What the heck is wrong with America? - *Spoiler*


Danalana wrote: How is Melinda going home and Blake is going to the finals? Just like last year...Chris went home right before the finals. There's something seriously wrong here. I was in tears when they said it was the end of the road for her. No stinkin' way mad.gif

lovemykiddies replied: I gotta be honest...Blake is my favorite! So, needless to say, I'm glad he made it through!

Danalana replied: I think he's alright, but I get tired of him doing the same thing all the time.

maestra replied: I don't like Melinda. To me it always seems like she's kind of growling.

HuskerMom replied: Ok I'm guessing you're talking about American idol? I don't watch it anymore but does it really matter who wins seriously? I mean look at Ruben, he won but we've heard more about Clay who came in 2nd. And anyone else after that that's won have we really heard anything about them? Not really. And Chris Daughtry (sp?) is with a decently good band or doing good solo, either way he's doing better than the winner that year . Anyway just thought I'd through in my 2cents.gif laugh.gif

Danalana replied: Oh, she'll still get a contract. i just thought it was supposed to be that the best singers go to the finals....obviously, that is not the case.

Celestrina replied: I only watched the first two seasons. Anymore it seems like people are voting for the worst possible person (especially in the preliminaries) just to see how far they will go. Thanks to that people with real talent are getting voted off. Howard Stern (I hate him) was encouraging people to vote for Sanjaya (sp?).

Danalana replied: Apparently, it comes down to "image".

kit_kats_mom replied: Image and Marketablility. Did you see the little girls freaking out when Blake went to his hometown? Those same girls have no bills but they do have allowences and Blakes CD is just waiting for them to snap it up. Jordan is the same way. Kids love them both. Melinda's fan base is a little more mature and calm. Her fans in Nashville weren't flipping out like the other twos. I know that as a kid, I didn't really like Tina Turner or Aretha Franklin but as I got older, I realized their talents and started to enjoy thier music. I really like Melinda and I'll buy her disk when it comes out.

Mommy2BAK replied: I liked all three of them, but I kinda figured Melinda would have to go tonight. Too many teeny boppers are voting for Jordin and Blake.

Danalana replied: dry.gif I wish there was somewhere to call and complain...but I would have to complain to America sleep.gif

Mommy2BAK replied: Did you vote last night?

Danalana replied: I voted twice.....maybe I should have voted more!

MoonMama replied: I gotta admit I liked Jordan. cool.gif

Insanemomof3 replied: I thought it was Lakisha that went home? I am confused.

amymom replied:
emlaugh.gif lol that was last week.

Actually I was hoping that Jordin would go home. I enjoy Blake and Melinda is good. They will all do fine. Look at Yamin who sang last night. He went home in the #3 spot last year and he is doing well.

kimberley replied: i really like Blake too, so i am glad he is still there. it is american "idol", not the world's best singer. Melinda is amazing, but she lacks the fun image and charm the younger two have. i agree with Cary about her Tina Turner reference... i just couldn't get into her when i was 15 but my parents loved her. it says nothing about her talent... just her appeal to teenagers.

your comment about Blake doing the same thing every week kinda made me laugh because as good as i thought Chris Daughtry was, he was the same way. he is the only guy i know who can make any song "rock" and still sound good. you may not like Blake's style, but i do think he is worthy of his spot in the top 2. jmo.

lisar replied: To be honest I always thought that Melinda was a little to old. Just like Taylor was last year. She is a great singer dont get me wrong I just thought she was to old.

stella6979 replied:
I agree about Melinda being a little too "old". And while I also agree that Blake may not be the greatest vocally, he is a great peformer and I always know and like the songs he chooses, and well......he's just a little hottie. biggrin.gif

Danalana replied: See, maybe that's one of the problems...I don't find him attractive. Maybe it's his mouth...something about him really annoys me. Oh, and you can't beat box every single song....it just doesn't go! Gah, I think I might gauge out my eyeballs next week. Please, God, let him actually just sing.
And I don't understand about Melinda being a little too old. AI has age requirements and she obviously was young enough to compete. If that's too old, they should lower the age limit.

luvbug00 replied: i missed it but OMG i thought it should have been milenda and blake to the finals. jordan shouldn't be there. dry.gif

stella6979 replied:
Whenever he doesn't beat box the judges are disappointed and tell him that he should stick to what he does, and I personally like the beat boxing. smile.gif
What I mean by Melinda being old is more her style, not her age. She dresses old, she sounds old and she just acts old. Just my opinion of course.

