Bottom three are Phil, Haley and Chris Sligh. One more week of seeing what Sanjaya does with his hair.
Gwen Steffani performed tonight. Frankly, I don't get it.
Phil is safe and Chris is going home.

American Idol- That was pretty good.
I like this part of the competition for two reasons. The first is that we are getting to know these people a bit so it is easier to grow attached to one or another personality. The other is that, for the most part they have all stepped up their game and the singing is pretty good.
The downside to that is that someone who you have started to grow attached to who, for the most part, sings pretty good will get sent home.
However, the bottom three, based on the judges comments, deserve to be there: Sanjaya, of course, Chris Sligh and Haley.
I want to start by saying what no one else will. Sanjaya is improving a little bit each week. He remains out of his league but he is trying very hard. The hair tonight made him an absolute freakshow. If he survives another week try listening to him with your eyes closed- it really helps.
Chris Sligh deserves to go home. That was the laziest performance this show has seen for a long time. The judges were hardest on him tonight, of all contestants. But if he goes home everyone will talk about what a surprise it is.
Haley could go too. Her vocals were not impressive, the judges were rather non-commital and the middle of the pack placement makes her vulnerable.
It may surprise folks, especially the judges, but I thought Jordin was just awful tonight.
Kudos to Chris, I think he was most improved from last week. Based on these performances I would be glad to see Lakisha, Melinda, Blake and Chris (but you could substitute Phil for Blake) in the top four. However, since Phil and Chris have both made one appearance in the bottom three, they are in trouble.
My pick to go home- based solely on this week's performances would be Chris Sligh. The shocker that would not surprise me is Jordin. This might be the week that people have mercy on Sanjaya and cut him loose.

Sanjaya safe this week !!!
We will never know if he was bottom three material. Chris R's fans sat this one out last night and it placed him in the bottom two. Stephanie- by all accounts should go home. then they cut to commercial.
Lulu sings- "To Sir with Love" and it is not as good as Peter Noone was.
Another quick commercial break and back to announce the loser---
STEPHANIE goes home- no surprise there really.

Idol update -vote who should leave !!!
Okay, this site gives folks the opportunity to vote for who you would send home. I recommend that you take a look at it. The results seem to be sealing the fate of everyone except Sanjaya who has managed to beat the curve each and every week.
The good news for Sanjaya is that his numbers have improved by almost 20%
Anyone else who tracks more than 5% is really in trouble. That puts Phil, Stephanie and Gina in real trouble also.
My pick would still be Gina to leave but, as I said last night, Phil is in real trouble. No one (other than Sanjaya) has survived a score so low.
I want to say a word about Blake's clothes- What the Hell?- He looks like a homeless guy trying to stay warm and look sexy at the same time. Perhaps, since he likes mugging for the camera and being a Timberlake wanna-be he should try a version of "I'm Bringin' Homeless Back."
The 'layered' look is one thing, but the dude was wearing a pink polo with a white v neck sweater under a brown corduroy sport coat with elbow patches. All of that to top off the ugliest pair of brown plaid pants I have ever seen.
If anyone is too attached to Stephanie, Gina, Phil or Sanjaya tonight might be a hard show to watch.

American Idol Shines
This was a fun night and a good example of what this show can be about. For the most part every performer did very well. The bottom three, based solely on the comments of the judges were, Stephanie and Gina with basically all negative comments, and a huge pack of guys with mixed reviews- Probably Sanjaya but he was stronger than he has been, but Chris Sligh and Phil both were not great. I think Phil is still in trouble.
My bottom three would be Chris Sligh, Gina and Sanjaya. I would send Gina packing this week. I was repulsed by her performance.

Bottom Three!!!
Brandon is no surprise. Phil is a bit surprising but not terribly so. Sanjaya or Haley will be the third- They are both so deserving. Who will it be?
Diana Ross showed the Final 12 what she meant when she told them all to sing with ENERGY !!!
And it is... Sanjaya !!! Phil is safe- good. And going home is... Brandon. Too Bad for him, but I can't say he didn't deserve it.
What must Sanjaya do to get voted off- perhaps club Ryan Seacrest with a lead pipe?

One would think this is bad news for Sanjaya. I beg to differ. For the past three weeks Sanjaya has been at 80% on this poll each week yet he manages to survive. No one has else has survived a rating as high as 11% (Sundance got booted with 5.9% last week). Add to that that Brandon forgot his words and Sanjaya, as bad as he was, was actually better than the week before and I think it looks very bad indeed for Brandon. The other one that would appear vulnerable is Haley, who I wanted to see go after last week. She also forgot her words. We shall soon see.

Diana Ross Night on Idol was Boring!!!
Bottom three is tough to call- I will go with Sanjaya, Stephanie and Brandon. But actually, it is anyone's guess at this point. There was more bad than good about tonight's show. If Lakisha, Melinda, Blake or Chris R goes home it would be a mistake. All the others were forgetable.

Okay this is fun!!!
The people at this link are having some fun with American Idol. They haven't been too successful but they are worth a weekly read. Their target as things move forward is Sanjaya. Check it out.
I received some flack from someone who thinks I was wrong to pick Sanjaya over Sundance. I don't think I did that.
I said I thought both should go home based on their performances. I also said that If one had to stay that I could live another week with Sanjaya. The difference is that, while both are so clearly out of their league, Sanjaya knows he is out of his league. If you were paying attention when he was told he would return next week he was absolutely mortified.
So what advice would I give this poor kid. HAVE FUN because it won't last. Choose songs that exploit the teenie bopper image- boy band stuff, teen idol songs, etc. Will from last season (the Bobby Brady guy) would have lasted at least another week if he would have catered to his audience. He could sing "Ben", the theme from the rat movie, or anything Donny Osmond. He could sing that annoying Christopher Cross song "Sailing" that was a minor hit for 'NSYNC.
In reality, his next performance will likely be his last so he should kick it up and do something that is completely fun for him.
