I'd rather see Jordin and LaKisha go home before Blake does.

I wonder if Chris and Phil's fan bases will work to keep him in?

ABBA week next week aside, it looks like it'll be interesting.

And I can't wait to see who sings Fernando.

There was something in the air that night...
The stars were bright...
Fernando...

I remember Chris Daughtry saying that not winning American Idol was the best thing that could have happened to him. He seems to be doing well.

I thought it was a dance theme with Barry Gibb as "guest lecturer"? I'd actually prefer ABBA week!

My bad if it isn't. I didn't even get to watch the Results Show.

Someone on another MB I read mentioned it was ABBA week...but now that you mention Barry as their mentor, I don't know...?

ETA: She's since recanted her statement about ABBA. What a shame. I was looking forward to that too.

I agree... his debut album easily outsold Taylor & Kathryn's.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't think it really matters who wins anymore... some of the non-winners have gone on to beat record sales of the "winners" anyway.

The winner will be LaKisha or Melinda. It's a black woman's turn. Everytime I explain this to people they are like "ahh whatever"... but really I believe it's set up.

Kelly- white woman
Ruben- black man
Fantasia- black woman
Carrie- white woman
Taylor- white man

(I think I have those out of order and am missing someone)

[jitterbug13]

I don't think race matters in winning AI. It will be someone who is NOT from the South (if you consider Texas and OK to be a part of the South).

Kelly: Austin
Ruben and Taylor: AL
Fantaisa: NC
Carrie: OK

And considering Kathrine was the first member of the final two that was not from the South, I think that the runner up won't be from the South either.

This proves my point (about North Carolina and Alabama).

But what about a mixed race woman like Jordin? It's really time for that...and guess the poor Asians and Latinos will never have a chance...

Lol I thought Jordin was Latina!

Have they ever had Asians become final members besides the guy that, I think, was first kicked off? William Hung doesn't count.

What about the Season 3 finalist? Deana DeGarmo (sp?)
Was she Latin?

I think Diana DeGarmo is italian, not latina. Maybe RJ Helton from season one is latino...?

It's a shame that Mario Vasquez quit before the final twelve a few years ago. He was an early favorite.
AJ Tablado this year was also good...but unfortunately cut before the top 12. What a shame!

Tonight was ehh at best. Jordin sounded GREAT on the first song - the 2nd one, not so much. I liked Blake's second song -- funny that Randy said the beat box gets old. When Blake wasn't doing it, Randy kept saying "bring it back" - whatever... Melinda was good on both, but she is much better than "good" so I was a bit disappointed. LaKisha... well, she almost had me into it on the 2nd song, but then she had to go and screw it up by shouting at everybody during the last chorus. I really hope that she goes home.

Anybody else ONLY watch the last 5 min of the results show? They were talking about this on the radio (except they were talking about Dancing with the Stars) - the guy said that he only watched the last 5 min because the rest was just filler. The girl said he was crazy and that EVERYONE watches the whole results show. I can't believe people would sit through all that, except if your favorite singer was performing or something. I prefer the last 5 minutes

Random, but I thought Kelly was from Mansfield (which is around Arlington, TX).. for some reason I remember the news making a big deal about when the family home went up for sale (since obviously nothing else newsworthy was going on at the time )

It doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, but I was just throwing it out there.

i hope Blake goes tonight.. he is the weakest vocalist left... Phil was better than this dude
