Yep, that's exactly my thinking, Lurk. So I based my picks this week on what would be most dramatic, yet not unbelievable. NO way on what I thought the real votes stood for. (I don't even know how to end that sentence without a proposition..LOL.. seriously asking someone that does know how to do it so I can post in future without looking like an ass)

Shocking Moments on 'Idol'
By Anna David

Then there was the moment where we learned that Blake has been using a computer program — Ableton Live — to come up with his funky beat boxing beats.

Don't get me wrong. I still love the guy (even though you will never catch me running around L.A.'s Farmer's Market calling myself a "Blaker's Girl"). It's just that when you consider the fact that you can get kicked off of "Project Runway" for having design books, it seems the slightest bit unfair that you are allowed to use a program to write music that has had everyone heralding you an original on "Idol."

LOL Ya'll are funny. I think actually, Jordin and Blake got the most amount of votes. They didn't SAY that it was the BOTTOM TWO, only that they were safe. Doesn't matter which order they say they are safe in, as long as they are safe. I think they just wanted to make it more suspenseful since Blake and LaKisha didn't have the best nights and were pegged by Simon as being in danger. FWIW

BTW - As I was watching them tonight I was thinking that while Melinda has a phenominal voice, she looks so much older as did LaKisha. I think the "Idol Market" not including us (LOL) is geared toward the younger audience and that's what makes Blake and Jordin more appealing. There's far more ways they can market those two than the two older ladies. At least..that is what I was thinkin'. heh heh

He has four grand-children: Nina and Angus (Stephen's children), Lucas John Crompton (Ashley's child) and Damien Michael Crompton (Michael's child).

I have to say this episode is the first one where I saw a relaxed and confident Lakisha. It is a pity we didnt get a glimpse of her great sense of humor and personality till her elimination day.

I think she could have made it to final two if we had seen more of that Lakisha.

Just, he's talked several times and quite openly about using the computer program. They all have access to arrangers so how is this different?

Blake is the only one left who is not a professional singer.

Jordin did sing with Michael W Smith and Alice Cooper.

Melinda sang back-up for Michael McDonald, Anointed, Mandisa, Aaron Neville, Jonny Lang, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Alabama (band), Julie Wilde, and CeCe Winans.

I like them all and will be happy with any of them winning. They all have a gift.

I need a favor.... a few weeks ago someone posted a picture of Blake with a "Save the Beatboxer, Save the World" sign. I have absolutely no idea which thread it was posted.

I would really appreciate it if whoever posted that picture would post it again. I would like to use it in my weekly Idol update bulletin at work!!!

I agree that last night's group song was horrible. I also agree that Barry used to be hot but now he needs to update his look. That long hair just doesn't work anymore!

I still don't care anymore.

I'm more excited waiting for the American Idol Rewind final results show this week. I hope Kelly wins!

I had no idea Barry Gibb was married for that long, I thought for sure he was sleeping with Barbara Striesand in the 80's.

At one time wasn't there a rule that only amatures could compete in AI? I really don't like the fact that there are people who already have worked professionally competing on the show.

This has been asked before... as long as they do not have a current recording contract, they are eligible to audition and compete.

I agree. I have really grown to like her! I see her as much more humble and sweet than my initial read of her which was a bit smug and not very warm.

I also love the heart she put into her last few performances, which I felt was missing from her early on (like she was giving us faux, stylized feeling).

I actually stopped voting for Blake because I thought that she (and Jordin) were just too deserving as well.

I seem to remember reading that Kelly Clarkson had almost been signed to a recording contract before Idol. She was close to being ineligible to particiapte it sounded like. But as the deal had not been completed, she was ok.

I think as the competition goes on the contestants get more relaxed. That's why they seem to loosen up and perform better. At the beginning you see the performers looking down at the judges during their performances to see their reactions. Later on, they stop doing that. I also think that when they know it's getting down to their turn to go, they put it all on the table and give their best.

That's why a lot of the farewell songs sound so good. Nothing more to worry about.
