American Idol - Top Three
- Posted by Beth on May 15th, 2007 filed in American Idol, General
Down to the last three, this week–Jordin, Melinda, and Blake. As long as Blake goes this week, I’ll be happy. Or whatever you’d call it, when you can’t stand this show in the first place.
Jordin Sparks up first–I thought she did well, Simon wasn’t impressed. (Sorry, I’m trying to catch up.) Didn’t like what Jordin did with whatever song that was.
I haven’t even paid attention to whether there’s a theme or whatever this week, although my daughter tells me they sing their own picks this week. ??? Well, I don’t expect any surprises–Blake will pick stupid shi’ite to which he can beat-box, or he’ll pick something even stupider (although I wonder, is that possible?) and NOT beat-box so he can show he doesn’t have to do it. Whatever. He sucks ass either way. And now I’m annoyed ’cause Vote For The Worst has Blake picked (which obviously means they’re voting for him–duh), although their picks have gone home the last two weeks anyway. Maybe Cake will get the VFTW curse like Phil and Lakisha did. ;-)
Oh, nooooo. He’s got the geek look tonight with his emo dipshi’ite hair. And I despise The Police–yes, even Roxanne. He’s making it suck even worse than it already did. OMG, look at him dance around…like an idiot. Oh, big shocker: Randy and Paula liked it, Simon didn’t. Like everything else. YAWN. Blake sucks, with his emo hair and ubergeek look and his boring singing.
OK, now Melinda. Good. WHAT? She’s doing Whitney Houston? Hey, that never happens on American Idol! As usual, I don’t know the song at all, but Melinda could sing Mongolian throaty shi’ite and sound good.
I get it now–the judges pick the songs this week. They’ve said not to pick Whitney Houston songs before, but Randy picked it for her, presumably ’cause they knew she’s one of the few who wouldn’t fark it up. Simon sez she’s teh winnar of round one–again, no surprise.
JORDIN! EEK! Her favorite song is MmmBop? SCARY. (That in answer to a fan question asking what’s her favorite song.)
So now she’s singing “She Works Hard for the Money.” Need I give my opinion on this song? Nah, didn’t think so. Sorry, Jordin, I’m not liking it any better with your version. In fairness, the girl can sing, but she’s kinda warbly or something on this. Um, is Paula trashed again? Is she sharing her stash with Simon? WTH are they all giggly about?
Question from a fan to Blake: who does he want to play him in a movie? His answer: Jim Carrey, with the movie titled “Organized Chaos?” That’s a flick you couldn’t pay me to see. And yes, we get another beat-boxed stupid song from him. Don’t know the song, don’t want to, don’t care. It SUCKS. I know, like you thought I’d like it, right? HA.
Question of the night: Can Beth stand an hour of this? Answer: Not likely.
Oh, hey, c.a.! F–kit, I’m going to throw tomatoes from the comments unless something shocking happens (not likely). After Melinda’s question, that is. “Who was your idol growing up?” Shocking answer: “My mother.” Gutsy!
See ya in comments….
c.a. Marks says:
I wish someone would tell Ryan and Blake that the George Michael look went out years ago! Blech.
c.a. Marks says:
Donna Summer? Jordin is hacking it.

and gah, I wish gravatar would get my image correct. It is supposed to be my screaming pirate monkey!
c.a. Marks says:
Paula must be drunk, just heard Randy ask for some black coffee. HA! OK Blake is coming up.
c.a. Marks says:
Confession. I like this song. :oops:
Love the pants Blake! Oh wait, we are supposed to be heckling….
c.a. Marks says:
Isn’t he supposed to be singing through his mouth instead of his nose?
c.a. Marks says:
HOT DAMN! HELL YEAH. MELINDA RAWKS
Beth says:
OK, Carol–what WAS that song?
Beth says:
Melinda ALWAYS kicks ass on this show. I’m still wondering why she’s on this dumb show and not already in possession of a recording contract.
c.a. Marks says:
Tina Turner’s Nut Bush City Limits but of course. I only know it because I was on a huge Tina Turner kick at one point in my life! lol LOVE the Tina Turner.
Beth says:
Simon calls it a tie because he’s too chicken to say the truth, that Melinda owns this shi’ite.
c.a. Marks says:
I know what you mean. But if she doesn’t win this thing I’ll NEVER watch this show again! LOL She’ll be fine though and I’ll buy every single one of her CDs. Unless she is a liberal that is. Heh.
Beth says:
No, I mean what was the Blake song?
Beth says:
HA! I know, but I say that “I’ll never watch this show again” stuff every year…and here I am. Like a fool.
;)
c.a. Marks says:
What were Paula and Simon watching to believe that that was even close to a tie!!! Melinda all the way tonight.
Beth says:
I think Paula and Simon are sharing the Paula stash tonight, AND they’re playing the stupid game.
What the hell is this song Jordin’s doing?
c.a. Marks says:
Didn’t she sing this before??????? Has see already shown us all she has?
Beth says:
Well, I think that was much better than the first two.
Beth says:
I dunno if she sang it before–I couldn’t even tell you what song that is! HAHA, I’m the shi’itetiest AI blogger evar!
