Idol: March 6

Umm...I hate to sound like a broken record...but Sanjaya needs to go the hell home. He wowed the judges at his initial audition but since then has turned in nothing but timid, weak performances. It's obvious he can't handle the pressure. If he doesn't go home Thursday night then "Idol" is so rigged by outside forces that it will need to reassess how "America votes."

Overall, the guys sucked big time. In my opinion the judges have only themselves to blame. They picked this below average group at the early Hollywood stage of the game and left some potentially great singers behind. (Of course, last week's voters can be blamed as well. Sending A.J. home over Sanjaya was a huge mistake. Then again, we're talking about a country that sent George W. Bush back to the White House, so I shouldn't be surprised.)

The winner of the night? Once again, Blake Lewis. That white boy has rhythm! It wouldn't surprise me if he's the one guy left when the show gets to the final four.
