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.
