Chris sounded like an adolescent boy whose voice was changing. I found it distracting!

I didn't care for Chris but he's not in the bottom 3 IMO.

I felt bad for Stephanie because I thought she was going to do well and then she sort of lost it. Didn't like the dress either. I could feel myself tensing up the whole time Chris was singing... and that's not a good thing.

There is something too nervous about Chris. He holds back his posture. His gestures stop mid-way. He shuffles. It's as if he's afraid to fully commit to anything. It means he can't sell a song well, and it's going to sink him eventually, despite his hotness factor.

I don't think he's bottom 3 either, Deb. There were far worse than him! It's like 2 different competitions. How did they choose all of these people for the same comp?

WOO HOO! Very, VERY good from Simon! You go girl! I like her better than Lakisha and I love Melinda, but she's a semi-pro, so I'd like to see Jordin win.

Jordin is still my #1. I like her better than Lakisha & Melinda because I like the way she sings & I would definatly spend money on her music.

I love Jordin, too!! There's just something so refreshing about her. I think that's the difference between her and the other two top contenders.

I cannot get into Melinda because of the semi-pro aspect. I know it shouldn't affect me, but it does. I feel like I can sense more of the emotion with the others. I like Gina because she is somewhat local and I like the rocker chick deal. lol Love Lakisha, because she is so good and I like her personality and the Cinderella feel I get. I am on the fence on a few others. Some are just plain bad.

Watching2, I am with you 100% on your previous post...judges need to decide if they want them to "make it their own" or be "too copycat", sheesh, I'd be so confused if I were these kids. Oh, and put me down for Melinda tonight...I was as big a puddle as Paula when she was done. That song just kills me, its so moving, and Melinda made it so heartfelt

Haley looks like she could be Katherine McPhee's sister. Chris R. really mimics Justin Timberlake. In voice, and body movement etc. Blake has no upper lip. I'm liking Jordan, alot. I missed her interview w/ Ms Ross, however. Also, like LaKeisha (i'm originally from mich) and Melinda. What is her semi-pro background? I think the boys are going to be picked off 1 by 1 just like on survivor.

From what I heard, Melinda is a backup singer for some professional group.

She is a backup singer, I got the impression she has done session work for different artists, although its never been said who

I can't believe out of the gazillion's that auditioned this was the best they could find. We were spoiled last year. They should just hand Melinda the title and put us all out of our misery now. And as for her being pro or not...aren't the rules that you are eligible as long as you don't have a current recording contract? So being a backup singer wouldn't exclude her. You would think it wouldn't exclude other excellent talents that never got a break too, versus most of this group. And someone tell me how Sanjaya is still there? Yes he is cute, but I can sing better and I hurt my own ears when I sing. Good grief they did a horrid job casting this year IMHO BTW interesting new face on Diana Ross..not sure I would have recognized her without the hair lolol

One thing before I go on and read this thread...but I had to say this: Jordin is absolutely beautiful. I never noticed it till tonight...but she is a knockout and her voice is amazing.

Ok got curious so Googled to find out who Melinda did backup for. Found 2 things. The most interesting was they said she did it for American Idol 6. Hmmmmmm. Seems a bit like insider trading to me, but since she is saving my ears I won't complain. Here's the rest of the info; "Digging a little deeper Melinda Doolittle does indeed have a very successful career as a backup vocalist on recordings. She has recorded with Aaron Neville, CeCe Winans, and American Idol's own George Huff among many others. She is also a vocalist with the Music for the Soul Christian music ministry."

Not that it matters but here's my take....Melinda had me until she bowed her head and feigned shock that "all that was for me?" I'm not buying the "I just really don't know how good I am" routine and will go on record as saying...it's all an act. Oh she's good, she knows she's good, we know she's good, but the routine is getting old. Shoot Blake <100> and Chris R. They have what I'm going to call the "Elliot" factor. I didn't get Elliot and I'm not getting these guys either. Thank god Simon finally set Chris R. Straight. You're not Idol material, dude. Chris S. was mediocre as was Phil and I'm expecting great things from Gina. Brandons 3rd or 4th bad performance...we get it Brandon..you're not that good. Sanjaya's sister should have made it through and Haley who? Stephanie could be in the mix, but she needs to pick better songs. Lakisha is my horse and I'm one of the few that thinks she is better than Melinda. Maybe its because Lakisha seems to be more genuine...go figure.
