Blogging “American Idol”: We Predict Jordin’s the Next to Go

5/16/07, 4:43 pm EST

Melinda DoolittleThe best line on American Idol last night came from Paula, gushing to Melinda: “It’s awesome when you’re fantastic!” Well put, Zen master Abdul. She’s right — it IS awesome when you’re fantastic, which must explain why last night’s episode suffered from a distinct lack of awesome, since none of the final three even knocked on fantastic’s door. Entertaining moments were sparser than Barry Gibb’s chest hair. But it was cool to see Blake kicking it with Sir Mix-A-Lot. And Jordin — NOW you tell us your favorite song of all time is Hanson’s “MMMBop”? Too bad she didn’t call in Taylor, Zac and Ike to back her up for a big-ballad production of “Weird,” because she could have used a knockout punch. Instead, she just recycled “I Who Have Nothing” — better than the Tom Jones version, not as good as Sylvester’s, about even with Status Quo’s. As for Melinda, she went back crawling to “I’m a Woman,” which was painfully corny back when Raquel Welch sang it with Miss Piggy on “The Muppet Show,” and hasn’t gotten any less corny since. No Aviance night for you, Melinda!

At least Blake did three new (for him) songs, but while it’s obvious he will soon be the biggest star in the world, it’s also obvious he has earned a plaque in the pitchiness hall of fame, with all that beatboxing a smokescreen for his chronic inability to sing on key. “Roxanne” was just painful, with Blake squeaking, “You don’t have to SELL your body to the NIGHT!” Dude, don’t suck so close to me! Jordin sold her body to “She Works Hard For The Money,” even limper than her recent versions of “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “Woman In Love” — please, doctor, separate this girl surgically from her borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered Eighties. Melinda phoned in a tedious Whitney Houston obscurity, did a Tina Turner parody in a hideous distressed-jeans-under-hippie-dress outfit, and still managed to outsing the other two (no doubt her decision to interpret “Nutbush City Limits” had something to do with Ike Turner’s decision to get locked up on drug charges last night — the only wonder is Blake didn’t drive Sting into the adjacent cell). Yeah, people complain about Melinda because she has nice Southern-auntie manners and not much imagination or charisma and she can’t stop with the boring show tunes (next week: “No Time At All” from Pippin!), but she’s still more fun to spend ninety seconds with than the other two.

So who’s going home tonight? Jordin “Minnesota” Sparks? Melinda “The Goddess of Gloom” Doolittle? Or Blake “Call 1-900-MIX-A-LOT and Kick Them Nasty Thoughts” Lewis? Looks like Jordin is getting the axe — like Lakisha, she’s a quality entertainer in the making, but not enough of a pro to battle the physical exhaustion of doing this full-time for three months. It also looks like the entire Idol machine is equally tired, and ready to ponder where this whole season went wrong. Reality TV is a fast-paced game, and yet every week, Idol is there to say: “No thanks. We have no room for improvement. Yes, we realize Project Runway completely changed the rules, and now Idol looks as slow and old-fashioned as restoration drama, but we’re not going to have a winner of the week, or replace Seacrest with somebody a little more Tim Gunn-like, i.e. recognizably semi-human.” It’s like Gene Hackman said in Night Moves — nobody’s winning, one side’s just losing faster.”

Debbie H | 5/16/2007, 5:43 pm EST

I hope Jordin stays. she is young and has a great voice. Melinda no doubt has a professional singing voice, but she picks crappy, old songs sometimes,and not that exciting to watch. Blair….I don’t like the beatboxing. Just my opinion.

I Love Blake | 5/16/2007, 6:18 pm EST

I hope jordin leaves she is not exciting like blake!
I get bored during her performances!
She squeaks and squeals and it’s ANNOYING! at least blake and melinda are interesting and they don’t scream-sing like jordin.

Do a lap, buddy!

Allen | 5/16/2007, 6:36 pm EST

I really don’t think Jordin is the next to leave. I don’t know what show Rob was watching, but it was not the same one I was. ‘I Love Blake,’ I think you must be about 12 years old, as indicated in your taste and post. And as for the first half dozen posts, re-posting again and again, as indicated by the same spelling errors and grammatical mistakes is boring. Jordin rules!!

