True DAT!

I actually thought her outfit was cute. but that's just me. Fergie is a crackwhore. she needs to act her age a little more.

I know. I heard a joke that in 2 years Sanjaya will have his own show on Disney with a big recording career while Blake poses for Falcon videos as a bottom.

This show is being so self-important with the "Idol Gives Back" thing. Oh, who am I kidding....they're always self-important (And I always watch.)

I missed Melinda and Timberfake, but Timberfake's clip during the recap sounded awful. I wasn't overly impressed with anyone tonight (perhaps Melinda had I seen her). The judges overpraised Jordin's performance. She screeched her way through that song.

The judges have so turned on LaKisha....
They are so giving Jordin their blessing.

I think everyone can agree that not everyone can have good taste. Now put 'good taste' into the hands of millions of Americans and you're probably going to get a ****ty Idol winner.

Last night was truly pathetic. What a tedious show focused on Idol Giving Back. Much more of a Idol gives sponshorship a whole new meaning. How self sanctimonious can you get. Yikes. Poor Simon crying about how horrible it is in Africa. He really needs to get out more. I've known about the plight of the poor since I was 7 and not just in Africa. So Idol pulled at your heartstrings and urged you to vote for 4 hours. I can barely vote for 2 minutes, let alone 4 hours. Besides Idol wasn't footing the bill, but another corporate company.

With all this in mind, we just new we would be presented with one ballad after another. Well almost.

Chris R starts off singing a up tempo love song, off key and all over the place. Looking even more inbred and singing even worse. All I could think was where is Sanjaya? Sanjaya left last week so I had to endure yet another lousy performance from Chris. He needs to go.

Now the ballads begin. Melinda was good, very good. I realized last night that she does have a neck!

Blake is no Lennon, but he did have conviction and tried to make it his own. Which for the most part he did, but I wondered...where are his lips? He doesn't have any. Randy gave his idiotic comment about wanting more. WTF? Did he want beatbox? The song is not meant to be fast or have a useless crescendo of musical glory notes to make you think they're a good singer. Randy go home and hire a stylist. Your shirts are lame.

LaKisha looked perty. She may have picked a Fantasia song, but hell, I never heard it and will never hear it again. I did get goosebumps as I do with LaKisha. Not sure why the judges have been so mean to her recently other than to try to get America to agree and send her home. I hope it backfires.

Bat Boy delivers another frightening performance. He is just eerie. But then I think I'm starting to like it. But his speech before his song should garner him those sympathy votes. Good work, Bat Boy/Nosferatu.

And lastly Jordin. She sounded horrible. She frogged her voice early on and it was crap for the rest of the song. My ears felt like they were gong to bleed as she wailed towards the end. Ouch! Stop! It hurts! It hurts! Of course the Judges creamed their pants. They even mentioned that song could be a hit song. Huh? WTF? What Top 10 chart have you been listening to?

I really don't know why I do this to myself. I need to stop watching a show that appeals to the lowest common denominator. For the entire show last night, I really missed Sanjaya. He made the show so likeable. Now there is just a big void.

I'll be passing on the 2 hour results show. It will be pure hell and schmaltzy. Does anyone really need to hear Celine Dion singing with Elvis? Not such a big surprise, is it now AI?

^ I agree with much of what you posted, especially the part about Idol Gives Back. I could barely stop myself from rolling my eyes every 3 minutes. Simon had no idea there were hungry people just minutes from where he lives? Good God.

Lakesha was off, IMO, esp. at the beginning. Timing, key, everything. She was OK for the rest, but I felt nothing. That song does suck, btw. But at least with Fantasia I felt like she meant what she was singing it.

I loved Jordin last night, I didn't find her screechy at all. I sped throught Phil (I love you Tivo! ) but he did OK from what I bothered to watch. Melinda was fantastic, no surprise there - but I hated the dress again. And a woman without a neck should not be wearing choker necklaces. Chris sucked, enough with the vocal inflections every 5 milliseconds for f*ck's sake. Blake was good - but I fear some may find it boring.

I hope Chris is out tonight, but I worry about Lakesha & Blake. When I called last night, I had some difficulty getting through for Melinda & Jordin, but that was it.

Sabres game's on tonight, so I'll be setting the Tivo again for Idol. At least I'll be able to skip past the crappy parts, lol.

^^ According to DialIdol, Chris is going home, with LaKisha as the other in the bottom two. Last season, their predictions toward the end of the season were pretty much on target.

I'm such a sap because I totally bought into the whole thing. The Simon in the U.S. thing was ridiculous, but the Africa segments kind of moved me. I can believe that going to Africa, even with the knowledge of their plight, would overwhelm me.

I really like Jordan- she has actually made me a bit teary twice (not that you'd notice by looking at me, it's more of an inward tear). I think I'm just teary in general lately because I was actually *crying* at the end of House last night.
