FACEBOOKI just don't like Jordin, she is "Souless" to me. She is good at singing songs taught to her. But she has not lived enough or is not bringing anything from her Black heritage. Who is she going to be? If she beats Melinda Doolittle then I have been right, America has lost any idea of what it takes to be a great singer. You can go to any Black church and fine someone or several someone's that could out sing Jordin.I hope she learns to reach back and bring something from the history of her folks. And maybe one day she will be a great singer. Not a ad for something "Safe".
Jordin Takes the Lead, But Will She Win?

As the competition heats up and Idol’s top six engage in an all out battle for a finale berth, we find our priorities shifting. At first we pledged our allegiance to LaKisha Jones, but, with the finale fast approaching, it was Jordin Sparks, who, with pepped up pipes, won our hearts.
The tides turned for us as Miz Jones took the stage with a flat, unemotive version of “I Believe,” originally belted out by Fantasia Barrino. In a copycat performance that had us feeling nostalgic for Barrino’s raspy vocals, Jones just didn’t do it for us this week and will probably find herself in the danger zone unless America’s feeling extra-altruistic.
Following decent “life anthems” – playing off the show’s Idol Gives Back charity theme - from Chris Richardson and Melinda Doollittle - it was clearly Sparks who saved the otherwise dull day. Already a performance vet at 17, she oozed spunk and sass from her every pore as she sang the Rodgers and Hammerstein original “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” While Jackson dared to deem the performance “The best vocal out of any vocal ever in six seasons,” we beg to differ. However, with her flawless look and pitch-perfect pipes, Sparks wins our prize for best vocals of the week. See you in the Top 3, Jordin!

After last night’s performance round, who do you want to take it all?

Shame on IDOL for making that sweet little 17 year old think she was OFF! That was terrible! She almost fell over when he said she was safe. Possible the Meanest thing I have ever seen!

My vote is for Jordin or Blake. Did anyone see last night where they made Jordin sit there for like 30 minutes thinking she was in jeapordy of going home and then put her and Chris as the bottom two, told Chris he was safe and had Jordin in tears believing she was going home???? WTF??? That was a new low for AI and maybe the meanest thing I have ever seen done to a person on t.v. I know they want the show to be exciting but that was just plain mean.

Jordon is absolutely the best. I am 65 years old and I love the song "You'll Never Walk Alone" and no one has ever performed that song as good as Jordon this week. She is fantastic. I pray she will win.

I would like to hear her sing something she is not yelling - there is MUCH more to singing than being loud. This isn't church, tone it down. Range and ability to sing all types of songs makes one a true American Idol - don't mess up like in Rubin, great soul singer, not too great on anything else - limited, not a total idol.

Jordin is rockin. LaKisha is this years Mendeza (spelling??). She doesn't seem to have that "star" power that you need to make it in the music bizz. I love Malinda, but does she have the staying power??? The rest are great too and all of them, in one way or another, will have some form of a career, EVEN SANJAYA!!! Jordin should win. She's young, beautiful, she has a powerhouse voice and rocks the house!! GO JORDIN!!!!

I love jordin. I thought she was amazing last night. I liked lakisha at first but after that one great performance she has gone down hill ever since. Last night I thought the judges were crazy...Blake did a wonderful job. Him and Jordin are my 2 favs.

I think LaKisha goes tonight. Melinda will win, she has the better pipes. But in all honesty, Jordin could be polished to fit a true American Idol. Whatever that means.

It must sound better live, because Lakisha wasn't so great on tv.

Jordin is my favorite, but I didn't think that version last night was great, her voice in spots sounded shaky... (not that I could do any better) it was great, but not the way Randy stated the best song in all 6 seasons or something like that!