I Love Blake | 5/16/2007, 6:41 pm EST

actually i am 13. and you must be 45 you big peice of dukee

VFB | 5/16/2007, 6:41 pm EST

All of them where very good last night.
Postive side:
Blake: cute, performer, risk taker
Jordin: strong voice, performer, grown on show, cute for her age
Melinda: found style, great voice, good choice songs, cute in her own way
Negative side:
Blake: tired of the beat box, voice weak
Jordin: silly attitute shows lack of maturity when she sticks her tongue out, choice of dressware, find a style
Melinda: needs to let it all hang out, better choice of dressware for her body type

Winner who knows??? I know who I voted for.

y’all jordin is the dawg right there ayt? jordin’ll win! all that beatboxing crap from blake… this aint a crappy dj contest. this is a freaking singing contest! so blake better go find k-fed and they can rock on!

You are a piece of trailer trash.

It will either be blake or jordin to go tonight.
if it is blake.. =[ i will cry

ghostrider | 5/16/2007, 7:20 pm EST

What is this thing about the girls sticking their tongues out? Did I miss a new fad? It is nauseating and so demeaning to them.

Blaker | 5/16/2007, 7:45 pm EST

Not sure why I am posting this comment but I felt that not everyone is seeing what Blake can bring to the music industry. Blake is a risk taker and thinks differently from the rest of the group. You wait and see, his style of music is going to take-off and be big. It’s new, it’s fresh and that is what sells.

COCO | 5/16/2007, 7:55 pm EST

If you had to take over one of the 3 remaining as their agent, would you be willing to settle for Malinda’s “little-girl” persona to co-exist favorably with her obviously professional voice? Or the ho-hum voice, state fair contestant talent Blake has parlayed to here? Or, the so-young, bound-to-improve-on-something- pretty-special-right-now Jordin? If you have to mull it over, I’m wasting your time.

Lenna | 5/16/2007, 8:05 pm EST

My Twin Jordin | 5/16/2007, 8:17 pm EST

Jordin Sparks should not leave because she is a perfect performer, the best looks of an idol, and she is 17! WOW! For me. She’ll win American Idol! Also when i looked at the internet. The percentage of her votes was the highest.
Percentage of Votes: (Positive)
Jordin-48%
Melinda-24%
Blake- 23%

Percentage of idols they want to see going: ( Negative)
Melinda-13%
Blake-28%
Jordin- 0%

Blake is Safe | 5/16/2007, 8:17 pm EST

Blake is Safe cuz Jabasearch says so :D

deva la rue | 5/16/2007, 8:38 pm EST

They are all great. I think winning
the Idol crown may be more of a
pain than it is worth. No doubt all
of them will have singing careers.
Blake will be better off not winning and
just going zoom to the top on his own.
The girls, hmmm, I don’t think the
Dolittel is STAR material, Jordin could
be…if Brittany spears can be a star
,Jordin can, She can really sing.
With some professional help with
her body/style, she will be gorgeouss
and very famous. I’m sure those
in the business are already banging
on her door.

qpgreen | 5/16/2007, 8:40 pm EST

jordin has the age style and future to most likely win it all.

I Love Blake | 5/16/2007, 8:54 pm EST

That is F*cked up! Jordin should not win! Blake should!

Megan | 5/16/2007, 8:57 pm EST

This blog is so stupid! I didn’t even understand what you were saying most of the time! SO OFF TOPIC!! And just because Jordin didn’t do her best last night does not mean she’s leaving!

Louise | 5/16/2007, 9:08 pm EST

Blake can’t sing and has strange thin lips and a strange fat ugly body, so what’s up with that? Who could like him except people with no taste!! Jordin is great, but who cares if she’s young. Why bring it up? She’ll be second. Melinda has class and seems genuine. She’ll win. And anyone who criticizes her body – how great is your body? What talents have you got? And what’s up with all the cussing and misspelling on this board? Didn’t you go to school?

