MY PICKS

So the top three performed without any major glitches or train wrecks, but at the same time they also didn't offer much in the way of risk-taking or uniqueness. Each singer performed three songs, and the round in which songs were chosen by the judges was ironically the worst of the night. Which again makes us question their credibility.

Melinda came out on top, almost undoubtedly. She boasted the same vocal talent we've seen in weeks past, but nicely served up some attitude-driven performances to prove she's really not that boring. And it kind of work.

Jordin didn't stumble, but hardly garnered the excessive praise from the judges that we've grown to expect. Her songs were far from lackluster -- they could be dubbed excellent, even -- but she didn't do much in the way of creativity and talking back to Simon in round three probably didn't help, either.

Blake, finally, was the worst vocally...and was pretty mediocre until his third-round take on Robin Thicke. Even though Randy criticized, Simon actually -- kinda -- sang his praises.

Who's going to the finale? Logic says Melinda and Jordin. I've never hated Blake, but the two ladies would simply be more fun to watch. And I don't think he did anything to sway new voters this week.

Thoughts?
