Blake Lewis — Mack the Knife
I thought that was one of Blake's best vocals. I was a tiny little bit disappointed he didn't try to make it a bit more his own. I liked the scat at the end.. Not my fav performance of his, but I think he did really good. He looked great - I love his Colgate smile! :) And I really love the way he moves on stage.
Phil Stacey — Night and Day - Phil looked awful tonight. He looked sick. I just can't watch him, he creeps me out. Listening with my eyes closed, it was actually a lot better than the judges gave him credit for. But the line "spending my life making love to you" really did me in. Blech. Sorry, Phil fans! He just doesn't do anything for me vocally.
Melinda Doolittle — I Got Rhythm - LOVED the dress, hated the hair. I love that style of music for Melinda. She was great! I think this was my favorite performance of hers. She seems to have finally gained confidence!
Chris Richardson — Mr. Saturday Dance - He looked great tonight. The hat really suits him. He's got beautiful blue eyes and a great smile. :) I LOVED his voice tonight. No nasal stuff at ALL tonight. Fun performance, and yeah, he put lots of himself in this one. One of his best, and my fav from him.
Jordin Sparks — On A Clear Day - She did good! Her breathing really bothered me on the softer part of the song, mainly at the beginning. That money note at the end was really impressive. This was young and fun, just like her. Very good!
Gina Glocksen — Smile - Her tongue ring and her hair really distracted me tonight. Listening to the audio only, her voice was really good on this. The arrangement is horrendous tho... Yikes. All in all, good vocals, but a bit boring.
Haley Scarnato — Ain't Misbehavin' - Well, she's a smart girl. She knows she's got a great bod, and she's using it. She made me think of Jessica Robinson in that performance. Her voice was good, and I thought her performance was good, too. It was fun, and she seemed to have had fun with it. All three judges were asses with her. I felt bad for her.
Sanjaya Malakar — Cheek to Cheek - One of his best vocals. But why oh why doesn't he sing in a higher register, and louder? He's actually pretty good when he kicks in! His personality is showing through, and he seems to have so much more confidence this week - seems like he's believing his own hype. Again, the judges were being total assholes in their comments to him. They clearly want him out - and so do I, please dog have mercy - but do they really need to be that cruel?
LaKisha Jones — Stormy Weather - I HATE her lower register. On the first phrase, when she sings weather... ARGH! It really is grating to my ears. She looked great, she sang great... But it was not anything that really wowed me.
Best of the night: Melinda, Chris R
Worst of the night: Sanjaya, Phil
Bottom 3: Phil, Gina, Haley
Going home: Phil
*****EDITED*****
Wow. I have to admit my jaw dropped. It was clear to me that the last two would be Haley and Gina - Phil looked way to chipper and Gina looked way too gloomy to suggest otherwise. But I never expected that Gina would be the one to go.
Yea, it doesn't
She knew it was coming, too, she looked so sad and just exploded when it was revealed she was going home. She still sang really well - which she had sang like that last night...