Veneitta | 5/16/2007, 9:20 pm EST

Melinda
She has a voice. Melinda can sing anything given to her and does it with perfection.
It is not how she looks in her clothing. It is how well she deliver’s when she sings. Melinda knows how bring emotion to all the songs she sings..That is what makes Melinda Doolittle a better vocalist.

not an "idle" watcher | 5/16/2007, 9:43 pm EST

this whole show is American IDOL. it is not so much who is the best, it is who would be an IDOL. idol’s throughout the years have always been someone a little off the beaten path, someone who can entertain, and make it their own. Melinda may be the best singer, but she is not the best idol material. would you buy her albums or go watch her in concert? Jordin is awesome, yet she is young and not seasoned, BUT she can belt it, but is she an IDOL? Can you see her being placed on a pedastel by her peers? Blake may not be the best of the 3 but he is unique. he is fun to watch, an ENTERTAINER. he makes it his own. So looking at this with realism in mind, who do you think will be the winner?

Clyde | 5/16/2007, 9:46 pm EST

Mindy Doo, you are nice but too boring. Buh bye.

Maryellen | 5/16/2007, 9:51 pm EST

If I had to watch Blake too long I would vomit. Yes, I would enjoy a Melinda concert – she has class and chooses material that’s not pop poop.

Jamal | 5/16/2007, 9:55 pm EST

People who like Blake eat White Castle. People who like Jordin eat sushi. People who like Melinda eat filet mignon with bernaise, escargots, and Chateau Lafitte and creme brulee to top it all off, along with a Cuban cigar and an after dinner sherry. Viva Melinda, je vous aime ma cheree.

MIKE FROM MANILA | 5/16/2007, 9:57 pm EST

I LIKE BLAKE AND MELINDA. MELINDA WILL WIN, BUT BLAKE WILL BE SELLING MORE RECORDS, FOR SURE.

not an "idle" watcher | 5/16/2007, 9:58 pm EST

i rest my case

Megan | 5/16/2007, 10:05 pm EST

Greta | 5/16/2007, 10:05 pm EST

Melinda is gone – SHOCK! But America always gets it wrong – hello Bush – and Clinton – and Nixon – and that grey-haired winner last year – America has taste up its butt. Poor taste.

Walleyesinc | 5/16/2007, 10:07 pm EST

Sad comment for Blake to beat out Melinda is just the reason why the show in my mind has no crediblity this is worse than having Sanjaya make it as far as he did

linda | 5/16/2007, 10:08 pm EST

Well-it is finished for Melinda D. Who could believe it? Actually she is the least marketable of the three, but the better singer.My pick for the winner is Jordin. How about you?

Carolyn | 5/16/2007, 10:12 pm EST

Pretty obvious TALENT does NOT win on this show.
Melinda could sing both under the table..Blake got Sanjayas votes and all the screaming little girls.. He’s a fat little boy with a good face and his attempts at Maroon 5 were modern enough to get the votes. NO Talent..he will FADE FAST!!!
Jordin is a 17 year old that appeals by her looks to all the guys who want her ( RANDY included), does have a voice but stands like a mannequin when she sings..needs to learn to entertain..and just her looks will finally get “old”.
Melinda lost the vote but she has the TALENT..go MD!! You were Robbed…

ALVEDO | 5/16/2007, 10:18 pm EST

BLAKE IS GOING HOME TONIGHT, SORRY

quitting idol's daughter | 5/16/2007, 10:19 pm EST

Quitting idol you know good as well that your going to be watching the season finale. Melinda went home because shes boring. And don’t be mad that Jordin is still on, thats just called hating.

quinny | 5/16/2007, 10:21 pm EST

I LOVE MELINDA DOLITTLE AND IT IS WROGE THAT SHE HAD HOW SHE GOT VOTED OFF I THINK THAT SHE SHOULD BE IN THE BOTTOM TWO HER AND JORDIN

mamtel | 5/16/2007, 10:26 pm EST

Is there a point in even watching the finale. I think it’ll be the worst one. With Melinda gone, what’s the point? She has it all, voice, stage presence, looks. Jordin is a child with very good voice, but no entertainment qualities, and Blake just gets on my nerves, with his never ending beat boxing and tired Michael Jackson moonwalking. Oh, well. Please do better next year, or I’m done…

scoop | 5/16/2007, 10:27 pm EST

American got it wrong :( Melinda should not be going home tonight. But she handled the news with such class and dignity; watch for a big record deal and a lot of marketing to keep her singing career going.
I predict Jordan will win it all now.

