I tried to donate during last week's show but couldn't get through on line or by phone, even in the morning. The problem in Africa is stifling.I will still donate, probably directly to the one of the organizations. Did anybody else have that problem?

Yeah, took forever! They announced over $70 million so far...say what you will about the show, that's some serious money for such an important cause!

I thought it was mixed last night......I have said from the top 12 show that I thought Jordin and Blake were going to be in the final and I still think that, but I gotta tell ya, I didn't care for what Blake did last night at all...now the misses loved it, so I guess Simon is right again....half will love it, half will hate it.....no doubt the guy has talent, but I thought that was a mess.

Now for the rest....As much as I hate to say it, I think Phil was hands down the best. Melinda and Lakesha were just okay....Chris would have been okay too, but where the hell is the fashion coordinator. How the hell are you gonna get up and sing Dead or Alive in tennis shoes, a lime green t-shirt, white belt, and members only jacket??? WTF! So for that, he needs to go....I thought Jordin was by far the worst of the evening.....Who do I think is going home......Chris and Lakesha....

Let's not get carried away

I was so disappointed in Jordin. Voted for her for a couple of hours though so hopefully she will make it through.

Chris and Phil should go home. They were both OK, but nothing special all season.

Blake was on top last night. Even my husband said it was good. (He butchered EVERYONE else except Melinda.)

Melinda and Lakisha were good.

Overall, Bon Jovi is not fair to have some of them sing.

Bon Jovi is tough for the women one would think yet Lakisha and Melinda were excellent, for Lakisha...it was all about song choice, she picked the perfect song for her voice and performance style. Melinda can sing anything...there is no question anymore that she has more talent than the rest. Jordin finally showed her lack of experience and youth, she picked a terribly difficult song (first mistake), having what appeared to be two midgets playing guitar on either side during her performance (she sure is tall) was the second, and losing her composure a bit during the performance was the third. Blake was wonderful...his skills lie in arranging and he's absolutely fearless...voice is better than I first thought. Chris and Phil are nice guys with talent but they simply can't match the rest, Phil could very well have a future in country music however. Tonight? Probably the bottom three will be Phil, Chris and LaKisha. Last week's huge vote total may doom LaKisha as she had to be pretty low...it will be interesting as Jordin could possibly drop into the bottom three but I doubt it. Final two? Melinda and either Jordin or Blake...that spot is up for grabs now!
