It was really something, huh? I remember how when she started signing I was a bit dissappointed, sort of like "oh brother, are you kidding me with that song?!"

I was so wrong. It was a 10 all the way!

Once again, It comes down to Lakisha, Melinda (who I think looks like Bookman from Good Times with long hair), Jordin (My favorite and longshot pick), Stephanie and Sabrina. Goodbye Leslie (sorry Brian) and Haley. Antonella and Alaina get by for at least one more week on thier looks. As far as Gina she was ok, but not even in the same ball park as when Carrie sang the same song 2 years ago! But it's a matter of time for her also.

Why sorry about Leslie?! I'll pack her bags myself if I don't have to see her again.

And Jordin is my favorite, period. I think that with every week she is going to get more and more votes because she keeps getting better and better. And she's adorable!

You men are CRAZY! I agree the black girls in this competition are tops. But do you honestly think that Antonella sings better than Leslie? COME ON!

I am in no way shape or form think Leslie is better than the top five but I think she is better than the rest of them. Atleast she has a unique voice. I am not a huge fan, but I do think she belongs in the top 6 girls. And one thing I do want to see. I want to hear her sing Cher. Her voice reminds me of Cher.

Melinda was #1 last night. HANDS DOWN. I think it is going to come down to Lakisha and Melinda.

I'm with you, but being better than Leslie doesn't say much. It just makes her second-worst.

So even if these guys are right and my ears stopped working, Antonella is still just dead weight going into tonight's elimination, whether she gets through on her looks or not.

I don't know who made that claim, but I certainly don't think so.

I like Leslie, and I put her first in line behind some of the more obvious talents. I rate her as high as sixth.

OK then. I agree. She is 6th. I still want to hear her to belt out "If I could turn back time"

OK, just my opinion, after resting on it overnight, I'd rank the girls thusly:
1) Lakisha
2) Melinda (really pulled into a virtual tie with last night's effort)
3) Jordin (continues to improve...has a chance!)
4) Stephanie (doing nothing wrong, great personality but up against big voices)
5) Sabrina (will get a contract but won't win AI)
6) Gina (best voice among the white girls)
7) Antonella (improved 100% over last week, has a chance to make top 12)
8) Leslie (I actually like her but iffy this week)
9) Haley (same as above)
10) Alaina (pretty girl, voice not on par with rest)
