Blake has a full day of public stuff going on here in the Seattle area today -- must be "homecoming day" for the final three. I don't know how they find the time to make this trip plus prepare three songs in less than a week!

It's taken me a few to let this sink in, I am still taken aback a bit that Lakisha was eliminated and Blake is still there. She has been consistently better than he has. I'm not saying each of her performances were her best, but she's had more than Blake. What a surprise. I guess it does bring something different to the contest, maybe the who knows who will win now, but if Melinda doesn't win, something is wrong lol. I think Jordan has done really well, she actually surprised me with how good she can be two weeks ago, but Melinda, to me, really deserves to win, she, to me again, is the best. Oh well, it's still fun to watch.

See Stormie, I think Jordin should win over Melinda. Melinda is technically an exellent singer but I dont think she is a great performer. She is missing that oomph.

ITA Maris. For me, Melinda is missing that wow factor and I never anticipate "what will she do or sing" like I do with Blake and Jordin.

That's what I said earlier when lots folks were cavorting in my brain... Melinda is a great singer but she doesn't have "it." And "it" is what's gonna make an idol and keep that idol making records. Kelly and what's her name have it. Ruben didn't. I don't think Taylor did either (fanatic fans don't count).

I think Jordin is the type of person that they had in mind when they visualized what an American Idol winner would be like. She is young, exciting, personable, a little wowed by it all and she is a very good performer. Interestingly, she is quite similar to Kelly in many respects.

I just don't see Melinda as an American Idol. That does not mean that she isn't an outstanding performer.

Of course, I think the producers have been a little surprised in the past by who the public decided to support and ultimately it is who gets the most votes.

Jordin's ok. She doesn't excite me though. In fact really none of them do. I am really loving Chris Daughtry's music though. I loved him during his season.

Mocha, I just picked up his CD a few weeks ago and I've been loving it.

I disagree, Melinda is a great performer. She has taken each genre and worked well within it, she was phenomanal (sp?) during Rock week with that have a Nice Day song. I think Jordin will be a very good performer as well, but Melinda is already there.

yes, it's out now and the single is getting plenty airtime on urban contemporary stations. He's also started a couple of businesses including a modeling agency for young women in Birmingham.

Ruben Studdard’s The Return moves up five spots to #84 on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart.

Just Google any Idol you are interested in and you will find plenty about them. Ruben's summer tour dates, CD info, etc. is all out there.

I agree Sugar, Melinda is a fantastic performer - her expressions, her gestures. The way she performed during rock week demonstrated the sheer depth of her talent.

She just does not have an 'exciting' personality (probably being generous here). Also her looks aren't 'exciting,' and her vocals are predictably perfect.

'Total package' or not, my hubby and I still think she is the best contestant to grace AI's stage. We're in love with that extraordinary and exquisite voice!

Thanks Sharinia. Some friends and I were discussing AI today, one is a very accomplished singer/vocalist. Melinda IS one heck of a performer. Jordin will likely become one. We all think Blake is awful and should have left a long time ago.

See Stormie, I think Jordin should win over Melinda. Melinda is technically an exellent singer but I dont think she is a great performer. She is missing that oomph.

I'm not sure about this, though, you may have a point. Melinda has been consistent in being a great singer throughout. I'm not saying every song has been fabulous, but she's been consistent in how good she actually is. Performing wise, I think she has grown and will continue to grow. I think Jordan is a good singer and really did so well two weeks ago, last week she was so so to me; she's a very good performer, but I think she needs work on her singing abilities. I look at the singing more than the performing, as I think performing will come with practice. I guess it really depends on how you look at things. I'd like to see Melinda win, Jordan will have to do something pretty stunning at this point for me to want her to win it all. Blake, well, I'm not a huge fan, so I see him going next, but you never know. This isn't my favorite season, Season 1 still is for me, but it is pretty interesting to watch how things transpire, i.e., who's been good, bad, indifferent and so on, not to mention fun with the judges :-)
