American Idol: Discussion Thread

I think Blake will for sure be in the Final 2 along with either Jordin/Melinda.

[Cheap21]

I beleive she is the same as me at 23 but I find that so hard to believe bc she comes across alot older

[DaysFanJean]

Melinda is 29. She appears older, but looking at her face closely, it's easy (at least for me) to see that she is not beyond 30 yet. I think that Taylor Hicks looked much older than her (even to me LOL). 29 is the age limit this year, but I read that it may be elevated for next season.

It's really hard to believe that Jordin is only 17. She is a natural wonder in my opinion. Her voice is fantastic and her control of it is wonderful. She does come across very young in her delivery though, the way she dresses and hops and skips durinig the music. I hope she has some coaching to help her develop a smoother presentation.

I think LaKisha may be the surprise early exit, but if not, the final four are lining up for me as Melinda, Jordin, Blake and LaKisha. Also, I think Sanjaya now moves into fifth place unless LaKisha goes and that could move him into fourth.

I love Blake, but it's hard to say his vocals are over Melinda, but presentation wise and delivery wise, he could be second to Melinda since I do not see Jordin taking the first place this year.

Subject to change as the shows progress of course LOL.

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

All I know is that Sanjaya must go!!

[tina m]

Sanjaya is ruining the show. And I have a feeling he'll be in the finals.

[DaysFanJean]

Personally, I think he is as cute as they come, but I doubt he will get any higher than fourth if that high. Fourth is a decent place to end, even fifth is.

I just read in my newest TV Guide that Haley is getting married in January in San Antonio to her fiance. Simon, Melinda, Gina and Jordin will be there. Sounds huge with a 350 guest list. More publicity coming most likely.

I was just reading an interesting article from theonlinewire.com about betting odds on eliminations of the idols. They missed last week with Haley's leaving. LaKisha was the one most favored to go (my note as was Dial Idol and AOL), so Haley was a shocker to them. Phil is expected to go however, Chris, LaKisha and sob Jordin are also on the expected to go list. I'll check back on Wednesday morning to see how the odds have changed. I'd really hate for Jordin to go. She is in my top three.

Phil actually ROCKED the house tonight!

Wow...this is DEFINITELY his genre. I hope he sticks around til next week. He earned it tonight.

[Ryan]

Dude..... that was really bad.....

Go away Sangina....

[Ryan]

I LOVE Debbie Allen!

She was laughing her ass off at Sanjaya.

And I love Simon too. "Who rattled your cage?"

"Go on..move..to the left, to the left."

[Sweet_VeeVee24]

I know that these folks KNOW that they are voting to keep the person that they are going to be buying a record of.... Simon said that Sanjaya is worse...When was he better?

[KMan101]

Ryan needs to keep his mouth shut.

[Days4Life]

Phil was good! And Jordin--she's my American Idol. Love her!

Sanjaya, well, Simon said it best. Glad he was brutally honest with his comments tonight as this joke has gone on long enough.

[Rhiannon]

Phil did a really good job, he actually showed some personality......

I'll talk about that Sanjaya, it sucked.........*BARF*

He just butchered a song I really like.......

[Shawn]

God Sanjaya's ego just got deflated.

I HATE HIM.

Simon was totally right.

And when you have legends like Debbie Allen hysterically laughing in agreement, life is good.
