Last night was supposed to be about Gwen Stefani and inspirational songs yet once again Sanjaya's hair will be the most talked about part of the evening. Most of the performances were forgettable including the disappointing Chris Sligh. There is always someone early on who sounds amazing that unfortunately doesn't improve as the show progresses and it looks like Chris is that contestant this year. As for favorites, I loved Melinda's look and then Simon bashed it. Boo. Also kudos to Phil for stepping up this week.

As for the bottom three, Haley took one of my all time favorite songs and destroyed it so hopefully she's in the bottom this week. I think she will join Chris Sligh and Jordin Sparks who was just wrong on so many levels. Gina was most improved this week but she still bugs me. We all know Sanjaya has to go but for some reason America wants us to suffer through his terrible voice and style each week so prepare for more of his hideousness next week. As for Gwen, she looks so much better not all made up but I was more upset we didnt get a Kingston sighting. Vote now on who you think is going home tonight and for more about last night's episode click here. Can't get enough of Idol? Join the AI group here and discuss it all week long!

1i missed this episode, but if they butchered my gwen i dont care to hear it.
2Sanjaya's hair was the first thing I woke up to on the news this morning. What is the world coming to?
3Look at how cute Gwen is in this picture!
4I actually did not like Melindas outfit. The belt was kinda ugly and was not looking right on her for some reason.
5I loved that Gwen was on the show but I was let down b/c I thought all of the contestants were going to be singing her songs.
6i haven't even watched idol this season. was an avid AI viewer but this season has gone so downhill. and that sanjiah whatever kid is SOO EW

And on another note...what was up with Sanjayas hair? Not cute...
8IMHO, Gwen is too adorable for words. Her understated makeup, her outfit and her sessions with all the AI contestants made her look so down to earth and cute. Sanjaya is a joke, Haley really stunk it up for, like, the 5th time in a row, I also could not stand Melinda's outfit (completely unflattering), and Chris Sligh disappointed again.
9I loved Gwen last night! She was entirely too cute and she told the truth! She didn't say everyone was amazing like the celeb guests tend to do.
10I do love her hair. How does she get those eyebrows so perfect?
11Gwen looked gorgeous last night! I loved everything she had to say as well! As for the contestants I thought Phil and Gina did an excellent job last night! They picked great songs that really showed off their voices! I'm not a big Gina fan either Pop but she did do good last night! Melinda still proved she could sing....her outfit wasn't that bad! As for Sanjaya OMG....I can't even understand why he is still on the show but I guess America likes to get a good laugh every week! Everyone else was just blah to me!
12Missed it
Hopefully tonight!!

