Last night's "Idol Gives Back"

Well, last night was something else. It was American Idol full of telethon-style goodness and schmaltzy "inspirational" songs. And without Sanjaya... it was boring. Really boring! Out of all the performances last night, Jordin Sparks was the only one who really grabbed my attention. What a great performance - it gave me chills!! Melinda was decent, but whoever told her she should wear a big clunky necklace ought to be fired - it draws attention to her short neck. She needs to find ways to look more long and lean! I was also really disappointed in Lakisha's performance - singing Fantasia's winning song seemed indulgent, not to mention that she screamed through most of the song. Tonight doesn't look good for her...
