I called Mom - "did I see that right? WTF?" Mom: "Maybe she just seemed too old. Not really the American Idol type?"
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

I suspect your mother is right, askye. Both Blake and Jordin have the appearance of being a "pop" idol. I think a lot of folks had a problem categorizing Melinda.

Well, that sucks. I guess they didn't want another adult contemporary winner after Taylor "Woo" Hicks. So sad, because Melinda was clearly the best of the three left. I guess I have to root for Blake now, because Jordin works my every last nerve. Well, it's been a while since they had a male winner . . . since Ruben. (Edit: Maybe if I try hard enough, I can make Taylor disappear. Woo!) And who would've thought after so many of the guys were sucky this year.
Disappointing finish to AI for the second season in a row. But on the good side, Elliot kicked ass even with all the scary hair and kinda crappy song. That man can flat out blow.

Anyone watching Shear Genius? OMG, Tabitha just is a prime bitch. I don't much care for Tyson either, but the way she dissed him to the judges? Damn!

I have often wondered if Melinda was as popular off-line as she is online. But this is also coming from someone who just doesn't "get" Melinda, even tho I will say she looks TONS better now than she used to.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I wonder if people just assumed everyone was voting for her so they voted for the others, thinking that they didn't need to vote for her. Does that make sense?

I think that's exactly what happened, quester.

I blame myself. I forgot to vote cause I got caught up in Heroes. And I was one assuming that Melinda was a given for the finals.

Art Crawl!!!
Shear Genius: Man, even at the end Tabitha blames Tyson for her loss. If she could have kept her mouth shut during the judging process things might have gone a bit differently. (Although, the hair really did lack cohesion.) I never expected that Dr. Boogie or Ben would outlast Tabitha.
And Daisy and Anthony did a really great job.
Also, next week looks really interesting.
