SPOILER AMERICAN IDOL

Well, LAKISHA is out and so AM I.. im thru for IDOL 07..

She truly deserved it the IDOL spot. I could honestly care less about JORDAN, MELINDA AND BLAKE.

It will probably go 2 JORDAN, if not Melinda.. but LaKisha was the underdog and the true IDOL.

It seems like her POWERHOUSE of a voice was too overwhelming. I think there is similarities between her and PATTI LABELLE. Patti.. one of the most gifted voices of our time never achieved crossover success. Woman of color with voices like this never get there proper's....

she could sing but she was missing something

it was the thing people accuse Christina of. Singing loud and do vocal gymnastics doesn't equal soulful or good singer.

I voted-I did my part so Im not upset.

Blake was horrible,but the ladies love him. He's not going anywhere rolleyes

LaKisha's performance was better last night than the night before. She'll be fine.

I think Jordan will win, she does have a great voice. Lakisha will probably get an offer from a record exec with her beautiful voice, besides, she'll probably be better off getting away from American Idol.

She is/was the 2nd best singer here. Melinda is the BEST.

She was #4 out of something like 100,000 that auditioned. I'd say she got her props. She's just not as consistant as Melinda and not as cute as Jordin and not creative like Blake.

Besides, the show is all about idols, not artists.

This show is so ridiculous. What American views any of these people as an Idol?

It's just good TV to me. They can sing, but I've never seen one contestant whose album I'd buy. There's no real creativity. But it's a good TV show.

good my friend! How are you? We need to do another party.

AI is so devoid of creativity that everyone's amazed by Blake changing a song slightly. Even me. I find myself thinking "that was as good as Bon Jovi! Oh wait, I hate Bon Jovi" lol

I'm a musician and it's kind of embarassing to admit I watch the show, but it's purely for TV junkie reasons!

the TV ratings for AI r down

last season 31mil

this week 25mil

weeks b4 sanjaya was voted off 28mil

so the total drop is more or less 20%

sanjaya's departure cost it 10%


but i am surprised sanjaya leaving didn't have a more profound effect i was hopin for like a 50% reduction well we can only hope.

Tradionally the ratings for the show pick up in the top5

I've read that she will release a gospel-flavored album next year.
