LOL, Costa! Can we say that Sanjaya has Constantine Syndrome around a camera. He DOES seem to be attempting to leer at the camera lens.

I've never cared for what Melinda wears...her clothes always seems too tight and too "uptight" ...and she wears a belt that always seems too high. I think the stylist really needs to work with her to get her to look more relaxed in her clothing and perhaps she will relate better to her audience.

I agree that Melinda's clothes don't accentuate her appearance at all. Particularly the high neckline, high belt and too tight a fit. She has a tendency to hunch up her shoulders and her neck disappears. Her stage presence is non-existent. You can see why she fell into a back-up singer role. In fact she is perfect as a back-up singer. Awesome vocals but she wouldn't distract from the star performer.

Someone needs to help her out with these things and she would be great. Please don't think that I don't like her, based on my comments. I do like her. I just wish that someone would give her some good advice and she would listen to it, because she could be even more wonderful.

IIRC, they showed a clip early in the season (or it could have been on ET) of Melinda with 2 of her friends. One was a hair/makeup artist and the other a stylist and they were going to help her throughout the competition. She looked okay in the top 24 shows, but maybe the show's stylists have taken over and are putting her in ill-fitting clothes? She needs to go back to her friends picking out the clothes.

Jordin upstaged everyone (and the judges took notice) and continues to do so after she sang 'I Who Have Nothing' I cannot get myself to tape over her performance; I still play back.
Melinda and KiKi will get a record deal no doubt; but I want Jordin to win hers for she totally deserves it!!

Melinda's friends created a "style book" for her to use during the prelims. I dunno if it included suggestions for what to wear once she made the top twelve, though.

Even so, I think many of her choices (whether they are her friends', the AI stylists', or her own) are wrong for her body. She's very short waisted, with a short neck and broader shoulders. She needs to elongate her neck and her body. A nice empire dress that flows OUT from the body, with a lovely V-neckline would look good on her. She needs to avoid rounded collars and dresses that draw attention to her neck.

Actually, I think those that are dressing the idols this year are not doing such a good job. It still kinda seems as if they are dressing themselves. In past years, you could definitely tell the idols were being styled. This year? Not so much.

I'm kinda curious as to whether any of the girlz were wearing L.A.M.B. this week. Does anyone know?

I wouldn't know L.A.M.B. if it still had the fleece attached, Costa, so I can't be of any help to you.

(I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist.)

Oh good gawd, you folks! Where HAVE you been??? :-)

L.A.M.B. is Gwen Stefani's clothing line. A bit rocker, a bit "hara juku girl", and a lot fem. The top that Jordin wore kinda looked like Gwen's line, as did the boots Gina wore.

I was really surprised Chris S. got the boot. I thought he had the best voice of all the males. The judges were hard on him. Maybe this would work better, and more fairly, if there were different judges every week. Sadly, it appears some people vote based upon what the judges say, rather than how the singers actually sound.

Last year, the judges even said they hear differently in the studio than we do at home and had changed their mind on some of the contestants when they watched them on video.

Last year, Simon actually apologized (was it to Katherine McPhee?) saying that what he heard in the studio was completely different than what he heard when he watched the show.

That was Katharine McPhee that he apologized to. I was astonished when he did it. I predicted he would feel that way, but I didn't think he would say it!

The first time Melinda got a new 'do that was shorter and flipped out AND had a deep v neck layerd on top of something, that was a step in the right direction. I noticed after going back to heavy and curved inward she did have more of a flip out but frankly I think even shorter, more like Stephenie's do or like Mocha's new do (Mocha thinks Melinda should go curlier) would be helpful and yes, they should carefully select her outfits to not "fill in" her neck area, not with high collar or with hair, scarf, hat, jewelry, etc.

If she's short waisted, that is a problem that can plague a person, that I know personally.. and by definition any belt at the waistline will look "high" but a dropped belt, unless the person has a very boyish figure, will accentuate a wide part.. so, best not to belt.

Jimmer, I'd certainly have her work with a posture coach to determine if she actually hunches up her shoulders or if it is just the way she is built. It certainly appears that way, but being high waisted, having a short neck and a prominent lower jaw/chin, may just be something she's born with.

LOL, yes, you saw L.A.M.B. on Gwen Stefani, for sure. I thought Gina? Jordin? can't remember which one, might have had that label on.

I would think Haley could have carried off the Gwen Stefani/L.A.M.B look with her endless legs..

Short-waisted folks can minimize the look with empire waists (where the "belt" is just below the, well, you know. I'm so short-waisted, it's not even funny. But I've got the long legs that kinda draw attention away from the issue (plus a long neck). Melinda does hunch up when she sings, and that really makes her neck disappear.

I'd have thought they might've said something about the clothes they were wearing. L.A.M.B. stuff is pretty cool, but then, maybe it was just a shameless plug that wasn't necessary.

I'm a bit bummed I forgot to set the DVR to record the results show, as I'd have loved to see Gwen perform. She's one of my favorite artists. And I thought she was absolutely beautiful with her more subtle hair and makeup while she was coaching the idols. Did she perform with her girlz?

Costa, it was a really fun performance.. she had the girls and the singer she's going to be touring with too (Akon).

I agree, she looked so sweet and beautiful with the simple hair and makeup.

Instead of singing this week, they are going to have to dribble. It could get ugly.
