first thought I got... my god! i ENVY you woman!!!!!! He kissed yoU!!!!!!! XD Man I love this song! Simply love it! And she sang it with attitude! and for me attitude is very important in this song... but still! He kissed her!
Ummmm..... Jordin Sparks who?..... Blake Lewis what? DOOLITTLE stands on Mt. Olympus while the undeserving pop radio built for mainstream America bullshit artists stand on ant hills
No matter how many times I watch this video, I always want to stand up and cheer. This may be my favorite alltime performance on "Idol". Melinda was SO far out of her comfort zone, and yet she came out and just NAILED the performance. She should have won!
@vjcole214 Same here as with all the rest of her performances from the show, which is why she will always be my all time favorite, & I just realized what is missing from this season wich is everything she did when she was on, from being entertaining us with an uptempo performance to inspiring us with a vulnerble ballad, & just making us wanting to come back for more, I have'nt really done it that much this season
@cullens4evr No. As much as I appriciate your opinion, she isnt a recent vocalist. She wouldnt have became successful and she has shown this by not becoming very successful even without winning. Jordin would have been where she was regardless. That goes for alot of contestants. Blake, Chris Daughtry, Lisa Tucker, Ace Young, Mandisa, Bucky, Kellie, Fantasia, Kelly Clarkson. You get the point. Im a fan of Melinda but shes missing a little something. Love her though.
Once she got eliminated from idol i stopped watching the show. I think it is complete bullshit that on every season since carrie underwood people who can't sing are fucking winning. only idols in my opinion are kelly,ruben,fantasia, and carry. the rest are just average.
but then I realized there is no reason to go crazy because she is already set thats why I didn't care any more when Jordan beat her becuase she is already going to be on top
i totally agree with illpoet1981. she made each song her own. the only week i think she struggled with was latin week. i love Jordin, but Melinda should have won.
The 4 backup singers could not keep up with her! For her first attempt at Hard Rock she was outstanding, I want to see her when she gets 6 months of practice and becomes comfortable with Rock. This lady is freeking incredible!
She's made a really crappy song into something good. One of the rare times that Idol has been better than karaoke. It's too bad she had to sing Bon Jovi, had it been an actual rockin' band, I could see her really blowing it away.
Melinda rocks!!!

Seriously, when she sings, it is effortless. No straining or whining. It is wonderful.

Agree 100%. She should have won it. But as we saw this week, the best singer/performer doesn't always win.

If the best singer wins, then Melinda wins. If the best performer wins, then Blake wins. When it comes to fan vote..

I don't know how someone can say she can only sing one type of music when she took EVERY genre of music and pulled it off...rock, and even country.
