Thanks goes out to Andie who alerted me that American Idol News is featured today at AOL Television. The story is features 10 bloggers making their predictions as to who will win this year’s American Idol.

After quickly looking at each blog in the story it looks like things are pretty evenly split between Melinda Doolittle and Jordin Sparks with only one or two picking Blake Lewis to take the whole enchilada.

I just hope that the last three Idols get a better pick of songs than what they had last week. Yes, the Bee Gee’s were giants in the music industry, but as I read on someone else’s blog, getting black girls to sing in a white guy’s falsetto wasn’t the smartest thing in the world for the producers to do. Can you imagine Aretha singing a Bee Gee’s tune? Or can you imagine the reverse, small voices singing big voice songs?

I think the results might have been much different if the contestants would have had to sing Bon Jovi last week instead of Bee Gee’s. Everyone sand Bon Jovi well, no one really stood out on the Bee Gee’s tunes.

Come to think of it, I believe this week the contestants get to pick any song they want to sing and then record producer Clive Davis picks the other song, a song that should fit them well according to Mr Davis.

Tune in tomorrow to see what happens.
