For whatever it's worth, here were my reactions while watching...
JORDIN: Simon's Pick: Wishing on a Star
S'okay.
BLAKE: Paula's Pick: Roxanne
Excellent song choice. And nice job.
MELINDA: Randy's Pick: I Believe in You and Me
From a vocal standpoint, she continues to blow everybody else away. You absolutely can't count her out of the running.
...it occurs to me that Season Two's Top 3 may no longer be the best yet. Maybe.
JORDIN: Producers' Pick: She Works Hard for the Money
Good choice, competent execution. I hope she's able to put her heart into the song she's picked herself, or she's probably toast.
BLAKE: Producers' Pick: This Love
Excellent!
MELINDA: Producers' Pick: Nutbush City Limits
She just hit that out of the ballpark. I see my pool selections flashing before my eyes...
JORDIN: I Who Have Nothing
Jordin is back in the game!
BLAKE: When I Get You Alone
If Blake is not in the top two, something is very wrong with the world. That rocked.
MELINDA: I'm a Woman
...I have a sinking feeling that I'm losing my pool bragging rights this year.
Randy thinks it's gonna be Jordin and Melinda in the finals. Paula is noncommittal. Simon commits only to wanting Melinda to make it.
If we were ignoring all prior predictions, and I had to make the call right now, I'd probably predict Blake, Melinda, Jordan as the final lineup, from Idol to third place. But given everything I have riding on Jordan, Blake, Melinda, I'm gonna stay the course.
