The Next American Idol
Melinda Doolittle is hilarious - she talks about how her friends tell her she has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but that she calls it "Equal opportunity" - like if she chews her food a certain number of times on one side of her mouth, she has to chew the same amount of times on the other or if she steps on a crack with one foot, she need to do it on the other foot, too. She says it's all about equality... I love how funny she is without even trying.
She sings "I'm a Woman" by I believe, Peggy Lee. The song has been sung by several people, including Reba McEntire and Bette Midler, but I'm pretty sure it's a Peggy Lee song. But please correct me if I'm wrong.
Either way, it should be known as a Melinda Doolittle song from now on. I think tonight, she managed to come out from underneath Lakisha's shadow and make this competition hers to lose. I mean, I have nothing negative to say, no critique, no opinion beyond knowing that she's the next American Idol. (and the fact that I loved her dress - she looked stunning in it)
Randy tells her she is a consummate pro - that she's ready to go in the studio and make a record. I sure wish she would... Paula gives her a standing ovation and tells her she is so likable and fantastic. Simon calls her a little tiger. He says he loves that she seems to be genuinely enjoying every moment of the Idol experience and that one million percent, she'd be there next week.
So my picks for this week are:
Guys: Sanjaya Malakar, Chris Richardson
Girls: Haley Scarnato, Antonella Barba (I've decided to go with principle - she just doesn't belong in the top 12, even if votefortheworst.com wants her there.)
Labels: Semifinals - girls

Antonella – What can I say. I didn’t entirely hate it. I actually thought it was her best yet, but I gotta agree with Simon. No one should be put through that, no matter whose fault it is (and I think it’s a combination of her wanting publicity and her stupid friends back home putting stuff on the internet for attention or money or whatever) its wrong and it should be addressed. That being said, how in the world could Randy know Corrine Bailey Rae, a relatively new artist my dashingly handsome fiancé and I have gotten into recently, and not 311, who have been around for how long? Because it wasn’t horrible, she’ll probably stay another week, but not terribly much longer. Why? She doesn’t have the vocal chops of Jordin, Melinda, Lakishia, or Stephanie (when she’s on). She’ll be in the top twelve, but she doesn’t deserve to be there more than, say, Gina or Sabrina, who will probably be ousted for her.

Chris Richardson? You're insane.
Steph, Haley, Jared and Brandon.

If I were Sabrina, I would demand a recount. I honestly believe that there had to have been a mistake. Sanjaya does not belong there either. Actually, none of the men are all that terrific this season - I think the women will oust the men before to long.

Why the voting went that way...
I don't think America voted off Antonella. To avoid the drama of Frenchie and crew protesting infront of the Kodak building and Rosie talking crap, the producers did not want that kind of publicity. Especially when she really can't sing. When the producers did that, they also decided that we had to take the worst singer of the night of the so called Divas to cushion the Antonella decision, ergo Sabrina's demise.
