AMERICAN IDOL

When Sanjaya, Lakisha and Blake were standing up there on stage and Ryan asked the judges what they thought, Simon couldnt wipe the smile off his face lol knowing Sanjaya was finally history

this has got to be on of the worst performances of American Idol history.... I have no idea how he made it to the Top 24....

anybody remember this guy... he was from last season....

Bobby Bennett - Copacabana

OMG

i *had* forgotten him... thanks for bringing that image back to my mind... *coughs*

i agree... i dont know how on earth he made it past original auditions... much less hollywood

oh, and...

WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

sanjaya is gone!!!!!!

it was very interesting watching the reactions of the other contestants after the announcement and during his performance... very telling...

now it can be a real competition...

so, the order i think they will go home now:

phil

chris

blake

lakisha*

jordin*

and melinda will win it

*not sure between lakisha and jordin

jordin has really bloomed... i liked her from the beginning, but she is really finding herself and maturing

i also think blake is showing some progress... hes showing some versatility... and altho he may not have the best voice (not that its bad either), he can change things up and perform

im sorry, i know some of yall like chris, but i just cant see it... but then again, i dont see what justin timberlake has to offer... his country song made me cringe... he has this whiny kind of tone to it, in addition to that nasal quality... and if he was trying to be nasal, then it seems that he tries to be nasal every week... and i just want to also say that i found his timing of his condolences to the VT victims a little suspect... it would be one thing to say it as he did his opening piece before he sang, but to do it just when he is asking you to vote for him???? maybe i am just too cynical, but i felt as if he was using that to try and garner votes rather than be genuine

melinda handled herself well when faced with that choice... that has to really suck to be put in that position... though she should have had an idea they might try it after seeing it being done to taylor last year

*heads to bed with super-vegas-style-poorly-done copacabana running thru my head.... yikes... bobbys huge grin.... *twitches

Yep, they were the bottom 3

On Sanjaya's leaving....all I can say is 'Bout dam time! Sanjaya has been a joke from the beginning and Chris Sligh's leaving was a huge mistake.

Lakisha sure got one He!! of a wake up call last night.

My previous post stands as is.

[Sinergy 3]

when i saw blake, lakisha and sanjaya, i KNEW blake and lakisha was NOT going home. i was jumping up and down before the results were announced

ME SO HAPPY!! now we can get back to the competition of SINGING!!!

oh thank god! i was soooooooooo happy last night when they finally announced sanjaya was gone! poor kid was crying.. aww.

next i HOPE goes chris, then blake, then i dunno...depends on how those girls and phil sing in the upcoming weeks! but chris and blake gotta go imho!

[Marilyn. 340]

I wanted to watch the part where Sanjaya got kicked off last night but I forgot but I just now watched it on the American Idol site....

When Ryan said that Sanjaya was going home it sounded like the crowd was cheering.... I think that is one of the first times I have heard cheering when someone was voted off

i think Blake has a chance of winning... i think he is totally different then anyone they have had on the show... he is more hip and current....

awww, that was so sweet.... Blake was wiping away Lakisha's tears

Sanjaya actually did that song better on the results show then he did on performance night

So to me it looks like the past few seasons have had more talent then the first couple of seasons... so not sure why people are saying there is less

I agree with all of your evaluations except in season 5 I don't think Elliot or Taylor were very good singers.

IMO this season has the best top 3 or 4 singers (vocalists) of any other season.

[Mary Lou 681]

I think the remaining contestants were glad Sanjaya finally got the boot. They knew from previous weeks that he was bumping out better singers then himself. From the look on their faces they didnt seem too sad to see him go

you dissing my Elliot ?? I agree with Taylor though....... he did have personality and I think that is why he won...

[Savanphil 3]

Good riddance Sanjaya , I didn't even watch this season but I'm glad he's gone

[Robor007 0]

I know I'm late to the party but better late than never... Suckjaya is gone!!!!

At least now all of the singers left are at least decent. I'm not a huge fan of Blake and I hate Chris' boy band voice/style but they're not terrible like Suckjaya was. Phil was excellent last night but he's far too inconsistent to make the top 3 let alone win. I think (hope) it will come down to Jordin and Melinda. My pics are (in order):

Jordin

Melinda

Lakisha

Blake

Phil

Chris

I think both Stephanie Edwards & Chris Sligh are top 5 material but unfortunately they got voted off too early. Oh well, at least Suckjaya is gone!

Sorry. I wasn't a fan of him. I think Chris is this years Elliot - for me anyway. Taylor reminds me of someone who would sing in a bad Vegas show. He's got personality though, I'll give him that. I think Chris Daughtry was the best of the bunch. He didn't win but at least he got exposure and a contract.
