Even if you don't watch American Idol, turn the TV to it now.

OMFG. Sanjaya's hair.

I knew with this being Gwen Stefani night, he'd do something tragic to his hair, but OMFG.

:rofl:

3. It's a faux-hawk.

4. think of a rooster

[Serendipitous]

5. Fauxhawk

really really bad one.

[Maddy McCall]

6. It's not just a fauxhawk...not by a long shot.

It's seven ponytails in a row, from brow to nape, with all of the ponytails teased out in true eighties style.

It's heinously funny. :rofl:

[Squatch]

2. Gwen Stefani is drop-dead gorgeous.

[Maddy McCall]

7. She certainly is.

Not a fan of her music (since she left No Doubt), but she's bombshell gorgeous.

8. I'm not sure what was worse...

his hair or his singing...it was all just laughably bad tonight

[Maddy McCall]

9. It was...

terrible.

I think Melinda's got it in the bag. She's great.

:hi:

[Squatch]

10. I don't think she'll end up being *the* American Idol in the end

11. I just saw his hair ...

is it wrong for me to vote for him just so I can see what the hell he does next week ?

But I don't like any of the contestants this go round .

[Maddy McCall]

12. No, it's what I'm doing.

:D

He's the most interesting thing about the show. :rofl:

:hi: Carolina.

14. Hi Maddy !

:hi: Maddy !

13. OK, here's my analysis for this week

Gina - a great performance that was full of feeling. Made the Pretenders proud. That's the kind of talent I saw when she did the Evanescence song.

Haley - she was pleasant, but too cutesy. If she could project better, she'd do well on Broadway.

Blake - not as unique, but the song allowed him to show he has a nice voice behind the flash.

Jordin - picking a contemporary No Doubt song was wise, but the song didn't allow her to show off her voice. Even on Gwen's version, the background singers really help make the song. A step down from an impressive performance last week.

LaKisha - Donna Summer was perfect for her. She made it sound fresh and new!

Chris R. - well, what can I say. His tone again brought down the song IMO.

Chris S. - had to agree with the judges. It sounded like a performance from a Police Roast event.

Sanjaya - the problem was he was way too flat. Not as much of a disaster as I expected when I heard he was doing that song, though. The hair WOULD be bad off stage.

Melinda - solid, but I'm worried she's going on autopilot too much.

Phil - verses too devoid of personality. Soared nicely a bit in the middle, though.

15. Sanjaya's hair lets him survive another week

I'd say either Chris Sligh or Haley goes this week.

Haley obviously didn't take McPhee's strategy of less clothing = more votes that close to heart since she seemed to abandon it after only one week.
