Idol Tuesday

ah...4 people left means DOUBLE THE SONGS!!!! delicious.

oh, BROTHERS GIBB - this was my favorite night during season 2...Clay sang "To Love Somebody", which was my favorite performance of that season, so this night has plenty of shoes to fill...

1A. Melinda - ohmygodmelindacanyoupickasongSOMEONEknows?!?!?!? i think melinda likes to see how far she can take it in annoying the viewers. this is the freakin' BEEGEES and you pick this song? no one knows this song! i totally agree with simon, it was a backing vocal disguised as a lead. when no one knows the song, you need to carry it even more. girl, do you want to leave?

Song Choice - D
Performance - C-

2A. Blake - methinks Barry Gibb does not like the beatboxing...GEEZ! why does Blake get special microphones with echo????? Paula is standing, but not dancing...she is brainwashed! his beatboxing sounded like stuttering.

gimmick gimmick gimmick.
lay it on thick thick thick.
makes me sick sick sick.

Song Choice - B+
Performance - D

3A. Lakisha - ooh...she did NOT follow the gospel of Gibb! will she be punished for not taking his suggestions? no power! where is the strong Lakisha voice?

I NEED PHIL STACEY!!!

Song Choice - B
Performance - C

4A. Jordin - Finally! some great song choices...can she top Clay? i have such a strong emotional connection with that performance. wow, HUGE praise from Sir Gibb...we shall see...i didn't have the same impression Gibb had. she didn't make the connection i needed, but it was the best so far...

Song Choice - A+
Performance - B+

1B. Melinda - oh, i am so through with your song choices. you obviously don't want to win! you don't want to produce original material! poor choices - i am not into this at all. her voice sounds good, great even, but i am not feeling this material. she needs to sell herself as an ARTIST, not just a singer! i'm not buying it.

Song Choice - C-
Performance - B+

2B. Blake - ohmygod, i LOVE this song!! my friend pete's mom loves the BeeGees and she played this for me in her kitchen and i thought this song was so great. yes, this is what will save Blake, his top-notch original song choices. minus the still-annoying beatboxing, his performance was good! i can't believe i'm saying this. i actually rewinded it! could it just be my love for the song? i don't know, but it fit his style and it sounded like a modern song...wow!

Song Choice - A++ (the extra + is for the great surprise!)
Performance - B+ (that stoopid beatboxing tok him down a peg!)

3B. Lakisha - her voice is strong, but i just can't picture myself listening to it on the radio. i think she could be strong in a show, where you need to understand the lyrics. i can picture it: "The Color Purple, starring Lakisha"...

Song Choice - B
Performance - C+

4B. Jordin - oh, jordin, if you sing "how deep is your love" or "too much heaven", i will fall in love! the barbra song? eh, i guess...man, they should call him Boner Gibb for the way he heaps the praise onto Jordin. she has a VERY slight case of the Sanjiyas - she sounds much better in rehearsal than onstage. i don't know what it is...is she an EXTRAORDINARY ordinary person? or simply a good extraordinary person?

Song Choice - B
Performance - B

Who's going home: Lakisha, second to Melinda (i got a feeling...)
