Top 3 all Shine on ‘American Idol’
I once again missed American Idol last night due to travel and logistics restraints but Lexie over at Backseat Cuddler was kind enough to do the following review for me.
I think it’s a tough call for this round of American Idol. Jordin Sparks, Blake Lewis and Melinda Doolittle pulled out all the stops last night. It was probably the best Top 3 show to date. Each contestant sang three songs, one picked by the judges, one by the producers and one by the contestant.
Jordin Sparks - A  Jordin did a wonderful, jazzy rendition of her first song, “Wishing on a Star,� which Simon picked, but really heated things up with the producers’ lame pick “She Works Hard for the Money.� Her final choice was “I Who Have Nothing� which cinched her place in the final two.
Blake Lewis - A   Blake went totally beatboxless in Paula’s pick, “Roxanne� and proved he doesn’t need a gimmick. The producers picked Maroon Five’s “This Love,� an excellent choice to showcase Lewis’ talent, and once again, he kept the beatboxing at bay, using only a sprinkling. His own choice was Robin Thicke’s “When I Get You Home� and in my opinion, he won’t be going home this week.
Melinda Doolittle - A  Randy’s choice for Melinda was Whitney Houston’s “I Believe in You and Me� and Ms. Doolittle has consistently made us believe in her. The producers picked Tina Turner’s “Nutbush City Limits� and once again, she proved she’s got moxy. Her own pick was “I’m a Woman,� which, if I’m not mistaken, she sang once before on the show.
As I said, all three contestants brought their “A� game, but someone has to go home tonight. Although it’s a close call, I believe we will be saying goodbye and goodnight to Melinda.
I hope its goodbye to Blaker.

I do not know who this Lexie is but she is has not sense of entertainment show value. She is so wrong. I do not know who will be going home but it will not be Melinda. Time to get someone who knows what she is talking about
CJ:
Who didnt know what they were talking about?
Lexie was right on and her sense of entertainment show value and show evaluation was right on. I was pulling for Doolittle myself and she is for sure better than Blake but the American public wants Blake and Jordin.
