# 5

That’s unfair.I don’t care about AI.

# 6

NO WAY!!!! SHE IS THE BEST!!!! Anyway, I am sure she will HUGE VERY SOON!!!

# 7

SOOOOOOOO HAAAPPPY! melinda was not that great. she is black and all black ppl can sing no offense but its true. she is also TOO old to be an american idol she is like 27-28. Did u watch her hometown thing…they were ALL elderly ppl out to support her. Melinda also always did this AWFUL throaty thing that was pretty annoying. Jordin is sure to win!!!!!!!!

melinda and lakisha are better off not having the AI label on them, everyone know they’re good and now they can have more options to choose from then just being stuck with AI. Its a blessing in disguise look at jennifer hudson.

oh also.. Melinda has ZERO personality or a neck… she cant relate to any of the fans and thats why she got beat out by Jordin and Blake, cuz they are personable. Everytime she got a compliment she would stare blankly at them and say “.. thank u..”.. now all u ppl complaining, did u bother to vote for Melinda? Im in Canada so I cant vote but if i could i would have voted 100 times for Jordin

JORDON TO WIN!!!!!!!

JORDON TO WIN HANDS DOWN!!!!

^^^^ i mean… *ahem*

JORDIN!!!!

oh snap oragatang face went home???
I never watch this show but all I kept hearing was how good she was.

Colbert ROCKS! @ 05/16/2007 at 10:11 pm

She is a good singer for a certain type of music … not for most of america obivously. She sings songs that were on records before she even born, what kind of CD would she put out? She will be fine and get her gig she is not american idol material, sorry she would not selll millions of records like the other idols have … better voice yes but not for all music so that is why she left tonight. not because jordin or blake are better singers, american idenifies more with their style then someone that sings from 1960’s

lurker opinion @ 05/16/2007 at 10:14 pm

Wow I’m really surprise. Well this just goes to show the judges opinions don’t matter because they LOVED her.

Jordin should have gone home!!!

[Fug Face [You]] @ 05/16/2007 at 10:17 pm

“Shocker”?!? Ha This wasn’t a shocker Zacessa and those HSM kids getting a thread a day is a shocker. I knew the platypus was going home.

Oh katie Hmmmm… you poor girl, For the black thing I would really like to back-smacked you ever so gently across your neck. [j/k] Lol But I do agree with you, she’s to old.

So sad tho, she well never be a successful solo artist, she fcuking ugly, boring, and completely unmarketable. I think Shrek should get back into her old profession of mascot-ting

nobody can deny the girl can’t sing. BUT, they never once advised her to sing something contemporary. i’m not sure the girl every went past 1965, i mean honestly. i think that is what did her in. she felt old, her sound was old.

a bunch of young people voting and voting want something a little more contemporary, i think. oh well.

Melinda is a great singer. Hopefully, she will get a recording contract. Jordin will probably win American Idol. She has the looks and talent that Simon wants to market. Blake is good and has the teen votes. It should be a close race.

Jordin should have gone home weeks ago!!! I`m not gonna watch the finale because of her. She is a phony and she is not that good at all!!!

That really sucks! If anyone deserves to be Idol, it’s Melinda. She’s someone whose concerts I want to go to and whose albums I want to buy. Vocally superior to the other two. Although Jordin is very good, she needs a few more years experience before she’s idol material. Now I don’t want to watch the finale. SIGH!

Colbert ROCKS! @ 05/16/2007 at 10:31 pm

I agree about her lack of personality, at 1st I thought she was very humble the way she always looked shocked but when Simon called her out on “stop acting shocked” she then didnt know how to act and just looked emotional less. Randy took her out of her comfort zone last night and gave her a Whitney song 20 yrs later then her usually songs but still 20 years ago … American made the right choice. Good news is the show gave her tools to make herself look better, I am sure she wanted to cry watching the early footage of seeing the fact that she didnt have a neck, ugh!

I know alot of you are probably mad about Melinda leaving, but know that either way Melinda is gonna have a great career. She’s a great singer and performer. I think alot of people thought she was gonna be safe today, and got lazy with voting for her.

As for the final 2

Blake and Jordin were always my favorite and I’m glad thier there. Blake doesn’t have the best voice, but he was overall the better male throughout it. He kept true to himself, and was truly the most orginal we’ve seen in awhilee. I think Jordin’s gonna take it this year. She’s young, marketable, and has a great voice that anyone can

Thank goodness, i’ve been hoping for her hype to end for a while. Go Jordin.

