I think the American Idol judges are confused. They keep saying their show is a "singing competition." I like to think of it more a singers competition. From where I'm sitting I want the person who's album I'm going to download to be the front runner.Got a good voice? Great.
Keep me interested and curious about what you're going to do next? Even better!
The most memorable performance (minus closet-case Sanjaya) of the season game from Blake Lewis. His cover of You Give Love A Bad Name made it into the finals this evening and he knocked it out of the Kodak. It was entertaining, energetic, and, if I hadn't already put my money where my mouth is and downloaded the song from AmericanIdol.com's download store, I would have done it now. That to me is an American Idol.
There is no question Jordin is the better singer. Heck, if it was a singing competition, Melinda would have been there and won and Sanjaya wouldn't have made it past the Hollywood round. Thank God, it's not. It's a competition that uses singing to showcase personalities, creativity, stage/screen presence and general interest from the millions and millions of weekly viewers.
And, hello! If being an American Idol meant being the best singer, then why is Britney Spears one of the performers I have spent more money on than almost any other hit-maker I can think of?
While Jordin may win the title, Blake is my man.
And Chris Richardson is my lover.
And Ryan Seacrest can watch.
And, yes, I'm apparently a little randy tonight.
And that's got nothing to do with Randy Jackson.

I think the best performance of the season was Lakisha singing AND I AM TELLING YOU I'M NOT GOING during the semi-finals. That was the only one that gave me chills(and after that I thought ol' Kiki was bor-ing). Having said that, I didn't care who won. And neither did my DVR, since it cut off at the end of the SGT. PEPPER medley (loved hearing the "idols" sing "I get HIGH with a little help from my friends), so I had to go on-line to see that Jordin had won. A 2 hour finale, without the finale. A fitting end to the first A.I. season I never voted in.
