I actually thought Simon rolled his eyes because he thought Chris made the comment to try to garner a sympathy vote. I hope I'm wrong, but that was my impression.
A small sampling of the songs being performed this evening: Chris Richardson will be singing "Smooth" Three other songs being sang are "Conga," "Maria Maria" and "Sway"
If Sanjay wins American Idol it will be the biggest travesty in reality television... but also the funniest and probably highest rated show in the history of televison.
Well, I guess my list was only partially correct... I thought there were quite a few good performances tonight. I believe that Haley might be going home, but I wouldn't be surprised if Chris Sligh left. Big improvement from Phil Stacey, Sanjaya (hopefully the Stern crowd and others will...
Actually my original song choice post was incorrect. I have found an updated correct listing: Song Choices Blake Lewis - "Love Song" Chris Richardson - "Don't Speak" Chris Sligh - "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" Gina Glocksen - "Just Like A Pill" Haley Scarnato - "True Colors"...
"Rumored" song choices and performance order for tonight: Song Choices Blake Lewis - "Love Song" Chris Richardson - "Don't Speak" Chris Sligh - "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" Gina Glocksen - "Just Like A Pill" Haley Scarnato - "True Colors" Jordin Sparks - "Hey Baby"...
Gwen Stefani? That makes no sense to me. Stefani is unique in that she doesn't sound like anybody else --- it's not that the AI contestants can't sing well, but trying to sing Stefani songs appears to be a train wreck waiting to happen. I don't know... I can't picture Melinda doing...
I think Jordin was the best of the night, and I thought Lakisha's "Diamonds are Forever" rendition was awesome (I know I'm in the minority). Obviously, Melinda has a nice voice, but I find her songs boring. I wish she would do something more modern like a Whitney song.
I couldn't help but laugh when Sanjiya started singing and they showed that little girl crying. I think Gina will go home tonight... although Sanjiya should.
I'm not a big fan of Blake but I liked what he did with the song. My favorites were Lakisha, Melinda and Blake. I have a feeling Stephanie is going to go the route of LaToya from a few seasons back - back song choices and not enough personality.
Sundance should have known not to mess with a rock oriented song (remember what booted Constantine?) It doesn't matter how popular you are, but if you really, really butcher a popular rock song, you're going to go.
Umm, how can I sum up that "Jeremy" performance except with one word.... BRUTAL Man, I thought the judges were going to really give it to him, but they were actually kind. But MAN oh MAN, am I the only one who thought that was horrible?
I have to disagree with this point. Leslie was clearly one of the weak female singers. I don't remember a season with as many powerful female voices. As for AJ, I'm not impressed with any of the guys so it's a wash as far as that goes for me. I'm not convinced that one won't impress me down...
