yeah I agree, it was a letdown. Right at the time you'd expect peak efforts. Of course the music choice had a lot to do with it.

I hope next week is Johnny Cash night. Lets see what they do with that. Or like Somer said, lets give Joe Cocker a try.

I can see LaKisha doing She Came In through The Bathroom Window or Blake beat boxing to With A Little Help From My Friends...that could make me swear off the show forever! I think LaKisha will leave tonight for the reason mentioned, 3 women have to share the vote against one guy, I just don't see three women in the semi-finals.

If they would go back to a country style, Willie Nelson would be the choice...all three girls could handle Crazy for example. Elvis songs would be cool also.

Don't they usually have a "current top 40" week? Maybe that's in the next week, but I think it would be really really refreshing for them right now to cut all this retrospective 70s/80s crap and have them sing....I dunno.....the KIND OF SONGS THAT WOULD BE ON THEIR RECORD ON POP RADIO IF THEY WIN!?!??!

That is what they save for the last week. I think next week is where they pick a song and the judge's pick a song for them.

By the way, I thought Jordin did a good job with her second song.

Well, no surprise, Lakisha went home tonight. One thing I will say, this seems to be the closest group I've seen yet on AI, they really appear to like one another. In past years, we;ve seen this in the final 2-3 but this goes back to about the top 10-12 this year. Good to see!

Can we make that results show anymore painful? The biggest question of the night for me, was "who is Barry Gibb's dentist?" While it's obvious it was a new set of crowns, he sounds like he had 50 teeth in his mouth...as someone who used to work in a maxillo-facial, that's more painful than any bad song.

Well, I liked Pink a lot!

Yeah me too, I thought she was good....oh and that was supposed to be Maxillo-facial Lab....not just maxillo-facial....thanks everyone for not going there....

Don't they usually have one week, where they sing 3 songs? Maybe it's this week....like the contestants pick a favorite song they have already done, the judge picks a song, and then they all sing the same song?

I bet whoever picks for Blake (I bet it will be Simon) picks a song where there is no way he can work his beat boxing into it....that's kinda gotten old anyway...
