Well done, ladies of American Idol! The ladies were much better than the boys last night!!! There were 4 that really stood out to me - Lakisha (the last to go) was awesome, but I hope Stephanie (the 1st to go) doesn't get forgotten. Sabrina was really good and so was Melinda Doolittle (the former background singer). I think Jordin is a wildcard (the 17-year-old). She was really good last night and with a little more practice, I think she could blow people away. Sabrina mentioned a strategy that I have been saying since Season 1 - don't sing ballads!!! Ballads don't have a good track record.
Here is my advice:
Choose upbeat songs with strong vocals. And don't choose a song that we have all heard a million times. A perfect example of what NOT to sing would be R.E.S.P.E.C.T. How many times has that song been used in commercials and movies?! Sing something that people may recognize, but don't know so well that we could hear it in our sleep. Of course, I know all the contestants, and America, are dying to hear what I have to say!
So, here is who I think will go home:
Girls - Amy Krebs & Antonella Barba. I'm making Leslie Hunt an alternate.
Guys - Rudy Cardenas & Nicholas Pedro. I'm making Paul Kim an alternate.

Tune in tomorrow for my official Academy Awards picks!

haha, i entitled my prediction post "Girls Rule" leaving out the "boys drool." Great minds think alike. I was just checking out other peoples predictions to see if I am on the same wavelength. We have the same favorite 4 and I agree with you on the 17 year old. I posted my duds and the guys over at my blog if you are interested. ;)

oops, sorry i posted twice. It told me the first one didn't take ;)
Ok, you did better than me. 3 out of 4 (if you count your alt). I only guessed one right. I can't believe Antonella made it through. She must have a lot of friends. Or at least a few who just kept calling her number.
