4. Blake Lewis – I got a bad feeling about this night the second Blake started singing. This particular group of Idols has exactly zero love for music history, and as such, is in no way capable of relating to this style of music. Blake tried his damnedest to keep me interested, but there’s not much he can do. The kid is super-talented, can entertain like gangbusters, but tonight he was a pizzazz-filled one and a half-bloop. Also, and this is not his fault, anytime I hear a Bobby Darin song now, I immediately think of the atrocious Kevin Spacey movie Beyond the Sea, and how far Keyser Soze has fallen. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he was an A-list actor. And like that, his box office was gone…
5. Gina Glocksen – The Glock made Tony Bennett tear up! That’s an automatic exemption from the Bottom Three if I’ve ever seen one. I really enjoyed being able to hear a clean vocal from Gina; I was quietly thrilled to see that when she’s not aping Amy Lee she actually has quite a pretty voice. The stillness and the sentimentality worked for her. The hair on the other hand, is a whole other story. What was with the tied-back braid bangs? Yelch! As per the bloopage… a few weeks ago I wrote and directed a ten-minute play that was produced in a one-act show in North Hollywoood. One of the other one-acts used “Smile” as its soundtrack, and I was forced to sit through the snorefest eight freaking times. So despite my enjoyment of The Glock, I had to double-bloop her on principle. I will never get those cumulative eighty minutes of my life back.
6. Haley Scarnato – She has got to stop opening her performances on the steps. The whole “starting my set sitting so I can stand up and reveal my legendary gams” gimmick has gotten stale too quick. She was always going to need to back up the awesome body with a matching acceptable voice, and in that regard, she failed tonight. In fact, I’d say she failed on all accounts this week. She inadvertently dogged the importance of Randy and Paula, she threw crazy mad dog looks at Simon after he only spoke about her body (do not throw attitude at Simon, he will unleash a vendetta against you. See Sligh, Chris, for further information), she got a harsh buzz from Tony Bennett, and I was tempted to TRIPLE-bloop her (though Paula was right, Haley looks GOOD in green). I’ve got a bad feeling that the aesthetic quality of American Idol Season Six is about to take a severe downturn. I'd like to give my girl one more week to roll by on looks, but I don't know, I think she may be toast.

You might have the bottom 3 right, but LaKisha is gone. You should see the dialidol results, Lakisha's popularity voting-wise has plummeted.
Not even a gradual decrease, but a sudden freefall to the near bottom.
(I hope) she's gone!

My question for You is who would you keep if you have a choices between good legs and good hair? The American Idol took the singing competition to another level.
How come among the 9 finalist of the biggest singing contest in the world, from a country leading the singing matters of this world - three cannot be categorised as singers let alone top finalist in the biggest contest?
The organisers of this show must think of new format that keep in the best that can Big U.S offer, and send the LEGS and HAIRS to the relevant categories.
I believe Lakisha should be the last person to leave the competition because she has what it takes to win it. That said, Melinda is a different animal.

I would keep Haley and bounce Sanjaya off so fast it would ding his giant fauxhawk. LEGS are always better to keep around than HAIR.

I think it's going to be and Should be a tie between Lakisha and Melinda.
Blake shows off too much, and he always tries to Be-Bop the Music.
Phil Stacy, is just plain...
Haley's voice is not as good as Katherine McFee.
Chris, he just looks too much like "whatshis name from NSync.
Gina is too punk for me.
Jordin Sparks isn't quite as good as Lakisha and Melinda
and last but not least...I'm sorry folks, but Senjaya has Got to Go!"

My favorite show (A.I.) has lost ALL credibility with me. Those stupid voters who think it’s fun to “vote for the worst” are ruining this show. There is NO WAY in HELL Sanjaya deserves to have gotten this far in the competition. And you’re right … he was a kinda scared and humble in the beginning, but now he looks like he’s just thumbing his nose at the audience … the judges … all of America! … “welcome to the universe of Sanjaya?” Are you kidding me?? He KNOWS he can’t sing … he can’t dance … and I think HE is creepy to look at when he sings (although Phil is a little creepy to look at too!) But he has this newfound confidence because he’s sooooo sure he’s NOT going to get voted off, that he doesn’t care WHAT he sounds like … and he sounded like CRAP this week!! The worst ever …
My vote has been, from the beginning, for Jordin. She’s young, hip, and that girl can sing. I want Sanjaya to be voted off next, and then Haley. Haley is channeling the sleeziness of Katherine McPhee from last year. It’s a singing competition, NOT a modeling competition!!
My final comment " this show desperately NEEDS to change its voting structure. They should make it just like “Dancing with the Stars.” 50% of the voting comes from the judges, and 50% comes from America’s votes. That way, it wouldn’t be as MUCH of a popularity contest.

i think that Phil Stacey should have been the one to go last night. he SUCKS. Gina wasn't the gresatest person to grace the American Idol stage (cough cough Blake Lewis is) but she definately didn't deserve to go last night. I think that the American Idol winner is either going to be Blake Lewis or Jordin Sparks

Judge Judi- I definitely agree with you in that they should change the voting structure. Either have a 50/50 thing like in Dancing with the Stars, have people vote for who they hate the most, or have a one vote per household sort of thing. Clearly, their current voting structure isn't working.

That Judge Judi is one smart lady!!!
