It's been criticized for being boring this year, which I think is a little sad. Just because there's no Kellie Pickler or Bucky, America thinks it's boring. What I think we have are some actual normal people! Nice people!
One of my favorites is Blake Lewis, who I think is going to go farther than people think. He started as the "beat box" guy, but his voice really took me by surprise. He's got a really smooth, unique tone that I like. I'm looking forward to hearing him do a ballad; I think he'll hit a homerun with that. He's also very smart about his song choice and how to sell it.
Oh Lakeisha, Lakeisha, Lakeisha. This girl had me at hello. Does anyone remember that night she did "And I Am Telling You" from Dreamgirls? I thought I'd just about pass out. She is in another category entirely. It's like she stepped off Broadway and decided to do American Idol.
Then, this week she did "God Bless the Child" with such class and elegance...she is one smart lady. Didn't oversing it, like so many did that night. I just love watching her perform. She's confident without being cocky. So quiet and shy when Ryan asks her questions.
The only problem is if I watch the show too late into the evening (we usually tape it and watch later on), I can't sleep. I'm so tense and wired from watching the performances. I need to read for about 20 minutes just to calm down. Pitiful, I know.
My worship pastor told me the other week that he had read that Chris and Phil are both worship leaders at their churches back home! I thought that was interesting...

amen sister.
those 2 are on my watch list as well. now if we can just get people to STOP VOTING FOR SANJAYA!
He's killin me. Its almost unbearable for me to listen to him. for me we could narrow the field to 3 next week and move on.
melinda, kiki, blake, and sligh.
i guess i listed 4, not 3...whatever, the kids have melted my brain
I agree with Jen. Melinda, Kiki, Blake and Sligh. I think the rest should be sent to a deserted island -- especially Sanjaya. Go to U-tube if you dare to listen to his rendition one more time. It's pitiful.

Wow... where to begin? I LOVE Kiki. REALLY love Gina, she's different with a really great voice. Blake and Chris Richardson are so entertaining and great singers. Love Phil most of the time too. Sometimes I love him the most when he's really on. No question that Kiki should TOTALLY win this one!!!
those are my two favs too!
Chris Sligh...I put all my chips on the table for him. Even if he doesn't win, he'll go on past AI. His humor is hilarious! "Paula melted in my chubby little hand!"
