Easy to pick the top 6: Lakisha, Sabrina, Melinda, Jordan, Gina, & Stephanie The others are really going to have to kick it up a few notches if they want even a slight chance of taking over one of these spots.

I was never a fantasia fan, her voice got on my nerves except for the summertime song. I also got annoyed with and not Fantasia's fault, the constant parading of the two year old. I thought that Jennifer Hudson should have won. Lakisha has a voice that will appeal to all.

And I thought Latoya London (do I have her name right?) was the best. I guess each of the three were each good singers in their own way, and each of them were unique. We all had a favorite. So how did that cute, but definitely "not up to par" Diana Digarmo make it to the end?

It's the voters thing again Roxip. I'm getting very cynical about who will get to the final few because it's never simply who has the most talent. Diana Digarmo was a big example of that. I didn't have anything against her, but she certainly shouldn't have been second. That's why I think Lakisha won't be around for as long as she should be. The really avid voting audience, the ones who actually determine who goes through (rather than us here, who might vote three or four times) just seems to prefer cute and bubbly (and imo causcasian) to strong and talented (and black). But hopefully I'll be proved wrong.

Where does she live, Mocha? That's cool. There's a boy from Baltimore who's going to be on TLC's new show on Monday night, too. He has stolen my heart

Once Jennifer Hudson got knocked out, I could have cared less who won Season 3. I am loving Lakisha (she blew me away last night with her performance) and Melinda (she will never work at a bank again). I also think Jordin, Sabrina and Gina did a fantastic job last night.

Put me on the Lakisha train! She is the best ever IMO. OT, I want to know the brand of bra she wears, I need that kind of lift!

"strong talented and black" that would have been RUBEN as well as Fantasia. I may not have been crazy about her but she sure was strong and talented.

Melinda is the backup singer and Lakisha is the bank teller, by the way. If she's like me she breaks down and goes to the Nordstroms or Saks in her area and gets a professional fitting, and then coughs over $60-$70 a pop. Believe me, you DO NOT put these babies through the washing machine...hand washing ONLY!

Lakisha was far and above the rest. I'm with Simon...have the other 23 pack their bags. She certainly took the wind out of the sails of some of those other gals. A league of her own and my favorite so far.

I'll be the only one watching to say this, but Lakisha should not be on Idol! Get her off this show and give her a contract and get her working on an album now. She's incredible and way way way beyond the rest of the top 24. It's almost like there's two competitions going on. There's a group who's great...Sabrina, Gina, Melinda, Jordin, and Stephanie and then those who are good but not up to them. I'm not even ranking Lakisha cuz she's got all of them beat, lol. They're definitely stronger on the female talent than the male talent this year. None of the guys have the power that some of these women have.

Even though the people who left weren't who I thought should go this week, I think they would be going anyway at some point. It's not like there was a big upset. Fantasia drives me crazy. I can't believe with all the time she's had and probably coaching, they can't get her to pronounce her "Ss" better. I literally cringed when she sang "Shister" instead of "Sister." I know, it can be her "style" but geeeze... you could wonder what the heck she was even trying to say, esp. when she's going to be on Broadway.

Actually that is probably the way they expect her to sing it...The Color Purple is about deep South, rural black life. The dialect (at least that in the book) is very "traditional" and slurry. And I don't mean that in a derogatory way.
