Does anyone else see Blake having a future more as a producer than a performer? He is very creative but he just doesn't have much of a voice.

Sad to see LaKisha go but it was no surprise...

Yeah, it was absolutely no surprise. I was dissapointed with her. She was not really concerned with winning though. Well, now she can go through the massive amount of contracts that's on the table for her.

Okay, for real, these are my two cents for the week.

Now, that's something I never even considered. He'd probably be great at producing based on what he's done on the show so far.

I still say if the boy would just shut up and sing, he's not too bad.

I think that's all a matter of perspective.

Personally, I didn't feel LaKisha was a fantastic singer. I was one of those who felt all she does is scream and belt out into a microphone. Other people think she sings great.

There was a time I thought Blake was pretty alright, but that feeling is pretty much gone for me too. Some people are really into his beat-boxing or whatever it's called.

I agree that the last idol (Taylor) is a complete failure, but Carrie Underwood (who I think won before he did?) is selling a phenomenal amount of CDs.

I do think that AI has lost it's sparkle, but mainly because the talent pool recently seems to have been running dry and several people in the last couple of seasons got record deals anyway. If this is a competition is to 'win a recording contract' and 2 or 3 people in the top 5 got record contracts anyway, what's the whole point? Just my .02 though

I personally love Jordin. Her voice, her spirit, her look. And I think it's great that she is a woman of Faith. It's nice to see that in a young woman. Plus, I think her voice is amazing, and after all, it IS a singing competition.

Melinda is great, but not really a stand-out, and Blake, well, when he actually SINGS, I think he has a throaty quality that could make him a good singer, but great.

I say yea for Jordin! :)

I second your post! I'm voting for Jordin!:)

I stopped watching simply because none of the singers held my interest as performers. They just weren't entertaining enough for me to watch. I'll try again next season but who knows. AI doesn't have the same impact on me it used to have.

I think Blake will go next. Think about it... LaKisha's votes are certainly not going to go to him. Most likely they'll be split between Melinda and Jordin(with majority of those going to Melinda).

I agree that AI lost its lustre a while ago... maybe after AI4. The only seasons I have really enjoyed are 1, 2, and 4. I wonder how much longer it will go on?

I wonder that too.

I agree. It is all a matter of perspective. I guess that is the one thing that makes AI so interesting. Always wondering who the world is going to pick.

Any thoughts on last night? I thought it was one big Meh. It's like I don't really care, but I still watch it every week. :o

Melinda rocked. I think if this is it, Melinda and Blake deserve to move
on. I love Jordin but she didn't bring it the same as the other two. She
is in trouble! I can't wait to see who stays!

This season was a bust IMO.. but I do watch faithfully...lol

I think Melinda and Blake should be the Final 2. Jordin was ok but she never really vocally did it for me. that horrid breathing in the mic she does kills me. She needs a bit more time and also she needs a musical identity

the only performances that i really liked yesterday were blake's second song and melinda's last song.

I think it must sound a lot different there in the theater than it does over the tv. I am a Melinda fan but I thought her first song was horrible and the judges just went ape over it. I enjoyed Blake's second and third songs, but he just isn't a great vocalist - just an entertaining guy.
