Opens tonight with Randy dressed as Michael Jackson..Simon pointing at Paula's nose which is broken and caked with makeup..Ryan made a joke about the female dog being ok...He said the bitch was ok. They are going into a retrospective..showing how Blake and Jordin came from the same city of Seattle...
They are flipping a coin to see who goes first....Blake sings first..A song they have sung before, one they have not, and the idol song they will record...
Blake singing Shot through the heart...Doing his this....His voice is very weak...but it is original and in a stale Blake way...Doing all the beat spitting...Running around too much and he cannot keep up with the song..Cheese fries anyone.7..I just am tired of it..Randy said...10 for the beat boxing, singing was ok...Paula said something to show that she is strung out on pain killers... Simon said the singing was flat...
Jordin Sparx....Fighter by Christina...Once again I do not know the song which may hurt her... She is singing it well and you can clearly see that she is going to go on and produce a lot of number one hits..She is the Kelly Clarkson...The heir apparent. 10...I have heard of the song.. She looks good too..Randy said was not the greatest but your voice is stellar..Paula said the same thing...Simon said great you chose a younger song but weak in the middle. Calls round one to Blake...Paula said tie, and Randy said vocals to Jordin, and showmanship to Blake...
Blake singing She Will Be Loved..Good song for him...but he is a little flat and not strong...Just like I said before..Wearing his trade mark sweater.....Give it an 8....Some parts are in key but some are not..Randy said great song and nice vocal...Paula said you got into this...Simon said it was good and safe not as good as the first and it makes no impact...
Jordin...A Broken Wing...Voice very controlled..and she is getting towards the end and the big stanza and it sounds really good...Really good...10...Randy said you are the most talented and it was flawless and better than the original...Paula said you look great and sound great..Simon said Now that was good...
Blake...Singing the song written by two dudes called this is my now...Blake. I am just confused by this song...or at least the start...Ok the song is now going on and I am still very confused..The song sucks..maybe it is Blake...either the song is bad or Blake is flat...ouch....7....Randy said it was pretty good...Not great..Paula said it was a good job..Simon said it was odd..Not a bad song but not something great....
Jordin Sparx singing the same stupid song. If she makes this song interesting she should win..There was a commotion in the middle from the crowd..She is singing it really good but the song just sucks...it has no cadence and no flow....I think the writers were in love with the words and had no idea what the thing sounded like..Jordin should win the competition...Damn this song sux...9... Jordin crying at the end...Looked like a fake cry...cause she recovered fast..Randy....You were the best singer tonight...Paula said frickin...then said nothing..Simon said I was wrong about last week..and this is a singing show and you wiped the floor with Blake...I hope she wins at lest there will be some justice...There really is no competition and the title should go to her..

American Idol-Final Three
Although there are reports that Blake has already been selected as the sacrificial lamb by Fox Execs tonight, he should be going home anyway. Last week Lakisha was a bit of a surprise for the few of us that hold out hopes that it will truly be about the singing one day.
A scruffy Seacrest takes the stage tonight.. The judges pick, Producers pick, and each singer picks a song.
Jordin Sparx..Wishing on a Star picked by Simon. Pitchy in the first line but she seems to be getting into it..This was a good pick for her voice...After the first line she hit it out of the park..10.. She could record that song..Randy said she is in it to wind it..Said it was a nice run at the end. Paula said Simon picked a nice song. Simon said it was brilliant when she sung it but he did not like the arrangement. Then she acted a little phony with Ryan at the end.
Blake is looking a little sweet..Paula picked Roxanne..A lot of echo and reverb on the mic to enhance his voice... Hard song to sing and when he gets to the chorus he could not hit the note and took a lower octave..After that he became pitchy...All in all not too bad..7..Randy said it was hot..Paula said you were fantastic...Simon said it was not earth shattering..Said it was good not great...The crowd boo'd like the always do Simon..
Melinda Doolittle...Picked by Randy...I believe in you and me... This could be a great song for her..Starting off slow and in key..Her voice is very very in control. The end will make her or break her..So far so good..I think she changed the song a bit and it is gonna cost her...never hit the big spot...I think she did great and I give her about a 10...Randy said it was hot..Paula said you were great, best performance..Simon said it was difficult to sing and her best performance in the last 4 weeks..
