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
