Last night was a shocker :eek: :eek: I was disappointed. Melinda was by far the best singer of the three. I thought for sure Blake was going home. As they say...The audience has voted and the results are in :confused:

I agree 100% Chris. I haven't been that impressed but I had to watch because Melinda is actually from Tulsa. She just moved off a while back.

She is honestly a great singer and I hope this takes off for her but it ruined Idol for me. To much teeny boper vote. I seriously am done with it this year. Melinda can by far out sing either of those two......

Blake is getting the teeny bopper vote

I rarely watch the show, if I do it is usually just the last 5 or 10 minutes on the results show. You're right about that Blake fella. With all the teens having cell phones, the show is nothing more than a popularity contest.

Regardless of the outcome.......Melinda will have a great career. So I wouldn't worry about her.

How about that Elliott Yamin last night????? I love listening to him sing. He was number 3 last year. I suspect he will do just fine too.

Can't say that I was really that suprised with the vote last night. I told my wife several weeks back that it would be Blake and either Melinda or Jordin.

After Chris Daughtry got voted off last year.....nothing will ever surprise me about the show, but with that being said.....look what he has done for himself.

Kinda funny how the only two "official" winners from AI that have gone on to do very well are Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.

Haven't heard anything from Fantasia, Reuben Studdard or Taylor Hicks.

Daughtry has done well.:cool: Bo Bice never did much. And Clay Aiken was a joke.:rolleyes::D And that one girl that just won as Oscar, what was her name??;)

For as little as I follow this show, I've actually seen and heard the most of Doolittle. She's not an American Idol. It's the hard truth, but you have to be able to do more than just sing. She doesn't have the look or the personality to be a pop star.

This was a weak season though, right?

LOL.............however.....what Muggsy is NOT saying is that if Melinda hailed from the great state of OHIO....then he'd be her biggest fan.;):D J/k

Yep all the teenyboppers are the ones voting so they will not vote on the best talent but the popularity.

Some guy was on a few years back he didnt win. But he has been fairly successful since, he is a country singer.

Oh what about Ruben what has he done since winning AI??

AI either needs to change the way the voting works with the judges have some say or change the name of the show.

Sometimes I think it's a blessing for some of the better ones to not win the show. Then they are not restricted to have to do the idol thing for their first record which always isn't what they are meant to be singing. By making the top 3 she still got alot of attention and now can make her record the way she wants to and not the way Idol wants her too. Like others said look at Daughtry from last year he will sell more records then any of them from last season. Most of the winners minues Clarkson and Underwood have really done much, but looks at others who did not win, def more success.

Reuben was in the Scooby Doo movie at the very end with the credits :rolleyes:, Think one of our favorites who did not make it to the end was Josh Grayson. He did pretty well after idol. Heard him on the radio here just the other day.

My 2 cents here......bottom line is you got to have more than good vocals to win........its call the x-factor......Taylor is doing fine selling out all his concerts and getting good reviews.......he was by far the best last year......looks,voice and moves.......the whole package.......Blake has it.......many talents........Jordan could have it......she is a little stiff and needs to move more.......Melinda did not have it.....nor Chris D. form last year,......even tho Lots of people like R&R ......he did not have any stage presence or very little at all.......I don't like screamers......but many do as his sales have proven.......so to win America over......and looks helps too........you need to do more than just sing......we vote them in !!!!!!

I picked Jordin to win a few weeks ago. Melinda's voice is better, but Jordin is a better entertainer. Blake is getting the teeny bopper vote, but he's a decent entertainer too.

Overall, I still say it's a down year for AI.

I agree. I like Doolittle, she has a great voice but I do not think that she is a good entertainer either. I think Jordin has both skills and is more into her songs when she sings. As long as the fruit cake does not win, it's all good!
