Jennifer Lopez night at ‘American Idol’
I am just very glad the contestants on American Idol tonight were not required to sing Jennifer Lopez songs. A very weak night of performances. I think the playing field is pretty wide open at this point.
Melinda Doolittle- B+ – So good that she is boring. She looked very Dreamgirl-ish and did a pretty good job.
Lakisha Jones- D - I usually like KiKi but I sort of felt like I was watching a funny Youtube clip of a high school reunion where the girl from back in the day had a bit too much to drink during karaoke.
Chris Richardson- D- – Don’t sing a song that was so good and so popular just a few years back. The public will inevitably compare you to that and Chris was not even close to as good as Rob Thomas on ‘Smooth’.
Haley Scarnato- B+ – She continues to improve. I think she got laid by one of the pretty model boys in the club and discovered her sex drive and appeal. She has a star factor quality to her (ala manufactured Britney). I think she will survive this week.
Phil Stacey- B- – He does a pretty good job when I am not looking at the tv and just listening. I just wish he would dress his age and straighten his hat out. He gave one of the better performances but I still believe Phil will be in the bottom three tomorrow night.
Jordin Sparks- C+ – Hard for the rhythm to get you when you don’t have any, but JS is very talented and perhaps had the best vocal of the night. Jordin needs to work on her dancing and movements while singing. I thought when she got started this would be a lot better than it ended up being.
Blake Lewis- B – Perhaps the biggest kiss up in the competition by singing a song by J-Lo’s husband Marc Anthony. Blake was easily the worst dressed contestant of the night. He did a good job but to me he sounds the exact same on every song he sings. He also doesn’t smile while performing. Great song for him and so far the best performance but Sanjaya hasn’t performed yet.
Sanjaya Malakar- A+ – A lil bit more spray gel and a goatee this week. First time he has looked ‘normal’ in a few shows. Oh yeah his singing….I thought he did a really good job. I honestly think he had the best vocal of the night. Congrats Sanjaya. Now watch him get voted off after a really good performance.

Hoorah! Gina Glocksen gets ‘A.I.’ Boot
Gina Glocksen and her tongue ring are going home. The alternative wanna-be rocker chick was voted off of American Idol. I believe her tongue ring played a role. For one it affected her singing and slurred her words, and secondly there is a large part of America that didn’t vote for her because of her ‘trashy’ tongue ring.
The top three were LaKisha Jones, Jordin Sparks and Melinda Doolittle.
The middle three were Blake Lewis, Chris Richardson and Sanjaya Malakar
The bottom three were Phil Stacey, Haley Scarnato and Gina Glocksen
I slammed Gina’s performance of ‘Smile’ last night because it is a horribly weak song, especially for a wanna-be rocker. The song was on Michael Jackson’s HIStory album and we all saw all that turned out.

Tony Bennett night at ‘American Idol’
Front runners LaKisha Jones, Melinda Doolittle and Jordin Sparks continue to be just that on American Idol. Blake Lewis and Chris Richardson were impressive as far as the guys go. Probably the contestant in the most danger tomorrow night will be Haley Scarnato or Phil Stacey.
Blake Lewis- B+ I am not a big Blake fan but I thought he did a pretty good job with the swing classic ‘Mack the Knife’. I thought he had his best fashion style for week. I still believe Blake is the perfect match for Seacrest.
Phil Stacey- A- I am not much of a Phil Stacey fan either but these songs are right up his alley. He did a very impressive job although Randy and Simon seemed to disagree.
Melinda Doolittle- A+ Dr. Doolittle continues to shine and be my favorite. She sang ‘I Got Rhythm’ and Melinda definitely does indeed have rhythm. She is going to be hard to beat.
Chris Richardson- C+ Homeboy Timberlake was a let down this week. I thought he was under appreciated up until this point but tonight he seemed to be over appreciated by the judges in my opinion. I didn’t find it to be horrible but Chris has had better performances.
Jordin Sparks- B+ She is the young prodigy that could shock the world and win American Idol. She reminds me of a young Muhammad Ali (not sure where that came from). They say she is 17 but I think she has a forged birth certificate. She is light years ahead of any 17-year-old I have dated. Her performance was very strong tonight.
Gina Glocksen- D- What the heck was Gina thinking? I think ‘Smile’ is one of my least favorite songs in the world. She tries to be all urban alternative and she came out singing a song by Charlie Chaplin that Michael Jackson covered on HIStory. The tongue ring has to go. Although the rest of her makeover was an upgrade.
Sanjaya Malakar- B- LOL, I am glad I type this as I am watching AI. The pencil thin mustache and white suit about made me fall off the sofa laughing. Not a bad performance by Hairjaya. I found his vocals to be pretty good, he danced with Paula and he pimped a white suit….what could be better than that? He also got a hair cut and straightening job.
Haley Scarnato- B She is either really good or really bad. Tonight she is pretty freaking good. She is good with a cheesy Disney song or classical song. Everything was good about her performance except her green dress which did everything to highlight all that is wrong with her figure…..which isn’t much.
LaKisha Jones- A+ It is a good thing KiKi doesn’t look like Antonella Barba or Haley Scarnato because if she did they would have to cancel the rest of the show. It would be that big of a blowout. It is almost like she is making love to the microphone when she sings. Her stylist deserves a raise as she continues to look more and more the part of a sexy diva each week.

