I didn't know they sold 100 million. Mariah is up there but may not be at the six figure mark. Writes almost all of her songs too. That alone makes her mega rich.

I thought it started out a little off with Blake, but it really kicked in and I ended up enjoying it alot. I think Lakisha took the easy way out again and should be off, but thats just me. Plus Chris Richardson just doesnt add much.

Me thoughts!
Phil - strong performance.
Jordin - sucked and knew it.
Lakisha - it was ok but I hope she goes.
Blake - very good, different (for AI) performance - hope he gets a good record deal because he knows how to perform.
Chris - sucked.
Melinda - bland & bad choice of song.
Phil - strong performance.

Blakes was the coolest thing I have ever seen on Idol... Phil was good, Lakisha was good but needs to go. Chris was AWFUL but I hate his style of runs instead of holding notes. Melinda I thought was good especially since this isn't her type of music and Jordan was AWFUL but will get a pass.

I don't know; most of the performances were rough for me tonight. I usually like Blake, but that really freaked me out. It was too much for me. Maybe I will like it better on replay when I know the beat boxing is coming. I swear that was like he came into my house and started yanking out my teeth.
I liked Melinda's best, which is strange because she is not my favorite. Maybe it is because she sang a song I don't really know so there was no "NO THEY DIDN"T!" aspect to it. That said, Phil wasn't half bad either.
Chris was really really bad. I was shocked they gave him so much love. Still, I enjoyed it better than Blake's. I hate that I did, but it is true. I like Blake though and would love to check out a cd of his... provided there are no Bon Jovi covers.
Jon Bon Jovi seemed like a really nice guy who knows his stuff. I enjoyed the bits with him more than the songs. I've always liked him (while never loving him), and I would have been crushed if he was an asshole.

Phil was amazing. Melinda again proved how strong her voice is. Jordin was horrific, terrible choice for her (Bed of Roses would have been better). Lakisha sang her song well, but I think she's done. Chris' cockiness will get him booted as the second to go.

Blake played it straight the last few weeks, so he earned the right to do his schtick again this week..........and it was awesome. That might be my favorite Idol performance ever.

Blake had, by FAR, the most entertaining performance in AI history
That was unbelievable
BTW, people who bitch that these people arent real musicians crap on a kid that re-writes songs on a regular basis.
HIGHLIGHT...that drum beat in the middle.
