Stayin' Alive Without Fallin' Asleep

The night overall lacked an energy. The top performers of the night were Melinda and Jordin. Jordin's best performance of the season may have been tonight, "To Love Somebody".
Blake totally missed the mark with, "This is Where I Came In". Lakisha too had some issues with her songs tonight. It seemed like the toll of the season is getting to everyone. The bottom two(since three at this point isn't really fair). I agree with Simon in that it's Blake and Lakisha.
Since I won't get to a podcast for the wrap this week due to travel, I feel that Blake will be headed home tomorrow night, which will leave three ladies to battle it out for the title of Idol 2007.
Enjoy the week, we'll be back on Monday with a written preview for the Top Three with the podcast returning after the vote for next week's show.

Top 4: Barry Gibb, Vocal Coach

Wel, it's the BeeGees Night on Idol....two performances for each contestant...up first Melinda, "Love You Inside Out"...strong start to the night, loved the bridge..another solid start from Mel...Judges: Randy is yeah or nay, Paula can't figure out what to say, Simon said it was a backup singers performance, which is pretty dead on....
Up next, Blake, "You Should Be Dancing", kinda strange for Blake, the song never really took off. Judges: Randy, didn't like the beatboxing, Paula didn't like it, Simon, terrible. Not the best from Blake and playing with three women he should know better.
Third of the night, Lakisha, "Stayin Alive", she slowed it down.....interesting...vocal was solid, not sure I like what she did with the song. Judges: Randy, not impressed, Paula, thought it was a downer, Simon, verging on scary.
Jordin up next..."To Love Somebody," she was very comfortable on stage, the best performance of the night so far, and the judges agree. After the first four the Bee Gees are putting me to sleep.
Round 2 starting with Melinda. "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart," solid vocal, another master class, the second half was impeccable. Judges: Randy, much better, Paula, liked it, Simon, the second half should put you into the semi finals.
Blake up next, "This is Where I Came In", like the techno beat on the song, vocal is solid, but I personally don't know the song. I'm not sure that was the best song choice for Blake going into the Top Three next week. Judges: Randy, better than the last one, Paula, sang spot on key, Simon, don't know what that song was. I think Blake may be out tomorrow night. Lakisha up for seconds...
Lakisha, "Run to Me," good start for Lakisha on Round 2, nice to hear her voice, as opposed to the screaming in past weeks. Solid from Lakisha, liked the little squeak at the end. Judges: Randy, that was good, Paula, your still a champ, Simon, I think you and Blake are vulnerable tonight. Jordin up last, with not a lot of time for her.
Jordin, "Woman in Love," love the dress, she' s singing with the emotion in every word, she definitely did justice to that song...Babs would be proud. Judges: Randy, it was pitchy, Paula, I Love You Anyway, Simon, it was pageanty.
The recap in a few...not a great night on Idol, these guys and gals had great song to choose from. Barry Gibb, a legend in his own right and it missed.
