Somebody send me to a clinic!
When Lakisha got voted off "American Idol" tonight, I suddenly realized how emotionally involved I have become in this damned show. In my head, figured she and Blake would be in the bottom two and that she would probably be the one to go, but tell it to my heart!!!
Anyway, those bio pieces on the last four standing made us love them all the more don't you think? Melinda's little Mickey Mouse fro hair that she says she was "very serious about" and Lakisha tearfully saying that "Idol" is "the biggest thing that ever happened to me in my entire life."
She went out like winner though as she belted out "Stayin Alive" and made her way through the audience doing high-fives and letting lose in a way that maybe she should have done Tuesday night! Seacrest said to her: "You should be very proud of yourself."
She replied: "I am."
On a lighter note, I really enjoyed the medley of Barry Gibb songs the fnal quartet sang including "Emotion," "Too Much Heaven," "Guilty," "Islands in the Stream" and "Chain Reaction." The performers were so charismatic and animated singing together. Blake and Jordin reminded me of mousketeers! Still, that songbook shows you why the performers had a tough time this week in the eyes of the judges (who, thankfully, we saw very little of Wednesday night!).
And is it me or did you not understand a WORD sung by guest performer, Pink? What is her appeal? I thought any of the four finalists had far more talent. As for Barry Gibb, it's either get a haircut or dye the hair.
I gotta believe Blake is vulnerable next week since he was bottom two but with a pair of terrific performances, who knows??
