I disagree about last year...I do think the best SINGER of the final 2 won the competition...but perhaps not the best performer. Blake was unique and has many special skills, but I don't think he appealed to a huge spectrum of people (for instance I think his beat boxing is a cute trick but I'm not sure I could stand a whole lot of it). Jordin is a really good singer and has a lot more (of course this is my opinion) potential as an artist. Melinda was hand's down the best overall singer but lacked a dynamic personality.

I think the difference between Jordin and David A is parenting. Jordin was a self assured invididual, didnt appear the least bit insecure. David A seems to be an emotionally fragile person and I truly don't think it would be in his best interest to get thrown into the whirlwind of a fast tracked music career. He is someone who would benefit from four years in college, away from home and away from the oppression of his father.

like he would ever get away from his father for four years. my friends with kids in college are still solving all their problems via cell phone and the internet. makes me wonder when the kids are supposed to stand on their own two feet. i get your point maris. i was oversimplifying. i think jordan is a great role model for her peers while david a. could be in big trouble as you say, if he makes the big time.

ITA with you 100% Rox about Melinda. She was the best singer out of the three of them, but not the best performer. I also thought Lakisha was very good - but she had no chance.

If you go to the finale with a "Go David" sign, I think you have all your bases covered. Names for the tour: Davids-a-Poppin' Jason and the Amazing Dread-lock Headed Turncoat Cry-Baby Legally Bland A Tale Of Two Davids Cheese (is the word) In The Highs (starring Paula Abdul)

All I know is that when they showed David A's homecoming, he said "gosh" about 30 times.

I saw an interview with Blake last evening and wow does he ever have a bad case of sour grapes. He said the reason that he lost last year is that in the final show they made him sing that horrible stupid song (the one that they have each one sing) and that he wanted to change it and add his beat box and they wouldn't let him and that hurt his chances. He knows that if it could have changed the song he would have won. WOW those are some really sour grapes and after seeing him, I have a much lower opinion of him.

I haven't seen that interview so I can't comment on his tone or how he was speaking. I do think that song probably dashed whatever chance he had of winning. It completely favored Jordin's singing style. It was a terrible song for Blake. Nevertheless, I think that Jordin was fully deserving of the win and probably would have won regardless.

I had heard that he had said some really negative things about the show but not the content. Apparently it is considered the "in" thing to do right now to criticize the show that brought you out of obscurity and into the national spotlight...hasn't Chris Daughtry done the same thing?

I love syesha's voice, but she bores me. David Cook, I love his song choices and he will probably win, and probably deserves to at this point. David A has imo the most potential and will someday be a superstar if his father doesn't destroy him. He isn't ready yet but I love his voice. All in all there was a lot of talent this year. Fantasia, still can't listen to her, Sumertime, it is a simple song that beginners sing. Didn't move me at all. She did give me a chance to take a potty break when she was singing so it is all good.

Just checking in to say that I love Fantasia more than ever after that incredible--in many ways, both good and bad--performance on Wednesday. She really does need to lose her brother as a "rapper" though. He totally messed up the words.

One effect that Fantasia has that is similar to many big stars is that people seem to either like her performances a lot or don't like them much at all. In a way it is quite remarkable that she won American Idol despite that.

Oh, I didn't know that was her brother. Even though I couldn't understand a word she was singing and she did look a "hot mess" with that orange hair, I couldn't take my eyes off her. Girl puts her all into her performance. What energy! I loved the look on Simon's face, too. I would've loved to have heard what he had to say about it.
