Jordin is the best. Randy was right on tonight, saying Blake's beat boxing was getting stale....that he doesn't have to do it in every song! He should be the next to go.
American Idol Final 4- 2007
- Thread starter The Bandit
- Start date
Damn farce.....Blake should have been the one to go, there's no way he was better than Melinda. I guess all the beatbox/rap crap fans voted for him.
Maybe it's the fact that they want a boy/girl finale all the time.
Haven't they all been boy/girl finales?
It's okay, Melinda is bound to still get a recording contract.
Jordin Rules!

I'm sorry Bandit...I have to disagree with you on Jordin.....To me she sounds like she sings through her nose.....It should have been Blake(not a huge fan either) and Melinda in finals...

IMO, Melinda is the best singer they've had in the history of the show.
It's not a singing competition (as Simon says) but a popularity contest. As long as young girls are allowed to vote, the Blake and Sanjaya thing will continue to happen.
Last season Elliot and Chris were the best singers and they went out early. BTW, has anyone heard from Taylor Hicks or Ruben Studdard?
In the end however, the voting results don't change anything. Melinda will be one of the biggest stars to come from show. I expect her to have a similar career as Kelly Clarkson, but in a different genre (Jazz or R&B).

Yeah, Jordan falls flat in many parts of her songs; she's lacking in range. Melinda's a total pro. She'll go far.
The success after the show will come down to songwriting and video. In both cases Kelly Clarkson scored high and hence the success. Frankly, I only see Blake making it in these categories.
Melinda and Jordin have very little video appeal and may come across as just another diva.
Now can we not have Hailey's body with Melinda's voice and Blake's originality?

LOLNo doubt that Melinda was the best singer in the competition. However, can you say that you would buy her CD if she was the idol? I personally can't say that I would. She's a great singer and has a great voice, but she's not distinguishable to me from other singers already in the business. I know this may not be a fair statement as you make yourself after the competition, but I had no real appeal for her to win this competition even though she was clearly the best singer.

I understand what you're saying and agree to some extent.
However, I will buy a Melinda CD before a Blake CD. As a matter of fact, I've never purchased an American Idol CD but will when Melinda makes hers. Her voice reminds me of Gladys Knight and I can listen to Gladys sing all day.
Once the CD goes in the player, all the charisma stuff goes out the window and your left with the voice.
The only AI cd I have is Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway.
I'm sure I won't buy a Blake cd, that beat-boxing gimmick he has does nothing for me and he's not a great singer. Melinda, not likely if she sings the same style as on the show. Jordin, possibly. I'll have to hear some songs first though to get an idea if I'd like it.

Melinda was a great singer, but I'm not so sure how fast she ever was on the uptake. She seemed to have a never changing expression no matter what happened...same look whether she was praised or criticized and even when she was dropped...same ol'expression!
Of the two left...got to be Jordin...personality plus voice. Blake's beat box got tiring awful fast.
Go Jordin....you da Bomb!
