American Idol takes a down hill turn to the country…

Well I have to say country night is always my least favorite. But last night wasn’t as countryish as usual. Everyone sang more modern country songs that almost don’t even sound like your typical country song. There wasn’t any “Achy Breaky Heart” or anything like that. The only major cheeseball song was “Let’s give them something to talk about” co of Sanjaya which is barely even a country song. The whole show seemed a little bit off balance last night...

Phil Baldy: Phil is still hangin in there. The judges liked his performance a lot but he still doesn’t come close to some of the other contestants. Country music seems more like his thing so maybe he might have a future there. If there’s room for Kenny Chesney, there’s probably room for Phil Baldy.

Jordin Who (not anymore): Jordin’s face looked holy crap pretty last night. The shimmer fairy came along and dusted her in gold and sparkly orange. Jordin sang extremely well and is definitely starting to edge her way up the ladder. She has a strong presence and showed it off last night.

Sanjaya Stern: Sanjaya actually kind of has a cool voice. With a few thousand lessons, he might be sort of good. The judges thought he sounded too karaoke. Of course, his hair was in full effect. He wore a red bandana with ringlet curls. His hair seems to get more attention than his voice. Hey, it’s American Idol you gotta pull out all the stops (even if that means selling out to your own hair).

Mini-Justin Timberlake: Uh-oh buddy, you better be careful. Precious little Mini-JT decided to cop in attitude last night and it didn’t set well. The judges said he sang nasally which got him all defensive and cocky. During the scowl he all of the sudden breaks out with, “my thoughts and prayers are with Virginia Tech.” His timing was horrible. He still gets a 9 on the hot scale but this week he gets a 2 on the personality scale.

Melinda Mom: Thank you, Simon!!! So, of course Melinda sings amazing last night. Blah. But after all was said and done Simon told her to give up the act. He said she needs to stop acting all, “Oh what? Who me? I sang good? Oh really? Oh my gosh!” Yes, agreed. It’s beyond annoying. She has an amazing voice but lacking in other areas. Melinda is not the whole package.

Lakisha the Great (barely): What is going on here? The judges just pummeled Lakisha last night. She sang one of Carrie Underwood’s songs and it seemed to be really good. Her voice sounded strong and she really connected. The judges felt differently and told her she wasn’t picking the right songs. Yes, Lakisha probably won’t be the next American Idol. But she does have a great future ahead of her.

Beat Box Blake: Blake wins again. He may just be the next American Idol. He sang a smooth song and sounded amazing. He has yet to disappoint the judges. Blake brings a fresh new style to the competition. He also has a great voice and edges out Mini-JT on the personality front.

Mini JT was definately an ass last night. Maybe he was still feeling some of the trauma due to the Tech tradgedy.
