Tonight the final three contestants, Blake Lewis, Jordin Sparks and Melinda Doolittle will perform one song of their choice, one song selected by the judges and one song selected by record producer Clive Davis. 

The Bee Gees week was tragic for the final Idol contenders -- with almost everyone earning piss-poor performance reviews. After Blake Lewis was praised for his stylized beatbox renditions during Bon Jovi week, he ran with his gimmick and beat-boxed the hell out of Bee Gees week. Although earlier in the competition judge Randy Jackson had told Lewis to use the beatboxing to his advantage, after Blake's performances of You Should Be Dancing and This is Where I Came In, Randy complained that his beatboxing was “getting old,”... and he was right.

Oddsmakers immediately placed Blake as the long-shot and Blake fell into the bottom to with LaKisha Jones last week. Will he perform another beatbox this week?

American Idol Odds:
Blake Lewis 9/2, Jordin Sparks 1/2, Melinda Doolittle 11/5.
