First off, the judges were way too nice last night. It seemed as if they had all sneaked some pills from Paula's stash! I mean, they thought Sanjaya was good?! Obviously they didn't hear what I heard.
Here is this week's recap:
Haley: She's the female Sanjaya at this point; meaning she is the worst female singer, yet for some reason keeps coming back week after week.
Chris R: The song and arrangement were good for him this week and resulted in, as Randy said, his best performance so far.
Stephanie: She looked hot in those black boots, but she's done better performance-wise. Steph has coasted the last few weeks and needs to get back to her powerhouse center.
Blake: This boy never ceases to amaze me. He's got the personality and pipes of a real up-and-coming pop star. Of the guys he is far and away the one to beat. His performance of the Zombies' "Time of the Season" was very sexy ("who's your daddy") and again proved that he has the voice to go along with his beat-boxing.
LaKisha: Ok, "Kiki" proved that she possesses the "diva factor" by totally ignoring Lulu's strong recommendation that she sing "You Are My World," and instead singing "Diamonds Are Forever." The result was a performance that was just ok. Nothing special, nothing awful.
Phil: I admire him for getting this far in the competition, but I can't help but think he's done all he can do and is approaching his end on the show.
Jordin: I totally disagreed with the judges on this one...this was not a strong performance. She didn't really put her heart into a song as big as "I, Who Have Nothing."
Sanjaya: Ugh. Are you kidding me!? I've been battling yet another chest/cold/sinus thing this week and Tiki Tiki Tembo trots out and hacks a classic Kinks tune to death, the result being my head wanting to explode. The judges gave this no-talent kudos (again, I think they all did a hit of ecstasy or something before the show...for that's the only explanation for heaping praise on this kid). And was there really some sorry-ass tubby crying in the audience?! I see stalker charges in that poor girl's criminal-filled future. (But hey...at least we now know who is voting for "Sangina"...ugly fat girls with braces who have are obviously going to grow up with crush after crush on gay boy after gay boy.
Gina: She tried to rock out but, as Simon said, her vocals sucked big time. "D" for singing but a "B" for effort.
Chris S: Like Phil, I think this guy has gone about as far as he can. His performance proved that he has limited vocal range and last night's version of "She's Not There" was the perfect example of sports-bar karaoke singing.
Melinda: She told Lulu that this week's "British Invasion" theme put her out of her comfort zone. Then she went out on that stage and once again blew the other contestants away. By far the best vocal of the night. Let there be no doubt, this woman is the ultimate professional. When this season of "Idol" is over watch Melinda Doolittle's career explode!
