Of course, this doesn't mean anything come Finale night. But, if it will be based on this scorecard, there's only one correct choice to carry the title of American Idol. Whether or not that proves to be the case remains to be seen.. See you on Tuesday!!

Wow! That's a whole lot of performances no? And arguably not too many stinkers in the bunch - tons of mediocre performances though. But based on my season-long tally, the count actually took me by surprise. I suspected Lauren would have the edge over most of live telecasts, but I didn't realize that Scotty managed to pull off a couple of performances: Lauren, 10; Scotty, 6; with one tie - obviously because of the duet!
