WOW just went over there to look myself. Their numbers are SOOOO darn close. Scary for Melinda and LaKisha. Least we might get rid of Chris. I have a scary feeling I may not be happy with the 2nd person to leave this week

Zgoodgirl, my daughter also said that Chris messed up a line and she noticed him shaking his head when he did it.

Haven't seen the show yet, but I just listened to the mp3 of Blake to see what the excitement was about. I'm at the age where I "should" be traditional, but I loved it -- I just like his sound a lot. At this point I don't think that it matters if he wins AI or not, he will sell a lot of CDs.

They are keeping the voting open for 4 hours again this week, so theoretically they could get a larger number of votes than usual. put me down for "loved Blake" and also "Jon Bon Jovi is very hot"

Early Dial Idol results are interesting. Show only Jordin as safe, show Chris as out. The others could move up or down from second to fifth place based on the margin of error.

I thought Phil was great. One of his best performances. I love Jordin but she wasn't as good tonight as usual. However, I thought she was a lot better than the judges gave her credit for. Lakisha was great tonight. I liked her outfit (the only reason I mention the outfit is that some people said that they didn't like it) and she sang great. I'm not sure if it is enough at this point though. I absolutely loved Blake. To me this is what AI should be all about. He was great and he was original and he can sing! Chris was boring. Melinda kind of lost me for a few weeks but she is winning me back with a really gutsy performance with a bit of attitude. Good for her! So to sum up: Jordin not as good as usual but who cares? She's been so good for so long this is just a blip. Phil is getting better and Blake was fantastic. Dial Idol is now showing Jordin and Blake safe (Yay!) and Chris out.

That is very unusual to show someone as predicted to leave, but of course two will be leaving. They now have Jordin AND Blake predicted to be safe. The other three could go. Since they don't have any results for last week anymore, I'd assume they are combining with last week as they go.

Well of course I'll be watching the show, but I'm guessing I'll be voting for LaKisha and Melinda tonight. (assuming Jordin is still being listed as safe by that time, 90 minutes from now.

Chris is no longer predicted to be leaving and Jordin and Blake are still safe but their lead is shrinking.

Ahhh, Jon Bon Jovi - Da-amn he's better and better every year! I can't wait to see him perform tomorrow night! Totally off topic, but in 1986 at an outdoor concert at Buckeye Lake in Ohio, Jon and Richie 'encouraged' the audience to ahem, show more skin - preferably the females and their breasts...my girlfriends and I happily obliged, LOL. So yes, Jon has seen my boobs! HAHAHA oh, the show? yea, really liked Phil!

Ditto what Jimmer said. I absolutely loved Blake, too. I thought Phil did really great--his best. Melinda is still great, but just doesn't do it for me for whatever reason. LaKisha had a great night. Chris, eh. I felt bad that Jordin had a rough time with her song. It didn't show how great she is. I still want Jordin and Blake for the final two. I've never been a big Jon Bon Jovi fan, but thought both Blake and LaKisha did great versions of the music. Particularly, Blake.

Ah yes, things will be changing for hours, I would think. Still an hour until west coast voting can even START and it will go for 4 hours.

ITA with what Jimmer said too. As the night goes on and I refresh DialIdol, I am increasingly convinced that I'm not going to be happy by the second booting. Here's my more detailed take on Melinda since reading these posts helped me figure it out lol. I really liked her early on, but agreed with the widespread feeling that even though she had the voice, she was lacking in the emotional connection/umphhh part. And I would be lying if I didn't admit her constant surprised looks were starting to bug me. BUT this is what won me back over in a BIG way. To me part of Idol is about growing and progressing. She listened to the advice from the judges that echoed what I said and others here said, and she has changed it. Not just faked it, but to me worked REALLY hard at it. When she told Bon Jovi she was out of her element he said he'd help her and I must say she stunned me with not only how she did listen but look at her stage presence tonight. She has worked her fanny off to not be a prima donna, but to learn all she can and improve as much as she can. I've enjoyed this, and I'd love to see her in the finals with Jordin. My wild card is Phil...he has done much of the same and rather than give up he keep reinventing himself and has worked very hard on improving. His last few performances have been awesome so I want him in the F2 too lol. I think they want Blake to win because he is more inventive. But to me what is fresh and amusing on the Idol stage won't hold the same impact off it. Maybe it's just personal taste but he doesn't do it for me. I think Lakisha may be rebounding too late but least she has gotten back to form. And if Chris isn't gone tomorrow, along with his ever so pleasant nasal style lol, I'd be shocked and disappointed. Like I said, it's that 2nd slot that scares me. Sigh. BTW I agree that Bon Jovi was awesome. I hope he's performing tomorrow. Is he?

Hehe, Dakota has got to be one of the biggest Bon Jovi fans ever. She was in my room watching cartoons and when Phil started she came running out to watch the show. She loved him and thought he was terrific. I agree with her, lol. I think Jordin is great and am at this point rooting for her. I'm hoping one tough week that really isn't her style won't do her in. Lakeisha I thought was awesome. So far in the show I haven't been disappointed (I love Bon Jovi) even though I thought Jordin wasn't as great as she usually is. Blake's getting ready to go now, I'm kind of worried about this.

OMG(osh) I hated that! Ack, it was terrible, imo. I must have lost my hearing totally, cuz Randy and Paula love it! His singing really wasn't bad but the beatboxing stuff ruined it for me.

Chris didn't do a thing for me, lol. Wasn't too impressed. I did really enjoy Melinda as well, liked her rocker chick attitude, lol. I think my top three for tonight would be Phil, Lakeisha, and Melinda.

Melinda owned the night IMO, NQA!!!! Phil has really improved and Lakeshia has finally had a good week, she has been going downhill since her 1st performance. Not Jordins best, but hope she stays. Chris is pretty much the same week after week. I really dislike Blake, I'd rather be stuck in a mamogram machine hearing only my own shrill screams than listen to him.

Count me in as the half that hate it. I've been consistent in my dislike for Blake from the start and I think tonight sealed the deal for me...to bad he isn't going anywhere. Lakisha was the performance of the night and as someone already stated...she's back but it might be to little to late. Jordin is awesome and this may be the only time that I agree about song choice. Chris..never been a fan and never will be a fan. He's been around about 4 weeks too long. Phil did ok but he may have bloomed a few weeks to late.

interesting show, overall, pretty good with such tough music. Happy Lakisha had a great night, hasn't been going well for her. Blake's song was really really good. Didn't hate Phil, but he wasn't the best of the night. I think Simon wants Jordin to win, they can package her for teenagers really well. But for me Jordin is just the type of artist that if she records, my daughter will buy it, and I'll be screaming to turn that crap down and I certainly don't want to see all that grinning she does on billboards and tv all the time. But I'm not the target audience for the idol winner.. jmo

I was glad that Lakisha had such a good night. Melinda blew me away, but I was very disappointed with Jordin's song choice. It was so obvious, even when she was with Bon Jovi, that this song was inappropriate for her range. Why didn't they tell her to pick something else???

This morning on my local radio station, the DJ was talking about AI. So funny, said he didn't watch it but when he got home his wife handed him the phone cause she was tired of dialing. Said his wife had Jordin on speed dial and made him sit there and press the buttons for awhile. The DJ then said he actually went back to listen the songs and caught Melinda's song and couldn't believe how good she was and then played it on the radio (Can he do this legally?) After it finished he said, "the only comment I can make on this is when the He.. can we get her to come here" I have to say She sound really Great!! on the radio. Just listening to it on the radio without watching her, she really did have a "young Tina Turner" sound a little. It really was amazing to listen on the radio without the distraction of watching.
