Blake didn't do too good last night. I still like him better as a blonde!
I thought Jordin ROCKED and Melinda was stellar as usual. It's a toss up for me - could be either Blake or LaKisha who goes home tonight.

I don't really have an opinion about last night. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't great either.
The judges were quite confusing though. Too original, not original enough.... WHAT DO THEY WANT?
And it was the BeeGees.... not much they could really do with that. actually made for quite a boring show.
I think it was no big shock that Lakisha went home tonight. I'm sorry Lakisha :( I really liked her. I had her and Blake on about the same level last night. I also thought Melinda and Jordin were on an equal level with each other.
The Miami Herald reported this morning that Blake would pick up Chris and Phil's votes so Lakisha would probably go-they were right, along with most everyone else that watches it. However, I think Lakisha will go far and I'll definitely buy her CD/s.
I'm starting to think that Jordin is going to win. We'll see.
I wasn't real impressed with Pink(I normally love her) and I thought Barry Gibb sounded way off. Does anyone know if he's been ill? He isn't the same guy I remember at all from years ago. I realize he's older but he's so different.
It's funny you said that sparks :D I said the same thing. What do the judges want? Can they make up their minds if they want them to do it the original way or "make it their own"? They seem to do this every year. One night it's one way and the next week it's the opposite. :confused: :confused: :confused:
I hope Lakisha can make it in the music business. I think she's got incredible talent.
Did you all see the previews of the new show? It's kind of like American Idol, but with bands. Also, there is no age limit. I can't wait for that show!!
Hubby and I are still loving this show and practically plan the evening around it :o
Last season was the first time I saw AI and then only the last half or so. This time we watched every single minute including all of the auditions so it is even more exciting - I really feel involved in the top ten and espcially now that it is down to THREE :D
This week, I decided to try the voting thing (more than just a couple times) so gave Melinda about 20 minutes of my time on redial. It surprised me that I got through each time. Don't they have busy signals? I was expecting to have to keep trying to get through....
Well, I am really glad to know she was not in bottom two and really think and hope she wins. But, I really love all of these last folks and find that I have felt genuinely sad to see each one of the last few have to leave (yes even Sanjaya :rolleyes:)
Last night when they showed Lakisha's vignettes, I was thinking that she looks so much prettier, glammed up and maybe even thinner than when she was in the beginning. Maybe that is because of well fitting and stylish clothing - I enjoyed watching her. Silly but I find myself wondering little things like what she will do the next week - like have happy & fun time with her little girl? make some appearances on talk shows and the like? - and once again have time just at her home? - and hope that she stays with her career. She seemed so very sweet, looked as if she made close friends with the others...seemed that she and Blake were buddies :)
That new band show looks like it will be interesting and I also want to check out the new show featuring film making!
...looking forward to next couple weeks.
Deb - I get busy signals when I try to vote right after the show is over and they open the lines. I find if I wait a few minutes, it's easier to vote. Now that they have two numbers for each contestant, I try both numbers and whichever one I get through on, I keep hitting redial too - mostly for Melinda and Jordin ;)
I always get teary eyed when I think of how these young kids' lives are forever changed by this experience. Most of them do go on to careers in the entertainment industry - they may not cut record-setting award-winning albums, but will go on to Broadway or even like Kimberly Caldwell who is now a talk-show host for Idol Underground along with Justin Guarini from Season 1.
The top 10 will go on tour this summer so it's not like their AI experience is over - not by a long shot! FOX and AI own their butts for at least two years after they're on the show - it's part of the contract they sign when they make it through to the top 10.
Oh really, two years, I didn't know that. Hmm...not sure if that is a good thing for them or not. Lakisha is the first one I am sorry to see go. I think these last four have the talent and the personality/temperament to do well in the entertainment business. I really do wish Lakisha well, I am keeping my fingers crossed for her that she finds something she really enjoys doing, because I think she can excel.Quote:

Go Jordin!!!
Well .... well..... well.....
Sadly... tonight I think I'm going to have to say "See Ya!" to Blake, don't you fret sweet thang... I'll buy your album! :D
Oh my :eek: did Jordan sound great last night!! Wow!
YOU GO GIRL!!!
No matter which girl wins both are going to be VERY succesful!
If Melinda does more of what she did last night in her last 2 songs (Tina Turner kind of stuff) I'd buy her album.
I think it's going to be Blake & Melinda in the finals.
:D
I hope Melinda Wins!! She is amazing! And last night she just sounded awsome, as usual! She has definitely been my top choice since the beginning!
Tough call on who goes home tonight, but I have a feeling it will be Blake. Melinda and Jordin are awesome and will go very far. I do hope Melinda wins the whole thing.
It will be a very tough call for tonight for sure. I guess it's all come down to how many people make those phone calls. I really enjoyed all of them last night. This is one talented group. I know they'll all be successful after the show is over.
I'm already feeling sad that the show is almost over :( The only bad thing about it is when it comes to an end :(
I think Blake will have to pack his bags tonight :(
But I must admit I did vote about 20 times for Melinda lol.
they will all be successful though so I guess it doesn't really matter THAT much :D
It's always sad when this show ends but I know after it ends I always have "So You Think You Can Dance" to look forward too.
Same here!!!Quote:

