American Idol Says Goodbye To Lakisha Jones
May 10, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Lakisha Jones was the unfortunate Idol contestant that came up short on the show this evening. We are going to miss Kiki and her soulful strutting around the stage and singing like she knew what she was doing.
At this point in the competition it’s really anybody’s guess as to who will be the eventual winner, but after last night’s performances I thought it would have been Blake Lewis who got the boot tonight. Blake just didn’t rise to the occasion yesterday evening, but apparently he has enough of a fan base that that didn’t seem to matter.
The Bee Gee’s songs were a bit hard for the Idol contestants to duplicate as was evidence last night and again tonight as they sang a Bee Gee’s medley that was awful. I appeared that there was a problem with the mikes during that song, but it still sounded really bad. None of the show’s producers had the foresight to see that only a few people can sing like the Bee Gee’s did. Maybe no one can sing like they did.
It looks like my track record on American Idol predictions is picking up a bit as I picked Lakisha to go home tonight in my final four pick a couple of posts back. I didn’t want it to end up that way the votes came in.
I’m sure there is a record producer out there that already has a deal in the works for Lakisha though. There isn’t any other venue in the world that makes stars out of unknowns like American Idol does.
We only have 2 more weeks of American Idol left, can you believe it? Jordin Sparks, Melinda Doolittle and Blake Lewis face off next week for the semi-finals.
