WALK ON, WALK ON, WITH HOPE IN YOUR HEART: Liverpudlians rejoice, Jordin Sparks was
that good tonight. "Stuff Like That There" good. "Summertime" good. Ruben Studdard "Superstar" good. (Okay, closer to "Superstar"; I'll need to watch it a few more times before it goes to the uber-pantheon level of the first two.) It's going on
the list, no question -- she underplayed it and slowed it down early on, even in the first fragile run of the chorus, and then knocked it out of the park towards the end.
In some order, LaKisha, Chris and Phil are the next three to go, then either Blake or Melinda gets to lose to Jordin in the finals. Calling it right now.
What else happened? LaKisha proved she's no Fantasia, just being unable to sell "I Believe"
like the original; the three guys were all competent and sincere, with
Beatbox Blake the best of the bunch on "Imagine", but no one really shone. (Not that anyone sucked, with such a broad theme.) And Melinda's just really good, but I'm bored by her.
Okay, folks, how good was Jordin Sparks?
