American Idol- final round

Round one went to Blake- even though he did this Bon Jovi Number before it really showcases why he is in this competition.

In round two Jordin reprised "Broken Wing." Blake did a relaxed, 'She Will be Loved' by Maroon Five. Blake did what he needed to do in this round. He showed that he can relax and just sing. Jordin's vocal is definitely better in round two. Crowd reactions went to Blake, in my opinion.

So we go to round three- the dreaded original song round- with one round each.

The song is called "This is My Now." Yuck! it sounds, more than a bit, like "Do I Make You Proud?" In a straight up vocal performance it is going to be tough for Blake to beat Jordin. He is credible. The crowd really likes him. The judges all three called it right in that this song is not Blake's style. Simon basically instructed people to judge Blake on the first two performances.

This song was written with someone like Jordin in mind. She nailed it. She is, without a doubt, a better vocalist. If I have to hear this song on the radio I want to hear her version.

So who will win? Jordin deserves it all, but we shall see.

It's down to Blake and Jordin for te Final on American Idol

As one reader noted- it is really hard to care this year. I guess I am in the camp that will find the finale more exciting with Blake in it. Jordin and Melinda have styles that are just plain too similar. That having been said. I find it sad that Melinda was the one to go. Her stint on Idol has certainly been the most consistent in all six years of this show. I have no doubt she will be a huge success.

On another note. Life has been very busy lately so I have not been too dilligent about keeping this site up. I hope that will change very soon.

American Idol- It is really hard to care this year.

Lakisha is going home which will make the finale a bit less homogenous. At this point I quess I would like to see Jordin win. The most interesting finale would be between Jordin and Blake but I can't say as I will go out of my way for this one.

American Idol- To BeeGee or not to BeeGee

Not a great night. Melinda was fine. Jordin made great song choices for both selections> Lakisha was very week and Blake wasn't great. Looks, at this point like a Jordin/Melinda finale. For Blake and Lakisha it is really a matter of who goes first. I would guess Lakisha to go home next.

American idol sends Phil and Chris packing--

so much for thinking that 'nasally' is a singing style. Phil deserved to go. Chris was better last week than this week and I don't think it helped him that the totals for two weeks were added together.

I hate this part of the competition when the contestants seem to forget that this is a competition. In order for them to win the others all have to go. Blake was apparently more upset than Chris by tonight's results. Poor guy was actually crying.

Now we are down to four, Melinda, Lakisha, Jordin and Blake. No surprises there at all.

Idol Rocks with Bon Jovi- Sort of

Jordin was flat throughout. Phil was just plain not great. I liked what Blake did tonight. But the problem with combining votes from last week makes this a very tough call to make. I would not be surprised to see Phil and Blake go home. But it will probably be a male and a female.
