I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE her!!!!!!!! GODAYUMMMMM!!!!! she had me on my feet dancing in front of the puter! id buy her albums, her tickets, her music anytime! WOWWWWWW!!!
yA KNOW WHAT Melinda? I did that when I was little and it just drove me nuts nuts nuts. I am so glad that I outgrew it. It is OCD. Also i think you should have won.
Are you kidding me? Melinda is a consummate performer. Her style is not exactly my cup of tea (I prefer Folk or Rock) and I will probably never buy an album, but I would pay to see her perform any day. She draws you in and makes you believe every word she sings.
You may not like her music style, but her on-stage appeal is undeniable.
is melinda going to sell CDs like kelly clarkson or chris daughtry?....probably not...but she's a great singer who will sell plenty of CDs to her true fans and will fill venues for her live performances....and she'll make a very comfortable living doing what she loves doing....and she'll make the music she truly likes...she won't sell out
Melinda may have been the better singer but seriously she wouldn't sell records...she would be the next taylor hicks...of course she has mad vocals and is great but she wouldnt appeal to teens and veryone like Jordin does with Tatoo and No Air...Sorry just an opinion!
I'm not crazy. It's that just that she wouldn't be the next taylor hicks vocal capability wise but in selling records. She wouldn't sell enough records to make veryone go crazy and wont produce music that will be popular like No Air. She would sing old songs that only a few people would find interest. I think even if Jordin's voice isnt that good she is the true winner cause she will sell more rcords and give more credibility to Idol.
This is just an opinion. Of course she wasn't what Idol was looking for. Simon Desperetaly tried to keep her in but it didnt cut it. I dont think she will go platinum cause even she has a large fan base of older listeners nobody will go buy her CD. the truth of the matter is they'll listen to it on youtube or download it on Limewire which wont make her win any money...
okay really....like real talk...HOW this woman didnt win i have no idea...its the TWEENS!!! they're taking over the world...shit woulda turned out differently if it wasnt so many kiddies w/ cell phones..
american idol aint no real competition because real singers would have won jordan is great to though i'm glad she won and not blake because blake can't sing hes a entertainer
I was rooting for Melinda since the top 24. I have watched her performances many times and this is by far my favourite. I don't know if it would have made a difference, but her performance in the final 3 was a bit disappointing.
Without a warning, this Beautiful Songbird has come out of the shadows to beguile and entertain us with her magical voice, good humour, modesty, intelligence, and warmth.
In a matter of a few days, we are comparing her with the Great Entertainers of all time. Already she belongs with Gladys, Tina, Sarah, Ella, Whitney, CeCe, Celine, Yolanda....... !!
Am gonna vote like mad for Melinda next week as she's the most at risk of going home. It'll be a shame if she doesn't get to the final. Goodluck Melinda!
She doesn't need this show, but I keep voting because I want to see her perform three more times. She is the best singer EVER on AI. Hands down!!! When is her CD on sale??
She's awesome! I hope she wins, but sometimes people get complacent about voting for their favourite, thinking that she's safe. That was a brilliant performance!
I can't help but have the HUGEST smile on my face when I watcht this performance! She is such a dynamic performer with such versatility and range... I LOVE this and I love her! Up there w/ one of the best Idol performances ever
This was such a great performance. I think it shocked everyone because she's such an absolutely sweet lady. I think Simon summed it up pretty well >.< I'm definitely thinking she will win this idol... as long as people stop voting based on looks (Sanjaya).
Melinda and Lakisha are the only 2 talented performers this season. The only difference between the 2 is that Melinda can put her own signature on a song, while Lakisha can sometime sing like a copycat, specially when she sang I Have Nothing (she sounded almost like Whitney Houston when she sang that song). American Idol is about originality, and Melinda has got IT.
Melinda is on a different planet than every single other AI contestant this season, including the wildly overrated Lakisha. Regardless of what happens with the votes, the true American Idol is crystal clear this season.
does anyone else think she gets possesed right before the song and then somehow the singing spirit has left her right before the judging? Love how she is able to sing with as kennesaw1 says "controlled Abandon" it that type of ability that seperates famous powerhouses like aretha franklin from people like Lakisha who can belf but dont have the complete control that Aretha and Melinda have. VERY NICE
Lakisha has a good voice, but not as good as Melinda's. What will put Melinda way over the top is her stage experience. Lakisha sings well, but Melinda is a PERFORMER! There's a huge difference. (And I agree -- let's just put the two of them in the ring and get this overwith, 'cause the rest of the field is out of the competition at this point.
I love how she is like in a whole diff world when she sings but when shes done shes like "ehhh how did I do" lol..shes so cute..and also...the best performer on there...her and lakisha..but melinda..omg..this performance...the best ever
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE her!!!!!!!! GODAYUMMMMM!!!!! she had me on my feet dancing in front of the puter! id buy her albums, her tickets, her music anytime! WOWWWWWW!!!
