A pretty lackluster night. The idols sound awful together and their stylists are horrendous this year (especially Alyse's 1970s/80s vacation in Tahiti ensemple).
With that said, who else thinks that J.Lo has it in her contract that her own make-up people and stylists do her up. Every week she looks flawless and there is no way the people doing contestants clown make-up are coming anywhere near Ms. Lopez...
Mary J. Blige performed as well and was good. She is always consistent but I've never been wow'd by a Mary performance. She just has that good but boring factor. I often feel the same way about Alicia Keyes.
The bottom 4 was not what I expected. I thought it would Be Alyse and Shannon (that was correct), but then I expected Deandre and Jermaine (Deandre was safe and Jeremy was in the bottom - not surprised, but not my choice).
Jermaine and Shannon were saved, which was a total shock as I expected Shannon to be going home. Instead they sent Jeremy home over Alyse.
It's kind of sad because Jeremy had a great voice, but after last night's performance, there was really no way he could win.
At this point, we are watching the Jessica Sanchez show...and apparently Jessica has been youtube sensation for years (performing as a little girl) much like Justin Bieber. Kind of strange that Jessica had to go the American Idol route rather than just getting a contract...but American Idol gives tons of attention to budding stars, so it might be just what she needs. What would have happened to Charise if she would have been on American Idol? Where is Charise now?
until next week...

I apologize for all the typos. I rarely reread these before posting. ENSEMBLE, CHARICE...my apologies.
