FINALE!!!!!

WHAT A FABULOUS SHOW!!!!!! I think AI Finale night is becoming as big as the Super Bowl! I really enjoyed the show. SanJaya seemed to sing better than he did in during the competition. Kelly sounded more like she was yelling. Bette Midler was off key. Tony Bennett was wonderful. Taylor was a joy to watch and sounded great. I loved Bee Bee and Cee Cee Winans singing with Melinda. She really came to live up there with them. That was a super performance for her. LeKisha sounded great with Gladys Knight. They sounded great together last night too! Blake and Jordin were wonderful and it was great to watch them handle the results. I would love to know what Blake whispered to Jordin though!

Well, another season done and gone. I will be tuning into So You Think You Can Dance. My daughter loves that show. Have a great summer everyone. Linda, get me your personal email address if you want to be included in this next year. Enjoy your retirement!!!!

Finale

Wow! What a night. I must say both Jordin and Blake had their game faces on. In my opinion, I would give round one to Blake and round three to Jordin but am still undecided about round two. I am leaning more towards Jordin. I enjoy Blake's voice when he is singing straight or even the beat boxing when appropriate but I still do not believe he has the same talent as Jordin. I would vote that Jordin is the next American Idol. What are your thoughts?

WHO DO YOU THINK WILL BE THE WINNER?

Before I even see the show tonight, I am predicting that Jordin will be the winner. I will let you know if I change my mind after tonight. I have heard mixed reviews from people, so who knows!

Voted Off

I can't believe Melinda was voted off! I really expected it to be Melinda and Jordin in the battle of the Idol winner. Wow! Melinda must not appeal to the younger crowd. However, my eleven year old gets tired of hearing Blake beat box. I like Blake, don't get me wrong. I just don't think he is the same caliber as the two ladies.

Last Week. . . Boy am I late!

THE FINAL THREE!!!!!


Jordin: Simon’s Song Choice
Wishing On a Star
Her dress is adorable! The song was sang well. I like the song but it was just missing something for me. I liked Jordin and think she did a fine job and still see her has being the American Idol, but the performance was missing something.

R: Very good vocal. Run was hot.
P: Simon picked a good song for you.
S: Sang it brilliant. Didn’t like the jazz arrangement. Not your best performance.

Blake: Paula’s Song Choice
Roxanne
It was an okay performance. There was a part in the middle I didn’t like. He sounded like he was just shouting. Not his best performance this season. So very glad he did not beat box!


R:Great Great performance. Give you an A it was hot.
P: You did me proud, Blake!
S: Always forced to do an impersonation of Sting and it was as good as the original.

Melinda: Randy’s Song Choice
I Believe In You and Me
FANTABULOUS!!!!! She is in a completely different league.

R: If she can do this, she should get the grand prize.
P: Amazing and fantastic. One of best performances this season.
S: Very Very difficult song to sing. Your best performance in the last four weeks.

ROUND ONE GOES TO MELINDA

Jordin: Producer’s Song Choice
She Works Hard For the Money
Good job Jordin! That song rocked.

R: Very nicely done. It doesn’t matter what you do, you’re working it out.
P: I thought you were fantastic.
S: Very good performance.

Blake: Producer’s Song Choice
This Love
Great song choice for Blake. Perfect place for the beat boxing.

R: That is a good vibe for you. Very nicely done.
P: You are totally in your element.
S: I preferred this one to the other one. That was good.

Melinda: Producer’s Song Choice
Love Push City Limits

R: Another solid performance.
P: We love you, we love you, and we love ya.
S: Love that side of you. Actually think it was again another great performance.

ROUND TWO WAS A TIE
The three contestants are battling it out. All three brought it for round two!!!

Jordin: Jordin’s Song Choice
I Who Have Nothing
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! I liked Jordin singing this song before. She is very passionate. Great vocal and performance. This was a winning performance.

R: Another great performance. Best performance of yours tonight.
P: Great performance.
S: No doubt you sang that song well. But not setting good that a 17 year old sang a 60 year old song.

Blake: Blake’s Song Choice
When I Get You Alone
This is what is going to get Blake voted off the show. The music and words do not seem to go together very well.

R: It was cool. Like the Maroon 5 thing better for you.
P: Three great performances
S: I actually really liked that. You don’t play it safe and you take a risk.


Melinda: Melinda’s Song Choice
I’m A Woman
I wasn’t excited about this performance. I don’t even think it was as good as the first time she did the song.

I don’t have the judges remarks because I had to tend to the baby!

Third round goes to Jordin.

I would vote Blake off!


Last Week. . . Boy am I late

Bee Gee's Night

Holy Cow am I late getting this posted. I also forgot my notes at home on the show last night. I will give it my best from memory. . . .

The four remaining contestants sang two songs last night. At the end of round one I had Jordin being ahead. At the end of round two I had Melinda having done the best on the second songs.

Blake is usually one of my favorites and he sucked! H was not in the zone. In the first song he was ahead of the music. The beat boxing did not go with the song. The second song could have been good with his voice but he screwed it up by all the beat boxing mess. Randy told him he didn't have to beat box on every song. Of course, mushy Paula told him the opposite because why would we want to help the contestants get better with TRUTHFUL constructive comments? I think she works for votefortheworst.com.

Melinda's first song was boring to me. She had great vocals on both songs, but the first one just did nothing for me. Now the second song was really good.

LeKisha didn't have a great night either but it wasn't nearly as bad as Blake's performances. I was disappointed on the first song because she had an opportunity to show off her range by hitting the high notes (Stayin' Alive) and she played it safe. BORING! Her second song was okay but nothing spectacular. Mediocre night for LeKisha. Her outfit for the first song was awful!

Jordin, Jordin, Jordin. The 17 year old did a fabulous job on her first song. There was so much passion. I don't usually like renditions of the song but I loved hers. The second song (A Woman in Love) was a bit much for her but she did okay with it. It eventually got on my nerves because she seemed up high and whiney.

My prediction is that Jordin and Melinda will the the final two with Jordin being the next
American Idol. If you look back in the posts, you will see that I have been saying Jordin for a while now. Based on last night's performance, I would boot Blake off the Island. . .oops wrong show. LOL


We shall see what America thinks tonight!
