Personally, I find it hard to believe that anyone who was so clearly The Chosen One, much less a poor kid from the South Bronx, would find this assistant accountant so tremendously irresistible that he would perform these sorts of acts in a public restroom, and risk everything. To me, it IS farfetched, just as this guy's supervisor supposedly stated. Also, my brother taught Mario at a school in the Bronx, and I don't believe that he was gay (not that there's anything wrong with that).

What did you think of Sanjaya's Shirley Temple curls? I could be cruel, but I think I'll refrain from bashing him tonight. His performance is all the embarrassment he needs (wait...isn't that still bashing?) First off, let me just say that I think the judges were pretty out of line tonight in their criticism. For Chrissakes, they're singing Diana Ross songs! I'm sorry, but it's near impossible for ANYONE to do Diana Ross any justice...and I thought the judge's constant bashing of the contestants was out of line. That's not to say that some of them didn't do all that great. Save for Melinda, LaKisha, and Jordin, everyone else was pretty mediocre (although I thought Gina did pretty good again this week.) But WTF was up with everyone forgetting their words tonight?

When I was a little girl I had those Shirley Temple curls. I thought he did better tonight than any other time in the competition but he still needs to go home. Brandon and Haley I can't believe they forgot the words to their songs. Shame Did Chris Sligh lose his glasses? I can't believe the way he sung one of my favorite songs YUCK. Lakisha,Melinda,Jordin did great as usual. I thought Phil did much better tonight. I didn't like Blake as much tonight as I have been. Like X said just mediocre tonight.

X, just think that this is the first time they've been in the theater on that huge stage. I'm sure it's intimidating as hell. I thought it was so sweet that Simon was kind to Haley, and made sure to repeat her name.
I agree with you, X, about the judges and their incessant criticism. It was criticism that often made no sense. They got on Blake and Chris S. for changing the arrangements and were told that they should not change up the classics. Yet, if they had stayed true to the original, then they would be called karaoke and copycat. Personally, I think that they ripped some good performances. They liked Phil, and ripped apart Chris and Blake?? That makes no sense.
Melinda sang my favorite Diana Ross song, so I'm biased. But man, she was unbelievable. LaKisha was also very good, as were Blake, Chris S. and Jordin.
As for Sanjaya, please stop voting for him!! He's scary and untalented.

I don't think knocking someone's hairstyle or looks counts as valid criticism in a singing competition. But in any event, of course he needs to go home.
Anyway -
I think the judges were SPOT ON tonight! I was very disappointed overall, EXCEPT for Melinda (#1 tonight) & LaKisha (#3 tonight) as usual, and (#2) Jordin (or was it Haley? I forget who did what now). My favorite guy, Blake, didn't bring it, altho I didn't think it was as bad as they said -- but in the end, only Phil came even close on the guy's side. I'm disappointed in Brandon, too.
Sanjaya and Chris R need to go first and second. But the Anti-Idol clowns keep campaigning for Sanjaya and putting him through. There's really not much integrity, as usual, yet, in this thing until those guys are out.

Once again, Melinda and LaKisha rule the school. Jordin came in third and everybody else was a distant fourth.
One question... Who the heck was Melinda singing back-up for? It better be Mariah, Whitney or Christina because that's the only way it would make sense.
In my opinion, Chris Sligh butchered one of the most popular songs in the world. He still bugs me. I get the sense that his respect is contrived and made for show, while his performance, at least last night, was pandering. I agreed with the judges on that one.
Simon I think was correct on Blake and Chris R. - if they listen to it again, the vocals weren't very good.
The other contestants were forgetable.
Dial Idol has Blake, Chris Sligh, and Stephanie in the Bottom 3, although statistically, it's too close to call. What DI does show is that Melinda, LaKisha and SANJAYA are statistically safe.
Are you friggin' kidding me?

I think that Stephanie has a good voice, but she hasn't been putting on much of a show, and I think that both Blake and Chris have talent, but chose poorly last night. A great deal of it does come down to song choice, and I don't think that any of them did very well with that last night. DS, I do agree with you on Chris' attitude, though. Yuk.
Sanjaya is a horror, and quite honestly, I feel bad for the kid. He's going to be kept on the show while better performers get voted off, and he's going to feel the hate weekly. It's got to be tough for a kid. But that's what Idol wants, one sacrificial lamb per season, be it Jon Stevens, Kevin Covais or Sanjaya.
As I've said before, the judges constantly admonish the audience to remember that this is a singing competition; however, they're the ones that put Sanjaya through to the Top 24. If they dislike his voice so much, why?? For the same reason that they put Antonella through. Although this is allegedly a singing competition, it's actually a reality show that needs to entertain with drama and controversy, etc. so that it can garner ratings.
Btw, who else was thinking that Sabrina was sitting home throwing darts at her TV???

Pretty spot-on breakdown there, SB. I thought Haley did very well (and looked sexy as hell, to boot. That girl's got legs! ) Chris R. was the best male vocal for me (followed by Blake...this seems to be a recurring thing.) Jordin was fantastic, as usual...but as has been the case for the past few weeks...Melinda stole the show. If she doesn't win the competition this year, something is seriously wrong. I appreciate the judges trying to be a bit nicer to Sanjaya...but I think this was his worst performance yet. Really...absolutely horrible. The kid has no talent, I don't care what anyone says. And what was up with the "crying girl?" She was actually become really annoying.

Haley- Not bad at all. I need a outfit like that She was much better than she has been. Randy was even dancing in his seat. Chris R.- He did great even though he was a tad bit nasaly. Gotta love his eyes and smile. Stephanie- I don't think it was her best performance. Boots with that dress? Is that the fashion these days? Blake- Great job. He made that song his own. Nice golf pants. Lakisha & Phil- phone call didn't see their performance. Jordin- didn't know the song but she did a great job. Hard to believe she's only 17. Sanjaya- OMG they showed a girl crying. I think me and her were crying for different reasons. What was he smoking tonight? Please go home!! Gina- Got a hair cut. You can't see here eyes. I like the song but not the way she sung it. Chris S.- Go Fro Patro Good song for him. Good job. Melinda- I have been wanting to post about her lack of neck. Never heard of that song either but she did ok. I think I'm gonna listen to oldies on the radio for awhile.

The guys performed much better this week, especially Blake and Chris R. Haley's outfit peformed really well. Melinda once again stole the show, but Jordin, in my opinion, is really pushing LaKisha for a strong second. Not that she needs to listen to them, but this is the second week in a row that LaKisha didn't listen to the guest helper. Last week, it was Diana Ross and the microphone thing while this week, she was strongly urged to take one song by the British lady and she went out and sang the other. I'm not saying it's a conspiracy but it's a bit odd that with all the number of ways AI can choose to edit LaKisha's pieces, they go the same route twice in a row. Very weird.
