You Give Love a Beat Box
Here's what's cool about my relationship with the FF. She'd totally leave me for Jon Bon Jovi; I'd totally leave her for Gwen Stefani. We're cool with that. It's an open relationship based on alcohol + lust for recent American Idol guests. (In related news, Kid Lulu would leave both of us for anyone with M&Ms and a vague resemblance to Greg Wiggle.)
On to Idol chatter about last night:
Phil Stacey, Blaze of Glory: FF praises Nosferatu, "He's nailing it! He's nailing it!" Yuck. I've changed my mine. The FF and I are sooo over.
Jordin Sparks, Livin' on a Prayer: Love the dirty rock chick look. Too bad she killed the chorus. Could be trouble for my incandescent beauty. Don't give up on her America.
KiKi Jones, This Ain't a Love Song: Not bad. But to be honest, I was too distracted by her bazooms-enhancing two-tone top. Who dresses these people?
Blake Lewis, You Give Love a Bad Name: The kid's got extra-large huevos, I'll give him that. Plus he was smart enough not to mess with the classic chorus.
Chris Richardson, Wanted Dead or Alive: Timberfake is the epitome of this season's perilously shallow talent pool.
Melinda Doolittle, Have a Nice Day: Call me crazy, but she was damn sexy doing that one. Total Tina T.
Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers rock Tampa Bay. To hear the latest "Stuck in the 80s" episode now, 
You gotta give that Round to Blake. The other contestants are a little wobbly after that direct blow to the heart.
The only thing missing last night was somebody trying to pull off "Runaway".
Hate to say it SD, I think you're friend Miss Sparks is going home.

I would rather see Chris leave. But.. TWO are leaving tonight. Chris needs to go because he is horrible, and Lakisha is probably going, but I think Phil should go just because he creeps me out.

I hate to agree with Sparky, but I think Jordin's gone. Guess her mom doesn't know the Bon Jovi song catalog very well; other than "Wanted", Livin'" was the worst possible choice for her. At least she could have attempted the slowed-down, acoustic version that BJ sometimes performs.
The only outcome of Chris' performance is that it reinforced how much more talented Baldy was than Timberfake.
The FF might leave you for Tico Torres as well -- I hear she has a thing for glove-wearing drummers.
