Can't believe I missed Daughtry. S H I T!!! DAMMITT!!!!

How did you miss it?

First, Paula looked a HOT, HOT mess tonight. The hair... what is up with the hair?! And what the hell was Randy wearing? What an embarassment! LoL

I didn't like any of Blake's songs. He's good at owning the stage and getting reactions from the audience, but his beat boxing is the only thing that saves him. His singing vocals are sorely lacking. He doesn't have much range at all, and he doesn't even try to push himself to hit the tough notes. He always takes the safe route, vocally.

Meanwhile, can you believe that they gave Blake a "get out of jail free" card on completely destroying the final song just because it's not his "type" of song? How many times over the entire past season were people voted out due to not meshing vocally with the different genres tossed at them each week? Blake should be held to the same standards as all the rest of them, and the fact that he wasn't tells me that they're pandering to him... they're making excuses for him. Bottom line, he doesn't have the vocals or he would've been able to sing the song. He couldn't, and so he doesn't, which means he shouldn't win.

Jordin... oh, Jordin! I love her. The first song -- "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera -- was a little shaky. I was worried it would end up sounding horrible because it's a difficult to sing and nobody sounds as good as Christina Aguilera (or Mariah/Whitney/Celine), but it actually didn't sound bad! It wasn't spectacular, but it was far from terrible.

The second song -- "Broken Wing" by Martina McBride -- was sung beautifully. It sounded even better this time than it did when she sang it the first time during country week. The finale to that song was W-o-W! I agree with whichever judge said that it was even better than the original version, and that's saying quite alot since Martina McBride is, like, the best vocalist in country music.

Then came the last song. From the moment she began singing it, it was ten times better than Blake's version. The beginning was shaky, but even with that, it was better than Blake's vocal. Then when she hit the middle of the song, it was a home run. There was no mistake whatsoever who sang it better when she hit the stride of the song, and from there it just got better with the final few notes. She even managed to sound spectacular while crying! She completely blew Blake out of the water, IMO! Just as I knew she would...

Bottom line, as the judges said, this is a singing competition. It's funny to me when everyone says that Blake should win because he has stage presence (ie. he's sooo sexy), even though he has a lack of vocals. If the winner was to be based on just stage presence, they should also allow people to compete for dancing -- or better yet, allow professional magicians to participate!

At the end of the day, this is a singing competition, and Jordin has the vocals, whereas Blake does not. She threw sh!t down tonight! Blake couldn't hold a candle compared to her, and I think he knew it, especially during the last song. I think he had a look of desperation in his eyes, and I loved it! Jordin blew him out of the water!

TEAM JORDIN!

Haha...Jordin was not all that tonight. Like I said before she has performed better. Blake could still win Kenny...hehe

If Jordin wins, then GOODBYE AMERICAN IDOL.

Does that mean you won't even be posting in the Idol threads anymore?

If so, I'll miss you! I always like reading your Blake fandom, even though I completely disagree with it, LoL

Haha...Jordin was not all that tonight. Like I said before she has performed better. Blake could still win Kenny...hehe

Oh definitely, he could win. I wouldn't be surprised, since people seem to vote for him only because they want to get him into bed (why? I'm still questioning that). Should he win? No way.

How did you miss it?

Well, after Jordin was through and the judges (Simon & Randy) pimped the hell out of Jordin, I got disgusted and flipped the channel, having no inkling that Daughtry was gonna be on the show. [!@#$%^&*] LOL.

Exactly Ron!

Very likely Kenny. LOL, that's ok. We're both just passionate people I guess, lol.

Oh definitely, he could win. I wouldn't be surprised, since people seem to vote for him only because they want to get him into bed (why? I'm still questioning that). Should he win? No way.

Whatever. Not everyone who's a Blake fan want to get Blake in bed. Now some Jordin fans may want to get Jordin in bed. I sure think Randy does, lol.

My DVR screwed up too, Ryan .... grrr ... I actually like Chris now.

I wanted Kat to win last year too but I knew Taylor would.

Jordin will win American Idol, mark my words.

But whoever wins, I'll be happy. I like both Blake and Jordin, but Jordin's the better SINGER. Blake's more of an ENTERTAINER. So ... should be close.

I haven't posted in here all seasoin LoL and this is the only season i've watched fairly religiously.

If Jordin doesn't win... oy. I know there are a lot of anti-Jordin people, and I really don't get why. But I guess that's all person preference. Blake is plenty cute. He'll get votes for that alone. But he doesn't sell his singing half as well as he sells his good looks. I noticed particularly when the back-up singers came into the song, he totally backed off and used them as a crutch, where Jordin used them as support, while she hit it out of the park.

Maybe it's my theatre background, but I appreciate Jordin's style over Blake's, cute as he is. Of course, I've so over pop music for so long, so my opinions would probably be generally unpopular

TEAM JORDIN!

You and me both!

For some reason Jordin reminds me of Kimberly Locke. I have Kimberly's CD and love it. But really does it matter who wins? Taylor Hicks anyone?

According to Dialidol.com Blake is going home by a landslide

Silly!

It absolutely doesn't matter who wins, but honestly? At 17 years old, Jordin will be least phased from the Idol contract. In case people forget, it wasn't until Kelly's Idol time had ended that she started getting major success. That, and because Jordin such a damned good vocalist, is why I'm in her corner. I wanted Melinda, because she rocked my ass off. But she's gone and I'm glad, for the very reasons. She needs to do her own thing now, not two years from now, or something like that.

DAMN! I re-watched Idol twice already. My girl brought it HOME tonight!

- Her Xtina song was smokin'! Love that angry, fiery side of her. Reow!

- I hate country, and my lovely family members are all obsessed with Martina McBride whose music I despise. BUT DAYUM!!!!! Homegirl did awesome with that song. It was even better than the first time she sang it. (Which I think may be what Randy meant when he said the "original."

- Jordin and the last song? I won't even comment because it's clear she rocked that.

- Blake's first song really was a step down from the first time he sang it. The acoustics in the bigger theater must be off or something. I don't think the judges will love it as much when they watch it back. It sounded different to me...and funny. Both in a bad way.

- Blake's second song was OK. I mean very imitation. Pretty much just like the Marron 5 song.

- Blake's last song was HILARIOUS! I got a huge kick out of him trying to sing.

I think Blake will win, but I think it's clear who deserves it. My girl!

Blake has no lips. He looks just like my dad, who is also lip-less, LoL.

Anyway, I noticed that he let the backup singers carry him through the song, too. The boy has no vocal range, so when it comes to hitting the strong note, he doesn't even attempt it. Now, if he loses, I think he'll always regret not trying to really belt something out.

YES! For once, let's hope that Dial Idol is right!
