I have to say....I'm shocked that Melinda was knoked out. I thought it would be Blake and Melinda. I think Jordin was shoked too.

Out on a limb here and predicting Blake as the Winner.

*runs screaming from the room*

Noooooooooo. Said it ain't so Sal.

"Way out" is right.


Yes, Jordin was shocked - because Blake displaced Melinda. I don't know how America can miss the fact that Blake can't sing a lick. Then again, neither could Taylor Hicks. All I can say is, Melinda is so much the best singer - best ever on Idol, IMO. Simon looked like he was sick.

I agree with the part about Melinda going and Blake staying...I was shocked. thought it would be the 2 girls. I just sat here w/ mouth open.....but I did notice they didnt really talk much to Blake afterwards but it did show his face....I think he was SHOCKED that it wasn't him ......

In all honesty, Ceci, I hope Jordin wins now. She is without a doubt the better singer than Blake.

I had just hoped that the best would win...Melinda.

I agree Kingrex, Melinda was the best, in my eyes too.

I'm sure my heart did flip flops when Ryan said Melinda was going(:. What has America done. I hope Jordin wins. But Melinda is still a winner whether she has the title of AI or not. But I'm sure she cried herself to sleep tonight.

Its like Paula said....time for Melinda to go get started on her career.....and man is she ever gonna have one.......
I think several of the top 10 we will hear more from.....Look at Elliot.....he was GREAT last night......

We have not heard the last of Melinda Dolittle!!!!!!!!!

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.

I'm glad you said that Becca, now they can throw tomatoes at you....instead of me... I think Blakes' rendition of The Police's song Roxanne was very good. I like them all, but I heard on TV this morn that since Melinda got knocked out that her votes will now probably go to Jordan....

Like I said B4, I like them all, but Melinda just didn't have the stage presence to attract the younger crowd... She's a fantastic singer and will no doubt, succeed wonderfully in her career...

I like Blake and I like Jordan, but I also heard that her overconfidence is hurting her.... (now, stop throwing rotten fruit at me)

I just said I heard that..... *hiding w/Becca*

What she said!
