But seriously, take into consideration that Melinda has been singing professionally for seven or so years. Kelly was an amatuer when she was on. Were they to go head to head now? Kelly would blow Melinda out of the water!

I love Kelly completely. I'd be embarrassed to let you see my Ipod

Of course Kelly is better now than she was on the show, that was the whole point I was making -- that Melinda's performances and flawlessness on the show are unmatched in Idol history.

I think, too, that you are a little off by treading on the concept that ANYONE would "blow Melinda out of the water." You may like Kelly more, but Melinda is thus far pitch perfect (why she made a great backup singer) which makes there very few people who would even be capable of coming close to her. I think that Melinda is "technically" better, no doubt.
