Another Kiss From a Rose?

Last week it was Jack Black and Seal. This week it's LaKisha and Simon, with actual lip-lock after her performance on this week's Bon Jovi themed American Idol.

Don't get too worked up about it, it was a kiss on the lips but not worth the photons being generated on chat rooms and such. The most notable thing about it was Simon's inability to get LaKisha's lip gloss off of his lips, which was reasonably funny.

LaKisha's performance was pretty good, the best she's done in some time, but it was another night of above-average performances - with one exception. Jordin had her first truly awful night, as her rendition of "Living on a Prayer" was doomed from the start. She seemed to know this, and agreed with all the judges' criticism, which should help a little bit, though with strong performances from Melinda, Blake, and - surprise? - Phil, Jordin needs to hope she's carrying over a lot of votes from last week.

I still think LaKisha is going home, last night notwithstanding. I'm also going to choose Chris - again - though it's as likely that Phil will go, which is too bad, as of the two of them Phil is the one demonstrating growth from week to week.

The show ended with a taped thank you from W and Laura Bush, and I have to say they may be the most wooden President and First Lady ever.
