American Idol Results 05/09/07

Last night, each of the top four performed twice. The artist of the evening was Barry Gibb, of the BeeGees. Once again, the contestants struggled with the genre. Only Jordan managed to perform well. Not only did she choose the right songs, she performed them flawlessly.

I was not surprised to see LaKisha and Blake in the bottom two. I agreed with Randy: Blake’s beat-boxing was unnecessary on these songs. But it was certainly LaKisha who struggled the most. I was saddened, but not surprised, to see her voted off tonight.

At this point, I think Jordan has to be the favorite to win this thing. Melinda showed last night that she can be ordinary. And ordinary just doesn’t cut it in this competition.

As for the “professionals” on the show – I could have done without the Pink performance. And poor Barry Gibb. He’s just gotten old – like the rest of us.
