I've mentioned before that I like Blake - I wasn't surprised to see him and Jordin in the final two. Not to toot me own horn but...

I'll be thrilled to see either of them win at this point but am favoring Jordin as the best bet. She seems to embody the youth, energy and vibe (and genre) of AI. Blake's got the 'Sting' thing going on... he's a fine entertainer. Wonder if he's considering film??

Melinda's talent surpasses American Idol, she'd outgrown the show by round two ...and I agree with those who've said it's time for her to move into her future career already. Watching her stand there subjected to criticism by the judges made no sense, week after week.
