Simon is so irregular inhis criticism, that I totally ignore him.

Yep, he calls Jordan's song too old and applaudes Melinda's "I'm a woman". AFAIC, it should be Blake and Jordin at the end. Melinda is like an old Gladys Knight album. And I'm not trashing her, seems like a very nice quality person.

Melinda's Third Song

Scene from her homecoming--she got a parade a street named after: Melinda Doolittle Way

Her choice is a rocking blues tune. "I'm a woman--W-O-M-A-N!"

Randy: "I'm seeing the range of Melinda Doolittle. That was hot!"

Paula: "You're in the spotlight. It's awesome!"

Simon: He says that based on consistently great performances, she should win. Later he adds, "I want to see my girl Melinda in the final."

Melinda is like an old Gladys Knight album.

I would love to hear her break out with something like Joss Stone. That'd be great.

I love how Simon calls her "My girl Melinder."

A Blake/Melinda final’s would suck like a Lewinski on a wet cigar.

LOL!

He’s quite fond of her. I’ve heard that this group was a group of very nice people who genuinely like each other!

Jordin
Song 1: Not my cup of tea, but well executed. The dress is just so so.
Song 2: Singin' Donna Summer. She's another one who could be banned. Jordin's tunic top was adorable.
Song 3: Retreadding I Who Have Nothing. Killer dress. Vey elegant. Excellent job as usual.

Blake
Song 1: Sportin' a vest and the funky 80's new wave hair. I do kind of like the reggae beat in his arrangement. Love how the mic flipped out of the stand. Overall, kinda blah.
Song 2: Sportin' a hoodie under a sports coat. That's just an ignernt fashion. At least the vests have an air of respectability. Great performance. I agree with Paula - he's in his element with this.
Song 3: Some song by that squirrley girly singer Robin Thicke. I can't imagine I'd like the original at all if that guy's performance last week was any indicator. I liked the energy of Blake's performance. Musically not my cup of tea, but I like the personal stamp he's putting on all these songs. He's making much more of an artistic statement than either of the girls.

Melinda
Song 1: Whitney Houston is BANNED BANNED BANNED. And someone dressed Melinda in a shapeless sack. She wore those killer heels again, tho. How does Randy *Johnson* say it? "They're the dope, yo." She sang brilliantly, of course - but that goes without saying.
Song 2: Singin' Tina Turner. While I love the funky print on her tunic - it's waaaaay too big for a little gal like her. She sure is a cutie, tho. Oh, and she was brilliant.
Song 3: Hypercute outfit on Melinda. I'd totally buy that - but with a dressier blouse. Singing' I'm a Woman Great of course. But it wasn't fresh and current. She's definitely confident at this point - and that's a good thing to see.

Who should go? I have no idea. Who will go? Probably Blake. Although, Melinda is also a possibility due to the two divas splitting the diva vote. Jordin is young and current - just like the bulk of AI voters.

She’s a young anorexic chick who came out this year.
No Carrie Underwood IMHO.

Am I the only one who noticed that Melinda split her pants?

OMG she did. I had to rewind 4 times to see it. Good thing she was wearing Tidy-Whities.

Poor thing. That's why she had the mic behind he bottom. :o(

I feel bad for her.