She kinda looks like 50 cent

[Fug Face [You]] @ 05/16/2007 at 10:39 pm

Finals ratings will be the best ever.

i had a feeling she was going home, i should have voted

JORDIN SUCKS!!!!

BLAKE SUCKS!!!!

I FEEL SO BAD FOR MELINDA, ITS SO SAD

PS. CAN ANYONE ON HERE NOTICE JUSTJARED’S BIAS? ITS OBVIOUS THAT THE NIGHT MELINDA DID GOOD, HE DIDNT POST HER VIDEO! BOO! SHAME ON YOU!

OMG I am so happy . I have always expressed how I wanted a Jordin/Blake finale and thats what its going to be. I like Jordin just a tad bit more than Blake but I dont care who wins I will be buying both their records. Now if only Dancing with the Stars will have Apolo win I will be in reality show heaven.

Toronto via La @ 05/16/2007 at 11:20 pm

I love melinda, i am heart broken, I am not going to buy blake or jordin’s cd, I believe as some one said it before that this is a blessing in disguise, I know melinda will do better, look who america voted in last year as their idol, taylor hicks, chris never one and he is still doing better, i wish melinda all the best

Well, I’m not even going to watch the result show tonight (I’m on the west coast) — and I have officially stopped watching AI tonight. This pisses me off, I actually had stopped watching AI since season 3, and started watching this season when I saw Melinda sang “I’m a Woman” a few months ago (before the Top 12). I’m disappointed.

katie honey,

I’m not sure if you realize this — but your comment on Melinda being black and all black people can sing is completely racists. You might not think so, but it is. And not only you made a racist remark, but you’re also “agist” — old people, she’s too old.

Please get some education!

I HATE people who make comment about other people’s “physical limitation” — like the “no neck” — or I also heard and read people write about Hllary Swank having a “horse face” — I mean, EVEN IF it’s true — it’s not like there’s anything they could do about it. Why go there? Are you that miserable in life that the only thing you could feel good about yourself is to attack the aspect they don’t really have any control over?

[Fug Face [You]] @ 05/16/2007 at 11:41 pm

Lmao I cant stop laughing at - “Please get some education” omg that’s funny.

help it please @ 05/17/2007 at 12:00 am

If this Jordin girl wins, there is something she can do about it: GO ON A DIET! She should take better care of herself and look like a star. Jordin isn’t as heavy as some, but with her pretty face, she needs to run or something to be more marketable. THESE BIG GIRLS WITH GREAT VOICES ARE GETTING ON MY NERVES!

At the end of the day, looks won over talent.

Melinda is one of the most talented and gifted singer I ever heard. Best of luck to her!

Blake is a novelty that just gets annoying overtime. As for Jordin, she has a nice timbre if only she could consistently keep a tune ……

The two left are not really the best talents but I must agree with the voting public, they sure are easy to look at!

So fing pissed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RECOUNT NOW, THAT’S SOME BOGUS ****!!!

Mondo Bongo @ 05/17/2007 at 12:18 am

Katie ~ as a “black ppl” let me say this, you and American Idol can
suck it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ENJOY ~

WTF?!!!!! this is very upsetting… mel and jor are the best!!!!

well now the rest of the world know how americans do their vote!!!!…..

Can’t say I’m surprised by tonight’s results, really.
Melinda has an extraordinary voice, but I don’t think most 15-year-old American kids would even bother to purchase some Whitney/Tina Turner-ish album.
I’m not being bias, but it’s apparent that Blake is going to have the most commercial success out of the lot of them. Jordin, I love Jordin but the girl’s a tad young (seriously, “Mmmbop”?!) and she hasn’t garnered much music knowledge at the moment. I don’t know how she would turn out considering she would have zero control over her album.

Yay, I’m so happy that Blake is still in. I was shocked to see Melinda go, though. She probably had one of the best voices on American Idol ever. But even if Melinda or Jordan had won, there’s really nothing about them that seperates them from all other girls who can sing. Even if they make an album, after a few years they’ll be forgotten about. They can sing, but that’s all they can do. Blake doesn’t have the best voice, but Blake is the most creative. Blake is very unique, and that’s really important if you wanna make it big. You need so much more than just a good voice.

faithinher @ 05/17/2007 at 12:42 am

That really sucks! Blake doesn’t deserve to be in the finals.

DoolittleFan CCornel @ 05/17/2007 at 1:14 am

I too am going to boycott American Idol next week and the following season. I’m just so sick and tired of this bullshit with the votes and all. Everyone knows that Melinda was the best — right from the beginning when she sang “My Funny Valentine,” which is what sold me.

