Not a Good Night for Cowboys

I was slightly wrong, but Jordin survived her bad week after all.

Phil and Chris are gone. Phil was victim of the "ironic song" rule ("Goin' Down In A Blaze Of Glory"), and Chris went on his coattails with another cowboy-themed song ("Dead Or Alive").

Hint to future Idols: Don't sing songs containing lyrics about "going home" or "going down" or "going out". Fate loves irony.

So, your final four are Jordin, Melinda, Lakisha, and Blake.

I think Blake outlasts Lakisha, but the finalists are Jordin and Melinda. We need to see how Jordin recovers from her scare, though. Remember, Kellie Pickler survived a bad week last season only to follow it up with a worse week and elimination.

By the way, I have a higher opinion of Bon Jovi after this week. I think he's the first pro on the show this season that actually is a musician instead of just a front man, and it showed.
