Barry Gibb Night
(Click the idol talk button to see more reviews!)
Melinda
“Love You Inside and Out”
Good performance, not my favorite. It was just lacking the typical Melinda “Yo” factor.
Blake
“You Should Be Dancing”
Blake sure is having fun during this performance. I wonder if it’s that echo feature they have going. The Music just cut off Simon again. (ROFL)
LaKisha
“Staying Alive”
So good to see some personality from LaKisha.
[DH just asked me what I thought of the night so far and I stated that I was having difficulty finding things to write... (deep breath) Five more performances...]
Jordin
“To Love Somebody”
I thought the vocals from the practice session were better than Jordin’s actual performance. Even though she was a little under the melody, it was still a good performance.
Melinda
“How Can You Mend a Broken Heart”
How funny (cute funny) she was in her footage with Barry. I think it’s smart not to sing lyrics about missing home or leaving. [When I heard Phil sing "I'm going down- in a blaze of glory" last week, I knew he'd be going home. At least he sang it well.] Better 2nd performance from Melinda. Not as exciting as other weeks, but technically sound.
Blake
“This is Where I Came In”
Interesting funky beat in the background. This is the first song of the night that I got into, but I was distracted by the left shoulder of his sweater… Sad, I know. But did you see how the argyle ‘ended’?
LaKisha
“Run to Me”
At least no shouting so far 
She showed a lot of control in the verses. I’m guessing because she was hoarse.
Jordin
“Woman in Love”
Great song selection for Jordin. I don’t think it was “pagent-y”; I thought Jordin was going for classy. It was a good color on her and didn’t require double-stick tape like previous contestants.
Best vocals (non-pitchy) of the night: Melinda
Best performance of the night: Jordin
Can we just skip to the finale??!! Barry Gibb may be a legend in his own right, but performances of current music seem to be more appealing. Another night like tonight and I might fall into a deep sleep… … …
I think tonight’s contestants did as best as they could with their song choices tonight. I did the best with the recap, although, it might be quite unexciting.
