It's all about the Jerz

You know in that GnR video where they're flashing that "Where's Izzy?" sign? I kinda wanted someone to have a "Where's Richie?" sign. Well, maybe tomorrow night. Meanwhile OMG Ryan is HAWT when he pairs stubble and an open necked shirt with trousers that actually fit.

So true story: When I was at Nimbus, ali_wildgoose, aegeus and I drove over to the grocery

I couldn't bring myself to answer the first question. I HAVE NO IDEA. *mimblewimble*

[jlh]

Me neither! I so totally cannot call this. I don't think it's Jordin, Melinda or Blake, but after that, who the final member of the final four is, I do not know. I do know that I'd rather not hear Phil sing some fucking Bee Gees song.

[lessthangreat]

*sigh* I really, sincerely wish that I had never heard Phil sing ever, to begin with. And I'm really pissed off that he insisted on doing well last night, so now the chances of him getting voted off are a lot less than I thought they were.

Please, God, please let it be LaKisha and Phil. Otherwise, I (along with the rest of LJ) will have a personal meltdown of epic proportions.

Hee, I actually made a post regarding AI simply because of Blake. Because he rocked. Like a mad, mad, rocking thing. I love him terribly. ♥ And I'm with you on the CD thing - I will definitely be purchasing that the instant it comes out. So much love.

I honestly think Chris might be in some trouble this week. I voted for him 15 times (I, er, voted for Blake about 25x or so - yes, I am a fangirl!) but even so, I'm rather nervous. I kind of think Lakisha might be the other one in some trouble, but it's really hard to judge, especially since they're combining the votes from last week with the votes from this week. All I can say is that I'm really glad I don't have to close tomorrow night so I'll be able to watch the show firsthand.

It sucks when I don't have a clear sense of last week's votes. There are too many moving parts for me to make a prediction this week. If Chris goes I'll be soooooooo sad. If Kiki goes, not so much. But if the two of them go I'll be kind of annoyed because I'd rather hear either of them sing Bee Gees than Phil, who will probably something awful.

I dunno, the hour long results shows can be really brutal, and now that they're not teasing Idol Gives Back I'm not sure what the hell they'll be doing. I mean, group song, JBJ song, eliminations, Cresty's stupid man at the Farmer's Market, that leaves about 20 minutes of program time for random bullshit. So it's more increasing racheting up of OH NO.

I haven't been such a fan of Blake the past few weeks - his unadorned singing doesn't stand out at this stage - but I have to join the chorus tonight. It was a great mix of singing and style, which he has trouble balancing sometimes. Loved him, loved Melinda, enjoyed Lakisha, grudgingly accepted Phil, winced for Jordin, didn't like Chris at all.

[jlh]

I actually was surprised that Chris could find any grit in his voice whatsoever. I think I came in with low expectations.

What amazes me about Blake is that he's been able to get through what were really tough weeks for him while only barely grazing the bottom three, and he's clearly the best musician on this show, maybe the best instinctive musician this show has ever had. Sligh was willing to fuck with things, but he often made them sort of more boring and took their actual spirit out of them, while when Blake rearranges, the essential core of the song remains. I don't know if he'll make the finals, but I am easily more excited about his recording career than I ever have been about really any single person who has walked across that stage.

I really felt Maybe I'll be Saturday Night was missing here. That song was made for a show like this, with the slow start and huge finish. OTOH there was no one who could have really pulled it off. Bo is the closest I can imagine.

[jlh]

Good call, but yeah, no rock boys left. In fact, no rock boys in the top 24 even, IIRC, and that surprised me as Daughtry was so successful and you know that he showed up because of Bo, so I figured that there would be more rock boys, but maybe they're still too worried about their cred.

What did you think of Blake? Also, call me; there's someone I want you to meet before you flee for the left coast.

[eilujspark]

Is it me or does Ryan seem to HATE Phil? He's so uncomfortable with him up on stage. That laugh was totally a laugh of "I. Can't. Stand. it." And I don't think I've seen him remove his arms from someone's shoulders faster than that since Dunkleman.

OMG the face touching!! GAH!

Bout time someone called Chris on his Timberfakeness too.
