My take on last night's "Idol":
Too much self-serving verbal diarrhea from Ryan Seacrest about the "gives back" aspect. There's a 20hour show decoted to it tonight, for pity's sake. Why cram it down our throats during what was SUPPOSED to be a competition night?
Best performances of the night: Phil Stacy, Melinda, Dolittle, Jordin Sparks.
Chris was pretty good. Lakisha wasn't bad. The opening of her song was shaky, but she delivered the goods in the end. I'm not so attached to Fantasia's version of anything that I couldn't appreciate Lakisha's vocal.
Blake's was the weakest. Song wasn't right for his meager voice. Arrangement was simple, but it required more power. I was very disappointed Blake was doing this song...it required the vocal skills of someone like Melinda to make it really work well.
Goning home tonight? NOT A CLUE.
