Melinda was always my favorite in Season 6. And I’m very disappointed that she didn’t win. ‘Sides, I never liked Jordin The Dinosaur.

Melinda has obviously the best singing voice that has ever appeared on Idol. When I listened to her sing you could tell that every other contestant would have to spend the rest of their lives to even be half that good. As a record producer myself, I was wondering how she could be “packaged” to further her career. As we all know the recording industry is trying to create superstars because that sells records to the kids mostly, but I can’t wait to sit down with a glass of Chardonnay and thoroughly enjoy Melinda’s debut album. She will be a mainstay long after Jordin, & Blake get flashed in the pan.

I voted for Melinda and Blake. I started Tuesday night thinking that I would vote for Jordin but I was not overly impressed by her performance. On the other hand Blake really surprised me. He got into “a good groove”, refused to reprise earlier songs and gave his all to the contest. I like Jordin but sometimes her efforts are a little subpar, discounting gems such as “I who have nothing” and “A broken wing” which, frankly, Jordin sings like no other. Melinda, I’m sure will make a great CD and I’ll buy it.
(Thus concludes the voting of the NJ jury on the east coast)

I don’t know, I was just about dancing in the living room when Melinda did Nut Bush City Limits.

Melinda’s very talented and has millions of fans. They just weren’t as rabid as Blake’s or Jordan’s. And while she may have been the most consitant, frankly, nothiing she did all season was as exciting as Blake’s “You Give Love a Bad Name.” Melinda delivered every week, and Jordan often faultered– but her “I Who Have Nothing” was also more exciting than most of Melinda’s work. My point is is Melinda was constostant…. but when the others hit their bullseye… it was something special.
