Once again the girls showed the boys how it is done! Most of the girls brought their A game last night while a few sucked as usual. Let us talk about the female equivalent of Sanjaya, Antonella Barber. Why is she wasting my time with her half ass karaoke singing? The double standards the American Idol producers are using concerning her porn past is sickening. Remember when Frenchi Davis, that years hopeful, was suddenly kicked off when her pictures surfaced? Why is Antonella still in the running? Looks? Ethnicity? I think that was a lame-o move on the creators part, shame on them! Here is a rundown of my top 5 favorite performances from the girls on last nights show.

#1 - Melinda Doolittle

Melinda once again steals the show. Each week her songs are more and more original than the last and she shows us something we have never seen on American Idol before. What a breath of fresh air she is every week. I love her down to earth attitude and smokey, strong voice. This girl could be our next American Idol.

#2 - Lakisha Jones

Lakisha gave us a more subtle performace this week, but it was powerful none the less. I love Lakisha’s over the top family and how humble she comes off. Her voice is so refined and professional sounding, her voice may be the best one once it is recorded onto an album. This girl can belt out a tune, that is for sure.

#3 - Gina Glocksen

What? Gina? YEP! Homegirl rocked it out this week with her performance of an Evanescence song. She sounded better than the tired ass original song. Gina gets the award for most improved this week. She has a solid chance at making the top 12 now that she has shown America her true colors. We always knew she was a kick ass rock bitch, thank god she showed us that before it was too late.

#4 - Sabrina Sloan

I am getting a little tired of all the diva songs these girls are singing. They make them sound way older than they really are. I would love to see Sabrina do a fast paced Christina Aguillera song (”What A Girl Wants” or “Aint No Other Man”). I am digging her less kinky hair-do, but all in all this was a weak performance.

#5 - Stephanie Edwards

Stephanie is another girl that needs to branch out and get away from the adult contemporary songs. She is a young pretty girl, but we need to see some spunk! Stephanie may have the best stage presence of all the girls, but her song choices are getting tired. I am hoping for bigger things once she makes the top 12.
