Midseason is usually the best when there are like 6-8 contestants left. |
Yeah, I agree, next Tuesday's show is easier appreciated if you've been watching and are invested in the singers. Blake has something that annoys me too, although in fairness, I've liked him a bit better in recent weeks...he's obviously a nice kid (as all the finalists seemed to be) but a VERY average performer. I just can't see him selling a lot of CD's. Jordin has the most potential, at 17 she is really still learning how to sing and more importantly, how to perform...her voice is outstanding and she could become a star...a big star. Melinda...well, she is the best singer this year, I'd say she ranks in the top 3-4 in Idol history; she never missed a note, put a lot of emotion into her performances...in retrospect, perhaps she was too consistent and the public took her for granted...that's the best explanation I can come up with for what seems to me to be a result as bad as if Sanjaya made the finals. This is the nature of the show however, there is no way to "fix" it and maintain ratings so...! The silver lining for Melinda is that she's had plenty of exposure and everyone in the industry knows her talent...in the long run it probably doesn't matter whether she finishes third or wins. I have to wish both remaining contestants the best...I'll wait until after their performances next week but I don't see how I could support Blake over Jordin...then again, my support may be the kiss of death!
