And then they were four...Melinda, Lakisha, Jordin and Blake...the ladies will be in the final three, I'm sure (they've been saying this for so long anyway), but what's your opinion? I think Melinda or Jordin will be there til the bitter end...Jordin stumbled last week over the lyrics, but Bon Jovi's music IS hard to sing to. Lakisha was accused of 'shouting' the previous few weeks by Simon and I'm not sure that Blake's singing can hold up to the powerhouse voices of the ladies after next week. Jordin is one of Simon's favorites, although Lakisha will probably hold on one week more since she did kiss Simon last week. What are you opinions now?

It's anyone's game at this point, in my opinion. All of them are good at what they do, some have more personality than others and some have different skills to bring to the table but they are all good and I believe they will all get something positive from this show whether they win or not.
If it was up to me - Jordin & Blake would be the final two with Jordin winning.
I think LaKisha or Blake are at risk of going home next week but if I was deciding, it would be LaKisha who goes home next followed by Melinda, obviously.
It's going to be interesting that's for sure. I hope Jordin can pull herself back up after this weeks mess of a song she did. She is better than that so I have high hopes for her.

I think Lakisha or Blake will go home. I'm worried about Jordin, though. If she has another bad week, she might get the boot. With the final four, they all need to have excellent performances and the only one who has never had a really bad performance is Melinda. It will be interesting to see what happens.

It was very sad watching last nights show. I knew that 2 were going, but it was sad seeing them leave. I think that Phil will have a great career ahead of him. Both Chris and Phil left with such dignity!
I am hoping that Blake will make it to the final 2. It is anyones game now. They all have such great voices and different styles. Personally I would love to see Blake and Jordin in the final 2. Everyone knows that Melinda is a great singer...but would you buy her cd? I wouldn't. I thought that Lakisha came back full force this week and was awesome. It is going to be tough seeing any of them leave now....they are all great!

I agree with you. I don't think Melinda should win it all because I wouldn't buy her cd. I think the types of songs she would do as an artist appeal to a smaller fan base than the fan base Jordin or Blake would have. The same goes with Lakisha. I think the songs she would do as an artist would appeal to a smaller fan base. That's why I agree with you that Jordin and Blake should be final 2.

They should have ended this competition weeks ago. Melinda is the hands down best in the competition.
She reminds me of the caliber of Kelly Clarkson during the first Idol.
Honestly I don't know how others have won since Kelly. She is the only one your really hear about anymore. What happened to the rest of the winners?

From what I know:
Rueben Studdard ended up collapsing because his body couldn't handle the stress--I've seen him do some promos but that has been it
Fantasia--I saw she has a new album but she never really appealed to me
Carrie Underwood won two(?) grammys and has a successful career
Gray-haired guy from last year (whose name is so unforgettable) doesn't really seem to be doing much. (I always thought he was karaoke-cheese)
Others I've heard of: Justin Guarini (season 1) was dropped from his label; Clay Aiken made an album; Chris Daughtry released a successful album and his song was the good bye song for AI this season; Diana DiGarmo ended up on Broadway in Hairspray; a girl from season 1 was on Boston Public (forgot her name); for some reason Kelly Pickler's name has been coming up in the news (why I don't know)--that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Well thank you for the recap. I knew most of it. I didn't mean to forget Carrie. She honestly slipped my mind. You do hear about her but it is Kelly you hear of most. The others ... well they seem to have blended into the woodwork.

and then they were four.... and it is more complicated to choose now. it all depends on what are they going to sing next week. like this week it was not jordin's night but she was safe because the vote last week and this weeks vote was joined.
lets watch and see though my vote is melinda OR jordin.... but i have more faith at jordin. melinda is an eperienced singer and i think she will make it big even if she will not be an American Idol.

It is very hard to choose--I think Jordin and Blake will have a disadvantage now with the disco genre (though Blake could pull something good). I really think if they had a gospel week (with Aretha or Patti LaBelle), it'd be Melinda, since she doesn't 'shout' like Lakisha.

