After coming second top of the polls two weeks ago, last week Gina Glocksen had a shocker and choked to put herself on the chopping block last week and home she went.
Tonight,
Jennifer Lopez is coaching our contestants through this weeks Latin Theme. I'll be interested to see how Lakisha Jones does this week. She's been on a downward spiral for a while now and having to perform Latin certainly isn't on her side. Perhaps she'll be able to prove me wrong and knock it out of the park.
I might be a bit delayed in getting the details up this week so feel free to post your thoughts below.
Contestant: Melinda Doolittle
Song Choice:
Sway
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5701
Not the best from Melinda this week. Obviously not her genre. And she's starting to catch Lakisha's boring bug of doing the same thing every week.

Contestant: Lakisha Jones
Song Choice:
Conga
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5702
I'm sorry, but I just can't handle this. While it's better than some of her other weeks, this just doesn't work for her.
Contestant: Chris Richardson
Song Choice:
Smooth
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5703
This song sounds a little too low for Chris this week. Very much a song suited to Chris but it wasn't that flash for me.
Contestant: Haley Scarnato
Song Choice:
Turn the Beat Around
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5704
Legs is back. That wasn't too bad from Haley tonight. Not sure it will be enough to save her from the bottom three though.
Contestant: Phil Stacey
Song Choice:
Maria Maria
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5705
Surely this is Phil Stacey's week to go home. That was pretty awful.
Contestant: Jordin Sparks
Song Choice:
Rhythm Is Gonna Get You
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5706
Very much Jordin's home. I actually liked her this week.
Contestant: Blake Lewis
Song Choice:
I Need to Know
Voting Numbers: 1 866 436 5707
Solid vocal performance from Blake but a little boring for me. I would have thought that this week would have been a fantastic opportunity to really show off.
Contestant: Sanjaya Malakar
Song Choice:
Bésame Mucho
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5708
Wow! That was actually pretty good from Mr Malakar this week.
An interesting week in Idol. Who will be going home? Will our poll be right?
Who was your favourite? What did you think of tonight's show? Make sure you vote in our poll.
It's not easy to sing latin
It's not easy to sing latin songs. I know this very well coz I'm a latin lover. So, based on last night performance everybody deserves a credit especially Blake. If I had to choose the bottom three, they would be Phil, Haley, Chris although I always want Sanjaya to go home and I would be very happy to see him got eliminated (I hate myself for being so mean like this). What do you think???
Go Blake! Way to step it up
Go Blake! Way to step it up and prove you belong! Having a tough time picking the bottom 3-- Phil, Haley & Chris or Phil, Haley & Lakisha. Does Lakisha have enough fan base to stay out of the bottom 3? Wonder what your thoughts are....
Simon is right-Melinda and
Simon is right-Melinda and Lakisha need to do something new. They are getting boring. The more I watch the more I think Blake may actually pull this off. He is creative, unique, and shows a new side every week. He may not belt it out like some of the others, but his overall musical talent is evident.
If everyone would stop
If everyone would stop hating on Sanjaya long enough to notice, he gets better and better each week. This is just a kid. Don't forget that he really blew us away in the auditions. The reason being: no one was bad mouthing him and lowering his confidence. I had faith that he would do good last night and he did. J-Lo even said that she really likes Sanjaya. Face it, her vocal skills aren't the best but she's a good performer. Everyone needs someone to believe in them.
Totally agree with
Totally agree with everything Big Man just said.
Is it just me though or does Sanjaya sound better in Spanish than in English?
Honestly without trying to be funny I seriously think he sounds tolerable in Spanish.
Wow, what a disappointing
Wow, what a disappointing show tonight. It's as if most everyone went out and partied til 4am. I agree with Simon that there was no progression this week save for Blake's "I Need To Know". Latin sensibilities are so much about attitude and delivery...it was nice to hear how Blake effectively "attacked" the words and turned out to be the only one IMO who really fully "got it". Chris was just lost. Why he picked a song where he stayed in his weaker lower register I'll never know, but "Smooth" was the kiss of death for him. Lakisha tried but lost more ground this week. Phil and Haley both turned in weak performances. Melinda was Melinda, but without coming up with some modern twist to her vocal stylings (and yes, appearance) she's gonna have a tough go of it in the race to the finals. And finally...is Sanjaya the Perry Como of the times..KIDDING!! - see ya
