That was a mediocre show. At this point Lakisha and Melinda sound the same all the time and I find them boring. They are excellent singers but they just don't seem to be able to complete the package so they are frustrating to watch. Phil's performances are dull.

Haley is obviously just going for the hot look. I still found her performance was fun and had some life to it. I nearly forgot to mention Chris (I guess that sums up my feelings about him). Jordin is great and I love her but she didn't seem to have the same energy tonight.

Blake was very good and fun. As much as it pains me to admit it, I probably enjoyed Sanjaya's performance the most tonight and before the show I would never have dreamed I would be saying that. I liked the song, he was smooth, he seemed on key, and I thought he looked the part. Plus JLo loves him (LOL).

So who do I cheer on to win this? People who are great vocalists but whose performances don't entertain me or people who are average vocalists but are fun to watch?

I think I'll stick with cheering on Jordin (and Blake) – best of both worlds.

Well, I still like Blake and Jordin the best. Melinda and LaKisha are great vocally, but I'd never buy their CD and they bore me to tears at times. Blake entertains me and Jordin is just a cutie with an awesome voice. Might not have been her best night, but Latin is usually a hard week for everyone. I think Chris was third vocally. They never give the guy a break and I'm sure it's because of his looks. He can sing.

Sanjaya didn't make me laugh as most weeks so I guess I was a tad disappointed. That being said, it was probably his best performance so far, but the eyes to the camera gave me the heebee geebees! LOL

I thought it was pretty funny that nobody sang a J-Lo song but 3? of the girls sang Gloria Estafan songs.

LOL - They were probably too intimidated to sing JLo songs. I thought it was gutsy of Blake to sing a Marc Anthony song! Jlo wouldn't dare say he sounded better than the original.

Did Sanjaya use some eye liner to draw in some facial hair?

I find it strangely impressive the way Sanjaya eyes the camera. Don't think I could do that. I know most here would disagree, but I think he is incredibly precocious. The judges are starting to look embarrassed, as if he has outsmarted them (as Randy sort of alluded). Maybe he'll be next to win an Oscar

Check out Dial Idol if you want to see something scary (at least it will be scary to most people here).

Finished watching the show here on the west coast and found it terribly boring, although Blake is still my favorite. I actually got 29 votes in for him before 10:00PM PST. First time I have voted this season.

This is what DialIdol looks like:

Blake
Melinda
Phil
Sanjaya
Chris
Haley
Jordin
Lakisha

You're kidding...right?

With the exception of maybe one show so far...I always hear them give kudos to a wholly inadequate singer, whose only talent lies in mimicking a true Pop Star...which of course is my opinion. ;D

I hate to say it, but if Lakisha and/or Melinda can't crank it out any better than sounding like a broken record every week...then that's the breaks. I'm telling ya...when Blake is the best vocal of the night...I begin to really feel that Randy, Paula and Simon gave no real thought to who they should put through to the top 24. JMHO.

Ms. Lopez, Haley, Jordin, and Sanjaya looked hotter than hell this week. Jordin and Sanjaya looked like little sex kittens.

I didn't think any one of them sang anything I needed to hear.

Ooops, I put the wrong person's name down!!! It's Phil, not Chris!!!! I agree about Chris!!! D'oh!!!! Maybe that's another part of Phil's problem! People are voting for Chris or someone else since they can't remember his name. LOL My bad!

If Jordin goes, I'll be really ticked!

I think even Ryan is bugged by the camera mugging Sanjaya is practicing now. I thought it was basically obnoxious.

As for his singing, I think Simon said it best, he sounded 14 and I was thinking it was pretty on key but then they quickly went to Melinda's recap clip and the difference was jarring (Melinda sounding better)

And the addition of facial topiary grunge just made me shudder.

And I have to agree that overall it was a boring night, or as Simon and Randy alluded to, no one was really stepping up and improving last night.

I do see Melinda realy trying different hairstyles and looks.

I still like Jordin and I enjoyed hearing Gina on Ellen more than the performances I heard last night.

Melinda looked good tonight. I think she's an old soul. That song sounded old to me. The band drowned her out a couple times but she still rocked.

I teach Tuesday nights, so I record Idol and fast-forward through most of it. If the performances don't catch me within the first few bars of the song, it's on to the judges comments.

Blake is the only one I watched completely last night. I usually watch Jordin, but not last night. I find Melinda and Lakisha, while technically excellent, boring performers. No one this season has grabbed me.

Maybe it's because I listened to Chris Daughtry's CD on the way home. No comparison to what he (and more than a few others) did last season and what's going on this season.

Did anyone notice that one of the hippies that won the Amazing Race last year was with Sanjaya's sister in the audience???

If Sanjay stays over Jordin...sorry, but I might have to start smacking every teenybopper I see w/a phone.

Got to work this am, turned on my computer and went straight to this thread and read the whole thing. What amazes me is that all of you missed the most important part of the show... MICKY DOLENZ! He was in the audience. That had to be a shout out to TVCHer's after the big discussion about him in a previous thread. If you're here Micky, a big hello to you.

Maris, I doubted you at the beginning, but I think you may be right. Sanjaya has a good chance of winning this.

Coach, I thought that guy was creepy the way he was grabbing her. I didn't realize who it was.

While watching Haley last night all I could think was that she is a typical pop star. Most of them can't really sing. There voices are electronically altered on their records and they lip synch when they are on stage. And they wear as little as possible. I think Haley fits that mold perfectly. But will she be the AI? I don't think so.

I don't watch TAR, but I did notice a 'friend' it seemed who looked like he was homeless.

Maybe we can do a write in vote for Micky Dolenz

I thought J Lo did a great job last night and I must say I enjoyed her more than most of the show. Not a great night but I still love Jordin and hope dial idol is wrong about her being in the bottom.

I thought Blake was the best of the evening and it seems to me that Idol has surrendered and thrown in the white flag. They have decided to give Sanjaya songs that he will not butcher and dont demand a lot in terms of talent. I think they see the writing on the wall and they are trying now to orchestrate his deserving to win.

Sanjaya was not half bad last night but he creeps me out. Blakes pants creep me out week after week, where does he get them. I thought Melinda looked great last night but her performance didnt wow me. I agree Lakisha is becoming boring, she needs to change things up a bit. Chris R, Idol loves him and they arent getting rid of him anytime soon.

I get really tired of Paula saying that Jordin is adorable, it is so clear to me that they do not want that girl to win. I also find Simon insulting in the way he speaks to Haley, not that the stylists dont deliberately dress her to expose as much as possible, Simon needs to cut back on the comments. They dont like Phil and they will do everything they can to get him out.

I haven't watched the show yet, but... no one sang a J-Lo song? How weird is that? I wonder if she just wouldn't give 'em the rights to sing the song?
