There are 3 rounds tonight. On the first round, the final 3 sang the song chosen by one of the judges for them. On the second round, the final 3 sang the song the producers has chosen for them. And on the last round, the final 3 sang the song that they have chosen for themeselves.

In round 3, Melinda Doolittle and Jordin Sparks played it safe because they both picked their most applauded performances in the past as their 3rd song. This is the first time that a contestant(s) made a rerun in the final 3. I must say, it’s a very bad decision specially to Jordin who suffered some negative comments tonight. Melinda should give Randy the credits tonight because his song choice I Believe in You and Me is the best performance of the night that earned Melinda the ticket to the finals. And bravo to Blake Lewis who didn’t choose to sing Time of the Season (his best performance) but instead he brought a fresh new song to the table.

My Top 3 performances tonight:

1st Melinda Doolittle – I Believe in You and Me
2nd Blake Lewis – When I Get You Alone
3rd (tie) Jordin Sparks – She Works Hard for the Money
and Melinda Doolittle – Nut Bush City Limits

Here’s My Take and Some Fearleass Forecast:

Who Will Make It in the Finals
– Melinda Doolittle and Jordin Sparks
Who Should Make It in the Finals
– Melinda Doolittle and Blake Lewis
Who Will Get Eliminated Tomorrow – Blake Lewis
Who Should Be Eliminated Tomorrow – Jordin Sparks (based on her performances tonight)

So it’s Melinda VS Jordin next week. But i would be delighted if it’s Melinda VS Blake next week. The beatboxer showed class and determination tonight.
