West Coaster here - Chris R. is singing. It's funny how you perceive 60's stars like Peter Noone and Lulu as passe but then you see this and realize how wrong you are. Peter Noone was right on with Chris R. - his songs always are the same, kind of breathy. Sorry, not really impressed with Chris. I guess I prefer more edge in my singers.

I was very disapointed that Simon, Paula and Randy did not seem to give enough "props" to Jordin. She did an amazing job. They have gushed over and over about Melinda and Lakeisha when they sang it all out, they didn't come near giving that to Jordin. What a voice this kid has! Pure talent.

That was the most fun I've had watching an Idol show in a very long time. I agree with most of the comments. The songs were great and Peter and Lulu did an excellent job mentoring and coaching. With respect to the performances, I'm not a big fan of any of the guys but if I had to pick one I'd say that Blake gave the best performance of the guys. Haley isn't nearly as powerful as the rest of the girls but I thought she was cute, sang well in her style and she certainly looked good. Lakisha is a great singer but she wasn't up to her usual high standard tonight. A bit disappointing. Gina wasn't nearly as good as I thought she would be – she had a rough night but I still like her. Stephanie was okay but not spectacular. Melinda was Melinda. Extremely talented and almost robotic singing perfection but she didn't really move me that much tonight. Jordin was wonderful. I love her performances. She is my favorite so far! Oddly enough, this was the most I've enjoyed watching Sanjaya. He managed to get a rocker sort of rough edge into his voice and it was surprisingly fun to watch. Phil …. Bad song choice – argh. Not good at all. I'm pretty indifferent about the rest of the guys – except I don't get Chris Sligh's appeal. Finally, "crying girl" with Sanjaya, Melinda and then the rest of the group was great. The shot of her friend at the end was hilarious. That was a very fun show to watch!

I thought the Noone and Lulu were probably the best mentors the show has ever had. They did an amazing job. Must say I am surprised that Lakisha's performance was not better received, because it really blew me away, for the first time ever. Think I may have even enjoyed her more than Melinda tonite. I was really glad to see Blake deliver a killer performance and get rave reviews. Even though last week I think was his weakest, it didn't make me lose any enthusiasm for him overall. I think he is the best male performer the show has ever had. I could really enjoy listening to him on CD - his tone is beautiful and he has a great sense of pitch. I am actually feeling sorry for the bottom 3 already. They are all talented and most shone brightly night, wish I could vote for them all .....

Jordin out sang them all. Lakisha and Melinda weren't at their best tonight. I don't get Blake or Chris R. Phil and Sanjaya bottom 2.

Melinda stole the show once again. She is phenomonal. Maybe whoever she sang back up for wanted her to stay there and never gave her any indication of how good she was. There really are people that nice and unaware of their talents, I've known several. Jordin is also incredible, she and Melinda are my top 2 by a landslide. LaKisha had an off night, in dawg language, it was just arite, not her best. Gina was bad, Stephanie was just okish and Haley sang horribly and appeared to be missing a pole to dance around. To my utter surprise, I thought Blake did quite well. Chris R started out well, I kinda liked Phil, Chris S was uneven and although I think Sanjaya needs to go, it was his best, but still not very good at all.

Obviously I'm watching a different show than the judges and I guess the majority of America. I'll take Chris S over Blake and Steph over Haley.

Why oh why did I not record Sanjaya's performance tonight... that was the single funniest AI moment ever I think. (I gotta trust you all more, I've been recording based on comments but couldn't bring myself to acknowledge the greatness of that entire moment...)

Justin, don't believe Naja. It was slightly better than Erika & Boogie rubbing each other on nightcam.

Oh, I can't believe you all couldn't see the jewel of a performance by the producers! Clipping him to the crying girl, it was great. I all but fell off the couch laughing. I'm really looking forward to the end with whatever they do to bring her back. They MUST-- I repeat, MUST-- put Hasselhoff and Crying Girl in the front row of the finale.

There is still an hour of west coast voting.. at the moment Sanjaya is ahead of Lakisha. From Chris R down each is statistically safe or could be voted off. As of now Melinda Phil Blake Sanjaya LaKisha Jordin Chris R. Haley Chris S. Stephenie Gina Also Gina slipped back below Stephenie. But exactly an hour on west coast to go.

I did want to add, I really think that this was one of the better shows this season, and not just because of Sanjaya's performance. I really think that A> singing songs written for younger singers (as much of this music was, but not all) and B> (totally agree with Sharinia) the amount of help that Lulu and Peter Noone appeared to be providing, really helped. You could tell they were mostly listening to the advice, and it really helped the show. I don't think anyone was there for a new album, they were there for the love of the music. In a show that could've been a total disaster (given that it seemed as many had never heard these songs before) it came out really entertaining, even if not perfect.

This was good show tonight. I found myself smiling while Sanjaya was performing because it was very easy to tell he was really enjoying himself. This was a good song for him and he had fun with it too. Good for him!

I agree that this show was a surprise delight, and that was mostly because of LuLu and Peter Noone. And who peepeed in Simon's corn flakes when Ryan was talking to Peter? You could almost see the word balloon over his head: "I'M the good looking charming Brit on THIS show, pal"
