wtf?! that is just SO TYPICAL, America! i mean, first you take out Melinda Dolittle who, in the history of American Idol, is the only contestant who got all praises from Simon all throughout the competition. who in the world could be more American Idol material than that??!! age over performance?? major disappointment, although not much of a shocker there. like i said, SO TYPICAL!

don't get me wrong, i'm not exactly a Blake Lewis fan myself (i was actually surprised that it was he who got in the final 2 and not Melinda) but i'd rather have him holding the title than Jordin. OK, so Jordin's a good singer 'cause she can hit high notes without glasses shattering but so can Blake! besides, Jordin never really stood out for me. yeah, she's above average yet still so ordinary. she's just OK *period. Blake though, is an equally good if not an even better singer. did you see his This Love number? amazing! although i have to admit, at some point there he did sound like some trying hard promdi with the lyrics.. still, it was a remarkable performance which earned him praises even from Mr. Simon Cowell. fact is, Blake's not just a singer, he's a PERFORMER. plus, he's got "extra features" which none of the former contenders in this season have offered --he can dance and do beatbox (which i actually find a bit gross 'cause he tends to spit on the mic but hey, that's talent). and he's cute to boot! probably the next Justin Timberlake.

i guess we should give credit to whatever brand of toothpaste Jordin uses to help her charm people into thinking that she's something else. no offense to her fans. this is like season 4 all over again! *i was so counting on Bo to win then but then Carrie did. aw.. but i love Carrie.Ü

i dunno if i'm ranting 'cause Jordin won and not Blake or if really it's because Melinda didn't. either way, i know this is stupid. haha! anyway... looking forward to season 7. especially the laugh trip auditions! hahaha! ;D
