OK, I admit it, I watch American Idol. Now, I’m not a hardcore fan like I am with Lost, but I usually watch it. Previous seasons have bored me and I lose interest in the middle of the season, but this season has been different, for one reason – the singing has been fantastic! Well, let me qualify that – the singing of Jordin and Melinda have been fantastic. Don’t get me wrong – there are a few other contestants who are good, and I enjoyed listening to them, but Jordin and Melinda were head and shoulders above everyone else. With that said, here is the main gist of this post: The American Idol Finale sucked!
And what makes it worse is knowing what might have been: A Melinda vs. Jordin showdown.
Tonight was boring – Jordin was awesome and Blake was weak. Sure, he was the best guy (maybe… Phil was a better singer), but he was not even close to Jordin or Melinda. Imagine how good the finale would have been with Melinda and Jordin squaring off on the winning song from the songwriting contest. Instead, Blake stumbled through his version, and Jordin blew it out of the water. I was disappointed last week when Melinda was voted off, but I figured “Eh, give the people what they want.” Man, I didn’t think it would be that bad, though. Well, hopefully Jordin wins tomorrow night – I think Denise actually called and voted a few times. At least if Blake wins, though, I’ll have the Lost finale to look forward to right after.
I completely agree with you. In fact there is no question that melinda had the far superior voice than anyone. But since it becomes more of a popularity contest, I can understand the way that it went. Now if you asked me who will probably sell more records, then I’d have to say blake. Only because his style is more mainstream alternative. Singing wise he still has a way to go, but he is a good entertainer. And you know all of those 13 year old girls will buy up his cd when is comes out. I wanted to make my first comment so that I could also let you know that deedee and I have started a blog too. Our website is deedeejay.wordpress.com So we finally joined the blogging ranks with you. Anywho. Talk to you later
