I honestly liked LaKisha’s “Stayin Alive” and was dumbfounded when the judges hated it. It wasn’t THAT bad. But I think she was already picked to leave tonight before the show even started.
Blake’s “You Should Be Dancing” was awful.
Barry Gibb: Jordin will become one of the greatest female singer stars of all time. 
Don’t get me wrong, I think she’s lovely and she sings very well for being so young. But I feel like I’ve heard her voice from a lot of people. There’s no individual character to it. And that second song was totally pageanty, as Simon said.
I love how they show all the people holding up misspelled and grammatically horrible signs.
I really want to beat people with the your/you’re difference woodburned into a big wooden bat.
I like that Pink is singing tonight…
Are they having audio troubles?
I like this group song.
It’s so weird the way LaKisha pronounces the “g” at the end of “-ing” words. She gives it its own syllable almost… with a “g-” at the end like she’s starting a new word that starts with g. It is irritating.
Jordin’s safe… that wasn’t a surprise.
And I’m still not understanding how declaring a loser between 4 ca take so long.
This sounds like this because of mic problems, right?
Now we get to hear LaKisha sing-ging for one last time.
Hmm, I think this week Lakisha goes… No way is Melinda leaving today. Unless something like Chris Daughtry happens…
Well, Lakisha’s on her way home. I do hope she gets some sort of music career start out of this, because she very clearly does have talent.
Best of luck to you Lakisha
Goodbye, Lakitha!
Well, I liked Lakisha, she had some good moments, but I think the final three worked out for the best.
I’m pretty sure Blake will go home next week. We’ll see.
The awkward group hug, with everyone skittling around like an eight-legged weeble, was embarassingly silly. I understand the bonds that can develop in situations like this, but Jesus people, muster up some decorum and self-esteem.
I loved the interview Ryan had with the two kids on the sidewalk. “Who do you think will win?” “The Lakers.” Priceless.
I think the final will come down to Melinda and Jordin with the winner being a toss up. If for some reason the final is Blake against either one of the girls, then whichever girl he competes against will win.
Loved the pictures of Jordin as a little girl. She’s right, she looks just the same only smaller.
Ah Lakisha, just when you got your hair juuuust right.
I must say that I’m glad, after months and months of America voting in ways that mystified me, in the end me and my countrypeeps are seeing eye to eye.
I thought the groupsing was horrible- I really hope it was a mic/mixing issue, but they sounded bad.
Also, what the hell happened to Barry? He should stick to writing and producing these days. He could barely get the words out, and the big finish was breathy and lackluster, to say the least. Ugh.
Hey, anyone know what the theme is next week? Or is it freeform from here on in?
americanidol.com is still vague: “Watch on Tuesday at 8/7c as the Top Three give us everything they’ve got.”
Those flashbacks were unfortunate. I had forgotten how it looked before. I was curious what exactly had gone on Tuesday morning to mess her up, and what had she wanted to wear that she couldn’t? Don’t tease me with bits of gossip!
