Yep - Season 2 was the bast ever. Kimberly Locke was on that season too & she's still doing really good too. As far as last night - I would assume Jordin is the winner. I think the folks that previously were voting for Melinda/Lakisha would have come more likely to swing their votes her way than to Blake. I also think she had a better night than Blake & she had my eyes dripping with that last song.

Hi everyone. Haven't been here for awhile because I had the bright idea to switch my phone service to Vonnage......BIG PROBLEM! I haven't had a phone or computer for a month now. Soooo frustrating. Vonnage forgot to tell me they don't work with anyone. If you live in WI don't switch to them. Just jumping in here to say I hope my girl, Jordin, wins tonight. I picked her from day one. I was a little nervous at the beginning of last night's show, but her last two songs blew Blake right out of the competition. Jordin is the first AI contestant whose CD I would buy. I can't wait for it to come out. I don't know if I'd say this is the worst season; however, I agree the ones presented to the judges and the ones chosen by the judges (for the most part) this season just weren't of the caliber of previous seasons. The producers need to quit trying to make a reality show of goof-offs at the beginning of the season and actually pick good singers for the judges to hear.

Maybe that is the lesson that Sanjaya taught them...don't pick an "iffy" choice (although I honestly don't think they realized what would happen when the season started out -- if I remember correctly Sanjaya was pretty good in early auditions) and let them go through or you will pay for it.

This is not really a talent contest, though. By their own admission, it is a reality tv show. They look for people who will possibly make good tv. In that regard, Sanjaya was great tv. Millions tuned in to see the hair, see which song he'd butcher this week and see if this was the week he got booted. There was a substantial drop in ratings the week after he left.

Yep .... it's a fact that the ratings dropped when Sanjaya was eliminated.

quote:BTW - I noticed Melinda in the audience watching expresionless as Jordin sang. Ouch. Someone please explain what that look was! Melinda seemed so confident during the competition, that look on her face was not the Melinda we saw. Was that an angry look?

Some posts keep mentioning 'the song' how sappy it is; didn't america vote for 'that song' to be the one...america voted(I think) it is not as though the judges gave them that to sing!

I never got the impression that Melinda was a particularly expressive sort of person...she always seemed very controlled and very reserved to me. I'm sure she was very aware last night that she was going to be featured on-spot by the cameras, and so I'm also certain that she was careful to keep her facial expressions neutral. I also noticed that they always cut to the evictees when Blake sang but rarely when Jordin sang...don't know if that was deliberate or what! Did she have on the same t-shirt as last week?

Melinda's expression was worth the price of admission last night! I think everyone could have a different take on it and this is mine... during Jordin's singing of the awful "This Is My Now", I believe Melinda is thinking, "You mean I would have had to sing THIS 300 times until the end of the year? Thank you, Jesus!"

Re: Melinda's expression...ever since we got a dvr, I have noticed how funny, weird, happy etc etc people can look for the moment the picture is frozen when I push the pause button and I have noticed that it is easy to take that one picture out of the context of the moment. People's expressions for that one freeze frame often have nothing to do with their actual emotions at the time. I did see Melinda in the audience, so, I know her expression continued longer than just that one frame shown above. It was amusing to see that expression. Hard to tell what it means though.

You people are cracking me up. I think it is Chris Richardson thinking "I could have nailed that song" because, as we know, nasal is a singing style.

I didn't see anybody mention this so I thought I should. Be sure to tune in to Fox 30 minutes before the actual finale show starts because they will be having a red carpet special. eta: I just noticed there is a live red carpet special also showing on tv guide channel at the moment.

Thanks, Bonzacat! I read about the "Melinda look" on the board, but my TiVo didn't pick up AI last night(NCIS and Veronica Mars beat it out) and I searched for it on the internet all morning. The looks on everyone's faces are great. After hearing the "winner" song last night I decided not to vote. I'd rather buy my Blake CD (my first AI-competitor CD ever) without that song, thank-you-very-much.
