Well, it's a tough choice tonight for sure. Three different directions to go. Jordin has risen to be a popular favorite, and though she is an incredible vocalist, she doesn't quite have the prowess that Melinda does. But does Melinda have the style and edge that is so often important in a pop-star contest such as this? Blake seems to be the outside shot, but maybe he is unique enough to pull something off here. I also suspect that he is a popular favorite among the young female population which I suspect is the largest demographic of the voting populus.

A tough choice
Well, it's a tough choice tonight for sure. Three different directions to go. Jordin has risen to be a popular favorite, and though she is an incredible vocalist, she doesn't quite have the prowess that Melinda does.

A bit of a changeup in tonights results
Yes, a bit of a curve ball in tonight's results. As we don't know how the results will be unveiled next week, we will wait to see if they give and indication as to which order the bottom two were eliminated. So, depending on how the results are unveiled next week, one of two things will likely happen with the scoring for PopPool.
1. We are told which order the bottom two are eliminated
In this case, Game 1 results will be unaffected and the contestants will be listed in the correct order of elimination. For Game 2, the contestant with the least votes will be treated as being eliminated this week and the contestant with the second to least votes will be treated as next week's elimination. This obviously creates a slight complication for Game 2 for if you incorrectly guessed for this week, you won't know if you can try again to guess that person next week. In order to ensure that scoring is fair in both cases, we will require that all players submit a different name for the Game 2 elimination than they did this week.
2. There is no indication of which order the bottom two were eliminated
In the second case, Game 1 scoring will be modified to treat the week 7 and week 8 eliminations equally as though both contestants were actually eliminated in week 8. For Game 2, a correct choice in either week 7 or week 8 will count regardless of the order. So, if you chose both of the contestants that are eliminated, you will get 2 points regardless of the order. If you guess only one of the two eliminations, you will get one point regardless of whether your choice is in the week 7 or week 8 position. Obviously, if you don't guess either one correctly, you will not get any points.
If there are any other modifications or complications, we will be sure to let you know. As a reminder, you are required to submit a different name for Game 2 next week than you did for this week. Good luck - it will be an interesting week next week!

Uh, did anyone else notice that there was a soft focus filter on Celine Dion during her performance? I wonder if that was in her contract. She was the only one. Funny... and weird.
