….and doesn’t send anyone home packing. “How can we let anyone go on a charity night?” said Ryan Seacrest. So they all get to stay another week. All the votes that were cast last night get added on to next week’s show, with two of them being booted off. Egads! I was only able to catch the last 15 minutes of the show - now I have to go back and watch the other hour and 45 minutes on TiVo tomorrow…

Sanjaya’s mother, Jillian Blith, was arrested back in February of 2005 for growing over 300 marijuana plants. Sanjaya’s sis Shyamali was arrested as well for possession of the drug - apparently she was keeping watch of the family potarama in their garage. Oy vey!



The National Enquirer first broke the news today. TMZ obtained the mug shot of Momjaya. Momjaya got off easy though, she only had to serve 30 days in jail.



No wonder Shyamali didn’t make it through during Hollywood week. What a naughty girl! You can see much more of Shyamali here.

Tonight was all about “songs that inspire” and of course there was major major hype about the “Idol Gives Back” show tomorrow night. It really sounds like it will be an incredible show. Without further adieu, here is my recap:



Chris: He sang “Change the World”. I don’t know…he just didn’t do it for me this week. It sounded a little bit blah for me. Randy said that it was his greatest in a long time, Paula said that it was well done, fantastic, good song choice, Simon said that it was more sexy, better, great vocal.



Melinda: She sang “There Will Come a Day”. Of course, flawless tonight, but I think that because she is one of the older ones up there that is going to be a disadvantage to her - but once again rocks it out every single time. Randy said that she’s got it all together, Paula said that there’s no one like her, she’s magical, Simon said he loves that it wasn’t a copycat performance, vocal master class.



Blake: He sang “Imagine”. One of my all time favorite songs and I thought Blake did an awesome job. He did throw in all of his beat box stuff and for me, I could feel the emotion from him while he sang. Love my Blake! Randy said that it was a great choice, it was all right, just okay, Paula said that this was the first emotional and sensitive song that she has seen from him, and Simon said that it felt sincere but it didn’t go anywhere, he sang it with sincerity.

On a side note…my daughter is heartbroken so I need to contain my enthusiasm to my blog. Heh heh.



The bottom three tonight were Sanjaya, Lakisha, and Blake (totally surprised about that one). Kiki needs to kick it up a notch next week so she won’t fall into that bottom three again and as far as Blake is concerned, I think this was a wakeup call for all of his fans…Thank you America, for finally doing what is right.

I wasn’t the only one who caught Simon rolling his eyes last night after Chris Richardson did a shout out to all of his friends at Virginia Tech. Now Simon tells TMZ:

“I couldn’t hear what Chris had said. I was talking to Paula. My reaction (rolling my eyes) was to what he had said previously, that singing nasally is a form of singing.”

Okay Simon, I believe you….this time.



You can watch the video clip from last night here.
