Whoa....did you just hear Melinda Doolittle? She sounded awesome! I can't wait to hear Lakisha!!
Melinda was amazing. She even surprised herself. I thought the Diana Ross songs wer pretty hard to do for some of them. Melinda and Lakisha were naturals. :)
This show really showed the difference between the girls and the guys.
Any picks from anybody on who might be leaving tomorrow?
I thought Brandon, Gina, and Chris R. could be on the bottom.
I thought Melinda was very good and always gives a wonderful performance. But I think as far as the performances tonight go, Lakeisha was by far the best. She was fabulous tonight; she absolutely knocked my socks off with tonight's performance.
As to who is leaving...I can only hope once again that it is Sanjaya.
Joyce, I have to say that Lakisha brought me to tears she was so good. When the announcement was made that she would be singing "God Bless the Child", I grabbed some tissues. I have always loved that song, no matter who has recorded it. Lakisha and Melinda are definitely in a different league. Why weren't they discovered before now? :)
I guess alot of us would think Sanjaya should be gone but I think he was better tonight and I just see him hanging on again.
I hope none of the girls go! They were awsome tonight! Sanjay needs to go, and the first guy up, realy blew it. Cant remember his name tho!
Who do I want voted off? Sanjaya!
I agree with you, Elizabethann. I have never faithfully watched American Idol, but I did watch the whole thing last night. I was so disappointed with what some of them did with Diana Ross's songs. Why mess with perfection? Sing them like they were written!
None of the "guys" impress me at all.
AMEN!!Quote:

Ugh...
Brandon bombed...big time. :( He has a great voice, but it's almost like he's afraid to use it.
I HOPE Sanjaya goes home tonight, if he doesn't :mad: I think it will be Brandon.
Melinda blew me away last night. I was crying right along with Paula and Melinda. I couldn't believe Simon asking her why she was crying! It was such a fabulous and emotionally charged performance, I think it's a normal human reaction to cry when something is so powerful it brings you to tears - it's a good thing!
Lakisha, Stephanie and Jordin were also all amazing.
Sanjaya reminded me of Michael Jackson and it wasn't a good impression. He's so young and so cute, but I think he's going to go tonight.
And poor Hayley - she knew she blew it.
Are they voting off one or two tonight?
I think it's just 1 person from now until the finals.Quote:

Who watched American Idol tonight?
I am so mad right now! Sanjaya didn't get kicked off! I'm so mad I could scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why it's he off? HE STINKS!!!!!!!
I watched it. I can believe that Sanjaya is still there. I don't agree with it but he seems to have a gigantic fan base somewhere. Who are these people? I can't imagine :(
How did everyone think Diana Ross sounded? I think she was pretty pitchy and didn't sound great at all.
People, people, people... This is a "SINGING" contest, NOT a contest on looks, personality, hair, clothes, popularity, but S-I-N-G-I-N-G!!!!
I can't believe that they did NOT vote off Sanjaya AGAIN!!! :mad:
Get the wax out of your ears, click your mute button off and for once, LISTEN!!!!!
*bangs head on keyboard* Ugh, Sanjaya is STILL there! I don't think he should've made it to the top 12 even. I am still so mad! Yeah, he's cute and all but I don't think he can sing. :mad:
*throws keyboard against wall*. I can't believe Sanjaya is still there either! He looked pretty shocked himself. I noticed the audience didn't sound very happy. I think his parents were the only ones who clapped.Quote:

I noticed this too - I think her voice has lost the power and she sounded like her voice is getting old. But she is still so beautiful and I love her smile.Quote:

I can't help but wonder what the kids must be thinking when their coach/mentor sounds a little pitchy throughout the song. :)
No wonder the winners are so successful. They are as close to perfect as it gets. :)
I would have been happy if any of the bottom 3 got the boot. I don't care for any of them. And add Haley to the list. She's a cutie, but that's about it.
I never cared for Brandon. I couldn't even remember his name before last night.
Sanjaya really needs to go, next.
......drat... he's still there..... wow.
What the H*LL is wrong with people??
Sanjaya needs to go!!!
I was reading a review yesterday on Yahoo about Sanjaya's perfromance and they said he sounded like a "Gnat after a Tracheotomy"
I was LMAO!!!!
Like I've been saying... there's always next week!
I just checked votefortheworst.com and they're pulling for Sanjaya. That could explain why he's made it so far. :rolleyes:
I've been following another board that tells what votefortheworst.com is doing. They were pulling for that girl Antonella for the girls and Sanjaya for the boys. Now all the push if for Sanjaya. He is definitely the worst!Quote:

