American Idol: LaKisha’s Not Stayin’ Alive

It’s not really a surprise that we said goodbye to Miss LaKisha Jones (sorry for getting your name wrong yesterday) last night. I feel like Mama has been hanging on by a thread for a few weeks, and I’m surprised she made it as far as she did. She had so much promise at the beginning, and has proceeded to be underwhelming for the rest of the show. While I did think that Blake was worse on Tuesday, he’s cute enough where I think he’s got the teenage girl vote on lock.

Things I pondered after the show: Who in God’s name let Blake walk out onstage in that shirt? The faux-tuxedo T-shirt thing is like what your embarrassing uncle wears to be funny. Not only would I never allow anyone I know walk out of the house (or possibly even around the living room) in one of those, but I would fire the stylist on the show for letting it happen.

Next—how many years do you need to be on air before you don’t screw up the sound, Idol crew? When the Barry Gibb medley started off you couldn’t hear anyone at all, then you could only hear Melinda, then they all just sounded really bad. Which was not necessarily the sound crew’s fault. I repeat—Worst. Idol. Ever.

Moving swiftly along to Pink being there. Even though she wasn’t there cause that song was recorded for the Idol Gives Back show. Anywho…song was OK, although I do think Pink has an amazing voice. But can I just say girl looked H.O.T. in that dress. Her body is bangin’! She’s always trucking around with her husband, sometimes looking like her thighs could suffocate you in a matter of seconds, but daaaaaamn. She looked good.

Last, but certainly not least—holy-Barry-Gibb-nipple action, Batman! I was scared. They took center stage through his not so good, nobody-really-cares-that-you-can-still-sorta-sing performance. He looks like a nice guy, but I saw way too much of him last night. Keep that at home for the wife, Mr. Gibb.

There’s debate among my crazy Idol pool about who’s going out next. We all think the finals should be Jordin and Melinda, but we wonder if Ms. Doolittle will get aced out because of Blake’s teenage fan club. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Here’s to hoping next week is better. If it’s not—I vow to not watch another season ever again.

Who do you think is gettin voted off next?
