Default Who\'s the best? A test -

Starting with the semifinals there have now been 72 performances. Quickly, off the top of your head, which really good performances can you remember? Not just "xxx did well in week two" but with at least some detailed memory of the performance. I think this is a pretty good test of who really has star quality.

For me, it's:

Melinda 2 (My Funny Valentine, I Am Woman)
LaKisha 1 (I Am Telling You I'm Not Going)
Blake 1 (All Mixed Up)
Stephanie 1 (How Come You Don't Call Me)

and really, that's about it. None of the others have turned in a truly memorable performance for me - I think that says a lot given they have had four shots, including three weeks where they could pick almost whatever song they want.

This is exactly the same as my list, except I thought of Somehwere Only We Know and Virtual Insanity for Blake instead. Not sure this really correlates with winning, though. For all of last season I score Taylor and Katherine at 2 and Elliot at 1.

The memorable performances for me are that Lakisha song, Gina (Call Me When You're Sober), and that time Fantasia sang.

Every single Melinda perforamnce
The last two Jordan performances
The first Lakesha performance
The first Blake performance
The 2nd Chris Richardson performance

These were the best IMO, maybe forgetting one, but Melinda is basically the best ever.

Going by which were most memorable, the best were -

Every Melinda performance
The first Lakisha performance
Gina singing evanescence
Blake singing Keane
Sanjaya doing the Hula

Those are what I think of when I think of this season.

Blake's only stand out in my mind was ironically the only song he didn't beat box on: "Somewhere only we know" Keane

He is the most overrated one in this competition so far. And that's saying a lot. Of course he looks decent compared to the other males because they all suck for the most part!

Melinda: Anything she does is better than anyones else's best night (Last season she would have finished in the top 4 but this season she's easily the best IMO)

Lakisha: And I'm telling you (Everything else has been meh IMO)

Chris: Geek in the pink

Funny... I think the blonde hippie looking chick and the really hairy guy (we're all a little poor inside) auditions were both better than most of this season.

Loved loved LOVED Castro's audition but I heard he couldnt' cut it in Hollywood week. I would buy a single of him singing that song acapella.

I really thinkt he judges would like to have some of their choices back. They get credit for "discovering" the next Idol, but they dropped the ball on who made it onto the show.
