Make it 80's music (or hair bands - that would be hilariously bad, but entertaining) instead of Bon Jovi only. Make it current Top 40, or "this week on the charts back in such&such a year." Argh.

I third that. The producers must have thought that having bigger stars as "mentors" meant a better show--and probably they lured these mentors by appealing to their giagantic egos. They probably made some licensing deal too--in exchange for publicity, Idol wouldn't have to pay (at as much or at all) to use the songs. There are so many much better songs I'd love to hear these people singing!

It's all promotion and marketing. I think almost every mentor artist promoted a new album or something. If not, well more awareness.

I read somewhere that the clips they show at the end with the phone numbers are actually from the dress rehearsal...

And I agree, Lakisha will probably go tonight....

That is true...the thing at the end, when they show recaps, is from the dress rehearsal. They say it it because they do not have time to put together the montage and edit, after the live performances, before the show ends. I guess it would be kind of hard considering the last performer goes, they show the recaps with the numbers, and the show is over. The performer does the same exact thing, so I guess it is not dishonest. It's just they sound slightly more refreshed during the DR. I remember one time last season, Bo was throwing his mic around in the recap montage and I had just watched him perform, where he tossed his mic the OTHER way. I was a bit confused. That is when I read that they put all the clips together from the dress rehearsal.

LaKeisha sucks, Blake is ok, Jordin...meh ......I still am bothered by Melinda's lack of a neck.... but, the girl can sing.

ba bye LaKesha (dead behind the eyes)....lol.

[JazmenFlowers]

in all honesty, I prefer LaKisha's voice over everyone's. there's just something about it that I like. it's got a great fluidity and it's fragile and strong at the same time...similar to Martha Wash.
