I think you're right here about those top three, and at first I feared that Jordin would get the short end of the stick, but with every week she seems to carve into Lakisha's hold on a top-two spot. I think that Jordin is coming into her own at the right time, and poses a big threat to Lakisha's chances to get to the very end.
I would say that Blake is the most likely person at this point to round out the top three. As for Haley, let's not get carried here just yet Somer. So she had a phenomenal night last night. I wouldn't disagree with that in any way, I had her ranked top three last night. But let's not get ahead of ourselves and say that she's somehow injected herself into the frontrunners race. If she can come back next week and repeat that performance and carve her own space as the sort of sexy, playful contestant with a great set of pipes, then she's got every right to move into that group. But I'm not ready to annoint her a contender after just one good performance following a series of pretty mediocre ones. I want her to show me that last night was the rule, not the exception...and based on prior performances, I fear that it was not the rule.

Oh I agree, Brian...she has a lot of work to do! One performance does not an Idol make, but the fact is that now we know she CAN do it! We've known the top 3 girls CAN win for awhile...the dynamics will be critical, I have to admit...I don't like Blake, there is something about him that just rubs me wrong. He takes different types of music and adapts the arrangement to his style...so far he's done so extremely well but I wonder, if forced to actually go outside his comfort zone, how will that voice hold up? It's easy to fall in love with Jordin, every week she seems to perform and look better! Right now, I say that LaKisha could be odd man out when crunch time arrives...time will tell!
