So the final begins… Who will come out on top, Blake Lewis, the beat-boxing entertainer or Jordin Sparks, the voice? Blake opened the first show with one of his favourite performances, Bon Jovi's You Give Love a Bad Name . I thought it was a great start and the crowd went wild, but the judges didn’t seem that impressed. From the get go they concentrated on Blake’s entertainment factor rather than his voice. Simon said "you're not the best singer in this competition. But you're the best entertainer I think we've had.” Jordin was up next with Christina Aguilera's Fighter . The judges were happy with the 'young' choice of song and both Randy and Paula said it was 'stella' but Simon thought she “shrieked it” and I have to agree! It’s a shame because if she’d taken her time rather than over sing, it could have been a showstopper. Blake fought back after his cutting comments with the Maroon 5 hit, She Will Be Loved. It was a much better ...923 days ago
Tonight's the night... Who will head to the final? There's no theme tonight, each judge, the producers and the contestants select the songs. I hope they get it right! It all rests on this. First up is Jordin Sparks... Jordin – Wishin’ On A Star – Rose Royce (Simon’s choice) I wasn't too sure about this choice, but I have to say I'm impressed. It was a smooth performance, very charismatic…and the runs were top notch! Randy said “that was like Beyonce, it was hot!” Simon agreed, "you sang that brilliantly!" (Sadly he didn’t like the arrangement). Poor Jordin, she can't win! There's always something isn't there Simon! Blake – Roxanne – Police (Paula’s choice) What’s happened to Blake? He looks like he’s gone from fashion model to geek in two shows! His voice suited the song and the performance was well acted, but he seemed to tire toward the end. Randy and Paula commended Blake, but they both spotted some pitching ...927 days ago
I DON'T BELIEVE IT! I JUST DON'T BELIEVE IT! ARE YOU READY FOR A RANT? HERE IT COMES... THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD, LAKISHA IS OUT OF AMERICAN IDOL! THERE ARE ONLY TWO WEEKS LEFT AND THE FINAL THREE PERFORMING BEFORE THE FINALE WILL BE BLAKE LEWIS, JORDIN SPARKS AND MELINDA DOLITTLE. WE SAY GOODBYE TO LAKISHA (I'M GUTTED!) FROM THE START I'VE TIPPED LAKISHA OR MELINDA TO TAKE THIS HOME AND NOW MY HOPES ARE RIDING ON MELINDA. DURING THE SHOW THERE SEEMED TO BE A FUNNY AIR AROUND LAKISHA, SHE WASN'T HERSELF AND I THINK SHE COULD SENSE IT WAS HER TIME TO GO. I WAS MORE CONCERNED BY THE FACT THAT SHE WAS TALKING TO HERSELF, THOUGH WHEN RYAN ASKED HER ABOUT IT SHE SAID SHE WAS ANALYSING HER OWN PERFORMANCE (I GUESS SHE MUST HAVE BEEN TO CRITICAL EH?) THE SONG CHOICE WAS THE TURNING POINT IN MY OPINION. STAYING ALIVE JUST DIDN'T SUIT HER VOICE. WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE THAT SONG, IT'S SO HIGH! SIMON COWELL SAID IT ALL. AFTER KISSING LAKISHA LAST WEEK FOR HER BEST PERFORMANCE YET, ...

So how was the show for you? I thought Lakisha rocked the casbah! (Plus I had tons of eye candy in the form of Jon Bon Jovi – so the show worked for me!) Phil Stacey was up first with Blaze Of Glory. The vocal was fantastic throughout the first verse and I thought he was a sure thing to go through, but then he lost it in the chorus (gutted). He just looks too sweet to be a rocker. Simon said he sang like a bad actor, he could be going tonight. PS – Can the make up artist please do something to stop this poor man sweating from nowhere but his face! Jordin’s choice was ambitious to say the least. She sang Livin’ On A Prayer and I’m afraid it was just too much. She just couldn’t reach the notes. I found myself cringing in places and I really couldn’t watch. Simon described it as screechy and compared her look to someone from the Adams Family. Not my favourite performance from Jordin, but I think she’ll be back. Lakisha ...
