American Idol Jewelry
I watch this sometimes when my husband is out of the room or during commercial. One of the things I noticed is that while talent is the major player in the American Idol competition, it doesn't hurt to also look like a big star, and that include lots of bling.

Most recently Idol contestant Lakisha Jones showed off her sparkle and her talent, choosing to wear over a million dollars worth of platinum and diamond jewelry:

"Star" Necklace: 26 carats, $150,000

Earrings: 11 carats total, $75,000

Brooch (worn in hair): 33.5 carats, $250,000

Right Hand Ring: 3 carats, $10,000

Cuff Bracelet: 28.5 carats, $100,000

Oval Cuff Bracelet: 24 carats, $145,000

3 Line Bracelets: 42 carats total, $295,000

You can read her bio here. Unfortunately, her latest performance didn't go that well, even with all this great jewelry, as reported by the Lansing State Journal:

Michigan's favorite Idol may have hit her first bump in the road.

Flint native LaKisha Jones, one of 11 ''American Idol'' finalists on Tuesday's episode, sang ''Diamonds Are Forever,'' the Shirley Bassey song for the 1971 James Bond film of the same name.

Her hair worn in tight curls, and clad in diamond or faux-Diamond Braceletslinks, earrings and necklace, the 27-year-old single mother drew applause from audience members but left some judges feeling flat.

''I don't know if it was my favorite performance but at the end you showed you had that big old voice, it's just... I didn't feel enough LaKisha in it, you know what I mean?'' said judge Randy Jackson, whose comments elicited boos from the audience. ''It was just all right for me.''

Added judge Simon Cowell: ''I thought everything from the hair to the dress to the mannerisms, the choice of song ... it was like seeing you really in 50 years time. It wasn't my favorite performance.''

Only Paula Abdul reacted favorably, telling Jones ''you picked the right song and you're a very, very smart girl.''
