Gwen Stefani Top 10(5-1)

Phil, "Every Breath You Take", not a bad rendition, again the echoes are driving me nuts. Solid vocal tonight, definitely no LeAnne Rimes this week, liked the close. Judges: Randy, solid performance, didn't push it, Paula, good choice, real good performance, Simon, thought that was very good, great choice of song. Melinda up next. Gwen said she would say good luck, but she didn't think Melinda needed it that much...What a compliment!
Melinda, "Heaven Knows", great start, the dress fits the song, solid vocal, amazing stage presence, knockout! Judges: Randy, sing with feeling, you are living the words, the bomb again, Paula, you have charisma from the word go, it's fun, and you do it, Simon, vocally outstanding, hate the outfit....thank you Simon...Blake and Jordin next, which means that Chris Richardson closes the show....
Blake, "Love Song", not bad, he's staying within the dynamic of the song. Good performance from him. Judges: Randy, wasn't jumping up and down but I liked it, Paula, taking risks, being original, Simon, strongest guy in the competitions. Jordin up next
Jordin, "Hey Baby", not a bad start, good stage presence, it appears to be boot night on Idol, took her about 3/4 of the song to show some vocal range with the song. Judges: Randy, was a very risky thing to do, that was brilliant. Paula, your adorable, Simon, most improved contestant the last few weeks, more confident...Chris Richardson to close the show with more No Doubt...
Chris Richardson, "Don't Speak", start was good, his vocal is okay, the band rendition was different, liked the R&B feel. Judges: Randy, liked it, Paula, Chris good, Simon, better choice of song, not crazy about the vocal, struggled in the middle.
Back with the recap of the night in a few....solid night of performances tonight....
