Melanie's got a good voice - but she just doesnt have the X Factor. Am hoping this is for Josh what Idol was for Chris Daughtry or Jennifer Hudson. I think Melanie would make a great back-up singer. Josh is unique - he doesn't sound like everybody else.
Thanks for the updates, no longer interested in watching tonight. Hoped Chris or Josh would win since they brought originality to their final songs last night, Melanie totally karaoked the Beyonce song last night. Since middle America mostly watches this show not surprised by the results. Good luck to the producers trying to recoup the 5 mil, the type of singer Melanie is, is not whats selling today.
Wow...so amazed that America keeps voting the same types of singers on all these types of shows. Am I the only one tired of the oversaturation of pop divas out there? I can't be...I"m sure Melanie's a sweet girl, but I just didn't think she did anything on this show to separate herself from zillions of other artists out there just like her. Move over Christina Aguilera - the pop diva market just got a little more crowded. I don't find Melanie's personality particularly likeable either. I kept getting the feeling that she had a sense of entitlement on this show, more than likely born out of the fact that Simon brought her back on the show in such a dramatic fashion. Maybe she won by design - i.e., Simon's design. He brings her back and make a big to do over how he wronged her by sending her home in the first placem and then, BINGO, she takes the five million dollar contract home? Hmm...fishy much? Ok, I'm grasping at straws, and I'm normally not one given to conspiracy theories, still...
Anyway, Josh, Chris, your ready made fan bases are awaiting your success, which will both be (hopefully) of Daughtry-esque porportions.
Woohoo for Astro performing with 50 cent!

Well, at least the audience noise wasn't as bad as it was the previous night. I think the best part of the whole evening was when young Rachel Crow totally outshined the host and hopefully showed the producers how it should be done. Someone is obviously feeding this guy his lines because when Melanie won, he kept asking her the same question over and over. He absolutely had no idea what to do when she didn't answer.
I don't think the show was rigged at all (which I don't think you're implying), but I do think Simon did initially "reject" Melanie with the intent of a good story, at the very least. Or I guess it's possible that he thought she needed a kick in the butt like that to make her work harder or maybe he may have seen a sense of entitlement in her also. But he had to know that she would be very appealing to many who watch the show. It didn't make sense that he kicked her to the curb initially. But I also had to wonder why the other judges wanted him to bring her back. Or did they really? He's the boss...Originally Posted by bee stung lips
Rachel Crow should he the host!..she is a cute as can be...she will be the most successful!
I am betting that Simon or L.A. will sign Josh & Chris.....they are both talented and now that they have been "exposed" to America hopefully they will have built enough of a fanbase to get them "sales"...the benefit to winning the big prize is the "over exposure" factor....It will be interesting to watch how these careers change and progress.....
I will say that I liked that the three were totally different......and all three had talent.
There are different levels of an entertainment career. Simon seems to push the fill up the stadium "recording artist" and even in all the years of AI, they rarely if ever had three people in a season who could do that. That being said, AI has had seasons where several people have been able to make a living performing and that is a good thing.
So the top three and a few others may be given the privilege of being an entertainer and I wish all of them the best
