Jordin
I just love her. Still. That song choice was perfect for her. That’s the kind of song that makes me want to have an entire record of material by Jordin Sparks. I get the feeling that she’s going to be one of the ones to fall by the wayside as far as votes are concerned getting overshadowed every week by the huge voices -- but she better be back next week. She’s spunky and charismatic, and far too talented for only being seventeen years old. Still my personal favorite, even if she's not the best singer in here.

Her voice seemed a bit vacant in some of the quieter spots, like something was missing. It may have been emotion, but it just didn’t make me hot. I think she’s one of the better singers left, but she’s not very endearing as far as her personality goes, and will just have to do better to factor in during the round of twelve.

She was off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on for the first half of her song, but I should just keep that in my notepad and paste it into my review every week. She can’t handle herself consistently. With that said, she (like her vocal bottom dwelling partner in crime, Sanjay) was exponentially better this week than her first two weeks combined and multiplied by fifty. What does that all add up to? Still not good enough.

Simon echoed the sentiment that I noted here last week about how I wouldn’t know her from a Price is Right contestant. She’s not memorable in any way. She’s vocally passable but I still think she’s in the bottom two as far as talent goes in this female bunch. Get the feeling she’s a cut below the best in here.

I want to see her loosen up a bit and let go vocally and with her song choice. It’s no secret that she’s one of the most vocally consistent finalists, but I wish she would establish herself outside of the impressions of already famous musicians she’s gone with so far

Lakeisha
That’s the little bit of “yo” factor that I missed last week. Obviously she is in the upper echelon in this competition. I think that going into the Final 24, she was the one to beat, but more on that later…..

I love that she went with a song that was very much her style. She was a little bit shouty/whiny/screamy. I thought she was on the cusp coming into this week, and I think her performance separated her from what I consider to be the two very obvious worst singers on the female side. I hope that being third worst is enough to get her past eliminations this week. I really enjoyed myself though, for what it’s worth.

STRICTLY THE ONE TO BEAT.
Final Score: As many phone-in votes as one can manage to complete before the lines close.
