it is interesting, looong time ago ryan seacrest predicted that jordin will win. He was spot on. It was the time when people were thinking about lakisha and malinda, sundance etc.

poor Blake...oh well, always loved Jordin anyways. At least he won't be completely tied down by contracts after the tour this year. Congrats to the 17 year old (I can't believe she's younger than me!).

I really like Bette Midler but boy she really sucked tonight too.

Wow... If that wasn't proof that Sanjia can't sing... Dave Davies would have tossed lunch if heard that one... Least Joe Perry can still play.

Congrats to Jordon...

They really screwed Blake. That song was written for Jordan. He didn't have a chance. Oh well. During the American idol The Point notzes gave me a bunch of low scores on Usernames.

She was surely the best of the final two! I really thought Dolittle would get it though!

Chris, Carrie and Kelly will endure longer.

I just hope blake does now, because that other chick freaks me out for some reason. I think at any moment she could snap.


Tina Turner yes, but Fantasia who?? I agree she deserved to win, but I don't think she would be AS big as Ms. Carrie. I agree though about Jordin, she kinda reminds me of Shrek's wife when she stands next to Ryan. SHE'S HUGE!!!

My take on this --

Melinda - at times had some wonderful performances. I don't think she did that well on Tuesday

Jordin - her voice and range is amazing. Win or lose I think she'll do very well. And, she's only 17 so she has lots of time.

Blake - a little too gimmicky for my taste.

Hey...don't "misunderestimate" us...
:D

Anyway, here's my take:
Melinda
I have to admit, I never liked Melinda. It was honestly her non-existant neck that bothered me at first, but that quickly turned into her ingenuine smile and her overly shakey voice. I admit she put on a good show for a while, but it didn't take long to figure out her humble little diva formula that she never quite shook off. Yeah yeah, there are people that think she's relly like that, but I'm not one of them. Her major in college was based soley on her vocals, she was a background singer, and then she goes on American Idol saying, "Wow, I've never been told I was good before." Bull. But...I never thought she wouldn't be in the finale. I didn't want her to be, but it just seemed to be a fact. So, needless to say I was very suprised/happy he got booted because I don't feel that someone so fake should be an idol for anyone. And I really don't think she's going to do that well on her own, but I guess we'll see.

Jordin
I've always been pulling for Jordin since her audition and really think she has great potential to be an American Idol. However...I almost want to change my mind because he opened up her annoying mouth a couple episodes ago, and now no one can get her to shut up. I think she could really sabotage herself if she says something stupid/embarrassing during the finales. That being said, does she have have a superior voice? Of course. Does she have great potential? Yes. Will she sell millons of albums if she wins or loses? Duh. I'm not worried about her at all, wherever she ends up she'll be fine.

Blake
This is very tricky matter. I've liked Blake from the beginning, but I never thought he would excel this far simply because people recognize him as a beatboxer before a vocalist. BUT, I can't help but gush over his performances every week and I really think that his vocals have actully improved. A lot of people (including most of the Melinda fans I'm sure) find him annoying and maybe weird, which is somewhat understandable (he did come from Seattle after all!), but I have to disagree. I think that he is the most original breath of fresh air that has never happened and probably never will happen again to American Idol. His performances are smooth, unique, catchy, and can actually compose...but can he win? Maybe. Will he go platinum wherever he ends up? Will hoards of screaming girls go to see him Live? You bet, and I'll be there too :)

This is why it's a tricky situation, I think Jordin and Blake are equals in their own ways. I would usually make a prediction at this point, but I think it's really nessessary in this case to judge based almost soley on the Finale. Well, we will see...

I am bummed. Melinda was the best vocalist that the show has ever had. Nobody ever had a harsh word for her. Nicest contestant as well. She is so humble she stayed happy even in defeat.

I am ready for that new band show however. That will be sweet!


Can't wait either. About Melinda though, how many would honestly buy a CD. Yeah she can sing, but that style of music........she wouldn't sell very many CD's. IMO....You just can't get with my girl Carrie!!! LOL
