With very little time before the finale, emotions are definitely running high on the MyIdol Message Boards. Read below for a sampling of what is being said about LaKishas departure as well as the live performances by Pink and Barry Gibb. Have something to add? Please do so! Sign up for MyIdol so that you can start a thread or write a recap. If we really like your fan recap, we might even use it as our official Americanidol.com show recap. Or we might just borrow a phrase or two for this Idol Grapevine. Either way, you should enlighten us on your every Idol thought!

Pink is on stage! I actually really like her. Shes stuck in this weird pop meets rock place, but I still like her. And she does a good job. Not the highest energy song in the universe, but it was still cool. "claena

Well, that's the end of the run for LaKisha. It was quite a good run, and it should afford her some good opportunities in the future. "velcrohead

With Season Six rapidly approaching its conclusion, the Idols Live Tour is right around the corner. Seacrest promises The biggest hits, the biggest hair, and the biggest stars of Season Six. --onemanswarm

Next week, our final three will visit their hometowns in what will surely be an emotional moment"except for Jordin, all the hopefuls are only children. "Damien666

I have to say that whether or not LaKisha hit the high notes that the Bee Gees can, whether or not she followed all advice to the 't", or whether or not she was your favorite... she was one of mine at the beginning... I cried last night when she went home...especially watching her exit tape. She is a very sweet & beautiful person with a beautiful voice. "textingbabe724

I actually liked her Stayin' Alive better last night! She infused it with such attitude and really worked the crowd. She will be sorely missed!! I can't wait for her first single. "chicagoloopy

He sang awesome tonight, as always. The problem is he (and the Bee Gees) are so unknown to a great majority of Idol viewers that he sounded different than what they are listening to today. "lunchladylee

DO WHAT CHRIS DAUGHTRY DID WHEN HE GOT VOTED OFF AT 4TH PLACE; MAKE AN ALBUM THAT IS A HUGE SUCCESS AND OUTSELLS THE TOP THREE CONTESTANTS ALBUMS. YOU CAN DO IT LAKISHA, YOU HAVE THE TALENT! --RiverOtter

I think it's good that AI is going to be looking for a good band. I wonder if that would mean singers with the band as well. Any age is a great way to open the door to older people. I think it's a smart move for them. "wesettleshere

Melinda was right when she said that all these weeks they kept giving her great praise and no critiquing. Now they say they want more. Well, I think they should have told her this before, instead of you are great, there is nothing to say --jmtrj69

The song title "Who Knew" (by Pink) was very appropriate . . . who knew she could sing like this? I sure as heck didn't. "The_Soccer_Dude

She went out with class and what a blessed woman she is. I hope she gets everything in life and hope this experience given her a better life for her daughter, a beautiful voice and a person who enjoyed this experience. "aiisthebestever

There's only so much anyone can do with a Barry Gibb song. Melinda is awesome. His songs veer on wishy-washy and the falsetto required obviously put Melinda and LaKisha at a disadvantage. I knew the judges would be miserable this week. "pink_elephant

Wow, not a big Pink fan here, but I thought she was FANTASTIC last night. Does anybody know the name of that song b/c I want to hear it again? "mummer02
