I've been lazy the past 2 weeks!!!
Just to comment, I was shocked that Melinda went last week. Shocked.
On to this week... I will be even more shocked if Blake wins the whole thing. Jordin was amazing tonight. I think Blake will end up with some kind of career, but Jording just blew him away with her vocals.
The last song, in fairness to Blake, was absolutely a gushy, touching ballad that is really better suited towards Jordin's type of voice/singing. She had an advantage there, but she just sang it beautifully. Randy is right, Blake is the better entertainer, and Jordin is the better vocalist.
On another note, was Randy Jackson channelling Michael Jackson tonight? What was he wearing????? That jacket was hideous!
And....what kind of painkillers is Paula on? Tripping over your tiny dog & just about breaking your nose has got to hurt. She was totally drugged up & her lips looked very swelled. Is it me or do we think maybe she's had a little botox or something? She seemed very stiff.
So, to wrap it up, I think that Jordin is going to win the whole thing. If she doesn't, I'll be very surprised. (I voted for her 20 times.)

American Idol Review 11
Then there were four!
Each contestant had 2 songs (thankfully). I love the BeeGees & had very mixed feelings about last night. All in all, I think Jordin ran away with it! She's just amazing.
Melinda...I didn't love her tonight like I usually do. I liked the second song better than the first. Very good choice & she didn't change it too much. If I had to place her tonight, she would be in 2nd place.
Blake...I really like Blake, so I hate what I have to say. I think he may go this week. First of all, "You Should be Dancin'" is such a well known song, that it really shouldn't be messed with too much. I loved how he changed a well-known song last week, but I don't think it worked this week. I also think that it didn't showcase his singing too much. I heard the backup singers more than him. The second song was better, but I don't think people can relate to it because they don't know it. I agree with Randy that he doesn't need to add BB to every song. This song did not need it at all.
LaKisha...I kind of liked her version of Stayin' Alive. I liked the syncopation that she added. I do agree the tempo could have been closer to the original. Her second song was ok. As I'm thinking about it now, I can't remember what it was, so that may say something. I do remember her voice cracking at the end. I hope she doesn't go this week, but I think she is vulnerable.
Jordin was great. On her first song, she was very controlled & it was a perfect choice for her. For her second choice, I thought it showcased her voice well. I disagreed with the judges for the most part. It didn't sound "pitchy" to me, as Randy said. I see what Simon is saying about it being a little old-fashioned for her, but I thought she did really well. She's staying this week. I thnk she took first place tonight.
So, if I had to guess, it will be Blake, possibly LaKisha. I think Melinda & Jordin are safe.

American Idol Results05.02.07
Wow! Are we in the month of May already??? AI tickets go on sale May 19th for the summer tour!
Anyway, am I good or what? I said Chris & Phil. It's going to be a woman this year, I think. I don't think Blake can outlast the 3 powerful women on the show. But then again, he's really more a pop star than they all are. These next few weeks are going to be interesting & heartbreaking! Can't wait to see how it will turn out.
What are we going to do after these next 4 weeks? Oh, I know! Wait for the 2nd season of "So You Think You Can Dance" to begin!

American Idol Review 10
Sorry I missed last week. We had some storms and my DVR did not record Idol. I was putting Samantha to bed, so I didn't watch it live. It was a good show I heard.
Onto this week...Bon Jovi!!!! Is it me, or does Jon Bon Jovi get better looking as he ages? He was pretty good as a vocal coach.
I'll just run down the contestants.
Phil. I thought he shouted the whole song & didn't really "work" the song. He doesn't tell the story, just goes for the power. I also thought he was a little ahead of the music somewhere in the middle. Despite my criticism, I thought it was a good choice of song. I was very surprised that Randy & Paula liked it so much. I think he might be one of the 2 going home.
Jordin. The poor thing. She just is not a rocker & completely knows it. She took JBJ's advice, but messed it up. She knew it. I hope she doesn't go home because she is so good. One, it was a hard choice of song, then she started it too low. Anyway, hopefully she'll still be here next week.
LaKisha. She's back! I thought she did a great job, I thought. Great song choice, great execution, great control. She's not going anywhere this week!
Blake. He really took a chance. It's such a popular, well-known song that it could have gone either way. At first, I had doubts about his performance, but I think I liked it. It was a great song choice for him. However, I hated that hair!
Chris. I just think he's wimpy. This could have been a good song choice, but I thought it was boring. I also think that you should know the words to the song for the vocal coach.
Melinda. She did great. Great song choice! I love how she can change her style to whatever she sings. Totally agree with the judges, she had a Tina Turner quality.
I think this week Phil & Chris are going.
