You may be right, Maris. He was already performing before AI. And the second place finisher can parlay their time on the show into contracts. He's gotten a lot of exposure on this show. And as I said with Melinda earlier... both of them will do OK without a first place win. I think winning this will help Jordin more (because of her age).

Melinda was there...she was sitting next to Lakeisha in front of Phil and Chris and Chris... ITA with Maris. From the flip of the coin Blake showed he didn't think he COULD win nor did he even try to win. I think he thinks he will be better off NOT winning.

I don't see Blake getting tied up by the appearances and promos for a whole year. The best thing for him will be to come in second.

Don't pick Paula's nose problems. She "tripped to avoid stepping on her Chihuahua (Tulip) and broke it". This is all according to "The Post" and the tv show "Extra". Missed the show. I was more interested in the Andy/Tessa/Bevin love triangle (for some strange reason) at the time and forgot this was on. And to think I totally missed the Las Vegas/Real World reunion.

I like Blake. I think he is a good singer and a great performer and I love his originality. The first song was great as before. I also like Jordin a lot. She is the first finalist since Kelly that fits what I think an American Idol should be (young, raw talent and lots of enthusiasm and personality). Her performances were absolutely solid and she has great vocals. Getting all of the above out of the way, that final song was brutal for Blake. It's pathetically clear that AI wants Jordin to win and Blake all but gave up at the end. That was grim. I'm happy for Jordin though.

I give Simon credit for noting the song was not right for Blake. It was totally a "Jordin song." I knew after he sang it that she was going to blow it out of the water. I too, enjoy Blake a lot and would rather watch him perform. If you think about a lot of the acts out there, not all of them are great singers, but they are good performers. I think Jordin has this in the bag. I do like her, don't get me wrong. She's talented and spunky. She won me over through the weeks, but so did Blake. I think Blake will do just fine w/o the title. BTW - I noticed Melinda in the audience watching expresionless as Jordin sang. Ouch.

I think that Melinda would have won easily, if she had Jordin's personality. As I keep saying, there is a lot more to being a successful performer than vocals. In fact, some extremely successful (and IMO very entertaining) performers are not very good vocalists.

I'm up to Jordin's second song now. Had forgotten just how annoying looking Blake was way back.. (the hair) So Paula tripped and broke her nose.. so I get the drugged sound but did she also get her lips done too?

And I agree, just not all that exciting, not like some seasons. Missed hearing Melinda.

Kind of a blah show tonight. Thought Jordin did pretty well overall. Wasn't feeling Blake (as usual...haven't "felt Blake" all season). Would have liked to have seen what Melinda would have done with that song. Which sucked, IMHO. But at least Jordin's version was palatable.

I don't think that it was any worse than the past three seasons. Maybe even slightly better. IMO the last really good final was Ruben and Clay.

ITA Jimmer. AI2 final was the best, . Still say AI2 was best year ever. Also 'Ths is my now', I could hear Clay singing it in my mind. He'd have nailed it.

did anyone see when the camera panned to Melinda during Jordin's last song? she was just standing there still with her mouth hanging open and almost a stunned/dumbfounded expression on her face.

I thought Jordin did great last night and I hope she wins. Blake is okay but I don't think I would buy a whole CD of his style of singing. He is a great perfomer but I'm more likley to buy a CD than I am to go see a concert. The final song suited Jodin better but it wasn't that different from any of the final songs. I also think it was better suited for Melinda as well so the voters who picked it may have had Melinda in mind as well. Just my Loved hearing Chris at the end...was not a big fan of his during his season (too much yelling while he sang) but I LOVE the song he sang last night (and recently bought his CD). Go Jordin!!!!!!!

Yoda: YOu are probably right on the money about what people were thinking when they voted for the song. I thought it was a very good song lyrics wise for the Idol winner. You never know!

My favorites season was the season with Kimberly Caldwell, Josh Gracin, etc. Was that season 2? It was the best.
