IDOL TOP 6/7!! Rock Week with Jon Bon Jovi

It's rock week with Bon Jovi. Classic Rock songs or songs written by Jon Bon Jovi are the order of the day. Live blogging is possible, my baby is sleeping and dinner should be done. YAH!!!

49 minutes till showtime. Should be great. Have to think Chris and Lakisha are very vulnerable.

Ok, its ONLY Bon Jovi songs.

Phil first. I thought he was really good, good energy singing a song that's really corny wordwise anyway. (Sorry fans!) Simon has no real use for Phil it seems.

Jordin was a bit of a mess though entertaining. Awful song choice for her. Impossible song to sing without sounding karaokish. She got blasted by the judges.

Lakisha showing personality, taking a more obscure song (This Aint a Love Song) and just completely OWNING it in a way that she hasn't in what seems like forever. Simon loved it. Totally throws off the dynamic of the votes cause she coulnd't have been high last week, but she will be this week I think.

Blake completely turned YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME upside down. Totally difficult to explain, he beat boxed, made it kind of reggaeish, BUT did close with 30 or so seconds of the chorus shouted out the way it needed to. Most original idol performance ever. Just great....

Chris was pretty good although he couldn't really handle the song. I wonder if his fans can save him. Wanted Dead or Alive was a brave choice, and he did ok but I just wasn't loving it.

Melinda closed off with HAVE A NICE DAY. It was pretty good, as always. To me, if you saw Lakisha or Blake you can see what Melinda doesn't do, she doesn't own the song although she's always, `100% of the time one of the top three performances.

Great show! Bon Jovi was honest, and obviously coached them well as they were very solid.

It's GEORGE BUSH! Um, ok. Best to say nothing.

Live blogging here too! :-)

Damn, missed Phil. I always get in to catch the second person, so I start with Jordin...I'd say her second to worst performance. Not all that bad, but just seemed to be struggling. Maybe "Never say goodbye" would've been a better choice? At least she took a risk.

Lakisha was gooood, and smart song choice; not a rocker so she took something soulful which works to her advantage. Her tube top though was horrendous!!! It looked like a big red lip on her chest! I was thinking she and Chris, or Phil would go home, but not sure now!

FINALLY, someone brought the house down, yo! Blake was really cool and entertaining. Liked his shorter haircut, but color is too drab for him.

Chris...pretty good and not much "Timberlake" action tonight. Whew!

Melinda should be interesting. The coaching part was funny..."take it to church!" I'm sensing Tina Turner here (ah, and Randy, Simon concur). The girl can rock though!

Just caught recap of Phil and liked it. He's grown on me the most.

The weakest were Chris and Jordin this week cuz Lakisha redeemed herself from last week. I'm torn! Chris has to stay for me to stay in the pool!!!

All in all, a very entertaining show with energy! And Bon Jovi is so much better looking now than who I grew up with. lol!

this week was strange in that, my first reaction to Jordin was SHES IN TROUBLE and Lakisha was YES! SHES BACK!

but neither are necessarily true due to the fact this week is like the 1/2 of 1 1/2 weeks of voting.
