Jordin is no stranger to the industry but I did not know that she met Simon and Randy years ago.
Maybe that is why Melinda is gone this week instead of Blake. If Melinda was in the final two she would win. IMO

Melinda had the best set of pipes, IMO. I was hoping from the get go she'd win. HOwever, I am a fan of all three, I was just leaning more toward melinda to be the AI. I am happy with the top 3 and the top two. Melinda has a HUGE career ahead of her and I LOVE that the newest "divas" and upcoming stars aren't these teeny tiney pop tartlets and the newest main music men aren't your average rap star or boy band type.

We are seeing a whole new wave of imagery with the latest "celebs" the paris' and britneys are on the way out, make room for the Jordan's, The Kimberly Lockes, The Diana DiGarmo's, The Melindas, the Kelly Clarksons, Kelly Picklers, The Rubens, The Clays, The Josh Gracin's, and Fantasias!

I'm sure Randy and Simon have met many people over the years...that doesn't necessarily mean that Jordin isn't an amazing and talented artist. (For instance, Paris Bennett last year -- I thought Randy was gonna drool when he realized the family relationship.) Jordin got where she is now from her talent, not because of some supposed meeting with Randy and Simon years ago. Not to mention that she might have met them last year...when she tried out and didn't make it!

I think Jordin will win no matter whom she's up against, either Melinda or Blake. One has ZERO WOW FACTOR and the other is Amateur Night. IMHO only. :-)

So, I missed some of this year's shows. Did Chris D. ever do a guest appearance? In my view Kelly Clarkson was the best AI, Chris D. was next.

Jordin and Blake seemed to have huge followings when they went to their hometowns. I've been to both places many many times. Seattlites love to be recognized on the national stage and are very proud of their 'own', not matter what the event. People who live in the Phoenix area are very much the same way, except with less rain. Thus, we saw a major turnout of fans for both visits.

So, it was not surprising to me to see that when Melinda went on her home visit to Nashville, the turnout was much smaller. Nashville is used to 'stars'. Although, Melinda is a great singer, she's just another 'wanna be' a this point. Even though I was spoiled through this forum (thanks everyone), you could kind of see it coming from the home visits.

Still none of the contestants this season were even in the same calibar as a Kelly Clarkson, Tamyra Grey, Or Chris Daughtery. Even when you saw Elliott sing last night, it reminded me of how good last year's singers were compared to this year. (plus, Elliott's song was kind of cool)

I can commiserate with the Melinda fans, because over the years I have had a lot of favorites voted off. That is not to say that I was a Melinda fan - this year, I really have not been moved by anyone. (However, I was hugely entertained by the Sanjaya experience.)

I do happen to know a lot of Melinda fans who never voted, like my parents. They are avid Idol fans, but I don't think they have ever voted for anyone. They are in their 70s and pretty much take the "armchair" approach to the whole thing.

She will do well, regardless, as will both of the top two. One of the positives of Idol is watching your favorites make it after the fact - it is almost like having someone you "know" make it in the business!

Trini, according to IMDb Kellie Pickler was never on L&O SVU. I think you are thinking of Leven Rambin who is also on All My Children.

I actually liked the Final 3. I was not surprised to see Melinda go; I had a gut feeling.

No matter who wins between Jordin and Blake, I'll be happy.

Melinda will do just fine. I am sure she will be signed to a recording contract almost immediately.

As far as Blake is concerned, he is different. I have 2 teenage boys and Blake was the only idol they liked. I like Blake as well and I'm in my 40's. Different strokes for different folks.

Retired, Thank you it is Leven. I enjoyed that episode. Leven look and acted as Kelly would. Hope I am not insulting fans of Leven.

You didn't insult me. :-) She's an actress and was playing a role and did it well.

LOL, Melinda may sound the same each time, and so does Blake, but Melinda has a VOICE! Big Difference. Sounds the same but she has range. Is consistent, but consistently good.

I'll watch the next show if I'm so moved to vote, it will be for Jordin.

I've been a Blake fan from the beginning.. he's different, unique, and he's so talented arranging his own material. While I liked the 3 girls this year it was kind of a "been there, done that" scenario for me. I've heard the big voices before... So I'm glad there is something new on the horizon. Go Blake!

Also, the girls will be successful regardless. Look at my last years boy Chris! Winning isn't everything...
