We know Melinda will be in the finals and now it appears that she will be joined by Jordin. Melinda is technically the much better singer after all she is a professional singer, even if it was as a back up singer. Jordin is 17! However, Jordin brings a freshness to her songs. When Melinda sings we see the craft and know how much preparation it requires to sing like she does. When we see Jordin sing, it seems effortless. I once watched John McEnroe play doubles tennis at the Memorial Coliseum. He was playing up at the net. I was awed by how casual he appeared and how deadly his volleys. He was a master swordsman with his racket. That's Jordin.
Melinda Doolittle sang Love You Inside Out and How Can You Mend A Broken Heart - she really can sing and she really interprets the song. Top two!
Blake Lewis sang You Should be Dancing and This Is Where I Came In - Blake chose one good song and the beat boxing and the moon walks and Devo moves are getting old. Bottom two.
LaKisha Jones sang Stayin’ Alive and Run to Me - I missed the falsetto in the first song, Maybe she chickened out. I don't care for the heavy handed way she sings. Bottom two.
Jordin Sparks sang To Love Somebody and Woman in Love - The first song was the song of the night. The second was short of Streisand, but she's only 17! Top two.
