I know, but I always heard she was from Austin. :confused:

whatever.

peace out LaKisha... I think Blake is next.

Either way, she's a Texas gal!

Y'all, why is Blake wearing a tuxedo tee? He's still my favorite, but DUDE, REALLY?

Let's hope so. :rolleyes:

I dunno..

For some reason I see Jordin going before Blake does. Something tells me that America would rather keep him in the competition.

I think that Blake's going next, leaving Melinda and Jordin in the final 2. I think that Jordin's going to win. She's definitely the strongest singer out of the 3 of them.

I think Melinda has the best voice of any of the contestants but that Jordin has a better "Idol" type image overall.. age, appearance, attitude, etc. I think Blake will end up in the final 2 because the teeny bopper girls think he's cute.

Poor Blake. It was so hard to hear him singing. Destiny's Child was definitely drowning him out.

I just can't see what's so special about Jordin. Yes, she can sing, but it's just that. She doesn't have Melinda's oomph and Blake's ability to be unique. Based on the judges' comments this season, I really think that simply singing well doesn't necessarily = winning AI.

I LOVE BLAKE!

I don't like Jordin, mostly because she's super religious and pro-life and not afraid to show it. Not my cup of tea.

American Idol is officially over.. it started with Taylor Hicks...I can't see any platinum albums by Melinda or Jordin. Blake can have success but he has ZERO range and will be stuck in one sound and vocally he is weak...all style no substance.

I don't get Melinda's "oomph"? :confused: She just always seems like some passive mouse to me for some reason.

Did anyone else see the calling for bands? Are they going to do an AI for bands now or did I just read into that wrong?

Regarding Jordin's super-religious stuff, I guess I missed a few episodes this season (which I have) so I'm not sure what that is all about, but I don't really have a problem with someone being all religious. Personally I'm not very religious at all, but if you think about it, we had to deal with Jessica Simpsons "I believe true love waits" stuff for at least a couple years before she got married.

As much as I enjoy AI...I think you're right.

I agree...AI is over. It is really just a popularity contest. How in the world can someone say that Blake's voice is stronger than LaKisha's??? It has nothing to do with skill. The last couple of AI's were wack. And yes, the results show is blah...last 5 minutes for me too. Jordin is marketable. That's what this is about. She has the look and she's a model. Her voice is no where as strong as Melinda's. And Melinda has been consistent. All of her songs have been super strong. Jordin sings a lot of Celine Dion'ish songs, just like Haley did. Cabaret'ish, (as Simon would say). Jordin cannot belt a whole song. As passive as Melinda is, she may take this one. That meekness does rock my nerve, but she has the skill that AI SHOULD be looking for.


And YES!!!! It is a black woman's turn. Accept it.

And there are my 2 cents for the week.
