Phil Stacey, “Night and Day”: 14
I’m torn on this one. You know I like Phil, but what is up with him and the beginning of songs? It just didn’t work for me. Nice to hear Tony Bennett say he has a good voice, though.
Melinda Doolittle, “I Got Rhythm”: 20
This is getting old, isn’t it? I hated her dress, though. Simon said he didn’t think they’d ever be able to criticize her and that was a problem. I loved his answer when Ryan asked why it was a problem: “Because we like being mean to people occasionally.”

Blake shows his smooth moves...
Blake Lewis, “Mack the Knife”: 19
Okay, you already know I’m prejudiced, but I had to give him a five in song choice and a five in stage presence for those great moves. Simon complimented the band, but I thought they were too loud—as usual…

Opening Notes...
One of them is history? That was kind of rude from Ryan, don’t you think?
Did you notice they were hiding Sanjaya in the back so we couldn’t see his hair?
Let's get it started with my love, Blake!

The storm clouds are gathering...
The storm clouds are starting to gather at my house, so if you lose me, you know that's what happened...
Tonight's Show: Swingin' the Classics
Sanjaya told "People" that he was thrilled when he heard that Tony Bennett was going to be a guest, and why wouldn't he? Tonight's classics theme is right up his alley.But wouldn't it be funny if he got voted off the very week he actually knew what he was doing?
"Entertainment Weekly" has a great song suggestion for him: "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off"...
And their suggestion for "Legs" Scarnato? "Makin' Whoopee." If she thought of it, I'm sure she'll do it...
"American Idol" airs tonight at 8 p.m. on FOX. Be sure to join me for my comments on the performances as they happen--or at least as close to that as my fingers and tonight's predicted thunderstorms will allow...

KFC Reaches Out to Sanjaya...
In the category of things I wish were a joke, I would put the following item…
KFC is reaching out to Sanjaya to promote its Famous Bowls. Here’s the open letter from the KFC press release, courtesy of “USA Today”:
An open letter to Sanjaya Malakar:
Congratulations on catching America’s ears…and eyes.
Over the past month, you’ve wowed the world with your original performances. And, your ever-changing hairdos have made you almost as famous as KFC® Original Recipe® Chicken and Colonel Sanders himself.
On behalf of Kentucky Fried Chicken®, I want to serve up to you a tasty offer. If you don a bowl hairdo during one of your next nationally televised performances, KFC will grant you a free lifetime supply of KFC Famous Bowls®. We’re sure America will be as ‘bowled-over’ by your take on this classic look as they are by our KFC Famous Bowls.
From wavy to Mohawk to now the classic bowl – who knows, your bowl cut could start a trend as big as KFC Famous Bowls, which consumers ranked as THE most memorable new product of 2006.
In addition to free KFC Famous Bowls for life – if you sport a bowl cut, KFC will cut a check in your name to Colonel’s Scholars, a charity providing young people with much needed college scholarships. We’re confident that helping students afford college is something that even the toughest of judges would stand and applaud.
Your Fan,
Gregg Dedrick
President of KFC
Now, this information was posted on the “USA Today” website today, April 2nd, but since I’ve been unable to confirm it anywhere else, I’m really hoping it’s a really bad late April Fool’s joke.
However, in the case that it’s not, don’t look for anything to happen with it since KFC is so tied to Pepsi and “Idol” is sponsored by Coke.
And if it is true, I’m not sure I can look at a Variety Big Box Meal the same way again…

Chris' Shout-Out...
Here’s one last thought about Chris Sligh…
During the March 20th show, he gave a shout-out, saying “Hi Dave!”
Dave is the person behind Votefortheworst.com.
Let the conspiracy wheels turn on that one…