Will Sanjaya Actually Go Tonight?
I would bet a lot of money that Sanjaya Malakar will not be voted off of American Idol tonight. Every AI hater and unconventional person will be casting a vote for Sanjaya. I say this even after the latest Bumpshack poll that shows that 73% of respondents believe he should be voted off.
However the poll I posted is inverted in relation to the way they do the actually voting. It is a lot easier for Sanjaya to stay on when people are voting for their favorite. If America was voting for who should be kicked off the show Sanjaya would have been gone weeks ago.
Other results from the Bumpshack poll (sample size:103) have Haley Scarnato (12%) as the second most likely to go home. The rest of the votes went to Chris Sligh (6%), Phil Stacey (3%), Jordin Sparks (3%), Chris Richardson (2%), Gina Glocksen (1%), and LaKisha Jones (1%).
I believe the bottom two tonight will be Haley Scarnato and Phil Stacey or perhaps Chris Sligh.

‘American Idol’…one more must go
More of the usual this week on American Idol. The same ones shined and yet another queer hairstyle from Sanjaya Malakar. The Bumpwife immediately said that boy needs a therapist. You know I think she is right. She actually use to be in his camp, but her jaw was on the floor with Sanjaya came out to perform last night. I didn’t like Jordin Sparks performance at all but the judges loved it.
Goods: Melinda Doolittle, Gina Glocksen, LaKisha Jones, Blake Lewis, Chris Richardson
Decents: Chris Sligh, Phil Stacey
Bads: Haley Scarnato, Sanjaya Malakar, Jordin Sparks

Stephanie Edwards gets the ‘Idol’ Boot
Aspiring singer Stephanie Edwards was the lowest vote getter this week on ‘American Idol’ and will no longer be a part of the show. Edwards and Chris Richardson were the two contestants with the fewest votes. Richardson had been a favorite of the judges and pretty popular with viewers until this week.
Edwards is just 19 and comes across being very mature. She should have a successful career in music as she continues to grow as a performer and adjusts to her vocal talent. She resides in Atlanta, Georgia and auditioned in Memphis, Tennessee. Her favorite singers are Justin Timberlake and Beyonce. Her ‘American Idol’ hero is Fantasia (surprise).
I was surprised that Phil Stacey was not one of the bottom scum suckers like he had been the week before. Sanjaya Malakar, who also was nearly booted last week, performed well enough to stay. He seems to have a pretty strong fan base no matter how good or bad he sings.
The ten contestants that remain are: LaKisha Jones, Chris Richardson, Blake Lewis, Melinda Doolittle, Haley Scarnato, Sanjaya Malakar, Phil Stacey, Gina Glocksen, Jordin Sparks and Chris Sligh

