Jordan sparx singing Pat Benetar..Not a great choice of songs for her...Towards the middle of the song sounds out of breath..Couple little dead spots but overall not bad..7.5...Randy said way to start it off. Paula said she was exploding...Simon said it was bit manic..but she said she did well..But he does not think it was her strongest..
Sabrina up next...Great song choice...En Vogue..Don't let go...A lot of back ground singing but she is doing a good job getting her voice out there..Little screamy but not bad.. Have to give her an 8 right now..Randy said bad song choice, not the best but said it was solid...Paula said she can sing sing sing..Simon said you are a great singer but said she has no personality... Said it was mechanical...
Antonella NJ reprsenting..Singing Corine Baily Raye..Started off a bit...went flat at the start and she has not recovered..She has been flat the whole song and she does not carrry her notes long ..5..Randy said good song choice...Pitchy..Paula said that it was a good song bottom notes are bad...Simon said she has gone as far as she can go..Simon said he feels for her with all the media stuff the audience then applauded her slutty pics..shout out but said he hoped she was a better singer...
Haley...Not sure what song..Low in register..and slow...Middle picking up and her sound is good but the song is just blah..Sounds like a bubble gum pop song not challenging...I expect Barbie and Ken to drive on stage now in the pink vette and dance...7...Randy said it was interesting..Was not jumping up and down..It had no yo..Paula said nothing of relevance..Simon said it was a horrible HS performance...Ryan is trying to start a fight..Ya know there really is 4 girls shooting for 2 spots.
Stephanie up next Singing Chaka...looks great and she is hitting the song right from the start. She is sticking with the R&B she hit a pitch part in the middle but she sounds as good as any professional singer...End was yelly but overall you have to give her a 9...Randy said it was pitchy...Paula said she was flawless..that she fell behind..simon said she goes a little bit copy cat..She said she has earned her place in the top 12...
Lakisha..singing Whitney...This is another challenging song for her...Wow this girl can sing...It is almost like Whitney is singing it...Cannot even type....This is a 10 performance and may be looking at your next idol...Randy said not your best byt it was another solid performance..Paula said you will work on being the next idol..Simon said she brought passion, and everything else tonight...
Gina singing Evanessence..She is supposed to be the rock girl...Just sounds like she is shouting..not too bad give it a 7... Randy said pitchy but not bad...Paula said it is who she is...Simon..you enjoyed it and you looked comfortable..Said you screamed..but he hopes you get in..Shout out to the band...
Melinda is going to close the show out...Im a woman...Wow she can sing too..Picks very different music and this is a hard song to sing...and she is singing it just like they did back when... 10....She forgets how quiet she is... Randy said it was the best of the night..Paula said she is so great..Simon said you are a little tiger...I thought we had a pussy cat..Very nice to see you are enjoying..We will see you a million percent next week...

A few observations from a timid observer...
1) is it just me or do the girls have really cool names? Jordin Sparks, Sabrina Sloan, Haley Scarnato...
2) And correct me if i'm wrong but I think someone should notify the american idol judges that Melinda is no amateur- that she has previous acting/performing experience on tv... through some hard hitting Dan Rather style investigative reporting I dug up some photos (past and present...)
