It's the heavily hyped "Idol Gives Back" Week, a special two-parter where money is being raised for charity. The songs are supposed to be inspirational or songs of hope. I will be grateful if we can just get through the night without hearing "God Bless The U.S.A.".
First up is Chris with the Eric Clapton/Babyface song "Change the World". Not bad, but it just made you want to hear the real version. Nice Timberlesque suit. The judges liked it.
This is like a whole different show without that goof that got voted off last week. What a relief. There is a more major league feel. Second is Melinda. I think she did a Faith Hill song. She nailed it of course. The judges ate it up. Ryan made note that Simon looked like he was missing a button. His shirt was unbuttoned like it was 1977. Blake was next. He did "Imagine" by John Lennon. If Madonna couldn't pull it off, I don't know why he thought he could. The song was a little ambitious for him. It was forgettable. The judges were lukewarm. Also he had his coat collar up and looked like an idiot.
It's Lakisha's turn. She better pick a good song this week. She chose "I Believe" by Fantasia. Hmmm. She managed to pull it off. It was good for second place thus far on tonight's show but it wasn't without flaws. The judges largely panned it, mostly because Fantasia sings it better. Uh oh.
Phil was next. Had to get in that mention of how much he missed his babies. He did a Garth Brooks song that had inspired him. He did a good job with it. With that said, how has he floated by this far into the competition? Jordin (above) closed the show with "Never Walk Alone". She nailed it. She is a legitimate frontrunner. Randy said it was one of the best performances ever on the show. I don't know about all that, but it certainly beat the hell out of last week's "Let Give Them Something To Talk About".

Either Chris or Lakisha will be gone this week. Tomorrow's two hour show should be nice and agonizing.
