American Idol

You're right sparks. I think the last contestants, from any year, will have a chance at a successful career. However, it seems it's all in the marketing. I think Bo Bice could have been alot more successful if he had been marketed better.

Melinda will succeed no matter where she ends up in the order. She is really out of her league on American Idol. She's been a professional from day one.

Yes marketing plays a huge part.

Although I heard that after Idol Bo took some time off because his wife or g/f had a baby. Not saying that is a bad thing but when you come off a show like AI I think you need to get out there right away.... if you take time off between the show and your album people will forget about you.

But then Reuben IMO wasn't very successful.... I don't think I have ever heard one of his songs.... and Clay who came in second was wildly successful.

But it's different each year so who knows lol

Welll... what did everyone think about last night?

I didn't like Blake's first song and only kind of liked his 2nd song.
I liked all of the girls songs!

Even though Blake didn't too so hot last night, I think Lakisha will go home tonight.

I didn't watch it last night. It was so beautiful out that I took the dog for a walk and then I watched a scarey movie.

A co-worker said she thought they were awful except for Blake's 2nd song. She said it was good.

I think I miss Sanjaya. I could watch him each week and talk about how awful he was and how he needed to be voted off. Now the show's boring. IMO.

Bring back Sanjaya! Just kidding.

WHAT!!! *faints*

Ha Ha Ha... that wasn't funny!!

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 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.
