Is Jordin the next Mariah Carey? I'm still sleepy!

Marian and everyone - Please let us know your opinions on the rendition of the Carousel song.

I stayed up until 4:00 am watching the results show to find that no one was eliminated. I was not pleased. I told everyone that I prefer watching Children In Need rather than the Idol Gives Back telethon. At a minimum I know all the performers at Children In Need, and their performances were much better than anyone on Idol Gives Back. Very disappointing.

Hello Jeff---well I was very comscious of Jordan's breathing, after your comment, but quite honestly, I liked her version of this song. I did not like Lakisha too much--I think she needs to lighten up!!! Melinda as usual was great--the 3 men were Ok, I guess.

I watched half of it, and when it came down to the last 3, and Ryan keeping on about the shock result, I guessed that nobody would go !!

Parts of the show were very moving---I liked Carrie Underwood singing "I'll stand by you", but apart from "Earth, Wind and Fire" noone else really impressed me. And as you say --"Children in Need" does it better---but at the end of the day, I am sure that they raised a great deal of money for this project.

Has anyone seen the video on You tube of Celine Dionne singing with Elvis on American Idol?? It's so well done they really appear to be on stage together!!!

I watched it on Tv last week, and it really was amazingly done---it appeared to show Elvis singing with Celine in the background--looked just like they were on the same stage---just fantastic !!

Oh dear-I really did not like American Idol tonight---I knew none of the songs---nor did I like any of them. I am sure that I will like next week better, with Barry Gibb.

I think it was fairly predictable who was going to go. It is looking more and more as though the last 3 will be the girls. Isn't that what happened the year that Fantasia won??? I still think Melinda will win, with --probably---Lakisha as runner up.

I just watched the Sunday repeat show of American Idol and quite enjoyed it. :lol:
I haven't watched in a while, so now we are down to the final few. I definately thought the girls were the better singers, and so it seems did everyone else as only one guy left now, which I would have preferred to have been Phil.
I think my favouite is still Lakisha to win though. :lol: :lol:

I loved the show tinight with Barry Gibb, and the Bee Gees songs--could actually sing along to most of them !!

Big Big surprise to see Lakisha go---I thought that Blake would definately go tonight. I still think it will be a fight between the 2 girls--still Melinda to win !

Yes, we agree with you Marian, we were surprised to see Lakisha go, :shock: and next week it will be Blakes turn to show his brave goodbyes. :roll:
Wouldn't like to predict the winner though. :lol:
We like the Bee Gees too, have their music and videos. :lol: :lol:
One favourite song is Massachusetts. :lol: :lol:

"Massachussets was also George's favourite Bee Gee song--but I have to say that it was one of the few Bee Gee songs that I did NOT like.

I think Melinda ought to win---but that does not mean to say that she will....

I was really disapponted to see Melinda go last night--she was by far the best singer---but perhaps did not appeal so much to the youth of America !!

Blake was very popular last night--went down really well with the audience ! He is Ok-=-just not my type of singer.
