I thought everyone did ok last night except for Blake's first performance. It was cringe worthy to me. Jordin especially shined I am hoping for a Jordin/Melinda finale.

Jordan's first song last night was, to me, sublime.When Randy, I think, said it reminded him of Mariah, he echoed exactly what I was thinking when I was listening to it. A Woman in Love, though? There is a good reason people don't remake Barbra's songs. That was an abomination. The tone of her voice during the entire second half was too heavy and pleading and in the first half, where Streisand had that beautiful lilting lightness to her voice, Jordin's plodded along. This was the second time she performed a song La Barbra has done and both times she showed the difference between greatness and...whatever that was. Blake was awful. Just awful. Lakisha had one good song, and I thought that odd last note on the second song was intentional. Maybe I'm wrong. Melinda was very professional. She is like this season's LaToya. Just lovely, but I couldn't be less interested. I prefer a singer like Lakisa, who at least has me on edge seeing what chances she is willing to take.

I'm not saying a negative thing about any of them because I really liked them all. I want Jordin to win or Melinda or Lakisha or even Blake, lol.

"did Barry Gibb remind anyone else of the Geico Cavemen???" Oh my gosh, that's so funny but so true Texannie!! I don't care who goes this week, as long as it isn't Jordin. I want Jordin to win.

That is exactly what is wrong with Melinda Tish, she is the only one who doesnt take any chances. She is technically perfect and takes no risks. I also think Jordin played it safe last night. I thought Lakisha did better than the judges gave her credit for but I have thought that they decided a few weeks back they dont want Lakisha to win this thing. They want a Jordin Blake final two.

I would be very happy with a Jordin / Blake final two with Jordin winning (though I wouldn't be terribly upset if Blake won). At this point, I like them all and would like to see them all do well.

When I was voting last night, right when voting opened, I didn't get one busy signal. What's up with that?!?! I voted for Blake and Jordin over and over and over. I then called Melinda's line once just to see if I got a busy signal. Nope. Very, very strange. I've never been able to get through like that when voting first opens. I think Lakisha will go home. I really enjoyed Blake last night. I wasn't familiar with the second song, but I liked it too.

It's so weird how some people get through easily and others don't. I had a hard time getting through the whole 2 hrs, although the 2nd hr. I would get through every 4 or 5 tries. I don't even get a busy signal..just all circuits busy or some other message from my carrier.

I enjoyed Jordan's version of "A woman In Love". Though we think of Barbara when we hear that song, we are stuck with Barbara's pitch and tone of voice; whereas Jordan had her pitch and tone and made the song hers. I totally love Jordan anyway!

I liked the beatboxing in the first song but not the singing and vice versa in the second song...I liked Lakisha's singing better this week than in the past few. I thought both her and Melinda put more feeling into it. I still think Blake looks like a dead fish singing most of the time. Jordin I loved.

Can't stand the beatboxing, sounds like spitting. Really, really, really, really hope he goes home tonight and Lakisha next week.

I really like all four of the contestants left (they are all unique), but if I hadda pick two to go to the finals, I'm thinking now I'll pick Jordin and Blake. Here's my preference for order in which the remaining contestants leave: LaKisha: I really like her, but I'm not as enthralled as I was in the early days of this competition (it may be that she was so good ocmpared to most of those who made it thru Hollywood, that I was blinded by her big voice). I don't know if she'll be signed to a contract, but this has been good exposure for her. Still, I don't see her as an "idol." Melinda: I really like her, but her personality just doesn't WOW me! I think she'll be signed to a contract somewhere and will do well without AI. Blake: I really like him, and I like that he's unique. Sometimes, I think he goes a bit overboard on his beatboxing, but most times I like it. His voice is a little thin sometimes, to me, and I can't believe he can sing in such a high key. I'm not really sure I see him as an "idol" but if he doesn't win I'm sure he'll get a recording contract, too. Jordin: I'm now completely wowed by this girl. I think she's truly got "idol" all over her - she's pretty, and she can sing. For a 17 year old, she's got great stage presence and can show real emotion when she sings.

LOL Dfng and Watching! Kinda fun in each others' heads, yes? <wink> I'm glad Phil ish't there. Never liked him, or Chris. I am happy with the final four, and truly, it's the four I've liked almost from the beginning. I do think it'll be interesting to see what the order of eliminations is now, though. Like, I wonder if the "young" votes will now go to Jordin, since the "cute" (and I use that term loosely) Chris is gone.

Costa, nothing personal, but I don't want you in my head... it's crowded enough with me, myself, and Fred. :-P None of the four really "get" me. Yeah, they're good, but there aren't any goosebumps. No one makes me jump up from the couch in excitment because the show is about to start.

I've watched several Idol seasons and this is the one I've enjoyed the most. I'm going with a Melinda/Blake final but I think that any one of the final four will do the show proud. And as the show comes to an end, I've been a lurking participant this season, but I have enjoyed reading this thread. Thanks so much.