I agree wit you that Blake's voice isn't nearly as good or developed as the other 3 contestants, but I think he has a much wider fan base than Lakisha. I think Blake will make it to the final 3, if he comes up with another creative perfomance like he did last night. The thing is, the young teenage girls think Blake is really cute, and will vote on him based on that. He's the only "cute" guy left! I don't agree with him winning out the whole thing because he's not the best singer, but he is a performer. And, if he performs well, I don't think most people will pay attention to the fact that he's vocal range is severely limited.

I think that Blake has something going with the bebop. He is very creative and is a fabulous singer. I do agree that all the young girls will be voting for him. I would be surprised if he wins.

I completely agree with you. I really believe that it is a girls year. I think that Jordan will ultimatly win it all. I think Melinda is great but I don't think that american idol is just about the singing because I have noticed that some not so great singers have stayed longer than some that are really good. I think Blake is really good but I also believe that he is over hsadowed by the women and he will either go next week or Lakisha will.

Not sure who will win, but man, what a great show with the Bon Jovi songs. Quite surprising!

Until Simon's kiss I thought Lakeidha would be next to go she was my favorite in the beginning but somewhere she lost out to Melinda.

Out of the last four weeks, the first two she was accused of 'shouting' by Simon. I think she's good, but Melinda's voice and range is much smoother. Jordin's also quite good, but she needs more schooling to get the range in there.

I have a suspicion that Blake may just have "over-Blaked" last night. I'll be the first to admit that he's about the only original thing on the show this year, but he's also a bit "gimmicky" and I don't know if it's enough to carry him through. I think he's going to have a very successful career... but (kinda like Chris Daughtry, and the whole "heavy rocker" image) he's a bit of a "song of one note," and that only gets you so far. In the end, I think it'll be between Melinda and Jordin... and Jordin could win it because she has "the whole package." Melinda is a brilliant singer, but her many years as a backup vocalist are starting to show as somewhat lacking charisma... while Jordin just "sparkles" every time she's on stage. Lakisha has a great voice, but she gets "outside her comfort zone" in TOO many genres; too limited.

I have thought all along that Melinda will win this year. I admit I have not kept up watching this year as I have felt this years contestants were weak. I thought Blake was very entertaining this past Tuesday but his qualities are mopte for show, concerts and appearances. Not for recording as much. He does well playing to the audience. I was afraid Melinda would not be able to come out of her goodgirl shell but I see now that she can play to the audience too.
I think the final two will be Melinda and Blake, although I think Melinda and Lakisha are more deserving.

hi
My prediction for this season's top 2 are Berlinda & Lakisha, and I'm sticking with this prediciton. I also think that Jordan & Blake are this season's dark horse. So the final 4 are not a surprise to me.
Next to go may be jordan, that's my guess. We'll find out next week.

I think Melinda deserves to win based on talent. But I think Jordin will pull it out in the end. That will make me happy, I love her. She is adorable and has really worked to step up her game.
I am curious why you think Jordin is Simon's favorite? I can't think of anything thing particular that he has said to indicate that.

I think that Blake or Lakisha is going home after tonights show. Blake is my favorite though, and I do think under normal circumstances his singing could definatly hold up, however he blew disco night so i'm not sure how well the voting went over. I though both of Lakisha's songs were awful, and she had been bottom 3 recently, so I am sure it's one of those two, not sure which one, and hopefully Lakisha, since I like Blake and want him to keep moving on. Jordin did very well tonight.

I have thought all along that this would be the top 4 and that Lakisha would go next, then Blake, leaving Melinda and Jordin in the finals and Jordin winning.
Now that www.votefortheworst.com has taken on Lakisha, my thoughts might not be reality. I don't know what will happen. I would like to see it end the way I have spelled out above, though.