Quick ‘American Idol’ Recap from British Night
I was a bit distracted trying to watch this week’s episode of American Idol. From what I was able to see I was most impressed by Sanjaya, Haley, Chris and Melinda. The bottom three vote getters this week will be Phil Stacey, Gina Glocksen and Sanjaya Malakar.
ELIMINATION DANGER: Phil Stacey
Melinda Doolittle- A – DooDoo continued to shine as she sang ‘Home’. She is my personal favorite.
LaKisha Jones- C – Everyone wishes they could sing like this girl but tonight was not that impressive to me. Simon was right on with his commentary. It doesn’t matter she will be back next week and is the favorite to win it all.
Stephanie Edwards- B- – She is always overshadowed. I don’t remember much about her performance. She needs some hair.
Haley Scarnato- A- – As Simon said not many people will be talking about her singing today and that is true. I have no clue what she sang because she was teasing the audience with that sexy figure of hers. She has dumped her good girl ‘Disney’ image.
Gina Glocksen- F – Simply the worst female performance of the night. The only thing worse than her singing was her new hairdo. It looked like my sisters Barbie doll after she chopped her hair off with scissors then dipped Barbie’s head in her Kool-Aid. She could also better enunciate her words if she would remove her tongue ring before performing.
Jordin Sparks- A+ – They need to check her birth certificate. She is in the Doolittle, Lakisha category and is going to stay there.
Blake Lewis- C – The cockiest contestant for sure. He was better than last week, but his singing leaves a lot to be desired. More likely to be a music producer.
Chris Richardson- A- – He continues to be the male favorite in my opinion. He seems to get better each week.
Sanjaya Malakar- B+ – WOW! Sanjaya came out loose and sang like a rock star. His performance blew the judges away…as far as where did that come from factor. I believe he will be back.
Phil Stacey- F – Appeared to be very flat and is the most boring contestant remaining.
Chris Sligh- B- – Nice rebound after a sucky singing performance last week. He went in the crowd and seemed a bit inspired.

Quick ‘Idol’ Recap from Diana Ross Night
I am just now catching up on American Idol from last night. The show I found to be rather blah and quite boring. The highlight of the show was Simon ripping Ryan about his sexuality and telling him to ‘come out’ of the closet. Every contestant had to sing a Diana Ross song. Ross mentored them in practice as they murdered her songs.
Here is a quick run down of how all twelve contestants did last night. LaKisha and Doolittle continued to be light years ahead of the other ten. For a more detailed breakdown check out MK’s analysis at Popbytes.
Melinda Doolittle- A+ – DooDoo continued to shine as she sang ‘Home’. She is my personal favorite.
LaKisha Jones- A – She sang ‘God Bless the Child’ which was a bit of a weird selection for her powerful voice but she did an amazing version of the song.
Stephanie Edwards- B- – Stephie has a lot of potential. She didn’t totally max it out last night but she had a very decent performance. She sang ‘Love Hangover’.
Haley Scarnato- B+ – I have been very hard on Haley and she has been horrible up until this point. But unlike Randy and Paula I agreed with Simon. She made a world of improvement and could surprise in the next round. It helped out that she had to use a song outside of her Disney play book. She sang ‘Missing You’.
Gina Glocksen- C- – The tongue ring will turn off a wide range of voters….you know what Chris Rock says about that, right? Gina was not horrible, she was not bad. I think she would be less distracting if she got rid of that red skunk tail. She sang ‘Love Child’
Jordin Sparks- A+ – Air J sang ‘If We Hold On Together’ and showed that she is at least the thirst best singer in this competition behind KiKi and DooDoo.
Blake Lewis- D – I think his future will be as a record producer. Blake’s rearrangement and version of ‘You Keep Me Hanging On’ I thought was mixed well and had a good beat. However, his vocals more than sucked and ruined the performance.
Chris Richardson- B – Timberwannabe is probably my favorite among the men. He also had the best male performance of the night singing ‘The Boss’, but that doesn’t say too much. He has charisma, talent, good looks and will land a record deal regardless of how he fares on Idol.
Sanjaya Malakar- F——— – JaJa thought it was style your hair like Diana Ross instead of sing a Ross song as well as you can. He shouldn’t be here and it is becoming very embarrassing for him. But the thought of Sundance Head singing a Diana Ross makes Malakar a bit easier to stomach. He sang ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’.
Phil Stacey- F – Goofier than an albino squirrel. He has gotten cockier and cheesier each week and that is simply a DEADLY combination. He sang ‘I’m Gonna Make You Love Me’.
Brandon Rogers- D- – His voice is not that good, albeit I would kill for it, and his dancing isn’t much better. He forgot the words and was visibily nervous. He sang the The Supremes hit ‘You Can’t Hurry Love’.
Chris Sligh- C – He lost the glasses and a bit of his magic as well. He tried to rework her song when he should have just sang it with that talented voice of his. He sang ‘Endless Love’.
