Definitely a girl's night, I think all of the guys did below average, with an exception to Phil and Blake.
I personally like Likisha and Jordan more than Melinda tonight. Sure the song was great, and it was a great performance, but, eh, I'd really like to see a different side to her. It seems to be the same type of song every week (though luckily the themed nights will change that). I know that's her style and genre, but it's rather predictable, and tonight, somewhat boring. :\
Anyway, this is how I personally ranked tonight (with notes on those that seem to be in a strange spot)
Top Bracket:
Likisha Jones
Jordan Sparks (eh, probably my favourite vocals of the night. She was shaky on some parts, but definitely one of the better performances.)
Melinda Doolittle
Phil Stacy
Middle Bracket:
Stephanie Richardson
Blake Lewis
Gina Glocksen
Haley Scarnato (forgot her words, which is a big no-no, but the rest of the song was actually pretty good, better than she normally does, although somewhat pitchy)
Bottom Bracket:
Chris Sligh (didn't think it was
bad, just very boring. :\)
Chris Richardson (terrible, terrible vocals. Started out okay, but then when to plain bad, worse than Sanjaya's were today,)
Brandon Rogers
Sanjaya Malakar (well, obviously a bad performance. His voice isn't bad, but, you know, part of that song is supposed to have "gusto"? Something I don't think Sanjaya possesses...)
I don't think I'm going to be using one of those sets for a while.
It'll be a while until there is one distinct person I want to win...

Nevermind... I think I've found
my idol. ;D
