Final 8 - Jennifer Lopez

It was Latin night on American Idol last night. For the most part it was a fun show. None of the contestants blew my socks off but there were two that I enjoyed over the rest.

Melinda: I missed her performance. What I saw of the snipit at the end was great. Not sure why Simon was so pissy about her performance and not having fun.

LeKisha: Conga
LeKisha had awesome hair last night. I was afraid she might fall out of her dress though. I thought she had a great vocal and performance.
R: Having a good time, made it your own.
P: Safe LeKisha performance.
S: Agree with Paula

Chris: Smooth
The beginning of the song was flat to me. It was like the key he was singing in was too low for him. Chris did try to make the song his own. I am not crazy about all the runs he puts in his songs.
R:Did a really good job.
P:Hot performance.
S: Not best vocal. Liked the performance better than the first two singers.

Haley: Turn the Beat Around
I don't have a lot to say about Haley. Good job for Haley. Sounded a bit out of breath at the end.
R: Really Karaoke.
P: Fun song.
S: Can't do well in the competition with your voice so you have to fun. Felt vocals were rushed.

Phil: Maria Maria
Better vocal and performance than last week but still not good. The song choice suited him but he is out talented. The pitch problem at the end wasn't as bad as Simon made it out to be.
R: Didn't quite connect.
P: Good vocal.
S: No originality.

Jordin: Conga
Best performance of the night for me. She made the song original, had great vocals and the performance was fun and entertaining.
R: You got it!
P: So authentic.
S: Okay performance.

Blake: a Marc Anthony song forget the name right now
Blake is my favorite male contestant. I really enjoy listening to his voice. He is a bit much to watch most of the time. I think Jordin out sang him though.
R: Hot song choice and performance.
P: Very smart.
S: Best song choice and performance of the night.

Sanjaya:
Last night was the best he has looked so far this season. His vocal was actually okay, just not believable.
R: That was really good.
P: Smooth, very nice.
S: It was horrible.

That about sums up the night for me. My favorites this week were Jordin and Blake. The bottome two were Chris and Phil. Nope, as much as I hate to admit it Sanjaya was not the worst for me this week. He had better be careful, doing better may get him voted off the show! Can't wait to hear from the rest of you!
