3 Contestants, 3 Performances From Each - 5/15/07

Well the number 3 was a big one on this night. We have 3 contestants who would perform 3 different songs from 3 different sources. A judge pick, a producer pick and then the contestant would pick one. Overall at least in my thoughts tonight of all nights truly showed who should win it all and I will be totally pissed-off if she does not win the title. Anyway on to the show.

Ryan looked nice in his gray suit and it appears that stubble will stay because it has grown some. The judges look nice although there was kind of a goofy air about them tonight. We get to see snippets of each of the contestants going to their hometowns to be honor by their fellow neighbors and friends. I am sure each felt overwhelmed and happy by the support they received.

We begin the songfest with 17 year old Jordin Sparks:

1st song is a judge pick by none other than Simon Cowell who chooses "Wishing On A Star". It is a more jazzy version than the original done by Rose Royce and Simon was not all that pleased with it. Randy and Paula of course liked it alot. My thoughts were she looked great but the vocal was just okay for me.

2nd choice was a producer pick (where the hell was Clive Davis?). "She Works Hard For The Money" fit Jordin's voice however she appeared to be bored to death singing it. While the vocal was good it was a pretty lackluster performance overall.

3rd song choice chosen by Jordin was "I, Who Have Nothing". She got an A+ from me for giving a truly passionate and excellent vocal on this old-fashioned song as Simon called it. I could feel the chills running up and down my spine as she sang. Awesome job on this one.

Next up is Blake Lewis.

1st song choice is by Paula who chooses "Roxanne" for our beat-boxer. I do not think anyone could ever perform this song as good as Dilana did on Rockstar and in my opinion Blake's version was a total boring mess. He did sound somewhat like Sting but there were a lot of off notes throughout the song, at least to my ears. I could not believe the judges liked it.

2nd choice from the producers was a lot better "This Love" by Maroon 5. I thought Blake did a good job on this one and definitely showed more personality. The judges liked it and so did I. He definitely should stay in this vein for his future cd. Even the small beat-box worked.

3rd choice was his own "When I Get You Alone" which to me did nothing for him. I really hated this song alot although Blake sounded okay doing it. This is the second song I have heard that Robin Thicke does and I really am not into this artist at all.

Last but not least comes our Melinda Doolittle.

1st choice chosen by Randy is a Whitney Houston number "I Believe In You and Me". It was a very nice and controlled rendition of a very hard song to sing I think. The judges loved it and yes the first round definitely went to Melinda.

2nd was the producer pick "Nutbush City Limits" by Ike and Tina Turner. Wow, wow, wow! This woman could easily take the place of Tina Turner in the music world. I loved, loved, loved this performance.

3rd song was one she had done prior on the show "I'm A Woman" by Peggy Lee. She once again shows she is in it to win by giving another consistent performance as recognized by Simon. I think this woman could sing the phone book and I would loved it and as mentioned above she deserves to win the title, lock, stock and barrel.

Neither Blake or Jordin gave 3 great performances but my pick to go home would be Blake. Regardless I honestly I think all 3 of these contestants will get a recording contract.

Thoughts anyone?

Despite my comment to give Jordin a few votes, I stuck to my regular practice of not voting. I thought Melinda was fantastic on all of her songs and was really surprised to see her voted off. Once again, the tenny bopper vote rules. My home is now a house divided. I'm hoping that Jordin wins and my husband is a Blake fan from day 1.

Hello caribgal. I personally was shocked, pissed and mortified that Melinda was voted off in favor of Jordin who is not consistent and Blake who is not that good of a singer. To their credit Jordin does have a good voice but leaves me cold most of the time. Blake is unique in some ways but vocally he is just okay for me. All I can hope for now is that Melinda gets a recording contract and hopefully I can buy her music in the future. If possible the only other ones I will support are Chris Sligh and Lakisha Jones. I would have added Phil Stacey but I think he will go country which I hate.

I will be finishing watching this season because I am not a quitter and I do a review not only on this site but others. I, however really do not give a shit who wins and will not be voting. I am looking forward to the finale as they usually have alot of artists on it and of course the top 12 will be back. I am also hoping that those assholes of American Idol will bring Taylor Hicks on the show as I adore him. They have really screwed up his reign as the American Idol by not promoting his cd. In spite of this he has sold over 700,000 copies and his 50 city tour was completely sold out in every city so at least the fans did support him.

I was also pissed to learn my favorite show "Jericho" was cancelled. What a lousy week this has been.

As for the summer the only show I have to look forward to is "So You Think You Can Dance". I have no interest in seeing the new Mark Burnett show "On The Lot". American Idol will be bringing on a new show looking for the best band but I am unsure when this will be starting as they are just now asking bands to fill out applications to participate. Hopefully that will be interesting.

Well I will be back next week with my review although my heart will not be in it so you take care.

Hey Chris...

Well i am sorry I have not been here but I gotta tell ya..I did not get into AI this year. They voted some of the best off way in the beginning and then Phil went home and now Melinda is gone. Of the 2 left it really doesn't matter becuase they are prolly going to sing the TEEN POP...and I don't usually listen to that kind of music. Every once in a while I hear a song that I like but not often.

If you have seen my myspace profile you would think I am double talking but 70s pop rock is what I grew up on. It is still the best as far as I am concerned but that was my era and now it is a whole different 3 decades later.

Anyway.....I deleted my blogs from last summer because people were writing garbage on it and posting links to buy drugs online.

Try to talk to you soon..

Donna

Good to hear from you Donna. Many have said that this season was not the best but there is some talent in spite of no real excitement.

I personally am into all kinds of music including some country which is my least favorite genre of music. I would have to say overall R&B is my first love as I really dig those soulful sounds depending on the artist and the song.

Sorry you have had so much trouble on myspace. I just opened account there mainly so I could get on the Elliott Yamin website. I love his new cd as well as Taylor's. I passed on Chris Daughtry because to me every song sounds the same. Also passed on Katharine McPhee because although she is quite pretty she is just another pop singer with no real edge and I am already sick of hearing that song "Over It".

Due to financial obligations I have been watching my pennies so have not bought any cds for awhile however I have a whole list of ones I will be getting in the near future. Mig Ayesa, Dilana, Magni and Suzie McNeil are my next buys for sure.

Well tonight is the last chance for Jordin and Blake to proves themselves but I am actually looking forward more to the finale because of all the guests as I mentioned above.

Hope to talk to you soon. Take care!
