Members Cheap21 Posted May 9, 2007 Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 I thought Blake was the weakest tonight but I hope he survives. I still want a Blake vs Melinda showdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PhoenixRising05 Posted May 9, 2007 Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 Tonight was horrible. Music like this should never be used as a theme this close to the finale. It's too difficult and it's very hit and miss. This was the worst theme and worst episode all season IMO. To me, this cemented a Jordin/Melinda finale. They did the most with their songs. Neither were flawless but Jordin's first song and Melinda's second song (particularly the second half like Simon said) said it all. Blake is horrible. The beatboxing is cute but GMAB. It's getting old and he is using it far too much and that last song was too flat and obscure IMO. Just poor song choices all around. Jordin picked the best songs and Melinda was one good and one bad. Lakisha was all over the place but not as bad as the judges said. Her first song was eccentric and just a mess but the second song was ok. It wasn't amazing but not horrible. Based on what I heard, I would eliminate Blake. He was horrendous but I have a feeling it will be Lakisha. We are rewarding vocalists and Blake shown tonight he is nothing more then a younger version of Taylor. He doesn't have the range or vocals and now he is with 3 women who have the vocals and he sticks out. Send him home. I want to see the three divas battle it out like we should've got in season 3. I do think Lakisha will go though. Terrible night overall, however. I also want to add that I do think they manipulate things with the so called "pimp" slot. The last slot is that and Jordin has now gotten it 3 times. Melinda got it twice and everyone else no more then once. Chris got it 3 times last year and the person in that slot usually does well. It's the last thing you remember and, while that could go bad if you suck, most of the time the person does well. I think the show takes that chance. Some other interesting notes is that the person who has gone first in the top 3 has usually gone home. It's weird. Things like this may be coincidence but I'm not so sure. Idol pimped Lakisha early then jumped on Melinda and now it's been Jordin and it seems like she is their girl. I think they are right but they make the pimping too obvious. Last yer, they inflated Chris's ego so much he thought he was invincible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted May 9, 2007 Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 I thought that Jordin was great, tonight. Her first performance was the best, but the second wasn't bad by any means. There were a few pitch problems in the second song, but compared to the others, she was still heads and tails above. I pretty much agree with what the judges said about Melinda tonight. She's a good singer, she has a sweet personality... but there wasn't anything she did that really stood out in comparison to her performances in previous weeks. She needs to do something surprising that really grabs everyone's attention -- something that's, perhaps, out of the ordinary and unexpected for her. LaKisha wasn't terrible tonight. Not great, but not terrible... don't have much to say. She was very "meh" for me, and has been for some time now. I think she's vulnerable. As for Blake? Ugh! He needs to go home, like, right now. He just has this aura of cockiness that surrounds him every night, and it's a huge turnoff. The fact that he feels like changing the arrangement and sound of every single song he sings tells me that he thinks he's better than the original composers. I don't need to see him trying to re-build the songs -- this isn't "Who's the next Timbaland?" This is American Idol. SING! We know you can beat-box and do the extra stuff, but it doesn't belong in EVERY. SINGLE. SONG. Stop beating us over the head with it! What else can he do? Anything? He's a one-trick pony who's too big for his own britches. Oh, and his mouth annoys me. At the end of the day, Jordin is the best vocalist. She has a voice that can belt, she has a gorgeous look, and she's young so her voice is just going to keep growing and developing from the superb point it's already at. I hope that she and Melinda are in the final two. I wanna give Melinda props for being consistent, but her voice isn't as powerful as Jordin's, thus giving Jordin the edge and the biggest amount of potential. She could be the next Mariah Carey. GO JORDIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted May 9, 2007 Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 Jordin was great tonight! She had two solid performances. The final 3 will be Jordin, Melinda, and Blake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted May 9, 2007 Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 Becase staight gs jst DON"T do that sot of thing. So, bt the'e on "Ameican Idol," the'e living in close qates, ... hmm... do the math, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaysFanJean Posted May 9, 2007 Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 It was indeed the worst episode of the season. I think that Jordin's first song was the best of the evening and that both of Blake's were the worst. So, guess who Dial Idol shows way ahead.........Blake of course. It's like (I think) JER said, he could probably stand there and slobber and still win. The bottom two at DI are Melinda and Lakisha. I do think Lakisha could go. She has been the most inconsistent and last night to me, she seemed to be the least trained or professional, too. I'm sad for her but going out fourth isn't too bad either.

Members alwaysAMC Posted May 9, 2007 Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 Last night was so.....well I had a hard time paying attention. Granted, I was with a group of friends, but we couldn't keep our eyes focused on the TV bc it was underwhelming. I predict we'll see Lakisha leave.

Members darraholic Posted May 9, 2007 Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 I wouldn't be surprised if Melinda gets the boot. Esp if Idol wants a Jordin or Blake win. Might as well keep a weaker Lakisha and boot the stronger Melinda. Plus 4th place is full of shocking boots (Tamyra, LaToya, Chris) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted May 9, 2007 Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 Buzz across the web is that the votes are in, and MELINDA is going home tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted May 9, 2007 Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 If she goes home, I will be pissed. Jordin is my fave so I will keep watching but that is ridiculous if that happens. We always get one of those and, at this point, the only shocks would be Melinda or Jordin going. If that happens, I would go for a Lakisha/Jordin finale only because I want to see vocals and not that crap Blake gets by with. I like him but at this stage we need to focus on vocals.
