What can I say? I thought for sure Melinda Doolittle would have been kicked off weeks ago. Honestly I did. She sings well; Great job Melinda for being an excellent singer. Sadly in life it takes more than just being able to do something successfully, you need that wow factor that separates you from the pack. Last year Elliot Yamin didn’t have the wow factor; if anything he had a scary strange persona. After a year of training, jaw surgery, veneers, and growing out his hair, Elliot has been thrown into the pool of elite idols. His great voice is backed by star power; he looks great, sounds great, and has stellar communication skills. Melinda hid behind her modest, humble act too long and got ousted last night because of this factor. I could see Jordan or Blake winning the idol finale, they both have what it takes. Jordan is only seventeen and is outgoing. Blake can mix up any song and as Paula would say, “he makes it fresh.” Yes I would like Blake to win, but no I really don’t care at this point who takes it in the end.
