Filler crap, Part five: Jennifer Lopez performance. She sings some song off her new, all Spanish album and naturally promotes it afterwards. I didn't really care for the song, and her voice sounded like it was being dubbed with synthesizers. I don't believe for a moment that she and Marc Anthony watch the show regularly. Like she cares who's going to win. I wonder who's richer - her, or Simon?
Argh, back to business. Chris is sent back to safety. Phil is grinning like a fool, while Haley wears her usual face of defeat. Ryan ends the torture and gives her the boot. No one is shocked. Hell, I can't believe that she made it this far. Haley sings her swan song, and near the end she approaches the other contestants. I laughed when Chris and Blake do some silly dance towards her.
Next week is Country Week, with Martina McBride. I'm expecting a disaster, especially from super-stylized singers like Blake and Chris. LaKisha and Melinda may weasel their way out of singing country by picking a gospel-sounding, country song. I foresee Phil picking a tune to showcase his big voice, and I foresee Sanjaya wearing a stupid cowboy hat on stage and keeping the peach fuzz on his face. I think that Jordin may be the only one who emerges from this unscathed.

So, Jenny from the Block will get Simon to his feet? I love it when my expectations are fulfilled.

Sean- Thanks! Can't wait till next week!
Amrita- Oh, did she? I don't recall. When, during her performance or after?

Oh well, now that "legs" is out I'll have to get focused again on the singing. At this point I have to go with Jordin to win it all with Blake as the runner up. Unless there is a voting SNAFU she will go all the way because she appeals to more than one audience. And yes, I can't wait to see what Sanjaya drags out on country week.
