Is this a different show? Are we in an alternate universe? Did aliens come to earth and replace Haley Scarnato with someone else? I can’t believe the difference in American Idol tonight. It was completely amazing and so much better than the last few weeks that I just might continue to watch the show until the end of the season.

Frankly I thought this season was becoming so boring that I was wondering if Idol would continue into next year or if this would be it. After Peter Noone and Lulu brought their coaching and vocal talents to the British Invasion theme of the show tonight almost everyone is back in the competition, even Sanjaya Malakar.

Here’s how American Idol and the contestants unfolded tonight:

Haley Scarnato – Wow, Haley can sing! I’ve been unimpressed with Haley from the start, but tonight it was as if she were a different person. Her rendition of Tell Him by Billy Davis was impressive. Haley is back in the competition.

Chris Richardson – The boy band king sang the perfect song for himself tonight. Chris’ rendition of Don’t Let The Sun Catch You Crying was miles better than last week and after the second good performance of the night, it was obvious it was going to be a different show.

Stephanie Edwards – Stephanie was okay on You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me by Dusty Springfield. I think she has talent, but it just doesn’t seem to have developed to quite the level of some of the other contestants. It also seemed as if her timing was a little off this evening and her song choice wasn’t that popular with the judges.

Blake Lewis – Blake puts his own style to everything he sings and he took the Zombies tune Time Of The Season and made it rock. Blake is one talented guy and will surely get some recognition in the music industry if he doesn’t win American Idol. I just love to see what Blake comes up with every week.

Lakisha Jones – Lakisha was wearing a million dollars worth of diamonds tonight and looked fantastic. She sang Diamonds Are Forever and it was awesome and once again Simon made an ass out of himself with ignorant comments. I think that’s Simon’s official job.

Phil Stacey – I don’t get good vibes when I see Phil perform. I have to say it again, he just looks out of place and uptight when he’s on stage. His rendition of Tobacco Road was as unnatural as ever. He does have some talent, but it’s not really up to American Idol standards.

Jordin Sparks – I can’t really think of enough superlatives to describe Jordin’s performance tonight. She was incredible. I Who Have Nothing is a depressing song, but Jordin did it well. She’s in the top 3 for sure.

Sanjaya Malakar – Sanjaya finally put on a good performance tonight and for the first time earned the right to come back next week. His rendition of the Kinks, You really Got Me was a great choice. He was so out of character on the show this evening it was like he was a new person. While I don’t think the vocals were that good, his overall performance was very good. And with the little girl in the audience that was crying, I think we found out who Sanjaya’s real fan base is. It’s the Teeny Boppers.

Gina Glocksen – Paint It Black by the Stones was Gina’s song choice and she did it justice. I think it was classic Gina although it was a bit manic at times, I thought she did well.

Chris Sligh – Chubby Guy did great tonight with his Zombies tune, She’s Not There. It was classic Chris and the judges, including Simon liked it. Chris will certainly be back next week.

Melinda Doolittle – If Melinda Doolittle doesn’t win American Idol this season, the Earth will spiral into the sun and life will end as we know it. Well, it won’t be that bad, but while the show and the contestants were great tonight, Melinda really is in a league of her own. What else can I say?

I want to congratulate every one of the contestants on Idol for stepping it up tonight and giving us some great performances. I had my doubts about this season, but that changed with what we saw for the last 2 hours. Hopefully it will continue.

Who’s going home tomorrow night? What’s the prediction? That would be Phil Stacey. See ya!

      Snjaya was absolutly terrib;e tonight. I was laughing the entire time, it was the kind of the performance that id expect the judges to laugh at in the first audition stage. He sounded terrible, he manages to act completly feminine every week, yetr the judges thought it was decent. THe best by far tonight was JOrdin, she sounded incredible and the judges didn’t give her nearly enough credit.
