Jon Bon Jovi On Idol

Phil is singing Blaze of Glory. Sounds a bit pitchy in practice. Jon just called Phil "brother man." Wow, Phil is good. He is definitely making it work. Sweet, he's not going anywhere, this is really good. Oh wait, two people are going. But Phil was good last week too. Yeah I think he'll be safe. Phil in the final 4, crazy. He's getting the country twang going, which works for this song. It's about cowboys you know.

Simon thinks Phil will go.

Ha, Jordin just told Jon Bon Jovi that her mom is going to flip out. "My mom grew up on Bon Jovi." Greaaaat. Oh lord, she's doing Living On A Prayer. "We had to work a little bit on the melody with her." This might be really bad.

Well, she's ok. The verse is nothing spectacular. It's low for her. And the chorus does not suit her voice. Uggggh. She's trying to bring more energy to it. It's helping but now she's all shrieky. Uh oh.

She's handling the criticism very well. No, Simon, the look works. I think she'll be fine because she was so good last week. (Yeah wishful thinking.)

OK, Lakisha is up. She's being randy with Ryan. "This Ain't A Love Song?" What the heck is that? Jon thinks she's staying. Wow, she's doing well. She might be back. How unlikely that it would come on Bon Jovi week. LaKisha is back, baby.

Haha. Randy totally just said "LaKisha's back." I say it here, it comes out there.

Simon just kissed LaKisha. Wacky. And he said "LaKisha is back" too. OK, so now I need Blake to be really really bad.

What the hell is up with Blake's hair? He dyed it black? What the-? And what does Ryan mean by "Blake is going to stick his neck out." What does that even mean? Is it Wanted Dead Or Alive time? As I predicted?

Holy crap, he's singing "You Give Love A Bad Name" and he's doing something risky. Hmm. Is he going to beat box it? Please be bad. Please be bad.

His take on it is cool but the verse is rough. He's doing his weird vocal record skip noise. And yeah the chorus isn't anything special either. Now he's really beatboxing. What the? Umm, what's he doing? The kid can't really sing. It was all over the place. Paula is cheering him.

Randy said it was hot. Paula said it was amazing. Simon thinks he's a very brave young man. Very true. He thinks Blake will stay. Crap. So who the hell is going to go? Oh right...Chris.

Oh good, he's doing Wanted Dead Or Alive. OK, he's really good too. He's rockin it. Who knew? It's almost a copycat performance but he's doing his own thing with it. But it's the biggest departure for him to date. Now this is MUCH better than Blake. No gimmicks. Just singing.

What? No "It's My Life?" Lauren played a joke. What the hell song is this? Melinda can pretty much sing anything but this is rough. AND it's a song no one knows. Yeah this is her worst performance, which is to say it's a really good performance by any other standard. Hmmm. What the hell is going to happen tomorrow?

What the f- is Bush doing on this show? You don't care about poor people, mo-fo.
