Well, last night's American Idol wasn't the best. There were moments of greatness, but I just wasn't very impressed with any of the performances.
I did not like Blake's renditions at all -- it's almost like he's just using gimicks (the beat boxing) to stand out and not doing much singing. So, I'll be ready for him to go tonight. (I know my nieces will be screaming with outrage if he leaves -- but for real -- he needs to be done.)
I think that LaKisha is also at risk not because she did poorly -- because I think she did okay and she'll get a recording contract and do well without winning -- I think she's at risk because her personality is not as strong as some of the others.
Now, I know that Jordin is becoming a favorite, and I've liked her from the start, but her youth is showing and the pouty looks at the end (trying to get people to call and vote for her)... well, it's not my favorite thing ... it just seems like it's a bit immature. She's young and will do very well in the future... but I wouldn't mind if she didn't win.
From the beginning I've wanted Melinda to win -- she just has the best package -- best and amazing voice, tone and quality and easy to listen to -- a true performer who puts her soul into her music. She deserves the win but even if she doesn't win, I know she'll do great and I'll for sure buy a CD from her. (I can't say that for the others.)
Anyway, just my thoughts from this week. I'd love to hear yours. :-)
