Here are DialIdols final results, they should be a little better at predicting now that were down to the Top 12

Melinda Doolittle - 14.85

Sanjaya Malakar - 10.74

Jordin Sparks - 8.15

Thanks, Rick. Looks good to me.

Sanjaya at #3...WTF?

He sucked last night!~!!!!

[DaysFanJean]

Sanjaya has Vote for the Worst and SIRUS, Howard Stern behind him. I just wish that American Idol would boot those block votes like they claim they will and have the power to do so. Actually, I think he is cute as all get outs and his voice is not that bad, but he definitely needs a lot of help in how to project himself.

IA Jean, Hayley actually reminded me of Katherine McPhee too. IA with Simon, I pretty much always agree with Simon, but she finally made herself seem distinctive and like a "star". It was sad that she forgot her words but she obviously wasn't the only one! I thought Hayley was one of the best girls, (though that list is long) and I applaud her for coming out and making herself noticable.

I kinda liked Blake's version of that song, I don't see the arrogance, only because I think he is very talented and that kinda stands out with these guys since not a lot are. Chris R was good but I wouldn't call it his or the guy's best. Sanjaya sucks, it's like he is not putting half of an effort.

I LOOOVE Jordin. While I agree that the tops are Melinda and Lakisha, Jordin should be there too and maybe further down the line she can cause an upset.

Its still Blake and Melinda for me.

Chris butchered "Endless Love" ... What was with that U2/Coldplay-eqsue music?

I think the difference between Chris and Blake is that Chris made a love ballad into some Coldplay song, while Blake took an already upbeat/up-tempo song and basically did a dance remix, which works.

I actually thought Jordin sounded like Katharine. That kind of wierd vibrato, bordering on screaming voice?

Stephanie and Lakisha are good, but will never win Idol. Hayley is someone who you can easily forget. Brandon was a mess, Sanjaya was... Sanjaya Chris Rich was okay, but his voice is one that can get really annoying if you listen it for more than two songs at a time.

Chris R. SUCKS.

Blake disappointed me tonight.

LaKisha was overhyped tonight, BUT proved me wrong.

Melinda was good, but bad song choice.

[alwaysAMC]

I think I must be the only one who really liked Blake's song. I loved it actually.

I like Chris - BUT he seems so stiff and uncomfortable when he performs. I hope he gets over that, bc I like him.

Melinda, LaKisha, and Jordin were all great. Best of the night.

Sanjaya, Brandon, and Chris S. were the worst tonight - but I want to see either Brandon, Hayley, or Sanjaya to go.

I still really like Gina too.

[DruRocks]

Oooohhh I could SMACK that Sligh Chris for his 'holier than thou' atitude. I.hate.him.

[DruRocks]

DIANA ROSS IS A DIVA Gotta love the entrance and sub-par singing lol

But Diana/Melinda was cute. That 'Float on' commercial was not.

[DruRocks]

Brandon was sexy, but lacked personality and energy, plus his performance yesterday was sub-par, so no big loss really. Ugh to Chris R., I hope he goes soon. I can't stand his Justin Timerblake wannabe style, and Kevin Federline looks.

[DaysnPassionsFan]

I agree. He thinks he's sooo funny and witty but he comes off as an arrogant jerk.

Brandon was horrible last night, so oh well. I guess we can be happy that Sanjaya was in the bottom 2!

[Daphne]

Okay, I have GOT to stop checking out Dialidol I knew the results weren't 100%, but I still believed there was a chance Brandon was safe

Oh well. Brandon wasn't great, but he wasn't horrid either. He was very mediocre. No big loss. I have a feeling we are really stuck with Sanjaya at least until the Top 8.

Anyone know what the theme is next week? I hope it's a good one. I didn't really care for Diana Ross night. She is a true Legend but the Supremes were never my favorite Motown act.

[alwaysAMC]

No surprise. Glad he's gone - he wasn't a favorite of mine at all - and he was boring.
