It wasn't a shocker when Ryan Seacrest announced last night that Melinda Doolittle - probably the best singer ever to appear on "American Idol" - was voted off and won't be in the final two. She had the vocals, but the 29-year-old didn't have the star appeal - no neck, creepy teeth, a bit heavy, and too humble.
Melinda's departure sets up a finale next week that will pit 17-year-old Jordin Sparks against Blake Lewis, 25, who has won praise for his risk-taking arrangements.
"Congratulations to you two," a frowny Cowell said, covering his face. "My commiserations, Melinda, 'cause you are one heck of a singer."
Given her vast professional experience as a backup singer and her amazing talent, the judges assured Melinda that her career will now take off. "You already have made it," Paula Abdul said.
Comments
too heavy? too humble? are you kidding? look at ruben studdard for crying out loud?
and what about jordin sparks? she's not exactly petite now is she? who wrote this crap? blake can barely sing, and jordin is only good at certain types of songs.
it's probably better that she didn't win anyway, because with the exception of kelly clarkson no winner of idol has been more successful than the runners up.
