Phil and Chris Go Down In A Blaze of Glory

The gamble paid off for Blake Lewis this week, and he's safe! Phil and Chris went home in a double elimination. There were lots of tears from everyone,and interestingly Carrie Underwood's version of "I'll Stand By You" was played during Phil's send off, and Chris got the usual Daughtry "Home". Hmmm.

So America, your final four are, Blake Lewis, Lakisha Jones, Melinda Doolittle and Jordin Sparks!

The best part of the night for me was Bon Jovi performing. Isn't Jon Bon Jovi still the hottest thing on two legs? Sambora's a bit puffy in the face, but Jon still looks fantastic.

Next week - disco with Barry Gibb. Yikes!

Blaze of Glory

Hands up if you think that Jon Bon Jovi is hot! And an all round great guy! I'm amazed that he didn't punch Blake Lewis in the head for beat boxing " You Give Love a Bad Name". Simon was right - I'm in the half of the audience that hated it.

Phil sang "Going Down in a Blaze of Glory". Prophecy? Jordin was miserable singing "Living on a Prayer", which she might be doing after last nights performance. Lakisha sang "This Ain't a Love Song" and Simon liked it so much he jumped up and kissed her. Chris Richardson did "Dead or Alive" and it was OK, and Melinda was just like a young, stumpy Tina Turner performing "Have a Nice Day".

It was one of the better episodes of Idol this whole season, but the main draw card was Bon Jovi himself - yummy!

ps. Antonella Barba was in the audience!

Your Love Is Like Bad Medicine

Tonight is Bon Jovi night on American Idol. Does this mean that the Idols all have to sing a Bon Jovi song? I hope so. That will be so much fun. Not. I don't think one of those Idols has what it takes to sing Bon Jovi! And then Wednesday, da da da dum.... The double vote - off, and then we are into the home stretch of the final four!!

Is this fool wearing a hoodie under his white suit? I would have to say that's a fashion no no.
