Top 7 Country Week with Martina McBride

It’s country week with Martina McBride! (I’m not sure who that is mind you, but she can’t be worse than J-Lo, whose coaching involved bringing Blake in to help Haley (worked great for Haley!) and teaching Lakisha the proper way to say CONGA… (say it CONGA, CONNNNGGGGGAAAAAA………) This week Marc Anthony said he’d like to take Sanjaya under his wing and make him a star… (moving on…)

Country week is interesting, because there are so many country songs that have been redone as mainstream pop or R&B (or vice versa) that this is really a theme that the artists can twist around to fit them. I’m hoping Lakisha, Jordin, etc. don’t take the easy way out and try a Faith Hill type ballad, but then again, it would probably be real good! There is enough variety that everyone should find something to suit them (even Sanjaya!).

I was going to handicap the remaining field, but I think I’ll wait for one more elimination. Phil is looking really vulnerable right now, as much as for his own appearance in the bottom two as the other contestants avoiding it for the most part. Should be an interesting week.
