As for who will be in the bottom three– I’m just not sure. I think Chris will definitely be there. I think it’s actually possible Sanjaya could be in there, as well. But who will be the third person? I think it may well be LaKisha, but I also think it could be Blake.

It’s so hard to tell at this stage of the game. And there aren’t any huge standouts this year. Yes, Melinda is great, but she doesn’t really seem to have the whole package. Blake seems to have the whole package, but is it a good enough whole package? And what about Jordin? Could she be a come from behind dark horse?

I can’t get a really good feel for how the voting’s going, either. Even Dial Idol is showing everyone pretty much neck and neck. So, maybe the voting is just really, really close.

I thought Last night was Sanjaya’s worst performance yet, and I had to leave the room while he was singing. I also thought LaKisha had her worst performance yet. She seemed to be out of key for most of the song and shouting in parts. It seemd like she was having sound problems and could not hear herself sing.

My favorite performance of the night was Jordin.

My Ranking:

1.Jordin Sparks
2.Phil Stacey
3.Melinda Doolittle
4.Blake Lewis
5.Chris Richardson
6.LaKisha Jones
7.Sanjaya Malakar