lcando | 5/16/2007, 10:33 pm EST

LET’S FACE IT….IDOL HAS BEEN ON WAY TOO LONG AND HAS BECOME COMPLETELY A TEENY-BOPPER SHOW….THE ONLY REASON MELINDA WAS VOTED OFF WAS BECAUSE MATURE PEOPLE ONLY VOTE ONCE….IT’S THE TWEENIES THAT VOTE A HUNDRED TIMES FOR SUB-STANDARD CREEPS LIKE BLAKE…THEN THEY SEND THE BILL TO DAD….ANYWAY MELINDA IS FAR SUPERIOR TO THEM AND WILL SHOW THEM ALL UP IN DUE TIME!!!!!

Ozzy | 5/16/2007, 10:33 pm EST

Melinda is the best singer of the three, but she will do well. I see her going the gospel route and scoring big. Blake seemed stunned when it was announced that Melinda was going home. He can’t beatbox on everything, it gets old. He didn’t really show he could do much of anything else. I think he will do all right with his core group of fans, but I am not sure he will gain new ones. Jordin has the pipes and the eye appeal, so I think she will win. She also has the charm that comes through the TV and into your home. Even if she possibly doesn’t win the big prize, she will have a big career. Think Clay Aiken more popular and heard of than Reuben Studdard.

Nick Triesch | 5/16/2007, 10:35 pm EST

Melinda was good but not great. It was her turn to go. It was fair. Nick Triesch, Blanco Texas.

Frank | 5/16/2007, 10:40 pm EST

Well Well Well
THE AMERICANS GOT IT WRONG AGAIN…
ANYONE WITH ANY KNOWLEDGE OF MUSIC AND SHOWMANSHIP HAVE GOT TO BE SICK TO THEIR STOMACH SEEING SUCH A TALENT
BEING VOTED OFF TONIGHT…..MELINDA BY FAR HAS THE MOST TALENT OF THEM ALL…..MAYBE ITS TIME TO HAVE SOME PROFESSIONAL JUDGES 5 OR 6 OF THEM TO JUDGE THIS EVENT….NOT A BUNCH OF 13 AND 14 YEAR OLD TEENY BOPPERS
VOTING MULTIPLE TIMES OVER 4 HOURS..
I AM DISGUSTED AND WILL NOT WATCH THIS IDOL THING ANY MORE,,,,

GJ | 5/16/2007, 10:41 pm EST

Melinda was robbed of the title of course, by all the gushing little 5th graders who think Blake can sing and who all think of themselves as the next Jordin- if all the votes from kids 12 and under were eliminated do you REALLY think these would be the final two????????????????

Chris | 5/16/2007, 10:45 pm EST

With Melinda gone it is way too hard to call the winner

Melinda fan | 5/16/2007, 10:48 pm EST

I think that this show has turned into a popularity contest instead of a singing contest. I liked Blake but his beat box did get old. Jordan is also great and she will have a great career. But I think Melinda is hands down the best singer and performer of the three. I will not be returning next year because it isn’t about singing anymore. I saw too many people go home this year that should have stayed and too many stayed because they were more popular (Antonella, Sanjaya)instead of good singers.

bermy | 5/16/2007, 10:49 pm EST

Melinda you were robbed, but you will have better luck out there some will call you with a contract keep your head up…… Jordin wish you all the luck you will be the next american idol …… Blake it’s time for you to beat box home (dawg).

Kim | 5/16/2007, 10:50 pm EST

Jordin will win it hands down. And she deserves it, there’s no such a thing as a better singer who is not loved by the public. Art is subjective and Melinda simply hasn’t got it to be seen as a complete artist. Congratulations to Jordin, she will be a big name in American music ever.

