American Idol Round of 3: A Horseplayer's Perspective

Horrible. Melinda has been so much the best it's not even funny and America is, of course, too dumb, as usual!!!

Well, obviously I disagree with the voting but that's how the show works....I'm not shocked cause you just never seem to know.

Wow. This happens every season, though, so we can never take anything for granted.

The favorite and best performer almost always goes home without winning.

I'm thrilled for my girl Jordin though, but without a doubt Melinda was the best all-around vocalist from the beginning to the very end.

My DVR came up short -- can anyone tell me what Simon said about it?

He remained classy...congratulated Jordin and Blake and complimented Melinda...his body language indicated he was less than pleased though.

This thing played out exactly like I said it would...Jordin and Blake in the final and Jordin will win. I agree that Melinda is hands down the best singer of the bunch and perhaps in the top 2 or 3 singers ever to grace the American Idol stage, but she has zero market appeal and that became obvious when she came in 3rd out of 3. In fact, none of the 3 really have any long range appeal from a recording artist perspective. I see Blake cutting a mediocre album and then going to work in a place like Vegas as a house act and Jordin I believe will be on Broadway shortly after they do that tour...jmo....

I pretty much agree with you, although I don't think Melinda is the best singer to grace the American Idol stage. I thought that this year's American Idol was relatively weak and I wasn't impressed at all. I guess I'm a picky biatch.

I agree that this year was by far the weakest of all the seasons, not even close....I'm as picky as the come, I think that from just a singing ability point of view, Melinda is extremely talented. She is definately on the top shelf as far as singers go on that show....who is there with her? There are a few, but not many...
