Yes, that’s my prediction. Although I thought Melinda Doolittle was going to win American Idol I can’t pick her, because she got the boot last week. I’ve been more wrong than right this season, but I do think that Jordin Sparks will take home the title tomorrow evening.

Why Jordin? Well, honestly I’m surprised that Blake Lewis made it to the finals. Don’t get it wrong, Blake is one talented singer, but he has had more bad nights than Jordin has. In fact, I think Jordin has had only a single bad night since the contestants were whittled down to the top 24. Plus Jordin has a very likeable personality to go with her talent, good looks and more main stream appeal.

This is coming from me being the person who couldn’t stand main stream music when I was a kid and into my early adult life. Disco was an aberration to me and top 40 music was never played on my radio. And to be as real as I can be, I would probably buy Blake’s CD before I would buy one from Jordin, but this isn’t about what I like, It’s about what 40 to 50 million votes want. Notice I didn’t say voters.

It’s pretty simple, Jordin will get more votes because the Beatboxing thing, no matter how cool it is, doesn’t resonate with as many people as a down-to-earth, smiling, attractive female singer who can sing in a variety of styles and make it work.

Unfortunately I probably won’t be able to see the finals tomorrow night because I will be out of town so I might not write another blog after this evening’s assessment until Sunday May 27th.

Tune in tonight and see if you can figure out who will win American Idol tomorrow evening.

      Way to go Jordin! You have made us proud here in Glendale, AZ!
      Can’t wait to join all of your fans tomorrow at Westgate to celebrate your win!

      Your last song, “This Is My Now”, made me cry.

      I am very happy that America got it right this time by voting Jordin - a young and beautiful girl with the golden voice - to be the 2007 American Idol. As for Melinda, I have every confidence that she is going to be a great and successful singer. I think jazz/blues/soulful genre with fit her well. As for Blake, I think he should have a successful career as a producer/arranger. Call me tone deaf, but I really enjoy his performance only when I turn on the Mute button.
