Several observations:
- Poor Sanjaya has become such an object of ridicule that he can't get a fair chance each week. People are laughing at him before he opens his mouth. His reputation colors people's impression of his performance. It is the "Emperor's New Clothes" phenomenon -- it would take a lot of courage for someone other than a tween girl to acknowledge a good performance, although the judges, to their credit, gave him his due this week.
- Too bad for Haley that prisoners don't have access to cell phones. She is probably losing 1,000,000 votes per week from male inmates who love her legs, even if she can't sing as well as the other 3 girls.
- LaKisha dancing was met with snickers.
- Melinda is right - she's not sexy. But she may be the nicest and most talented. It's time to get over the "deer-in-the-headlights" look every time she finishes a song, as if she can't believe everyone loves her. She needs to act like she deserves it. LaKisha has more confidence and maturity.
- Jordin and Blake were the best tonight and the most popular with the inmates. Some of the Latin guys liked Blake's performance in particular.
- According to an informal poll, here at FPC Pensacola, Phil and Haley will be the next two to go, followed by Sanjaya and Chris. The top 4 are pretty clear: Melinda, LaKisha, Jordin and Blake. I think any of them could win. I wish they could just cut to the Final Four and let them play it off for a few weeks.
PS I think prison is bringing out my inner "Simon Cowell."

The winner of American Idol this past season was Kris Allen - from my hometown.
When he made the final three, it was neat to go downtown and watch him in the parade, as well as the free concert.
