Diana Ross sounds weird, and I think she took a few sips out of Paula's glass.
I tuned in late. I think I saw Phil in the bottom 3, and the last spot in the bottom 3 will be either Sanjaya, who should leave, or Haley, who I picked to leave last week in my ultimate week-by-week predictions.
Won't be surprised if Phil goes home though. Ooh, Brandon is the other one in the bottom 3. Heck, I'm not gonna be shocked or sad if any of these people leave.
Sanjaya is in the bottom 3! I love being wrong.
Phil is safe. It's GOTTA be Sanjaya that leaves. Come on.
Sanjaya is safe. Brandon is gone. What the heck is going on?
I had Brandon leaving on April 4 - after Haley, Sanjaya and Phil. So, the bottom 3 are in my top 4 to leave. So maybe I'll get them all out of order, but the top 8 should be about right.

Wednesday... American Idol.... Top 8 Girls
Top 8 Girls. I wish the top 12 could include 7 of them (minus Antonella), because the guys were suckin'.
Here we go.
"Our most groundbreaking Idol project"? Ten bucks says it's the Idol Camp they already advertise on their website.
I missed what Randy just said. It's a live show.
Jordin starts it out. She sounds better without the backup singers. She kinda blends in when they're going so you can't really tell how she is doing. Randy thinks it's hot and dope. Paula likes her zzzzzzzzz, and Simon is once again not thrilled, but she will 100% be here next week. I think the judges now pick comments out of a hat from the past five seasons.
Sabrina is better than Christina, haha. Oooh, except for that note. Wait, this isn't a Christina song. Oops. En Vogue. I think she's kinda losing it and trying to do too much. Still better than the guys. Randy isn't thrilled, Paula thinks she can sing (wow, great insight) and Simon thinks it lacks emotion and it sounds like a hotel performance. But without hesitation she deserves a Top 12 spot.
Here comes Antonella. I actually hope she does great and everyone has to re-think their position on her. Haha, position. Oh no, Corrine? Gonna be tough to compare. It's weird when people try to do songs that are currently on the charts. She actually sounds pretty good though. Randy thinks it's ok, Paula is tripping over her politeness, and Simon says goodbye to her in so many words. She always looks confused when Simon says something bad. Randy thinks she can sing better than she shows; it seems like she thinks she IS better than anyone. I like her singing better than her attitude.
Haha, American Idol lottery tickets. Man, they can sell anything.
I've never heard this song Haley is doing. For some reason, it has the sound of a Christmas song. Eh, not much better or much worse than what we've heard so far. It ended a bit abruptly. Randy wants more "Wow" and "Yo!". Paula regurgitates Randy's comments. Simon thinks it's horrible. Woah, he hasn't used such a big insult like that since the auditions. Ryan is trying to make her feel better and give her some pity. Simon backs off a tad, but thinks it may be her last performance.
Stephanie is wearing an American Idol t-shirt in her interview. Haha. She should make the Top 3 girls easily. But if she has a bad night, people will remember it more. She did seem "pitchy" as Randy might say. And there it is. "Chaka done sung it. It not gon' be sung like that no'mo'." It's amazing that Randy can say all these neutral-to-negative comments and Paula says nearly flawless. Simon thinks she is one of the best but is copycat.
Lakisha (or LaKisha?) wants a hug from Ryan. Hmmm, who should he choose between her and Chris Sligh?
Oh boy. Randy goes on and on about these popular artists and now Lakisha is doing a Whitney song. He's either gonna say it's hot, or start another rant about how anyone he's worked with shouldn't be copied on the show. Or, "another great performance." I wasn't thrilled. Simon says she brought passion and believability. Didn't mentioned "charismar," though.
I think Fox really wants me to watch Wedding Bells. Ok, they talked me into it.
Gina Glocksen! Still my favorite name. She's only wanted this for the past four years? Hmm. Another chart topper here. I think this is her kind of song though, even though I'm not a big fan of it. It's hard to like it now when I don't even like it that much with Amy Lee singing it. She'll make it to the top 12, though. Randy agrees with me, and so does Paula, and so does Simon, but they all think she might have oversang it a tad.
First shoutout to the band in weeks!
Why does Melinda bore me so much? She just looks stiff and plain. I don't know. Except now she's all over the place. I think it's the first time someone has walked off the main stage while singing. She's closing the show and it was definitely memorable, so she'll make it. Randy thinks she could make a record right now. Paula pours on the compliments. Simon calls her a tiger.
