Ok, I've now seen exactly one song from this season's American Idol so I feel perfectly qualified to make a selection.

Blake's first song tonight is the one I saw. I don't even know who he is competing against. But since he beatboxed and beatboxing is the world's third most annoying activity (behind Darfur and Elderhostel) I decree he should lose.

I think the guy sucks. Jordin is good.

However, Idols ratings are down significantly thsi year, and I think that is due to the quality of the top ten being WAY down from the last couple of seasons.

But, this is from someone who has maybe heard each singer in the last few season two or three times each. So what do I know?

So each year you vote for the most feminine contestant?

I voted for Clay, Fantasia and Bo. I'm not sure anymore if I voted for Katherine or Taylor; I didn't think either of them deserved to be in the finals.

I thought tonight was pretty tepid. The special awful song was unusually awful. It certainly wasn't written with a man in mind. But, vote I must, so I'm voting for Jordin.

Then, in another hour: Apolo or Joey?

I didnt vote for either last night.The show was dreadful, it was boring and the i neither has star power... I am going to half assed-ly going to watch the finale tonight,, while i remote control my hearts delight to other stations. I am just waiting to see if they do the singing team-up's that they did last year....

And the song that was chosen was not really a powerful one.. it had some great lyrics.. but heh!!!!

Well based on last night, tonight it'll be Jordan. The song choices just weren't there for Blake last night, he didn't 'own' bon jovi like his first time performance and the Song they both had to sing, Simon was dead on, Jordan wiped the floor with Blake which is kind of sad since I do think he is the better performer.

I didn't vote last night either. My wife, who had to miss the show, favors Blake, so we cancel each other out. The kids also favor Blake, but this isn't a democracy.

My next challenge will be avoiding getting hooked on "On the Lot." As opposed to "on the LoT."

I'm safe from anything Tuesday nights because my obsession with Deadliest Catch has made me not give a damn about missing AI or any other deal that might come between me and some fishermen on the Bering Sea. And now they're adding a second show with the guys BSing in the bar after the season's over!

Oh, and um... I thought Blake should win because he has a more original sound than the others. Even if he does overdo the beatboxing.

I just remember last year the both finalists having two different songs? or am i dreaming????
