So, I had several things written down about AI tonight. Some funny, some not. Some comments about how much I detest Adam Levine, some of my usual confusion over Blake's wardrobe (sweater vest over Seinfeld's puffy shirt tonight), and some more griping about the sheer length of the results show. But I'm chucking it all. I can quickly sum up tonight's show thusly: 15-year-old girls with unlimited cellphone minutes are not qualified to judge vocal talent.
Melinda's gone. Oh, Si. Oh, Si. You better learn how to face it.
Yeah, Simon looked positively livid upon hearing about Melinder's ouster. Yes it was disturbing, but I can't say I'm completely surprised. It's all about youth and looks on this show and in the pop music world in general. I'm sure Melinda already has 15 voicemail messages from hungry record labels, so it's really no big deal. Getting voted off is probably the best thing that could've happened for someone with her talent.
I guess this means I have to go back to my original prediction that Jordin will win...or does it? While watching the videos of the Idols visiting their hometowns, it seemed that Blake got the biggest reception and had the most rabid fans. We'll see. I'm still holding off on any final predictions until Blake and Jordin go head to head next week.

And we can't figure out what's up w/ Blake's shirt thing either. Totally a late '70's female thing.
In the end--ya gotta VOTE. I heard a lot of people talking about liking Melinda and I guarantee a lot of them didn't vote.
Melinda is a fine singer--but 'fine' singers abound quite honestly--there's nothing memorable about her to me.
Blake annoys me with his scintilla of talent--He's Bobby Goldsboro in a bad outfit--
Jordin can be a fantastic talent---she's just a baby but I think she'll go far.
And--I just might bring the old voting fingers out of retirement for her
Maybe I have no right to be as I was not part of the voting public. Turn makes a good point about the Soul Patrol last season.
I was just angered. I have retired this show from my viewing schedule.
Yeah, I'll admit it, again. I'm a Blake fan. I think Jordin has a better set of pipes, but I think Blake is just as marketable and has more of the "yo factor". Melinda's going to do just fine...
Though I do enjoy the visits home.
I know it's better for Melinda in the long run, but I sooooo wanted that little **ick Blake voted off.

Great blog!
Well, Blake from Bothel - about 20 minutes outside Seattle - is in the final and could win.
I don't like his style, but he is talented at what he does.
I will purchase Melinda's CD when it comes out.
Fine writing as usual, I for one am going to miss this....wanna pick on America got Talent??
