DOOLITTLE'S SHOWSTOPPER MAKES WOMEN'S RACE QUITE A BIT TIGHTER
Melinda Doolittle turned the women's competition into a race Wednesday night, meeting LaKisha Jones' challenge to uncork the showstoppers early. Simon was ready to hand the Idol crown to Jones last week, but this week Doolittle wrung every note out of My Funny Valentine to draw similar praise. Again, Savannah's Stephanie Edwards wasn't far behind the two front-runners. Tonight, Kellie Pickler returns for a visit and we find out if local guy Phil Stacey made the cut.
-- Girls who have a picture on the Internet that shows them on the can shouldn't throw ... : The photo controversy that has dogged Antonella Barber for weeks hasn't hurt her, and neither has her flat singing. As if trying Celine Dion's Because You Loved Me wasn't brazen enough, Barber dismissed Simon's criticism by saying he was wrong about Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson. A fierce, factual rebuttal followed. And still, Barber will advance. Ain't America great?
-- Cowellism of the night: "It was like Randy taking part in a 100-meter race." Alaina Alexander ran out of steam on Not Ready to Make Nice, and Simon called it.
-- Guest Cowellism of the night: "I wish I could sing like Celine Dion, too, but I can't." Randy landed a triple suplex on Barber.
-- Most likely to go home: As of 11 p.m., DialIdol.com said Leslie Hunt and Haley Scarnato were in the worst shape heading into tonight's elimination show.