Melinda is as exciting as a wet noodle GOOD BYE won’t miss you !!!
Blake has the originality and
spirit and is truly the AMERICAN
IDOL

idolwatcher | 5/16/2007, 10:57 pm EST

I am so ticked melinda got the boot. I don’t even care to watch anymore. This by far was the worst season!!

Sof | 5/16/2007, 10:58 pm EST

I don’t know what you guys are talking about, Blake CAN sing, and he will sell many records even if he DOESN’T win idol.

Dummys.
I agree with I Love Blake and Pukey!

Retarted people? Can’t you see talent? Obviously not. Blake and Melinda were the best and you guys voted for JORDIN? What’s different about her? How is she unique? All she is is another Hilary Duff or Ashley Tisdale. Great going america.

Awesome. You guys rock.

not

DIlbIln FoGher | 5/16/2007, 10:58 pm EST

Why will Blake win?… because all the little girls that vote for him will go out and get daddy to buy his albums when they don’t have a clue what he’s ‘beat-boxing’ about.
The voting system and the reasons for voting are a travesty: “I LOVE BLAKE, HES SO CUTE!!!”…..for crying out loud. Go back to Britney SPear, you twelve year olds.

I Love Blake | 5/16/2007, 11:00 pm EST

KIM IS RETARTED!
she thinks jordin is good?
I guess she likes Disney Channel

Tickletom | 5/16/2007, 11:01 pm EST

G’bye Melinda – you are great but I’m sure we’ll see you again someday. I see Blake as a music producer someday, he’s creative that way and this season I believe Jordin takes the American Idol. She can sing ….go woman, she’s got a great personality and when she drops 100LBs., she will be gorgeous!

John G | 5/16/2007, 11:02 pm EST

I felt it was inevitable. Those who say it’s not about singing are completely right. The best singer “ever” on American Idol got voted off tonight and that’s it for me. I have no interest in watching a show dominated by ignorant children who get to choose what talent is. I will buy every CD Melinda ever makes. I will buy nothing from Blake or Jordin…..nothing personal…..I just appreciate talent. Not gimmicks or screaming. American Idol, you’ve lost me in your audience.

IdolFan345 | 5/16/2007, 11:04 pm EST

dan | 5/16/2007, 11:08 pm EST

Melinda is a great singer, but her look and style is dated. I can’t imagine anyone under the age of 30 connecting with her 70’s diva style of singing. She will have a good career in the adult contemporary genre. Jordan has the most potenial, so I think she should win it all.

WONDERFUL | 5/16/2007, 11:10 pm EST

I AM IN TOTAL SHOCK OVER THE VOTE TO SEND MELINDA HOME. SHE HAS BEEN CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COMPETITION. AT THIS POINT I CAN CARE LESS WHO WINS. THE VOTING SHOULD BE DONE AS SOMEONE WROTE EARLIER, BY A GROUP OF JUDGES FOR THE LAST TEN CONTESTENTS. THEY SHOULD BE PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD VERY GOOD CAREERS IN THE BUSINESS THEMSELVES. THE VOTING HAS GOTTEN OUT OF HAND FOR AMERICA. I REALLY HOPE THE PRODUCERS RETHINK THIS WHOLE PROCESS OF VOTING OVER FOR NEXT SEASON. AMERICA HAS TRULY GOT IT WRONG AGAIN. THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE A SINGING CONTEST. HOW SAD. MY HATS OFF TO YOU MELINDA. I CAN’T WAIT FOR YOUR CD TO DROP. I KNOW YOU WILL TRULY HAVE A GREAT CAREER AHEAD OF YOU. I’M SURE CLIVE DAVIS WILL WANT TO SIGN A RECORD DEAL WITH YOU ASAP. LOVE YA FROM FLORIDA

Proud Canadian | 5/16/2007, 11:10 pm EST

GO anywhere in the world. Anywhere.
If your American, chances are, you won’t be liked as much as a Canadian. Don’t bash my country boy! We’ve got alot more to be proud of. At least our government is decent, and, as America showed me tonite, that most Americans would prefer voting for Idol than the Presidential Elections. And for who? A beat boxer with weak vocals…

At leats when we have a terrible leader, we have the gonads to give him the boot (Paul Martin gone, Steven Harper in!). Take THAt!