So Melinda consistently does good and gets booted this close to being a finalist? !! In favor of Blake? (That beatbox **** he does has been tired for weeks now) I mean, every song? Can he really use his voice to sing or not? And Jordin? You gotta be kidding !! Can carry a tune, but she’s inconsistent and doesn’t have no way near the training that Melinda had. Both she and Blake are neophytes. And they get to be the finalists? Bullshit !! It’s such an insult to Melinda and those of us fans who can actually decipher between a real singer from a wannabe singer.

I’m so through with this show. For six seasons now it’s been the same old bullshit with the voting process. I’m so tired of investing my time and emotion into this show ending with the obviously more talented contestants out on their butts.
Anybody remember Tamyra Grey? LaTanya? Bo Bice? Hell, I’ll go out on a limb — Katherine McFee? All of those finalists or semi-finalists most certainly should have won the title besides those who did. But because of AI’s fucked up voting process they didn’t. I’ve been saying for years that this **** is rigged. I mean, why else is American Idol the only contestant talent show that doesn’t involve the judges votes? “Dancing with the Stars” has a process where they allow you to vote via phone AND by computer, with a limited number of votes each, which are combined with the judges votes. The same goes with “So You Think You Could Dance?” — at least for most of the show. But with AI they allow people to vote with abandon a thousand times over ! Is that fair? Doesn’t even sound like it’s meant to be fair?

So somebody please tell me, what the hell are the AI judges there for except to critique and make snide comments to each other? They really have no purpose except to try and influence the voters. This stinks. And it’s the last time I’m going to watch the show. I’m boycotting, for real. Like I said, it’s a total waste of my time when the producers allow the public to consistently chose the wrong finalists and winners. I’m done. AI, Simon, Randy, Paula, the show’s producers, and those dumb ass fans who voted for Blake (listen up Elisabeth Hasselback and Rosie O’Donnell — who unflinchingly and unfairly promoted and urged viewers every week to vote Blake) could go and **** themselves. I’ve had it !!

And live with ya’ll dumb ass decision. I’m signing that petition.

Melinda did actually good on tuesday but i was so happy that she went off cause the show has been way too predictable and now someone else has a chance….

Good Luck 2 Blake and Jordin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i actually think that melinda’s first song the other night was a mess, and that the judges were covering it up!

i think that if melinda won AI she would be just like fantasia, not that successful.

anyway, i’m rooting for jordin!

Awwww! I LOVED Melinda! Da-uhm that gal could sing…Well when you think about it it’s good she didn’t win so now she won’t have that idol tag on her head to shake off and she can do really well like Chris Daughtry did

I dont know why all of you guys keep saying that jordin has the “look” she looks like a drag queen, thats what the “look”is!!

DoolittleFan CCornel @ 05/17/2007 at 1:49 am

I suspect what they mean by “the look” is that she’s biracial — lighter skin, longer hair, youthful. Somehow that equals “more marketable” than, let’s say Melinda or LaKeisha, or any of the totally black women on the show. But I say it equals some racist, double-standard bullshit.

queeneetha @ 05/17/2007 at 2:16 am

BLAKE AND jORDIN, those guys are the best, the are young, fresh, contemporary.

Melinda was a professional singer and I don’t think that was actually that good for her. She was so good, it didn’t even seem whe was in the same contest, but that made her totally unexciting.

I can’t imagine any c.d. I would buy from her. NOW BLAKE!!!!! THAT IS ANOTHER STORY. He’s fun, fresh, a better singer than maroon 5. He will do great, I am so excited for him. Also Jorden is so geniune and loveable, what a great commodity for american Idol. I hope she wins. She will need to for her career to take off. Not the other 2.

They were all good.

Nobody cares if you are going to boycott. NOBODY. It makes NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL. You are a nobody.

Melinda was old, ugly and dated. She same the same every week, nothing unique or different. All her songs started to sound exactly the same with those god awful UGLY facial expressions that just made people wince looking at her.

She isn’t American Idol material. Nobody would buy her cd’s and thats the bottom line. Nobody as in people who matter, not the few losers on this site screaming like 2yr olds WAHHHH WAHHHH IMMA GONNA BOYCOTT.

you can say what you want, but she always looked like retarted person (+fatie) so you thing label record companys would like to produce CD with her face on them ?

The Real Deal @ 05/17/2007 at 3:23 am

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat????????????????????????????????
That’s crazy!

Not watching the final!
F@ck them!!!!!!!!!

