todd55devoe's blog: "american idol"

Why is it that the power company is stupid enough to schedule a power cut right when American Idol goes to air. Not too a bad thing I guess considering how this series is going.

I have to say that despite the fact that it is Top 4 week, no one really seems to care. This has to have been the most disappointing season of American Idol which is evident by falling ratings. Does anyone actually care who wins this year?

Oh well, tonight the final four get to work with Bee Gees legend Barry Gibb .

I'm not sure I'm going to be too thrilled with tonight's show. Is anyone going to stand up, yet?

The contestants get to sing two songs each tonight. First up:

Contestant: Melinda Doolittle

Song Choice: Love You Inside Out
Ringtone:
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5701 & 1 866 436 5705

I'm not sure I get why Melinda is not stepping up any more. Perhaps she is trying to get herself sent home before Lakisha.

Contestant: Blake Lewis

Song Choice: You Should Be Dancing
Ringtone:
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5702 & 1 866 436 5706

What is this? The audio sounds bad and it just doesn't work tonight.

Contestant: Lakisha Jones

Song Choice: Stayin' Alive
Ringtone:
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5703 & 1 866 436 5707

This might be the first time Lakisha has actually made a forward step for a few weeks. Not incredibly fantastic but better than she has been.

Contestant: Jordin Sparks

Song Choice: To Love Somebody
Ringtone:
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5704 & 1 866 436 5708

Barry Gibb gives Jordin "mad props" for making the song the best version he's ever heard. It was ok. But it was no "Idol Moment" that's for sure.

Contestant: Melinda Doolittle

Song Choice: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart
Ringtone:
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5701 & 1 866 436 5705

Once again, a nice big vocal performance from Melinda Doolittle. Certainly better than her first song but she just bores me to death.

Contestant: Blake Lewis

Song Choice: This is Where I Came In
Ringtone:
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5702 & 1 866 436 5706

I've had a headache for the last 24 hours and this isn't helping. It wasn't a hit back then and it's not a hit now.

Contestant: Lakisha Jones

Song Choice: Run to Me
Ringtone:
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5703 & 1 866 436 5707

Well, Lakisha has been on her game tonight. Is this a giant rebound? I doubt it.

Contestant: Jordin Sparks

Song Choice: Woman in Love
Ringtone:
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5704 & 1 866 436 5708

Barry Gibb gives Jordin "mad props" again and says that she's going to be one of "our" best recording artists ever. Seriously, are these people deaf? Jordin has some serious pitch problems.

What another let down. Are these guys really working with the best in the business? It just seems to have all gone wrong this year.

So who will be going home? Will our poll be right?
