So he&#039;s replaced by Michael Boubl..boo&#8230;bubb&#8230;the Harry Connick lookin guy.  How do you spell it?  He actually gets in a shot to make a joke about still voting for Antonella Barba.<\/p>\n<p\/>This week they do the &#034;three groups of three&#034; thing, but when they put Jordin, Melinda and Lakisha in one group you know that they&#039;re not going to pull a shocker and have one of them go home.  The interesting story is that Sanjaya is in the middle group (with Blake and Chris), more on that in a second.  The bottom group is Haley, Gina and Phil.  At first I think Phil&#039;s going home since he doesn&#039;t have any sort of personality to warm up to, but then I remember that he&#039;s got a military background so that&#039;ll get him some votes.  Sure enough he&#039;s safe.  The question is whether it&#039;ll be Gina, who is the better singer, or Haley who is better looking.  Turns out Haley&#039;s legs keep her around another week, and Gina totally breaks down when she has to go home.<\/p>\n<p\/>Ok, so, back to Sanjaya.  He&#039;s in the middle of the pack, which should hopefully put to rest the rumors that he&#039;s way out in front of everybody else because of all the rigging that&#039;s going on.  He&#039;s not.  Every season there&#039;s somebody that doesn&#039;t deserve to go as far as they do, and this is no different.  He may go farther than others because he&#039;s gotten more press, but he won&#039;t win. <\/p>\n<p\/><b><a href=&#034;.\/search.action?query=american+idol&#034;>More American Idol stories&#8230;<\/b><\/p>\n<p\/>Technorati: <a href=&#034;http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/american+idol&#034; rel=&#034;tag&#034;>American Idol<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What do you call the Tony Bennett style of music, is that Big Band?