Beth says:
KILLL MEEEE!!!
Cake beatboxing with Sir Mix a Lot!
What is this farking stupid shi’ite he’s singing now?
c.a. Marks says:
OH Blake’s song. I think it was Maroon 5 and I can’t remember the title right now. It was a pop 40 not too long ago.
Beth says:
Do you know how much I hate it that he’s still on this show?
c.a. Marks says:
LOL Didn’t know that song!
c.a. Marks says:
Yeah, when is House coming on? Not soon enough
Beth says:
HAHA, I’m gonna actually watch the GOP debate after this shi’ite?
At least it’s not with Chrissy Matthews so I don’t have to live-heckle that shi’ite too!
Beth says:
I’ve never watched House–in fact, until this commercial just came on, I never even knew what it was about!
Beth says:
Ugh, I’m so not a fan of this song, but she makes it less corny. Melinda had better win this thing, ’cause she’s the only one who can make me tolerate songs I usually can’t stand.
Beth says:
Well, that’s it; 1-866-IDOLS03 or text 5703 for Melinda!
c.a. Marks says:
Yo Yo, that’s all folks! LOL
Simone finally got something right with the consistency remark for Melinda!
Aight, I gotta go. House is on! :love:
c.a. Marks says:
Oh BEth you are kidding! You don’t know House?! You’d LOVE it! He is such a smartass but brilliant; perfect for you! LOL
c.a. Marks says:
See ya. It was fun!
Beth says:
I’ll have to watch it next week!

[...] Well, after the live-heckle-blogging from the last hour, I’m not sure I’m game for live-blogging this. Maybe a random outburst here and there. Maybe just R@n P@ul heckling. ;-) [...]
chris says:
Hey Beth. You deserve much better than I have given these last few weeks. Unfortunately, chaos reigns here and I missed again. I’m going through TiVo so here goes:
Jordin up first: Wishing on something or other. Not a bad song. Simon hated it. Dang she looks great. Sounds decent too. Good first shot.
chris says:
Blake, the flake from Seattle. Ok, that explains a lot. Roxanne? I hate the Police (well, except a couple songs from the syncronicity album).
He actually did a no-beatbox rendition. He didn’t have much to work with having to do that sucky song, so it sucked.
Judges thought it was decent.
chris says:
Randy can’t even fax without the “dawg” talk. Sheesh. Melinda is doing Whitney. Whitney sucks, so I am not hopeful. I loved In Living Color’s version of Whitney doing Rythm Nation (This music by my side, is my attempt to hide that I cannot sing…We are part of a rythmless nation)
Not too bad. Melinda is much less shrieky and whiney that Whitney. Not very annoying. Give her the top of the night so far. What else is new.
chris says:
Jordin up again, doing Donna Summer. Not bad at all. Pretty good in fact. Better than Donna in fact. Looks great again. It will be interesting to see where she ends up tomorrow.
Judges liked. Even Simon. Blake is in trouble.
chris says:
Blake up doing a jamiriqoi wannabe song. Oh, our first beatbox. Let’s see how many more…
I hate to say it, but he nailed it. Out of the park. The song was perfect for him, right in his area, right in his range.
Judges agreed.
chris says:
Melinda up. I don’t know this song. Never heard it before. What ever. She’s nailing it again. She has a very confident air about her now. She has come a long way from the beginning.
I agree Beth, if she doesn’t win, something’s wrong.
Judges think she nailed it too.
chris says:
Jordin’s last song. Star at the mall. Love the joke. People can walk all over her now. Too good. I don’t recognize the song. Ok, now I do. This is ok, but… I don’t know. Not the best of the night for her.
Judges split.
chris says:
Jaming with Mix-a-Lot. Wow. Not bad.
When I get you alone. Meh. Ok, but not great.
chris says:
Melinda’s last one. Blakes sucky song sets her up for a big finish.
And I don’t think she did. Wow, should have sung something else.
Give this round to her only because she’s Melinda.
chris says:
Worst to first:
3. Blake
2. Jordin
1. Melinda
Going home should be Blake. Here’s why. Last week LaKisha was voted out. She had a slew of voters, but she and Melinda were battling over one paticular chunk of swing votes. That chunk will not vote for Blake under any circumstances. Jordin, having black and white parents, will be deemed not black enough and will be “Obama’ed” by them leaving Melinda as the black idol they can support. The rest of LaKisha’s voters outside that swing chunk will split amongst them.
Of course, I don’t think it will matter much for the phone votes. LaKisah’s voters will be met with busy signals for the most part no matter who they support. At this point, you will have 20 million people jamming the phones lines. People trying to vote at this stage are often met with busy signals. Only so many will get through and roughly the same amount will for each. It’s why the votes are always so close at this stage. It will be the texting that carries the others over one to be eliminated.
That chunk of votes I was talking about above (black young adults and teens) will have plenty of cell phones amongst them and will be texting like crazy. It is my guess they will text for Melinda and to a lesser extent Jordin. Sending Blake home.
D**n I’m cynical.
Have a good night.
