Tribute to Melinda!

Wow! What a shocker...for the second year in a row the best singer has been voted off American Idol before their time.
I will admit that I was very upset on Wednesday and quite frankly still don't care if I watch the finale now but I have to remember that Chris Daughtery should have won last year. Look where he is on the top of the charts....where is Taylor Hicks? Melinda will do well....this was not the end for Melinda.
As an added bonus, the AI tour will be in Phoenix the day of my birthday...guess where I will be!!!

It's a competition!!

I did make myself watch American Idol tonight. I may be sick...but I'm not dead!! I do believe we now have a competition going!! Melinda was still my top pick but Blake, Jordin, and Chris were right there with her!
Sanjaya was the worst...but I have a feeling Phil will leave. The judges were right...the song was good but there didn't seem to be any feeling behind it. He just doesn't seem to connect with the audience. I love Gina but she needs to be careful that she doesn't fall into the same trap.
My bottom three...Sanjaya, Haley, and Phil. Of course Sanjaya should leave....but Phil most likely will.

Chris Sligh
Have you read the articles in which Chris
Sligh is quoted as saying that he was considering quitting Idol before he was voted out and that he never wanted to win anyway. He also said that he didn't do that poorly last week and was voted out because of the judges comments. What a poor loser. I don't see him complaining about the money he will be receiving from the summer tour!

Did I call it or Did I call it??
Chris Sligh went home tonight - the only surprise was that Sanjaya wasn't in the bottom three. Next week is his exit...that is my prediction. Remember....you heard it here first!
Gwen Stefani was awesome tonight. Very impressive. I would love to go see her on tour!
Just a few more days until the weekend!!
Have a great Thursday!!

Gwen Stefani
I gained a lot of respect for Gwen Stefani tonight. Wow - she is gorgeous! I have never seen her outside of her traditional performance attire. She also seemed to have a good understanding of the contestants and the music they were singing.
I thought the worst performance of the night was Chris Sligh (you thought I was going to say Sanjaya didn't you). I would not be surprised if he left tomorrow. Best of show goes to Melinda (of course) followed by Phil , Jordin, and LaKisha.
And no matter what Simon said...Melinda looked good!
By the way - I voted for her 30 times. Yes, I understand I have no life.
Happy Tuesday!

Was this really a surprise?

I have been reading articles all day about how it was a surprise that Stephanie went home. Maybe I was the only one who wasn't surprised. Before leaving work yesterday, I made the comment that either Stephanie or Sanjaya would be going home. Sanjaya was saved because of the teary eyed girl he hugged.
Another article said Stephanie went home because she sang early in the two hour show. Enough with the excuses. It was a bad performance. 2nd only to Sanjaya - who probably was in the bottom three...possibly not revealed because of all of the notoriety the show is receiving from the controversy.
Everyone needs to remember you have to be at the top of your game every week to stay on the show. Melinda, Jordin, and Blake seem to know this. The rest of the contestants...I'm not so sure.

Melinda Doolittle

Wow! I just watched her performance on American Idol tonight. I had never heard the song...didn't particularly care for the song...but she sang the song like no one's business. At the end it was obvious that she was so appreciative to be there. If she doesn't win this competition there is something wrong!

American Idol 6
I thought American Idol
6 was appropriate for post
600. Not really...but I couldn't come up with anything else significant that had the number six in it.
I watched all of the American Idol shows from last week (thank you TiVo) today. I agree that the girls are going to dominate this year.
I even have a prediction. I think that Melinda Doolittle will be the next American Idol. Just a hunch...she has the voice plus the sweetest personality. You have to love someone who is good and doesn't act like they know it!

Wow...Olivia Newton John looks bad is my first comment about tonight. Can you say face lift?
Did you see the old guy who lost his wife to cancer two days before the audition. I will admit that it tugged at the heart strings...but really...it's like Extreme Makeover Home Edition...it doesn't mean nearly as much when you know the show is trying to make you cry. Just my opinion...
