TUESDAY May 1, 2007...Week #8 w/Bon Jovi
MAY 1, 2007...Week #8 with Bon Jovi
This week, we lose two more contestants. Idol is going to add the votes from last week and this week and then take the lowest two totals and send them home. Because of the fund raising efforts of last week, there were 78 million votes, so the top vote getter, Jordin, got a lot of votes last week. Tonight, Jordin did not do very well. For the past several weeks, LaKisha performed poorly, but tonight she got back on track. Can she be saved? Very interesting!
Last weeks Dial Idol final results were as follows: (Only Jordin was considered safe last week as the other busy signals were too close to call).
1. Jordin Sparks 25.23
2. Phil Stacey 21.58
3. LaKisha Jones 20.65
4. Blake Lewis 20.54
5. Melinda 20.11
6. Chris Rich.. 18.10
This evening we have a rocker, Bon Jovi, and the girls should be at a disadvantage.
#1...Phil Stacey...He chose a song that he had been singing in front of a mirror for fifteen years from the movie Young Guns. Randy and Paula couldn't heap enough praise and Simon thought it was just "O.K." The audience booed and hissed his comments and as usual he had a completely different opinion from Randy and Paula...in his opinion "the truth." He told a happy Phil that he probably did not do enough to save himself from going home. Based on last weeks high numbers and his clear second place finish, he may be safe in spite of Simon's unimpressive comments.
#2...Jordin Sparks...She is no rocker and although she told everyone that she was raised on Bon Jovi songs, she was pretty terrible...cute, smiling, vibrant, but terrible. Hopefully, she has her fan base out there and her large vote overage from last week to keep her around to compete against Blake and Melinda for the Idol final.
#3...LaKisha Jones...She finally sang a balad type song, possibly the only one in Bon Jovi's song list that fit her perfectly and she did very, very well. Will the votes tonight be enough to keep her in? She was so bad for so long leading into last week, who knows? Tonight was a huge improvement...too little, too late. We'll see.
#4...Blake Lewis...Blake rearranged one of Bon Jovi's biggest hits and he really did a great job. I actually clapped for the boy. I think this performance showed everyone that he belongs in the final 3. At this time, I think Chris Richardson continues to take the women's vote away from Blake.
#5...Chris Richardson...Chris needs to be worried tonight if Dial Idol is correct from last week (he was in last place). Chris is no rocker and all three judges said he did O.K. on the song he chose this evening. Simon worried out loud that he may not be safe tomorrow. Women voters better get dialing because I think Chris is in trouble. Of course, I have said this in the past and not been correct yet; however, only Phil is ahead of Chris and Phil's voters have kept him near the top for several weeks now.
#6...Melinda Doolittle...This gal is definitely not a rocker, but she can sing. She sang a fairly new song by Bon Jovi and as can be expected from Melinda, she sang it well. Simon said she was vocally in a different league from the other competitors this evening. I think the name of the song was "Have a Nice Day."
As far as tonight's performances went, the judges loved Melinda as always, but the audience may vote for LaKisha again. I think Jordin will be hurt by her terrible performance.
I am going to post this message very early and then I will look at www.dialidol.com in the morning to see what they predict. If you would like to check them out, just log on and go to the top of the screen and link "predictions" (they are 75% accurate, but I don't know how accurate they are with the double telephone numbers).
I won't dare to predict who is going home with last weeks 78 million votes and tonights "rocker" songs and the combination of the two for elimination tomorrow evening. Only Melinda appears to be guaranteed safe.