I really like Blake but I thought his version of that song sounded horrible this week. He's much better than that. Oh well, there is only so much you can do with a Diana Ross song in my opinion.
I agree, Diana didn't sound too good. Too bad there isn't something to stop aging on your vocal cords like there is for your skin. :p
I must have smoked something because I thought Sanjaya actually sounded decent.
Based on the performances, I'd have to say that I think Gina is in trouble. She didn't do well at all. I didn't recognize a lot of the songs, but Gina, La Kesia and Chris R. didn't float my boat.
We must be smoking the same thing Deb!! ;) Sanjaya surprised me tonight. Where did he get that from? :)
Gina sounded awful and I figured anybody trying to sing a Rolling Stones song might fall flat. Lakisha's performance wasn't her best and I wish she would have chosen the other song Lulu suggested. I still love her though. I loved Jordan, Melinda, and Blake.
I will date myself here but I thought tonight's show was one of the best I've ever seen on the Idol stage. I grew up singing most of those songs and some of them just blew me away. I was amazed I still knew all the words after all these years!! :eek: I was actually singing louder than the contestants were and I had to keep making myself tone it down so I could hear them. It's too bad all the shows can't be that enjoyable(at least in my opinion).
What did everybody think of that poor kid that just couldn't stop crying? I know they were tears of joy but I thought they focused on her a little too much. How about some privacy guys?? Oh well, she got to come up on the stage afterwards and she'll never forget it. :)
I enjoyed most of tonight performances. I think Jordan was my favorite and for the first time I really liked Chris R. He didn't whine through his nose the whole time. I still love Blake and I think Sanjaya did much better.
I think Haley was the worst but after that outfit and performance she is probably safe (if lots of guys vote). I didn't care for Stephanie tonight either.
Very strange with that bawling little girl I thought. Wonder if there was something special about her - sick or something.
I have to agree with almost everything you said, Terry. I really enjoyed last night's show. There were some really good performances, but I attribute that to the fact that we just had some of the very best music back then. Look how well it has stood up and been adapted for today's youth. And yes, I had to stop myself from singing along, too. ;)
As to that bawling little girl...okay I am a very skeptical person...but, that is a picture you always see when they talk about the British invasion, the little blonde girl that just sat and cried all the way through the Beatles show. And she just happened to have been sitting on the aisle in the front of the theater. Sorry, too much of a coincidence for me.
This week was one of the best of all Idol weeks, IMO. Practically everyone got positive reviews.
Sanjaya actually sounded good, and I love the fact that he left his hair down and 'normal' so I can drool over it. (I like guys with that kind of hair :p )
I think Haley and Gina did the worst though. Gina was one of my favorites, but she didn't sound that good this week, nor did Haley. However, I think Haley has a chance of staying in only because of what she was wearing. ( and not to be nasty or anything, but to me it didn't look like she was wearing a bra XD )
And with the little girl, I just thought she was friggin' lucky! At first I thought she was just a really big Sanjaya fangirl, but then she cried through everyone's performances and got hugged by everyone. *is jealous*
Okay, I'm going to be the "bad guy". I thought Sanjaya stunk! P.U.!! I was shocked when the judges said he was good! I was wondering what they were smoking (and now I'm wondering what y'all are smoking). Heeheehee. ;)
I thought the leather girl (is that Gina?) was awful. Even worse than Sanjaya. I think she'll be voted off.
That little girl made me laugh. She was funny. Cute...but funny. At one point, it looked like the camera got bumped and it panned to the floor. I was expecting the little girl to be on the floor passed out. She made my night.
I liked the British Invasion songs myself....though they were before my time...sort of. :D
After the show, I had to let Fenway out to do his business. After that I went to vote for Melinda (who I thought was awesome) and I got through the first time! Then I thought, well I'll vote for her again to see if it was a fluke that I got through...and I got through again! Then I tried it a 3rd time, but didn't get through. I just thought it was strange that I got through 2 times. I was expecting the phones to be busy.
Did you hear that guy (can't remember his name), shout Fro Patrol? That was cute. Also, when he was walking through the audience, he touched some little girl's hand and the look on her face was priceless. You'd think she just touched the hand of Jesus Christ himself. It was sooo sweet...and funny.
Oh well. Guess we'll have to wait to see who gets voted off tonight. I wonder if that little girl will be there?
I thought this was Sanjaya's best performance.........but he still is HORRIBLE!!!
I liked Jordin and Blake the best last night.
If this votefortheworst thing follows through I hope Haley goes. However, I WANT Sanjaya to be GONE!!!
I loved last nights show.
LOL I hope my hubby doesn't read this thread and see all the bad writings about Gina.... LOL he thinks she's a hottie hahaha. But even he agreed that she didn't do very well.
I have to say.... Sanjaya did well.... for him. I loved that he FINALLY showed some personality lol if nothing else. and it was shocking to see him sing a song like that. Definately HIS best performance.
LOL as for Haley... she most certainly was NOT wearing a bra.... her shirt was totally open at the back and there was no bra there... unless she was wearing those stick on things. But the way she was"swinging" around lol I have a hard time believing there was a bra there. And it must have been cold in there hahaha. But I did love her shoes :D HAHAHAHA my husband said that she would get the male vote for sure.... and I said "Heck.... even I couldn't concentrate on her singing" lol
melinda.... always my favourite.... and I just LOVE Blake. He's so unique and different from anyone that has been on the show before... and I've said it before and I will say it again.... He kind of reminds me of Sting or Bono when he goes into that higher register. and he sure knows how to work the audience with his eyes.
Chris R bothers me lol. I hate the way he bobs around and he does get really nasally a lot. They are always telling him how wonderful he is and I just don't see it.
Phil, Well he just creeps me out. Those big alien eyes.... I feel like he is looking right through me. Creepy.
DITTO!!! :eek: :eek:Quote:

I took a photo of him on T.v and this printed out, :eek:Quote:

I could have sworn I heard him say ''E.T phone home'' in a lyric the other day!

YES! My husband says Sting and I say Bono too. WE thought that the first time we heard him sing in the top 24. I love his sound and style! He is my favorite guy and Jordin is my favorite girl.Quote:

That was sad. I can't believe she was voted off :(Quote:

*throws computer out of window* :mad:
Now I'm really losing faith in this show. Stephanie is pretty doggone good in my opinion. She is one of the last ones I would have picked to go and we still have several people there who needed to go a long time ago??? :p :confused: :rolleyes: It's crazy. I hope somebody grabs Steph and gives her a big ole contract and she becomes very famous!! :D
I was talking to my mom about this tonight.... I was saying that I actually hope Melinda and Lakisha DON'T win because the runners up seem to have better careers than the winners do... and you KNOW they will go places whether they win or not.Quote:
