Given the lack of obvious country-types on this season of American Idol, last night's country theme seemed fraught. It wound up going better than expected, as both Melinda and Jordin returned to previous heights, while Phil had his best performance to date. Expect more country songs from him if he makes it through this week - I figure he'll make his usual visit to the bottom three but be safe (the Dial Idol folks list him as the only contestant assured of going through, but as they don't measure text voting I'm taking that with a grain of salt).
Some of the lowlights were expected - Sanjaya made a hash of "Let's Give 'Em Something to Talk About," while Chris nasaled his way through some song called "Mayberry." Odd that Simon would have chosen last night to comment on the nasal, given that Chris has been doing it all season.
The wife thinks Chris is a goner, and I'll agree with her once again. For the third member of the bottom three, I'd go with Sanjaya, but would not be surprised if it's Lakisha, whose version of "Jesus Take the Wheel" could have gone better.
I have no idea how they're going to pad the results out again this week, but I'm assuming Martina McBride will be doing at least two songs. That or we're getting more group sings. The horror.
