I can’t believe I have been dragged along for the last few months investing my time, attention and interest in this show. I found some encouragement when I saw the pathetic curly headed kid go down, despite all the effort of those who wished to sabotage the show by electing the most unlikely candidate. From the first round I knew that Melinda Doolittle would be writing her own ticket for a record contract before the season was over. Now I know this to be the case. How many of us were ready to buy her album two months ago after dazzling us with such amazing vocals and talent? I believe Melinda Doolittle was done-in by her own talent. The woman already has proved the talent and following to begin a career as a soloist and will no doubt top the record sales of whoever the show touts as the new “American Idol”. Could it be that this is why she was eliminated so early? Don’t get me wrong, I would never question the integrity of Idols voting systems, after all whats more reliable than a text message?
My opinion? Too much money at the top if Doolittle wins. She had to be thrown off now so that Simon could squeak a few more dollars from these other two wanna be’s.
Last night was the last time I will ever watch American Idol. It is such a joke. It is sad when the best singer in the show’s history is not in the finale. It was obvious from the beginning that Melinda was head and shoulders above her competitors. She gave a great performance each and every time. She demonstrated her versatility eith style and grace. It is such a shame.