Melinda wasn’t to win because she seems like she’s 45 – in her song choices and that squeaky surpised attitude od hers is too unbelievable for soemone who seems so old. Blake is weird, but I agree he’s def creative. Jordin is amazing for a 17 year old. If they were all 17, Jordin would be the easy choice. She’s still the best choice – and make that drop 180 pounds for Jordin. She’s gotta get skinny for Hollywood!

AMERICAN Idol watcher: Is an idiot.

GO anywhere in the world. Anywhere.
If your American, chances are, you won’t be liked as much as a Canadian. Don’t bash my country boy! We’ve got alot more to be proud of. At least our government is decent, and, as America showed me tonite, that most Americans would prefer voting for Idol than the Presidential Elections. And for who? A beat boxer with weak vocals…

At leats when we have a terrible leader, we have the gonads to give him the boot (Paul Martin gone, Steven Harper in!). Take THAt!

jbreal | 5/16/2007, 11:13 pm EST

I am done watching idol. Tonite’s vote really shows that this is not a talent competition by any means.
Everyone knows Melinda is by far the most talented person on the show although she may not be the cutest. All judges, including Simon, routinely mention that she is in a league of her own. If we want to vote for the cutest person we should be watching america’s next top model not american idol.

I have watched the last 6 years the show. Tonightr did me in, I will not return for the final show or watceh the show ever again. Talent is what this show was put on TV for. Melinda has more talent in her little finger than both of the final 2 left. The blame can be put partly on the execs. of the show. They have allowed to much lead way for the public to take over the show and allow talent to take a back seat to cuteness or sweet. So good bye American Idol. My time and money I spend watching your show has beena total waste of my days. Good Luck Melinda, you are the my American Idol along with the judges as well.

Its over... | 5/16/2007, 11:18 pm EST

Even if Melinda’s gone, I’ll still vote Jordin anyways. She can sing well and is inspirational at her age. And to boot, she’s not superskinny.

But, if Blake wins, then that tells me that this contest has become a fraud.

melinda deserved to win. I’m finished watching for ever. I hope all three have long music careers but the best don’t win.

Ha ha ha ha ha ! the hippo nose went home ,butshe was ok. I think not neither one deserve to win Blake or Jordan. Blake needs to walk home. with his rough looking self

Eh to go Rob | 5/16/2007, 11:24 pm EST

Nice call Rob Sheffield (”We predict Jordon’s the next to go”). I see you’ve got your finger on the pulse of the nation…OH MY, that’s not where you take the pulse!

jinpaG | 5/16/2007, 11:44 pm EST

Well, Melinda was the hottest singer of this season BY FAR! Her range and attitude and ability to hit it in different genres is way better than gimmicks and cute stuff. Oh well, America hasn’t been showing a hell of a lot of intelligence in the voting arena over the last 2 presidential terms. Unfortunately, the outcome on Idol is predictable. Sorry, folks … I am American, and I am routinely embarassed, but also appreciative, because we aren’t all the same.

HOWEVER, to the ignoramus who said Jordin “will be gorgeous when she drops 100 lbs”:
Jordin is already gorgeous and sexy (and Melinda is, too). Get over the skinny-assed girl thing, and let’s praise women for being WOMEN; Anorexia is a DISEASE, and so so passé.

Lungs | 5/16/2007, 11:56 pm EST

Enough with Idol! I don’t care who wins now because the premise is bogus. Melinda is a vastly superior singer and that’s not an opinion, it’s a fact. At least Supernova had the smarts to use a voting system that allowed the public to voice their opinion, while the band always had the last word. Let the teenie boppers, the tone deaf and the musically clueless have the show. I’ll never watch again.

Rich | 5/17/2007, 1:14 am EST

Hey look at me! I don’t like other people’s taste in music so I’m going to make fun of them and call them little girls!

C the light | 5/17/2007, 1:34 am EST

blake blake blake blake
voters make a big mistake
but idol’s goal aint to pick the best
it’s just to get you to watch the rest

And you do, you chumps.

