That sucks, Ketchup. I've had to do that in the past.

Well tonight's show wasn't very good. I'd say one great performance out of eight. Melinda sang well as usual. At this point I can't honestly say why she doesn't appeal to me more. Lakisha wasn't spectacular though I really think she is a nice person and I like her. They both have great voices. I'm baffled as to why I don't find them more appealing as performers. Don't get me wrong. I like them. I just don't like them as much as I think I should like them (not sure if anyone will understand that or not). I do like Blake and I loved his beatboxing last week but this week he was terrible. I was sure he would be safe this week but now I'm not so sure. Jordan's first song was fantastic. Loved her and the song choice. I kind of groaned when she picked a Barbara Streisand song for her second choice. It wasn't as good but it was still far and away better than anyone else was. At this point, I'd love to see Jordan win it all!!!

Jimmer...I get it...I think both Melinda and Lakisha sing extraordinarily well. I like what I see of them as people. I would like to know them and hang out with them...but I just don't think they are Performers...

I think Lakisha will be out...but i also think whoever between Blake and Melinda is in the bottom two may help them a little bit in the finals three....Jordin is so in the final 2....

Well I got several votes in for Melinda who is the most taltented by far in my opinion. Just now got a few busy signals so maybe the phone lines were only open for a couple hours tonight. I sincerely hope Blake goes or LaKisha.

Don't worry, it won't because he won't be the one walking out.

I agree. It looks to me like Jordin and Blake will be the final two, unless the show's producers work some evil magic or their fans get over confident.

Without knowing what the above posts are saying about the show tonight, I want to tell ya'll what my 16 yr old niece just said about Blake's 2nd performance. She said she loved it and would buy it now. I wasn't blown away but is was entertained.

I'd vote for Blake to leave but so far Dial idol says he's not.

None of them are really exciting to me. Not like in prior years when the final 4 competitions really blew everyone away.

An hour after the show was over here in CA I started dialing the girls first numbers and got through the first time for each of 10 votes for the 3 of them. No busy's at all!

Only one who would surprise me in bottom 2 would be Jordin. Could split along female/male lines for final two, like it did the first season with Kelly and Justin, even though Tamayra was more talented than J. Think it could be either a Lakisha/Blake or Lakisha/Melinda bottom two--with hopefully Lakisha going home. I thought some of the judges comments were spot on tonight: re Blake and his gimmick getting boring (Randy"You don't have to do it in EVERY song") and from Paula to Melinda asking her to really let go and let it out (and she meant the personality, not the voice, which they all admit is technically great). They should take a page out of Dancing with the Stars book and have her watch someone like Billy Ray who is NOT technically proficient (in dancing, I mean) but who lets his personality shine and wins the audience with that.

Watching, ITA! (and that's a lot, coming from me.)

The difference for me between Melinda (or Lakisha) and Jordin is the first two sing with their voices while Jordin sings with her heart and soul. I"ll take a good singer who moves me over an technically perfect one who leaves me cold. (I'll even take Blake, who I find very entertaining, even though less talented voice-wise than the others).

Sometimes, it seems like the judges feel they HAVE to throw in a criticism every once in awhile. And poor Jordan...Simon has to go after the dress? Couldn't really dock her on anything else. She learned the truth at Seventeen Not to dress like beauty Queens...

Actually I love Robin Thicke's song and the couple of others off the CD that I've heard on the radio ...

I only saw the second half of the show but Lakisha's song raised the hairs on my arms (and in a good way). Her last note was off but I thought she sang beautifully and emotionally.