Simon asked Ryan if he was drunk..Ryan looks shaken by the comment.
Jordin Sparx She works hard for the money....Starting off strong...she is walking around a lot and she is doing a good job staying in key but it is not a great choice of song and I wonder why they chose.. She sung it well..Have to give her a 10..Randy said it was hot...Paula said it was fantastic..Simon said it was a good performance but once again the arrangement was not that great....
Blake Lewis..Maroon Five...This Love... Good choice for his voice..Singing it well but his voice does not compare and he is doing the beat boxing in the middle..He is done being original and now is just plain ass cheesy...At the end he is yelling a bit to be heard..8...Randy said it was a good vibe for him...Paula said it is a good nite for him..Simon said he sounded comfortable..
Melinda Doolittle...Nutbush City Limits...Not sure what song this is..What a choice..Singing it really good but the song sucks ass.. I do not think a lot of people know what this song is and that stinks...Wow she is really singing it hard and well...10..Randy said...once again another stellar performance...Paula said did you have fun..Simon said it was another brilliant performance....
Last three songs are by the crew themselves so it should be their favorite songs...
Jordin Sparx...Missed what song it was...She is very controlled and the song choice is good for her cause it allows the soft and the strong in her voice to be showcased...This song could end up being the song that takes her to the prize...10...Randy said great performance, best performance for her tonight..Paula said nothing....Simon said it was sung well but it was such an old song he did not like it..
Blake...Robin Thicke Get you Alone.. He should have done the better song...I am not loving the choice and he is I don't know what to say..7..Randy said it was ok, cool..Paula said it was three great performances..Simon said I actually really liked that..You take a risk and that is what he likes about him...
Melinda Doolittle...I'm a Woman..Odd choice for a song...There is a lot of talking in this song at the start..She is singing it well..Very well put together...the back girls came out and she sang with them.. A nice homage to where she came from...10..Randy said he is seeing the range of Melinda Doolittle..Paula said you are stepping out..Simon said..Love the strip tease..said if he has to give the award for the most consistent every week...It is her...
We should be down to the two ladies tomorrow night....

American Idol-Down to the Final Four
As I predicted last week, the three girls and Blake are left. It should be fun...Now Melinda should win and probably Lakisha second but Jordin is my dark horse surprise..Blake should go after tonight, but he will treat us to one last original performance.
Show opens up with the final four on stage..Tonight we are treated to the sytlings of Barry Gibb..As the intro tells us he is the greats.
Melinda is First..Love you inside and out...She always picks hard songs..I like that about Melinda...Little behind at the start...Slow at first but when she hits the first stanza you can see that she could record this song...She has a nice way of using the back up singers to compliment her and he rolls were good...Have to say about a 9...Randy said..He was not jumping up and down..Paula said something really confusing but consistent..Simon said what Paula was trying to say was it was not incredible...I feel the judges were wrong in what they said
Blake..You should be dancing...Blake bullshitting at first about the legends...Flat from the start with the echo... vocals are bad...This is just strange..His voice is weak compared to the others..but he is an original freak...Strange is sounds like a child singing the vocals... 7....Randy said the beat boxing did not work tonight...Said it was corning like being at a strange disco in another country..Paula said the pitch was off..Not good..You are unique..Simon said unique but it was terrible..
Lakisha..Staying Alive...Hard song to sing..Making it a blues song...Not sure about this..She is not out of pitch but it has not boost to it...They said it was a slower version but I do not see that... 8..Not great... Randy said it was strange..said it did not work...Paula said something but Simon said they are heading for the exit..Simon said no kiss tonight baby...Back to the shouting..Performance was scary..Not great so far tonight..
Jordin Sparxx next singingToo Love Somebody...This is gonna be a good song for her..She will do this one well..Slow start and her pitch is good..Almost sounds country...Nice octave run..This is the best song of the night so far...10...Did not oversell the song and kept it simple..Randy said..the best so far and controlled..Paula said it is the best vocal so far.Simon said great choice, great singing you are back in the competition.
