Idol Chatter Final Prediction

Idol Chatter: Week 13

Only one week left. Omigoodness. I'm so excited. Last night was the semi-finals featuring Jordin Sparks, Blake Lewis and Melinda Doolittle, all Idols in my eyes already. They each performed 3 songs, a judges pick, a producer's pick and their own pick. It was a great semi-final show and it's gotten me totally ready for next week. Who will it be? Now to the performances.

Judge's Picks
Jordin Sparks (Simon) Wishing On a Star
*she made me feel old when she said she'd never heard this FANTASTIC song before
Blake Lewis (Paula) Roxanne
Melinda Doolittle (Randy) I Believe in You and Me
Round 1: Melinda

Producer's Picks
Jordin Sparks She Works Hard for the Money
Blake Lewis This Love
Melinda Doolittle Nutbush City Limits
*I was hoping one of her 3 would be a Tina Turner song
Round 2: Tie

Their Own Picks
Jordin Sparks I Who Have Nothing (again)
Blake Lewis When I Get You Alone
Melinda Doolittle I'm a WOMAN (again)
Round 3: Blake because he did a song we haven't heard yet. I really hate when the contestants repeat performances. There are just too many songs in the world for that. Why not do something new? And we could end up hearing them again next week if the ladies both make it to the finals.

I'm going to skip predictions this week, cuz like I said, at this point any of them can win and I will be happy. Can't wait for the results tonight. See you then,

SHOCKER TIME (or is it really) Melinda was sent home last night. Yes, I said Melinda. That leaves Jordin and Blake. Who is my money on? Find out next week after the finals.

Idol Chatter: Week 12

Due to the fact that I was engaged in conversation with my husband I missed the first three performances last night. Therefore I can not make a valid prediction for tonight's results. From what I did see, I'm pretty sure that Jordin and Melinda will be safe. And I can tell you that Barry Gibb was the mentor and Melinda sang my favorite BeeGee's song, I just wish I could have seen it. I'll have to find it on You Tube or something. Later,

Idol Chatter: Week 11

Bon Jovi was last night's theme and my first thought was: WTF? I had no idea what to expect but I ended up pleasantly surprised.

Phil Stacey Blaze Of Glory

Jordin Sparks Livin on a Prayer

*that was a rough performance, love the BIG HAIR though

LaKisha Jones This Ain't a Love Song

*possibly her best yet. It earned her an on-the-mouth kiss from Simon

Blake Lewis You Give Love a Bad Name

*WOW. I loved every element of this performance, beginning to end. I've never seen anything like it on AI and I hope he gets to do more

Chris Richardson Wanted Dead or Alive

*I think he's replaced his nasally sound with the "karate chop to the throat" sound. Way too much vibrato for me. Also, he looked really creepy in the shadowed stage effect lighting they had going on

Melinda Doolittle Have a Nice Day

*reminded me of Tina Turner (before Randy had a chance to say it)

And in case you missed it, 2 contestants will be leaving tonight since everyone got to stay for Idol Gives Back week, so I need 2 people for my predictions...

Who I think should go based on musical ability: Chris and Phil

Who I think should go based on the past 2 weeks performances alone: Chris and Jordin (and that's my fave girl so you know I'm not too biased)

Who I think America will give the ax: Chris and LaKisha

We'll see tonight,

P.S. That speech from Bush and his wife was crappy and a waste of time. Plus Laura looked absolutely insane and drugged.

Results: Goodbye to Chris and Phil. The final four are HOT!
