Bon Jovi Night: Top 5

Well, after a close call and might I say ratings saver, no one was voted off last week during "Idol Gives Back", which means more singing of Bon Jovi or Bon Jovi inspired tunes tonight...and off we go...
Up first, Phil, "Blaze of Glory", well he sounded good in the vignette. Phil starting out in the crowd with a great tune. Seems very poised tonight. One of the better performances of this season, nice to hear Phil's voice in his range. Judges: Randy, other than country week, your best performance on the show, Paula, you were living your inner kid up there, best opening we've had all season long, Simon, thought it was okay, didn't hear any authenticity, don't think you've done enough to last till next week. Phil did great and has enough fans now to pull him through next week, I think.
Looking forward to lots of filler tonight, with six performances and lots of extra time.
Jordin up next, "Livin' on a Prayer," Jordin has that total Pat Benatar rocker look on stage, but a little taller of course...she's trying to bring some emotion to the song, she would be doing a lot better moving around the stage and playing off the crowd, she tried to pull it together for the close. Judges: Randy, the verses were rough, wasn't your best, Paula, went for it knowing it was out of your range, Simon, it was like something out of the Adams Family, the singing was out of control, verging on shrieking at times, it was terrible.
Lakisha up next, and this may very well be her swan song. "This Ain't a Love Song," she's started well, looking for the big voice to show up, this is one of Bon Jovi's hit songs, but it's not as big as some of the others, the only problem is it's repetitive. She did a great job with it.
Judges: Randy, she's back this week, Paula, you did give everyone a little somethin somethin, Simon, I could kiss you after that. (and she did). Blake up next.
Blake, "You Give Love a Bad Name," I sense some beat boxing tonight...interesting start, I liked it...like the beat for the song..Blake sounds good, seens pretty comfortable, and he's kept with the main part of the song. He's totally put HIS personality into the song and I think he pulled it off. Judges: Randy, the award for the most original of a song ever on American Idol, that was hot, Paula, the biggest leap of faith, this was amazing, Simon, that was the right thing to do, took a massive risk, this is what is going to keep you in the competition this week.
A wow for Blake, that was awesome!
Chris next..."Wanted: Dead or Alive," Chris seems to have a Garth Brooks look in his eye tonight, he's doing okay, but the tune isn't really doing much for me, unfortunately. He didn't do anything really to make it his own, the complete opposite of Blake, which may send him home.
Judges: Randy, did your thing, liked it, Paula, turning out to be a great night, Simon, did as much as he could do. Melinda closes the show...."Have a Nice Day," well, it sounds like yet another vocal schooling from Melinda....and it is! Nice to hear a female vocal on this song, she's bringing some soul to this song. She's like a mini Tina Turner, nice job from Melinda. Judges: Randy, a great performance, liked the Tina Turner attitude, Paula, you were singing your heart out, your a rock star!, Simon, thought it was like a young Tina Turner, in a different league tonight.
Recap of the evening coming in a few....
