i gotta tell you this is adventrous re-edition.
blake to me is around the dice
i'll give what,this is the most original version of a song ever on american idol,that was hot baby.
an artist like bon jovi. there's a twinkle in his eyes,
he was diggen of what you're doing,we all do,this is amazing.
lakisha chose a soul singer's song. i'm glad she found this track.
lakisha,i actually could kiss you after that.
Oh,the image of your lipstick on his lips is priceless.
Chrised that daunting task of singing one of our best known songs.
"Wanted dead or alive.
You did your thing.You know what?
This is turning out to be a great night.
You did as much as you could possibly do with that song,chris.
Whether it is good enough to stay another week,I'm not sure.
I'm not sure...
That is what the judges thought.
What did you think?We are here to find out.
bon jovi...how do you think that?
I love bon jovi.
I do,too.Livin' on a prayer.
Take my hand,we'll make it,I swear.
What did you think?
The most entertaining "american idol" I have seen.
They did a pretty good job.
Except for jordin.
****jordin***
Is that going to cost her the competition?
I don't think so.
Do you have favorites this season?
Chris richardson,for sure.
He is,like,awesome and hot.
He looks like justin timberlake.
I'm a blake girl.
I think blake is amazing.
That is the blake hair-cut.
Let's see.
Of all the contestants,do you remember which one stands out to you?
Doolittle.
That is samenon barbados right there.That is what that is.
Who***?
The winner is going to be melinda.
He linda doolittle.
I thought phil was incredible.
Wow,he rocked the house.my kids.
I have three kids.They were jumping and screaming for phil.
I think lakisha is the best.
She had a tough few weeks.

She can sing.
She is wonderful.And she should win.
Akisha,you are a winner!Good luck.
This is american idol.
The results are coming up.

Let's go to blake.Talk about last night.
How do you come up with these unique arrangements?
How does it work?

I bought a little studio we rock every once in a while.
Were you worried before the show last night?
I wanted to have fun.
I was excited about last night to.
Put everything... all I had and put it into the song.
It worked.Congratulations on a good performance.
Jordin,last night,they were hard on you for the first time in a while.
Was it tough to hear?
You know,everybody has to have their bad week.
And I was just,like,you know what?
That was it.I was kind of bracing myself for it.
At the same time,I gave it all I had.
That is all I can do.
Good luck.***
Phil,you said as a kid,you weren't allowed to listen to pop music.Is that right?
You know,my dad is a pastor of a church.
We were discouraged-- thank you-- from listening to other than gospel music.
We managed to sneak a little "slippery when wet" albums underneath the radar.
That was fun.
Good luck tonight.
Lakisha,one question for you.
Yeah.
What kind of a kisser is simon?
Good.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