They better hurry with the recaps so they can show Wedding Bells on time! They've only shown commercials every three minutes.
I'm going to vote for the first time this year. Once for Gina and once for Sabrina.
Top 3 girls could easily be Lakisha, Stephanie and maybe Sabrina. Jordin and Gina could be the dark horses.
Should be an easy pick this week, with Antonella and Haley leaving. Vote For The Worst wants people to vote for Antonella and Sundance, two of my picks to leave. So, we'll see if they screw me over.
Here we go.

Wednesday... American Idol... Top 10 Girls
First off, is Antonella a porn star? No. Did she pose for those pictures? It's hard to say. Some look like her, some don't. Let's not dwell on it and instead remember The O'Donahues. Ahhh, incestuous lesbianism. It's gonna be huge!
On with the show. The judges seem hyper tonight.
"Ten superlative performers." That's funny.
More dedications! Woo, this should be fun. Let's make this a little more organized tonight, shall we? First up is:
Gina "Say it with me!" Glockson : Dedication - to her boyfriend. She's singing "Alone." NO ONE will ever match Carrie Underwood singing that song. It sounds like she is singing a different verse though, and she does sound pretty good. I'd like her to stick around. Simon doesn't think she is edgy enough, but they all seem to like the song. I like that she asked her boyfriend to vote for her. Haha. Vote 1 for Gina.
Dixie Chicks and Gladys Knight from Alaina and Lakisha! I wonder which is which....
Ryan is looking at Lakisha's legs. Or maybe he really wants some Coke. I like how she talks - not a lot. Ryan is asking her these questions and she's like "No. Yes. Good!" Some people just talk too much.
Alaina "AAA" Alexander: Dedication - to her mom. Let's see if Paula mentions her range, because she seems to be showing that off. It's supposed to be a well-known song but I don't know it. I like it, but she sounds like she is rushing it a little bit. She's got some legs going on, too. She looks like Mariah Carey meets Jennifer Aniston meets Lori Loughlin. Not well-liked by the judges, Simon thinks she ran out of steam which is kinda what I was getting at. Vote 2 for Alaina.
Lakisha "Flint, MI" Jones: Dedication - to her gramma. Not much to say. She's a really good singer. I just don't think the votes are going to swing her way to the end. Yep, everyone likes her, but Simon nicely told her she looks like a big orange (or salmon?) with legs and to tone it down some. No fingers from Lakisha, good girl.
Melinda "Dr." Doolittle: - Dedication - to her "Gails." Or maybe it's "Gales." Man, I hate when people sing this song. I know it's a supposed classic, but I'm not a fan. She does sound good though and the judges agree. Simon says "incredible." Eh, it wasn't leaving me with chills or anything. I think I still like the previous three girls better. No four finger salute from Melinda, but Antonella is showing hers ahead of time.
Antonella "That's Not Me!" Barba: Dedication - to her brother. Eew, she is totally off beat, and I don't know anything about beats and rhythms. Ouch, the whole thing was "rough for me," to pull out a Randy-ism. Well, perhaps she can go back to not doing amateur porn. I don't think she'll be back. Randy mentions pitch again. Antonella rolls her eyes! That's ballsy. She then in so many words compares herself to Jennifer Hudson! Oh boy.
After the break, Jordin Sparks takes on Christina Aguilera? Hey, I thought Antonella was the porn star!
Jordin "Zap" Sparks: Dedication - to her brother. Apparently the guys were more appreciate of their parents! Woah, Jordin's dentist probably has the easiest job in the world. I always thought this song should be in a Disney movie. Ok, she sounds good. I predict a "big voice" comment coming from one of the judges. Ending is a little rough, though. Aw, she's crying. At least she got through the song first. I don't know if she's as good as some of the past 16-17 year olds, but she seems older. Vote 6! She puts 7 fingers up. Ryan gives a pretty funny "That would really suck!" I wonder if Stephanie is insulted.
Speaking of... I wonder if Ryan will say anything about her cleavage. Which is the only good nickname I can come up with right now.
Stephanie "Cleavage" Edwards: Dedication - to her parents. She's really trying hard, she lost her pitch a little I think and she's out of breath. Ends it with a big WOO! She sang her face off according to Randy. Odd metaphor. She is pretty but I can't get over that Fantasia-like hair. She could use a better 'do. Vote seven.
