can’t believe blake stays and melinda goes

Average (to be exceeding kind about it) boy singer beats great woman singer. Lotta teenybopper girls voting.

Melinda probably has the best voice of any contestant in the history of the show, but real talent means very little in today's music industry.

This should cinch it for Jordin. It’s a girl year since Taylor won last year.

Melinda is very pretty...she has a real, soft, lady-like charm about her. This is a travesty—her voice is superb.

Apparently, we know not the power of the sweater vest and the Ashley Ferl voting block.

I hope your right!

This just proves it’s really not a “singing competition.”

I do think this way is better for her career...just look at Chris Daughtry and Eliot Yamin. She gets to keep all the money she earns and doesn’t have to share it with American Idol.

Yes, but we’re not Madison Avenue.

I know she’ll still have a great career—it’s just so wrong that the talent this year was so lacking and the real talent gets punished because it’s not “teeny bopper” or “marketable.”

Plus she’s not locked into the American Idol contracts and obligations.

I’m pretty sure Simon will give her a contract regardless of her being booted off.

I DO think the divas split votes, BUT, I think Melinda had more votes, but that AI had already picked Jordin to win this year so they let Melinda go. As long as the two divas remained, they were going to split votes.

I said last week that I thought Blake would do well, because there are some people that just prefer male singers.

I’ll bet Simon knew and that’s why he was in such a pissy mood all night. Remember when Sanjaya went home, he was practically doing cartwheels at the table.

Fred Thompson is from Tennessee too! Anyone see him “bitch slap” Michael Moore?

Yeah! That was great--watched it several times :)

I really want Fred to be the next president.

I disagree. I think that demographic is downloading certain songs and not buying whole cd's. They are also downloading from freebie sites.

I think the older demographic are the one that buy cd's, they are the ones used to having hard copies, like 33's and 45's. jmo
