3. Blake Lewis – A great ornamentation, smooth melody, solid mixture of beat boxing and straight singing and a cool, controlled and confident vocal earns Blake a bloop-free performance that may have vaulted him to the top tier of contestants. The judges love him, the audience loves him, he brings a unique sound to the competition, and he even got Seacrest to dance! What can’t he do? In my book, this is Melinda and Blake’s show to lose.
4. Jordin Sparks – All female singers on Idol this season must be compared against the level set by the reigning contender, that being Melinda Dolittle and her automatic non-bloop status. On this night, Jordin took a big swing at knocking down the Dolittle. I was tempted to one-bloop to stop the suicidal thoughts in my head, but however dreadful the lyrics may have been, it would have meant denying my ears the kick ass voice of Jordin Sparks. And that’s something I cannot do. For me, it’s Melinda first, Blake second, and Jordin crashing hard into third.
5. Haley Scarnato – That was a “drop the TiVo, lock the door and have some private time with Idol performance” straight out of the Kat McPhee playbook. Haley was smart enough to know that to stay in this competition she needs to highlight the fact that she’s the hottest girl on the show. So she brought out the gams, left the bra in the dressing room and shook her goods straight into the land of Safetown. Simon was completely on point in describing the singing as screechy at points, but really, what does it matter? She’s our Official Season Six Eye Candy, and my TiVmote is getting a rest every time she’s on stage.
6. Gina Glocksen – She gets automatic double bloop exemption for her kick ass rocker do, well played leather pants and insertion of the Stones into little old, square American Idol. But taking that all into account, she still can’t avoid a one bloop. Every time she stalked the stage she lost her breath. She had problems pulling the mic off the mic stand and the hair was distracting as all get out. I liked the “let it go and wail” parts, but the restrained chorus was tough to sit through. The rocker role will take her through the bottom rounds but she needs to refine her vocals if she wants to break out of the middle of the pack.

The difference between Sanjaya Malakar and Scott Savol - Scott Savol can sing. Please don't compare the two.

Is it me or does Phil Stacey look like Dr. Evil?

I just wanted to say thank you to Lyn. This is Scott's older sister. I'm sooo tired of people comparing my brother to someone who can barely sing, let alone be able to sing ballad songs. I mean come on, he needs to just give it up and bow out like Mario did the season my brother MADE IT TO THE TOP 5. Never the less, thank you Lyn for sticking up for my brother.

Indeed. Scott had soft tones and did not how to sing. Leagues above Sanjaya
