American Idol Round of 3: A Horseplayer's Perspective

[Samarta]

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....
