I think Melinda or LaKisha should try Aretha Franklin's cover of the Stones' Jumpin' Jack Flash. The one who can nail the last 20 seconds of her version should be the next AI.

Jordin Sparks for the WIN!

I've only watched one full episode of this show in the entire time that it's been on.. 60's night a week or two or whenever ago it was. I've seen clips from other seasons, etc.. it just really isn't my interest.

I do have to say, though, that I think it sucks that these websites are voting for Sanjaya just to be douchebags about the show. To a certain extent, I think it's entertaining because the show really is, basically, a farce. But then, to think that the winner gets money, and it is a show about singing.. should he go beyond singers like Jordan and Lakeesha (I hope that's her name, I'm sorry).. that's not good, because they obviously have what it takes to make it and have just needed a chance to shine.. they get it, and then it's robbed because some people don't like a show and can't just turn the channel without bitching about it and ruining it for others.

My parents enjoy this show so much. It's really frustated my mom for the last several weeks that Sanjaya is still on. After watching the others perform so well, it's really just kind of pitiful to watch him not be able to match up what-so-ever. Like a puppet. I would be so embarassed to know that I only made it that far because some people don't like Simon and some just don't like the show, period.

Oh, and Melinda.. Doolittle? She was awesome on 60's night... what a voice!

Sorry for my delay in reporting last weeks Idol commentary. I've been super busy having my people get a hold of Sanjaya. My friends and I want to have him over one night to play with his hair. Go Sanjaya, you really make Idol so fun.

Not sure what planet you're on, but here in America it's called Freedom of Speech.


Now onto some notes. Melinda was wonderful and imagine a singer who can actually really sing win on this show. Amazing. Of course, even though the moron Simon whines "it's a singing competition," had to say he hated her clothes. Again, nice mixed message. But we all know what it's really all about.

I'm glad Chris S finally was sent home. He tries so hard to be cool that he ends up looking uncomfortable and constipated on stage. Bye!

So next week I sure would like to see Bat Boy go home. Haley too, but she has great legs, so another week of her won't kill me. Besides the mute button is my best friend when she sings.

Well, it's happened before. Kelly Clarkson can really sing. Fantasia too, though she might not be everyone's cup of tea. I don't have a problem with the idea that in addition to being able to sing, the winner should also have charisma, look great, feel modern, and be at ease onstage and in front of the camera. It's a whole package thing--but of course being able to sing has to be the main component of that package.

[Sorceress]

ps: Carrie Underwood can sing too, though her style isn't my favorite. Reuben and Taylor can sing, but they don't have the whole package, IMO. That's why they haven't been as successful as Kelly, Carrie, and to a lesser degree, Fantasia. But hey, you can go see Fantasia on Broadway to judge for yourself.

Haley is not given enough credit. She has a nice tone to her voice and she has good control. Let’s face it, she doesn’t have the big voice that Melinda or Lakisha has but that doesn’t matter, it’s about the overall performance and the delivery. She has gotten better with each performance. The week she messed up the words a bit, “Missing You.” If you watch that again, you will see that she never stopped singing, she forged ahead like a professional and kept singing till she found her place. If you would have blinked you wouldn’t have even known she fumbled the words. The judges were way off the mark when they criticized her last week, “True Colors.” It was just about flawless. She never over sang the song, she was on the mark.

^ I have to disagree about True Colors. Sure, she did a good job. But I felt nothing. That song is so special, has so much meaning to so many people. And there was no emotion in her performance. Every time I hear her, she reminds me of a theme park performer.


Tony Bennett tonight - I assume they'll do "standards" and not just his tunes?
