American Idol Only Melinda Was Truly Great

In their tribute to Diana Ross only Melinda was truly great tonight. Everyone else was just OK. I am really a fan of Chris Sligh and Blake, but both of them just didn’t go the extra mile. Phil did a good job and LaKisha was satisfactory. Here are my latest stats:

1. Melinda - WOW! I’m crying too… Fantastic!
2. Phil - The answer is, “Yes!” Solid performance!
3. Blake - YOU EXCITE ME! But I wanted more… Where was the scat and beatbox. I missed it.
4. Lakisha - That song has been covered magnificently by the best singers. Hard to match them.
5. Chris R - Could be a contender. Needs commitment.
6. Stephanie - Pitch was a problem. Use your head voice instead of screaming.
7. Gina - Drop it down a couple of notes. Harsh tone. No screaming please.
8. Chris Sligh - Smooth vocal. Where are your glasses? I missed them. Bring it!
9. Haley - You are a beauty! Beginning too soft. Stand up.
10. Jordin - Wrong song choice. Didn’t do it for me.
11. Brandon - Halting start. Forgot lyrics.
12. Sanjaya - Weak voice. Strange hair and earrings. Odd appearance. Who are you trying to be?
