AI *~* Top 6 *~* & IDOL GIVES BACK

This week was all about the inspiring, compassionate songs in commemoration of IDOL GIVES BACK. Honestly, this week was pretty boring. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but...AI was more interesting when Sanjaya was on it. Now I don't even look forward to it that much. Melinda is a shoo-in to win, so who cares? Anyway, here is this weeks polls.

(1) Chris Richardson - Randy said he was in it to win it; Paula said he was fantastic and picked a great song; and Simon said that the competition properly started tonight, and that Chris was soulful and had a good vocal for the song.

(2) Melinda Doolitte - Should I just skip her? I think we all know what they will say...but, anyway...Randy said that she's got it all together and is a serious pro; Paula said that there is no one like her and called her magical; and Simon told her to not act surprised when he said that she was incredible, had great vocals, was in the master class, didn't copycat the song, and made him believe that she had recorded it originally.

(3) Blake Lewis - Randy said that he chose an amazing song (No, John Lennon's song about there not being a heaven or a hell...well, guess where he ended up?) and did an OK performance; Paula said that she enjoyed and and could finally see some emotion in him; and Simon said that it was sincere.

(4) LaKisha Jones - Randy said it was a good song choice; Paula said that she is a powerhouse of vocals but the song just couldn't compare to the Fantasia version; and Simon said that he prefers Fantasia, still has an issue with her shouting, but found her confident in a good song choice.

(5) Phil Stacey - Randy said that it was a solid performance and a very good song; Paula said that it was his best (last week, Country Week, was his BEST!!!); and Simon said that last week suited him better.

(6) Jordin Sparks - Randy said that she was one of the best vocals ever on the show in six seasons and was the hottest that night; Paula said that she did a lovely job, was glorious, and had great vocals; and Simon said that she was fantastic and could have a record right now.

It was a good night, but a little boring. I didn't really like any of the songs. Maybe next week will be better.
