Hey Flipit, I agree Lakisha is probably done. If it were based on last night alone Blake should be gone, but I think his fan base is a lot deeper than Kiki's.

Great recap!
-JR

Love you, love you, love you, Flipit. Reading your recaps makes temping a heluva lot more fun.

Unlike you, I am a Blake fan. However, You Should Be Dancing is NOT a good choice at this point in the the competition (though I did like This is Where I Come In). I think Night Fever or How Deep Is Your Love (which he did in the group round in Hollywood) would have been a better choice for his first song.

Like you, I have a feeling LaKisha's out. Blake has enough of a fan base (yes, including me) to keep him on for at least another week, though he's going to REALLY have to bring it next week to make it to the finals. However, I can see LaKisha and Melinda starting to cancel each other out, if that makes any sense.

Jordin is good with the right song, I'll admit. Her first song was really good. Her sugariness irritates me, though (I had some similar issues with Carrie Underwood at times, though she definitely deserved to win). And I am getting SO SICK of the "she's only 17!" garbage. Every season, there's at least one really young finalist (though, granted, they usually don't get as far as Jordin has). Also, wasn't Diana DeGarmo 16? Did they keep saying that? (I didn't watch that season.)

I still maintain that Jordin is heavily favored by the producers to win, and that's totally not her fault, but it still rubs me the wrong way.

Blake's performance last week won me over, but I groaned when he beatboxed again this week. Yes, its neat that he can do it, but AI is a singing competition and beatboxing should be an infrequent occurance. I think tonights results will be relatively predictable, with Kiki going home and Blake in the bottom two.

ROTFLMBBAO!!! *Dead*. One of the best recap. Great screen shots. And I think Kiki is gonna bite it tonight, even though I think it should be BeatBoxBoy.

So long as Melinda doens't go tonight.. I really don'e care who does out of the remaining 3... Blake... meh... he's so played out and his beatboxing sucks.
Lakisha.. she can sing yes, but I never saw the appeal of her.
Jordin, she's great when she picks the right songs, but when it's the wrong song, BOY does she suck balls.

OK, is it only me who thought Barry's grayer and rounder head holds what is probably the worst pair of slurr-inducing dentures since Geoge Washington carved himself a set? And is it only me who thinks Melinda, with her crazy hand shaking and staggered stage lurching, is gonna get bounced right after that walking set of boobs, aka Lakisha, is finally tossed out on her dead-eyed, personality-free butt? Just asking.

Holy shit, does Blake ever suck. He sucks harder than anything has ever sucked before. He can't sing, he beatboxes as well as your average 8th grader (if I ever see Paula or Randy in person, I will personally beat the snot out of each of them for calling his hackneyed shit "unique.") Plus, he's ugly. This person has got be related to Big Brother's Mike Booger in some way, right down to his wiggy wiggy white boy fucktardedness (it's a word).

I find him to be the perfect microcosm for this entire season. Marginally talented, thoroughly unattractive, and unduly adored. Thanks, AI. Fuckers.

I think that Blake is in trouble. As much as I like him (esp. his rendition of "Time of the Season") I agree with Paula (WTF?!), he should have sang "Jive Talkin'".

I'm disappointed in most of the song choices - it's not like they didn't have thousands of songs to choose from! One/any of the girls should have done "Emotion" and another "Guilty" and hell, even "Too Much Heavan". .....and no, I am NOT ashamed of my BeeGees knowledge. Thank god no one busted out "Islands in the Stream"!

PS. Barry is scary with grey hair!

It was so cool that they got Will Farrel to do his Sean Connery impression last nite. What?! That was Barry Gibb?

Ugh, I hate hate hate Blake. I thought this was a SINGING competition, not a piss me off competition. He can't sing. Does no one else realize this? HE CANNOT SING! I'd be less pissed if Sangina was still there instead of him, I'm super cereal, guys. Die_Mediawhores gets the award for truthiness of the year comment.

Flipit, one of your best recaps ever. I lol'ed at your "Thanks for drinking" screen cap.

Screw winning a trip to the Idol finale, I want to win a trip to watch the finale with Flipit!

Thanks for pointing out KiKi's panty line -- we were shocked. I am a large woman, and believe me, if you wear a dress like that, you definitely freeball it. Without question. (Or thong it, but I just didn't want to send everyone racing to scrub their eyeballs at the thought...)

^^^amen. self love is important. so are pantie lines.

george washington carving himself a pair is still killing me. thanks guys.

Hey flipit, nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah!! My boy is still in and you get to watch him again next week! The beatbox gods have smiled upon him this week...

i'll get you my pretty

great recap, as per usual. funny captions! even funnier comments (fucktardedness is my new fave)

First of all -- those songs completely SUCK UNWIPED ARSE. No wonder the judges weren't impressed. Shithouse material!

Barry Gibb is a crappy liar bc it's so clear he couldn't stand hearing anyone (female) trying to do his stuff. Plus he HATED the beatboxing! (as did I -- give it a rest, mate!)

Kiki was great, but woefully underappreciated. I don't understand why the judges (and voters) weren't wowed by her perfs week after week, tho she did get a little hoarse towards the end both times this week... And she really didn't bring it on those high notes, which was a shame. She rocked that Shirley Bassey/Bond track a few weeks ago, tho. I don't care what anyone says.

Blake will go next.

Jordin's got the prize, fer sure. As I commented elsewhere, once her voice matures and she gains the benefit of proper coaching, her voice will be truly stupendous!

but never as good as Kiki's...
