I loved Lakisha and I am sad to see her go but at this stage of the game you know all four will get contracts after the show is over. Then we will see who they are as true artist. It will be sink or swim when they do not have thirty million people watching them every week and can choose their own material. All that said Blake is the only one of the final four who has every week shown his true style. At this point I think Blake and Melinda should be the final two and from there does it really matter who wins. Face it, any of the final four will undoubtedly produce better recordings the Taylor Hicks... Taylor who?????/