Leslie "Sarah Paulson" Hunt looks a lot like Sarah Paulson!. Dedication - Late Grampa Bob. Who looks like Mr Rogers. NO WAY! She's doing the same stripper song that AJ's-A-Baldo did! I gotta say, it sounds better coming from a girl. Still not a good song though and doing a duplicate song could hurt her. And so could that doopedeedodowp stuff she just attempted to do. Simon just compared that to Paula talking and that might surpass the puppy comment from last night. 8 for Awkward!
Haley "Holy" Scarnato!: Dedication - to her fiance. Now here's an upbeat song! I haven't heard this song in years. She's rockin the cleavage too. "I don't really care?" Geez, damn censors. Doesn't even make the lyrics rhyme! Ouch, she didn't take Simon's comments well. She's crying! Not good... and she's too busy crying to hold up nine fingers. She's gonna blot later.
Saving my fave for last, Sabrina "Gonzo" Sloan: Dedication - to her granny. She's "like 86 years old." "He's all the man that I need." Not quite the song for granny, but oh well. I wanted her to blow me away tonight but I think she was just good. Little shaky on the ending. Vote ten! I would have if I would have watched the show when it actually aired.
Long recap videos. They must have gotten through the show quicker than they had anticipated.
Like the guys last night, there's three girls I want to pick from to go home. those would be Antonella, Leslie and Haley. But, I think Haley will be safe. So, it's Leslie and Antonella for the girls, and Sanjaya and A.J. for the guys. If Nick and Haley both go home, I'm going to scream for not picking them.

Tuesday/Wednesday... American Idol... Season 6 Hollywood Week
I didn't get to see Tuesday's performances. So, I can't pick a favorite yet. But I need to do it early because every time I claim to like one of the finalists, people think I'm going with the flavor of the week or something. I was rooting for Kelly Clarkson and Christina Christian (despite her scary midget belly) early on in season 1.
I don't see anyone that jumps out at me as someone I want to root for. Right now there's 12 girls, 11 guys, and Sanjaya. I think he was lumped in with the boys.
I'm noticing funny names more than the talent so far. Aside from Sanjaya, we have Lakisha, Doolittle, Tranquillo, Glocksen, Krebs, Sundance Head, and of course, well-known porn star Jordin Sparks. Ok, she's not really a porn star, she's only 17. But isn't it the perfect name?
It says on the website that Melinda Doolittle and Phil Stacey are 29. I'm assuming they were 28 when they auditioned, kinda like Taylor Hicks last season. Even though he looked 50.
So far, three out of the first five girls I've looked at picked Mariah Carey as one of their favorite female artists (Final count: 5/12). Jordin Sparks? She likes Christina Timberlake. I really want to know if she said that, or the author of her profile. She also would like to "play piano by ear," which is a funny image if you take it literally. Stephanie Edwards apparently likes the duo of "Beyonce, Knowles." Boy, they need some editing done on these bios.
Back to favorites, here are the leaders:
The Girls like Justin Timberlake (4 votes), Stevie Wonder (4), Michael Jackson (3), Mariah (5), Christina Aguilera (3). Some got 2 votes and 1 which I'm too lazy to list.
The boys like Stevie Wonder (8!!), J-T (3), M-J (4), Beyonce (3), Mariah (3), Sade (3). There was one vote for Lauryn Hill as a favorite, but Nicholas Pedro just enjoys her music. The guys even more 1-votes because of indecisive Blake Lewis, who has a short list of:
Robbin Thicke, Jamaroqui, Maroon 5, Jason Mraz, U2, Gnarls Barkley, Half Past Forever, Michael Jackson, Prince, Sting, Eric Benet, Martin Sexton, Duncan Sheik, M-Pact, Bjork, Fiona Apple, Imogen Heap, Estmerd, Jill Scott, Tori Amos, Ella Fitzgerald and Sade.
Phil Stacey has quite the list too, which includes judge Paul Abdul. Way to hit that, Phil! And I know one of them (Paul Kim?) was going to sing barefoot all the time, but I hope Phil doesn't wear that stupid beanie anymore. We already had a guy who couldn't let go of a hat. Ace Young, I'm talkin to you.
I'm liking Chris Sligh. He put Blake Lewis and Gina Glocksen on his list. Talk about buttering up the competition! (Bad mental image of Chris eating lots of butter...) He's also a self-proclaimed great kisser and he pees before going on stage. Don't we all?
Ok, this is long enough. Maybe next week I'll have a favorite. I'll probably just add my predictions in with my blogs in weeks to come.
