Mikalah needs to go tonight. It is her time. I still am not sure how I feel about her overall. While she annoys me, I too admire her spunk and realize that she is just a kid. I thought there were a lot of decent performances this week and would hate to pick the best but for pure entertainment, Constantine's "I Think I Love You" cracked me up. And I watched it both times, which is unusual for me (I tape and am the queen of fast forward.) My sister, on the other hand, said she hated it.

Mikalah's shirt said it all for me tonight. All I could think when I saw it was, "Yeah, she's doing a GREAT job!" I was putting DS to bed during most of the time this was on last night (darn kid fell asleep yesterday afternoon, so didn't want to sleep last night!), so missed most of it. I had to laugh when I came back out at 10:00 and DH was actually calling in some votes for the blond girl who sings country (can't remember her name for the life of me right now!). He's never voted in the four years this show has been on! He must really like her--even though he can't stand country! Mikalah needs to go this week. She's cute as a button, but she's standing on my last nerve. That voice is just so affected! She's from Las Vegas, not New York! What's with the accent??? Oh, and just have to add that I think Jessica is awesome. I actually got goose bumps when she was singing Tuesday night. That used to happen to me with Kelly Clarkson every week! Could that be a sign?

Are you serious,she is from Vegas? That means she is speaking like that on purpose? Acccck,and yes,according to her shirt,she is doing her job quite well.

She was born and raised in Las Vegas. What is up with that accent?

That sounds more like a Long Island accent to me.

I only invoked Flushing, Queens, because that is where Fran Drescher was born And maybe she just moved to Vegas, but even if she wanted to keep the accent, if she wants to sing, she probably should get coaching to lose it in her singing voice.. she isn't enunciating when she sings.

Well as a resident of Queens, I can state categorically I do not sound like that and none of neighbors do either (in fact most of MY neighbors have russian accents, lol)

Well I didn't think Fran Drescher represented everyone in her home town; hopefully not! And then there is Jee from Big Brother and his accent! That might be even more interesting on Mikalah. But seriously, Barbara Streisand can have quite an accent, but unless she's singing a specific role with an accent, you don't hear it in her singing. Hopefully Mikalah will move on down the road tonight. With her stage presence and over confidence, I'd say she should persue acting, not singing.

Constantine would have gotten my votes for the entertainment aspect too had I thought he needed them to stay in this. Scott, on the other hand does not deserve to leave yet & I don't believe he has an established fan base yet.

I am all for Carrie and Jessica. I had "How do I get you alone" stuck in my head all day Wednesday and Thursday. I think they will be the top two. I don't like Bo Bice's voice very much. I think he is more of a "look" than a voice. He seems to have a great personality. The guys this year just don't have the melodic talented voices of the past guys. I only see promise in Carrie and Jessica.....sorry, it's just MHO.

If Anwar would pick a good song I think he'd blow everyone away. I did like Carrie's singing, very nice. I was literally embarrassed watching Mikalah sing and I was alone! How on earth did she get so far? Simon did seem to enjoy her comments though, guess he likes her spunk.

I don't think Mikalah's Mom helped her cause last night, the apple didn't fall far from that tree.

Her Mom grabbed Ryan in a hug, would have grabbed the mike too if Ryan hadn't been so fast footed.

It's a little late to post this, but I just loved this review of the show. I agree with so much of it. Karaoke night on ''American Idol'' Article (well, darn, I can't get the link to do right} Think I got it Azriel; it was fighting all the way! <QT> Here are my favorite snips from the article. "Now I don't mean to single out Vonzell for criticism. Hands down, she's got the Miss Congeniality award in the bag, but she's got to stop following the bouncing ball and think about what she's supposed to be conveying to the audience. I had the same problem with Carrie Underwood's pitch-perfect but emotionally bereft take on Heart's ''Alone.'' While the song's lyrics suggested Carrie's romantic anguish was so intense that it chilled her to the bone, her blank stare and Heart-lite delivery suggested that, at best, her biggest emotional crisis in life was something along the lines of burying a pet hamster in the back yard at age 11. Why, then, has Simon prematurely crowned Carrie season 4 champ (especially when she didn't exactly rule last week with ''When Will I Be Loved'')? Maybe it's the same reason Carrie got such bombastic backing-vocal support while other competitors had to stand on their own: She'll probably sell a lot of records. After all, what better client for a team of music marketing execs than a completely blank slate?" "Jessica had the biggest challenge, squeezing the bloated beast called ''Total Eclipse of the Heart'' into the seconds-long slot allocated to each contestant. But just as she packed her ample cleavage into a strange-fitting orchid baby-doll top with random orange bow, Jessica managed to pack her performance with perfect pitch and raw emotion, and without doing a cheap impression of Bonnie Tyler." "Constantine Maroulis' shout-sing interpretation of the Partridge Family's ''I Think I Love You'' proved there's not a melody so appealing that Constantine can't ruin it. Please, someone bring back David Cassidy! And I'd rather pass the mike to Susan Dey than hear Mikalah Gordon mangle another ballad in front of a live TV audience. Don't get me wrong, I have a real soft sport for the spunky Vegas teen's schtick, but her ''Love Will Lead You Back'' led me right to my happy place for a good five minutes."
