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,

Will Work For Shoes


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.
