Jennifer Lopez was last night's guest host on American Idol, with a theme of Latin music. All in all, it was a pretty mediocre show. No one performance stood out (though Blake Lewis was probably the best of the night doing a Marc Anthony song, which I guess is fitting). J. Lo. herself was OK, not as good of a guest performance coach as Gwen Stefani or Lulu, but better than Diana Ross. She did help a few people with movement issues, which didn't seem to fully translate on to stage.
Anyway, the wife thinks Haley's going, and her performance of "Turn the Beat Around" was arguably the worst of the night. And while it didn't work for me last week, I'll copy her pick this week. I figure Phil Stacey will be in the bottom three - the guy lives there, doesn't he? - with Sanjaya, whose understated (and mostly in Spanish) performance of "Besame Mucho" may not connect with the 12 year olds who vote for him. Even if it was his best performance to date (which is not saying much).