Priscilla | 5/17/2007, 2:18 am EST

America has it wrong again,what message do you send by sending Melinda home?Everone knows that she was the best singer American Idol has ever had on,Maybe she didnt have the looks but she had the talent which I thought that’s what American Idol was looking for.

Good luck Melinda on your contract that you will be blessed with.

Mink | 5/17/2007, 6:13 am EST

C’mon people, it’s a singing contest! It’s no doubt that Blake is a great performer with his own distinct style. Hands down that he’ll sell millions of records but as far as the competition goes; Jordin deserve to win. Think about Blake singing minus the beat-boxing; he’s an alright singer..don’t u agree??

DMC | 5/17/2007, 9:26 am EST

I hope that the show will revise its way of accepting votes. Its not a popularity contest or is it?Why have Randy, Paula, and Simon vote to eliminate contestants at all? Ther should be consideration given to whether or not individuals can vote more than once. This type of voting procedures allows contestants to be voted off because someone liked or disliked them,and not the talent that got them there in first place. I am disgusted with the outcome, and do not plan to watch the finale. I feel that the show is loosing its credibility.

Don VIto | 5/17/2007, 9:30 am EST

WOW i lot of u dummys say you wont watch again …lets see how many are back next week posting

mikeky | 5/17/2007, 10:12 am EST

blake lewis has no lips.
WHERE ARE HIS LIPS?

he’s also the kind of white guy i just want to smack in the mouth. maybe it’ll make his lips reappear.

JNA | 5/17/2007, 1:11 pm EST

Melinda is the best singer that American Idol has ever had.

Jordin is a decent singer.

Blake is an OK singer (just look at his audition for AI and listen to what Randy said)

All who disagree with these comments are either tone-deaf or obstinant (look it up stupid).

All you Jordin and Blake fans should either go back to chewing your bubble gum or go back and listen to more CRAP music. Oh, I mean RAP non-music.

T Bear. | 5/17/2007, 2:23 pm EST

Sorry Y’all honestly what adult will by a cd by Jordin or Blake. If you gave me twenty dollars to buy a cd by Jordin I’d give it back to you. She is not marketable to adults. Blake I wouldnt even bootleg a cd by him. Melinda was the best plain and simple and she got robbed.

What kills me most is that most of you act like u hate idol but still u feel thje need to post a comment..I can not believ that melinda was voted off..if u want my honest opinion, blake should have gone home weeks and weeks ago..he is not a good singer at all..Melinda is the best singer idol has ever had and this goes to show how many 13-17 year old lil girls are out there voting over and over for thinking blake is cute..

Cary | 5/17/2007, 3:58 pm EST

So all the tweenies have cell phones and they call as many times as they can in 2-4 hours..so the YOUNG vote beta the MUSIC votes. This process is a Farce and all it odes is create viewership..Like some oithers said on here.. get REAL judges..who have music backgrounds..not dated producers like Randy who calls everyone Dawg and oggles jordin like he’s like to jump her..or Paula the drunk..or Simon the bitch who HATES everything.. what a bunch of CRAP!! I kept watching because Melinda kept getting better and more doverse in her arrangements.
Jordin and Blake ( boring beat boxer) got in from uncontrolled multiple voting..Melinda lost because she is older, mildly attractive, is a TRUE MUSICIAN so chose GOOD (older) songs.. so lets see who’s syill making a living from music in a few years.. It won’t be Blake OR Jordin…who got in on LOOKS alone..not talent!!!

A real CRAPPY ending after weeks of building up to who should have won as a Musician…not wannabee future stars…

kellie | 5/18/2007, 6:09 am EST

hate jordin.
would’ve liked a melinda-blake final.

as for who’ll win ,
blake SHOULD win
jordin WILL win.

also,,this was the worst ever AI season,,by far.

and jordin will be an undeserving winner.

it won’t matter ,because i expect blake to sell far more records.

JORDIN HAS MAD TALENT!!! | 5/18/2007, 4:08 pm EST

Don’t vote for the midget with the ugly hair and no vocal ability – VOTE for the beautiful girl who has MAD talent – Jordin Sparks!!!
