Stayin' Alive


Barry Gibb. Oh. My. God. When Barry first appeared on the screen as a "mentor" last night I wondered who it was! Time has not been good to him. I never would have recognized him if I saw him in the street. And having said that, Barry was the most interesting thing about the whole American Idol last night.


Melinda was up first and mechanically sang her way through a Bee Gee's song. It was OK. No one liked it, basically because half way through the song, you forgot what she was even singing. Her second song was a bit better, but I still can't remember what it was.


Blake should be off that show tonight if there is any justice in the world. The beat boxing has to stop. I'm sure it's great for 12 yr old girls, who have no clue about he songs he's ruining, but for the rest of us, to take these extremely well known songs and just randomly beat box through them is a crime against music in general. He has to go.


Lakisha. I thought that she was the best of the night last night, while hating what she did to Stayin' Alive. She might go home because of her stubborn refusal to ever take advice from any of the mentors, and the fact that she changed the songs up too much.


And finally Jordin. I'm sure she's safe because he first song was so good and she has a fantastic personality. Barry Gibb liked her the best as well.


All in all, another b-b- b-or-ring Idol.