Melinda..Next singing How can you mend a broken heart.....She is singing it well, but the song is not her...middle is picking up..She is on tune and in the middle is really picking it up a notch...I actually like it by the end...10....It built...Randy said second song much better...You are a pro...Paula said no doubt..and something else..Simon...second half has put you into the semi finals.....
Blake..This is where I came in...Again an obscure song. This may be the death of Blake....In his sweater...No one knows what this song is and it has drained the audience of energy...It is not bad just a bad choice...This is gonna get a 7..No one will remember it...Randy said it is better than the last but just not feeling it..Paula said you are the contemporary rebel...Simon said I do not know what that song is and it is tuneless...Does not understand the song of choice.
Lakisha ...Run to Me..Nice song...Starting out acoustic...it changes the song and I am not sure if I like it...She sang it on key and at the end took it up a notch, so it was not bad...9..Randy said Much better that the first..said good luch..Paula said nothing...Simon said that her and Blake might leave tonight.
Into commercial at 852, Jordan could take the night tonight.. It all depends on the song choice and execution....
Jordin..Woman in Love..Good choice is she can pull it out...First note pitchy, but she is taking it slow again..She is singing it as good as Barbara S. She feels all the soul in the song...She gets a 10..Jordin wins the night... By song choice and singing.. Randy said it was pitchy..Don't see that...Paula said it was not something...Simon said it was old fashioned and pageantry...I do not agree with them..
Winners tonight were Jordin and Melinda...Going home is going to be Lakisha. Blake should but too many people like him..Like I said from the start..It should be the three ladies at the end..Lets see what happens tomorrow

American Idol Jon Bon Jovi Night
Ryan taking the stage tonight with his George Michael scruff and thanking all the people for raising 70 million last week..Then right into the Bon Jovi tribute...That high hair spandex wearing Jersey boy...Which idol is going to sing a Jovi song...Jon is giving his take on what he thinks they should do...
First up......Phil Stacey..Blaze of Glory...Jon saying he sang it better than him in so many words...God I hate when they start out in the audience..Where is the crying girl when you need her..Too much running around but he sang it pretty good...Have to say this is one of his best performances...cut out the cheese dick walking and strutting around...give him a 8....Randy name dropped again but then said it was his best...Paula said this is a year out of your life...Simon said it was not authentic...and he is not a rock star...After the critique, Ryan said they are all on a different page...Bickering ensued.
Next up is Jordin Sparxx...Singing Living on a prayer....This is gonna be a hard song to sing...Looking all haughty with her teased hair...She is doing a bad rock impression at first..She should have done a slow version..Like Cornell did with Billie Jean..She is not standing out in her songs like she normally does..She looks hot. I am gonna give her a 8 because she brought it home at the end..I am confused... I think it was good...Randy said not your best, Paula said nothing as usual, Simon said the look was bad, and the singing was out of control..She did agree with them..She should be safe
Lakeisha...Never heard of this song....Her lower register sounds weak compared to her higher one...She is really singing it well...I have to say that since I do not know it she could actually record this song and make a hit with it....She did good this week 10....Standing Ovation..Randy said you are back, little rough at the start and blew it out the box...Paula said nothing...Simon said he could kiss her after that and they brought her down for a kiss, and said he did not know the song but she nailed it..
Blake You Give Love a Bad Name...He started out doing impressions, but this is what I was talking about with Jordin..This guy has to be the most original ever to hit the AI stage...wow, I like it..I give him a 10 for creativity and doing something fun. Randy said you are the most original version on AI..Please read above... Paula said something...Simon said half will hate and half will love it
Chris Richardson...Singing Cowboy...He does sing from his nose..Has not learned to let it come from his belly..Does not sound too bad right now..Walk these street verse went pitchy and shouty...Looks like he is taking a dump...Not bad though give him an 8.....Randy said you did your thing...Paula said you did your thing..Simon said you did do as much as you could with this song, but he is not sure if he will be here next week...
Melinda Doolittle..Have a nice day
Final four
Jordin, Melinda, Lakiesha, Blake
George Bush to thank america for chipping in to save other people so he could continue to bomb and kill children everywhere..How sweet is that.
