Who Will Get To The American Idol Finals?

May 15, 2007 |

Tonight is the night all American Idol fans and watchers get to vote for their favorite contestant to move on to the finals.

I was a bit wrong in remembering how the show format is for the semi finals. Each Idol contestant gets to sing 3 songs, not just two songs as I had thought. The contestants each get to pick one song, the judges pick one song and record mogul Clive Davis gets to pick a song.

It should be a really interesting show tonight because with this format there aren’t any excuses for doing poorly. Each song will be picked to suit the specific Idol hopeful strong points and play down their weak points. Let’s hope the contestants themselves understand the purpose of this as well.

I’m sure we can expect Blake Lewis to do some sort of Beatboxing rap type song, Melinda Doolittle to do some sort of soulful Aretha song and Jordin Sparks to do a, well, I don’t know what style I would put Jordin in, I guess we will find out tonight. I have to admit I don’t listen to popular music that much so I don’t know where Jordin really fits in. She does have an incredible voice though.

I think we’re at the point if anyone falters at all tonight, they will be doomed. And honestly, I’m not expecting to see Blake make a mistake or pick a bad song, but I just can’t imagine him being around for the finals. Jordin or Melinda would have to trip and fall off the stage for something such as that to happen.

You don’t want to miss the show tonight.
