Last night was British Pop Invasion Night on American Idol, and the word on the MyIdol Message Boards is that it was a whole lotta fun. Read below for what weve been hearing through the Idol Grapevine. Have something to add? By all means, be our guest! Start a thread or write a recap. If we really like your fan recap, we might even use it as our official show recap for Americanidol.com. Or we might just use bits and pieces to keep spreading the word on the Grapevine. Either way, let your opinions be known!

First of all, I need to eat some crow. I've been very critical of Sanjaya for weeks, on every thread and every board. However, I thought Sanjaya. Was. Entertaining. There, I said it. Please pass the ketchup (to put on my crow). "EttaCandy

Since I've always found this song a little bit creepy for some reason, I'm kind of hoping Haley's pretty voice will do something for it for me. And it did! She's singing well. She's flirty. She's on pitch. She's remembering all her words. She looks adorable and appears comfortable onstage...AND she has great gams. "ProVocalist

Gina sang "Paint it Black" - Hey, y'all. Gina's back. This was another good song choice. I loved the whole look. I loved the personality and edge in her voice tonight. She's still having small diction problems but, for the most part, I did understand what she was saying. "Gwen4791

Chris R. is up next singing Dont Let the Sun Catch You Crying acoustic with just a guitar. Nice! Hes a little boy band for my taste, but the boy can sing. And I love the rhythmic take hes offering up on this song. Its nice to hear him just sing a song and not go for first prize in the Vocal Olympics. "claena

I like this song, and I like Blake singing it. Someone should probably turn down the backup singers just a hair, since they're overpowering him just a tad. By the middle of the song, they have the mix down fairly well. I don't know if it's the fact that I really love this song or that I'm a big fan of B-Shorty, but I was totally down with this performance. Totally. I feel goofy for even saying it like that, but I loved it. "velcrohead

Melinda Doolittle = As Long As He Needs Me-Shows over, folks--Elvis has left the building, the fat lady has sung, thank you for coming to the show and, if youre drinking, please dont drive home! I give you your 2007 American Idol. --jaduck

Jordin Sparks gave me chills, big time. I have not felt them like that since Kelly Clarkson. We have been looking for the next Kelly Clarkson and this girl could be it. She's not really like Kelly, but her poise and her down to earth bubbly personality...and those vocals...WOW. She was all that and a massive bag of designer chips. "pieceandluv2

Stephanie tackled Dusty Springfield's You Don't Have to Say You Love Me. She sounded great when performing for Lulu at the piano but, on stage, it was a nervous and timid performance. "Damien666

Unfortunately, I don't think Phil will be breezing through. I think he's at the dead end of "Tobacco Row-ow-ow-ow-ow-oad". The song was good; the performance was good, the make-up was better. Still, I just wanted it to be over so that I could see what Sanjaya would do with his hair. "Icoffman

Chris Sligh is doing a Taylor Hicks move and is coming up out of the audience (people who went to the "Idol" summer tour last year know what I'm talking about). He's singing "She's Not There" reasonably well but all of the fans reaching for him might be a bit of a distraction. I like the mike stand poke he made at Simon, who backed up against the judges' table. "indigo15

Diamonds are Forever - Kikki Ms Jones picked the wrong song, but it didn't matter. While not being anywhere near her best performance, this girl can flat out sing. She did, however, look like a Christmas tree with her green dress and all that bling-bling. --irishinvegas
