Goodbye Melinda

I am so very, very sad today. Melinda was voted off American Idol. She was my favorite... an amazing talent! Though I will say out of the top 3 she was the least marketable. I mean, look at last year's winner (man, I can't even remember his name....). He was a great talent, too, but not marketable, and as a result is now considered American Idol's first "failure." So I had to somewhat agree with America's decision based on that fact alone.

But I am still sad for her, though she went out with her head held high... lots of class.

Interesting top 2. I'll save my opinions on Blake and Jordin for next week's final results post.