13And they rumor is that all the young ladies vote for Sanjaya... but- doesn't he come off as VERY fem to anyone else? So fem he's gay?
14i'm sorry, but honestly, everything about american idol is over-shadowed by my extreme loathing for sanjaya. he is horrible and must be stopped. i wish everyone would stop voting for him and let him get kicked off like he deserves.
15etab! YES! I have always thought Snajaya was gay. He's more feminine than lots of women.
16i really like her when she is 'simple' she looks great! and I too Love Blake..such a cutie!
17Loren, before it had gotten too far into this season, and before I heard that it is the pre-pubescent girls voting for him, I though he would be our token gay Idol contestant!
18I'm no expert but there's gotta be a way that Melinda could get a neck transplant or something. Its such a waste that such a great voice is wasted on someone so unattractive. You guys all realize that she's never going to be successful in Hollywood don't you? This industry is about beauty which is why she's only a backup singer-because she's got none.
19Not that pre-pubescent girls voting for someone makes them suddenly not gay or anything... LOL
20ROFLMAO, yelenerz! And, I completely agree!
21is gwen performing tonight?
22i missed last night...
Etab I totally get the gay vibe from Sanjaya! Especially yesterday when he attempted to tell Simon that he was just jealous....talk about very flamboyant!! I still don't get why he's on the show either????? And yelenerz it is a shame that the industry is so much about beauty cause I do believe Melinda has one of the prettiest voices I have ever heard! My dad was saying last night if only she looked like Haley? LOL
23Seraphim: Gwen is performing tonight! The song she has with Akon!
24sweet
25thanks butterfly!
no problem
26That moron looks like Marvin the Martian. What the hell is he(or some show stylist? who takes care of that stuff?) thinking?!? I hate American Idol. My first and only episode that I've even seen was early in the season and it was with the girls..The show bores the hell out of me and I get too embarrased for some of the people there. It's like, some of those people are so horrible, Im embarrased to be watching it or something? Cant explain it..Plus their arrogance makes me angry beyond belief....lol. "Reality" TV...*shudder*
27melinda bothers me. her outfits, her act, her everything. she has a great voice but her appearance ruins it for me. i think i'll have to start leaving the room when she sings so i don't become too overwhelmed with her ghastly presence.
bathwater is my all time favorite no doubt song. i was so angry that sanjaya chose it!
28"And they rumor is that all the young ladies vote for Sanjaya... but- doesn't he come off as VERY fem to anyone else? So fem he's gay?"
29Don't all the ladies love Clay Aiken also? Just sayin'.
Anyhoodle, I haven't watched an episode of AI since the first season. It just doesn't really interest me.
Sanjaya or Sangaya as I like to call him is clearly clearly playing for the other team!
"V.I.P 'cause you know I gotta shine..."
30that or he is a switch hitter t_hive!!!!
31Sanjaya is gay? Whah?
32I voted for Sanjaya again. I want to see how far he can go. Imagine all the money Simon Cowell will lose if Sanjaya is the new American Idol. Fabulous! That hair was utterly demented.
My favorite is Doolittle. She's great.
WELL IM FROM SAN ANTONIO, I HOPE HALEY WINS ALL THE WAY
33I completely disagree about Jordin Sparks--she has an amazing voice and gets better every week. I think she's going to be around for a long time, hopefully to the finale!
34lol t_hive
35poor little boy.... he looks like he's 12
Oh yeah, I like Jordin Sparks too.
36yay Gwen.
PLEASE TELL ME SOMEONE NOTICED THIS:
Before a commercial break when Seacrest announced who was coming up they showed Snajaya and his wacked out pho-hawk. THEN they cut back to Seacrest, zooming into his face. He gave a weird look like "get a load of his hair America." It was so stupid. I'm not a Snajaya fan, but Seacrest is such a tool.
rant complete.
37I love the way both Sanjaya and Blake forgot the words to a Gwen Stefani song and no one said anything!!!!!!!!!!
38PS I have no prob with Sanjaya but Bathwater is so NOT a good choice of song for American Idol!!!!!!!!!
39Chris Sligh and Haley were just terrible. Phil, Jordin, and Chris(Timberfake)Richardson were tolerable. Sanajaya should be put to sleep. Simon was right about the Melinda’s outfit. Her dress gave me a headache.
40I really like Chris Richardson but he did not impress me with Don't Speak. He's not in the bottom three tonight tho. He's second in votes to Melinda.
41To see what his hair reminded me of, click HERE
42I really like her with out red lipstick!
I haven't really paid attention to Idol this year, because I saw the top 24, and it was really underwhelming. I do not think that out of the thousands of people they auditioned, that these were the best.
I think the show needs to stop focusing on the "funny/bad" people during the audition rounds, and start trying to find the truly talented people. I could find 24 better singers at my small town high school.
43ummmmmmmmmmm WHY is his hair like that?? WHY
"I wear my sunglasses at night so I can, so I can watch you live and breathe your storylines"
44Blake didn't sing a Gwen Stefani song and I don't remember him ever forgetting the words.
"V.I.P 'cause you know I gotta shine..."
45His hair is bananas! B*A*N*A*N*A*S (sorry, I had to Gwen)
Style Before Comfort!
46Gwen is gorgeous as usual. I am digging the Faux-hawk. It sure made me laugh. But I wonder how far those Limited Too Frequent Shoppers are gonna take it. I would laugh my ass off if he were to go into the top 3. I cannot imagine the chaos and pandemonium that would ensue if he were to actually win...
47well im from San Antonio, I hope Haley takes it all the way
48Bathwater is also my fave No Doubt song, so I am glad I missed it. What song did Haley butcher this week?
49Gwen looked so cute last night.