:( :( :(
Yay! I wanted Melinda to leave. I'm sad to see her go but I didn't want it to be Blake or Jordin! Bye Melinda!
I am so dissapointed!!! :( I will buy what ever album you put out Melinda, you are awsome!!
I'm with you Maggie. I can't wait until her CD comes out. I'll run to the store for it. :) Actually, that's all I could think about when they were showing her journey. Just my guess, but I think Blake will win.Quote:

I sort of had a feeling she might leave since the other two were very young, hip, etc.
Now, I am thinking her votes will go to Jordin and send her to #1 - ya think??
It was a terrifically enjoyable season.
I could NOT believe Melinda went home, I just sat there is complete shock, everyone on the show looked stunned as well. may it will be like lat year, where the toss offs do WAAAAYYYY better then the winners lol(Chris Daughtry anyone?lol)
I hear ya Cali!! Daughtry is in my CD player in my car.....always!!
I was very shocked it was Melinda tonight as well. I thought for sure it'd be Blake going. But I'm okay with it. I really like all three of them. :D
I was also shocked and I thought that Melinda would win for sure. Now I hope that Jordin will win.:)
What did you all think of Elliot Yamin's new look? I would've never recognized him if I they didn't tell me who he was.
I agree! Blake and Jordin are younger and more hip, more in tune with the majority of the people that vote.Quote:

Go Jordin! :D
Wow that was an odd show,
It's weird .... Simon liked Melinda and she got voted off.
I realy thought it would have been Blake but it was not lol.
I hope he wins.
I also wanna watch this new band thing the show is talking about .. maybe some punks will apear. :D
I was not a fan of Elliott to begin with. While he does look better with his teeth fixed....the hair makes him look scroungy. I personally couldn't look at him for too long. And his voice has always been annoying to me too. Sorry Elliott fans, please don't be offended.Quote:

Well like they said on the radio this morning. it's the 10 and 12 year-olds who wouldn't buy Melinda's albums because she's so old :rolleyes: If you don't think the "vote" results are manipulated, you're probably delusional. Of course they are - AI is a marketing tool. They're counting on the younger-hipper contestants to appeal to a broader market.
Melinda will do well - it's the Jennifer Hudson "syndrome." Look at past years' contestants - Clay Aiken, Chris Daughtry, etc. The top three each year have done exceptionally well for themselves.
At this point, I hope Jordin wins; but I will be one of the first to buy Melinda's album over all the others.
Save me a place in line for Melinda's album!!!Quote:

Still it makes me sad. Melinda could sing any song you gave her and do it great. Blake is limited in that he turns everything into beat box. Which after a while, gets old in my book.
I hope Jordin wins now. :D
They mentioned on Fox news this morning that everyone that Simon likes gets voted off. Could be some petty people are voting off his favorites just to spite him, eh? Like the ones who vote for the worst one? Shame on anyone who would do that!!!! :(
I can't believe what I am reading.....Melinda voted off???! :confused:
We were at the Suns Vs. Spurs game last night, and they said that Jordin was 'safe' but that is all they said. We have it taped and will watch it tonight when my husband gets home......bummer, I now know the outcome....... :( I really liked Melinda, but just like everything else in this world - someone does control something and it is all for the purpose of the almighty dollar!
Well, now I really hope Jordin wins it all!
Jordin! Jordin! Jordin! She blew me away tonight. Voting starts now ...
I agree.:) I was able to get through 4 times and vote for her.:)Quote:

She starts crying and I hate when that happens because then some americans feel sorry for her then vote, Blake just does his own thing and never douts anything, I don't want Jordin to win lol ... she looks like she's 25 years old .. I mean I'm 17 and she makes me look like a little peepster lmao! I still don't belive she's 17. :p
I'm more into metal punk music but if Blake got some good songs he would be awsome.
If she wins again I belive Blake will step up and do better.
WOW! That was mean! So tell us how you really feel :rolleyes:
DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE AMERICAN IDOL FINALE!
YAY! Jordin wins! I knew it was going to be her and I'm glad it was her. I would've been happier if it were Blake but either way I'm glad. She was soo excited herself and didn't really want to cry. Wow, this was a great year for American Idol and can't wait until next year. Now I need to find something to do on my Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
I am glad Jordin won. But I think this year was weak. I enjoyed last year much more. I even saw them on tour. I have no desire to see this year on tour. Mainly because of Sanjaya. But it won't stop me from watching next year!! :D :D
:mad: Grrrrr! I can't believe I forgot it was on tonight. I went out tonight and raced home to watch LOST but in the back of my mind I knew I was forgetting something....
I loved Jordin from the second I saw her at the auditions! I couldn't be happier! Way to go girl! Lots of continued success!
Did anyone else miss who the winner was besides me? I DVR'd the show and watched the whole thing only to miss who this years winner was because the show went over on time :rolleyes:
So of course I went to the website and found out who the winner was, but I couldn't find a video. I had to see it on the news this morning :o
I really liked Blake, but thought Jordan would win. Congrats to her.
Melinda still should have won :p
**Doin' a happy happy dance!!**
I'm so happy Jordan won!
In my opinion she appeals to more people and age groups.
I can't wait to buy her album!
OMG.
Greenday was on last night ..... :D
They where the best thing on AI last night for sure.
I hope there's not going to be another season of American Idol.
Now Canadian Idol is comming up .... =_=''