All you guys, neither Melinda, Blake or Jordin deserve to win. Mighty Sanjaya should have won!!! Hahahahah…American Idol would have made history that way!!!!!!!!!!

@ Katie….you stupid, racist *****!!! Not all black people can sing. I know, I’m black. I can’t even comment more. That’s propably the most ignorant thing I have ever heard.

DoolittleFan CCornel @ 05/17/2007 at 8:03 am

Loser: Aptly titled. I speak for millions of Doolittle Fans who know she was robbed. A boycott will do good to show the producers have to do something to stop this stupid **** every year in putting the wrong people in the finals. So stick it !!

You’re a loser indeed. And you have absolutely no idea WHO I AM?

– DoolittleFan

Jordin is a hack, she cant sing in my honest opinion, she does this billygoat yak thing with her voice. Blake cant carry a tune to save his life, he breaks out the beatbox as some sort of special trick, but it is redundant and lazy. Melinda is talented,beautiful, and can sing her ass off. Simon loved her and was royally pissed last night that she left. But, Idol can sometimes be a curse, so maybe she is better off leaving, but she should have won in my opinion. And to the ignorant ass who said “All Black People Can Sing”, that is the most racist comment I have ever heard, and I am sure that your mentality is the reason Melinda was voted off in the first place, but in a way you have proven my point by saying she was better than those other lames. And to the ones who are making cracks about her appearance, besides Carrie Underwood, what American Idol winner should be America’s Next Top Model? Kelly Clarkson, NO, Rueben Studdard, NO, Fantasia, NO, and The Grey Haired Guy, because I honestly dont remember his name, HELL TO THE NAW!!

Oh and another thing, LMAO at Kathy Griffin playing Blake’s dumb ass on The View
, she said that recently when she met him that he gave her a comedy reel as an audition. She basically said that he is not in it for the singing, but for the fame. She also said that it really wont help him when he is working in the mall in about six months. With Jordin I see no edge or talent, it is basically marketable looks, but that only gets you so far. Just ask Katherine Mcphee.

MELINDA IS THE BEST. The finale is not interesting anymore…. Hik. Hi jared, where is melinda’s video?

#9 babie blush
You’re right. It’s a blessing . She will be bigger the Blake or Jordin. Just like Jennifer Hudson. Everyone knows Melinda was the best singer. She will sell more records. I guess Clive Davis will be signing her now. MO Money, MO MONEY

I am so mad.
Jordin us a huge cow, without that make up she would look like bigfoot. Blake is really not that talented, I mean, did you hear Elliott Yamin last night? His voice is far superior.
I’m not watching the finale!

I am surpise that Melinda got sent home. Shes the most talented of all. But I am sure she will get a recording deal and she will have a better career than whoever win next week..

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Since Melinda is not in the final (SAD….), I am Rooting for Blake!!!!!! He is just a new fresh air for the AI. Although Jordin is a good singer, but we have much better singer from the previous AI, such as….Kelly C, Fantasia & Carrie Underwood. It’s nice to have Blake as the AI winner, he brought something diffrent to AI.

I honestly believe she didn’t deserve to be there in the first place.

Melinda will be fine with or without “american idol” attached to her name. She’s by far one of the best singers to come out of that show, give or take a few names, kelly clarkson, chris from last year, elliot amin-who was great last night. By this time next year we’ll all be hearing her new hits on the radio.

[Fug Face [You]] @ 05/17/2007 at 3:13 pm

Melinda was the best - she was the best mascot I’ve ever seen.

Jordin should have gone home..she’s too perky and fake. Blake for the win!

Melinda has a great voice, but she is booooooooooring, who is going to buy her album???

BLAKE is the best, he is so cool, talented and original, I want him to win!!!!

I hate this!!!
Why did they kick Melinda out???? I don’t get this…
Well, Jordin is good but not as GOOD as Melinda (she’s beyond her).
Blake??? What the f*** is this??? He could only do the beatboxing, that’s all…
MELINDA & LAKISHA, THEY’RE THE BEST!!!

eh melinda will be fine w/o Idol, so no biggie. she’s not as marketable (on a show like AI) as blake or jordin. they’re much younger and fresher.. ppl like that. and btw, what on earth is “katie” talking about that all black people can sing?! even a “good” stereotype is still a stereotype. and trust me, i’ve heard my fair share of tone-deaf black people.

I dislike Melinda.
Yes she can sing.
But she doesn’t have what it takes too be an AI winner.
There all beautiful & have a neck.

Go Jordin.