Kaitlin'smom replied: I am very happy with the top 2, sure Melinda can sing but as others pointed out she appeals to the older crowd, there for not really as makretable. She also started to bore me as she has no spark or excitement ot her she is just blah IMO. Blake and Jordin were my 2 favorites all along so I am happy. Also as some other pointed out just cause she is not in the top do does not mean she wont do well, sometimes they do better not being in the top 2 or even the winner.

Danalana replied: laugh.gif I don't think I am ever going to really understand, so I guess I'll just move on...I just hope that America will vote for actual singing talent in the finals.

lesliesmom replied: I was stunned when they sent Melinda home. I do think she was the best but I also agree she doesn't have the "Idol" quality to win the title. She will do great on her own (Simon probably had a contract in the wings for her to sign when she walked off stage last night) and I will definitely buy her albums. She is the type of singer DH and I enjoy.

As for the other two. I am not a fan of Jordin. She's too unpredictable in her quality and pitch. When she's on, she's good. When she's off, she's really off. I do like Blake. Whether he beat boxes or not, I like his vocals (and Tuesday he did straight vocals in one song and beat boxing in his last two), . I hope he takes it.

lisar replied:
I am sure Melinda will get a record deal anyways. I am sure Simon will be the one giving it to her. He loved her.

jcc64 replied: American Idol is just a reflection of our culture in general. It's all about the decidedly questionable tastes and whims of people not old enough to drive or work. Who ever accused them of having good taste or judgement anyway???

Mommy2BAK replied: I have to agree with what a few others have said, Melinda was just too old to be the next AI, not neccesarily her age, but her image, whereas Blake and Jordin are obviously much younger and hip. Sadly, at this point of the ocmpetition its not really about who's the best singer, because I think they all proved that they COULD be great, it's all about IMAGE. No matter who actually takes the title of American Idol, I believe that all three of those guys will do big things!

Danalana replied: I think it upset me more because I just thought Melinda was a very nice person. You know, like somebody you could be friend with.... emlaugh.gif I think my hormones are all messed up cause I'm getting tears in my eyes wacko.gif laugh.gif

DansMom replied: I voted for Melinda and Blake, for different reasons. Some of the best are blessed not to make it to the finals, like Jennifer Hudson and Chris Daughtry. I think it liberates you from the American Idol stamp while still getting you an in with the record industry and other opportunities. Melinda is a mature talent---from the beginning, she seemed too polished for AI.

Danalana replied: I agree with that.

Does jordin remind anybody else of "Carmen" from "Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants"? I love her!

MomToJade&Jordan replied:
I totally agree. She had a "professional" quality to her and the best voice out of all of them. Her vocals were consistant week after week. Oh I'm sure she will get a record deal and I will buy it when it comes out. Like others said before sometimes it's better not to win the whole thing because the record you make might not actually be the one you want to make (Remeber Kelly Clarkson who broke away from the label for this very thing).

Next week is going to be interesting. In the end I think it's going to be Jordin. yes she can be unpredictable, but her talent is incredible for a 17 year old.

I'm just ready for it all to be over. So You Think You Can Dance primere's in 2 weeks. happy.gif

Danalana replied: laugh.gif I wonder if they'll pick the ones who can actually dance the best.....

lisar replied:
I think your right. I think she will win and for a 17 year old she has great vocal range. I did like Melinda and I wanna see what kind of album she puts out.

Danalana replied: *cries* MY FRIEND, MELINDA, IS GONE!!!!!


I feel better now baby.gif
