American Idol 6

My Final Two Cents until Tuesday......my bet will be that Blake goes home next week and it will be down to the Show-stopping three. After that, there is no telling, but I honestly think Melinda may be the last one standing. But who cares????? All of them have contracts already waiting on the table, waiting for them to get booted off. And when you think about it, when you win A.I., when you cut your first album, you have NO input. Why would you want to win a contract like that? At least, when you shop the thousands of contracts waiting on the table, you can negotiate and keep a level authority for your album. So I honestly think that being the top 5 is just as good as winning, because really, you have made it. Look at the past "losers". Jennifer Hudson is a prime example.

I'm not ready to see Blake go. I loved his performance this week. I was pretty happy with Chris and Phil leaving. Now if LaKiesha would just go away... Pretty sure it will be Jordin and Melinda in the final 2.

I remember Chris Daughtry saying that not winning American Idol was the best thing that could have happened to him. He seems to be doing well.

I agree... his debut album easily outsold Taylor & Kathryn's.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't think it really matters who wins anymore... some of the non-winners have gone on to beat record sales of the "winners" anyway.

The winner will be LaKisha or Melinda. It's a black woman's turn. Everytime I explain this to people they are like "ahh whatever"... but really I believe it's set up.

Kelly- white woman
Ruben- black man
Fantasia- black woman
Carrie- white woman
Taylor- white man

(I think I have those out of order and am missing someone)

I don't think race matters in winning AI. It will be someone who is NOT from the South (if you consider Texas and OK to be a part of the South).

Kelly: Austin
Ruben and Taylor: AL
Fantaisa: NC
Carrie: OK

And considering Kathrine was the first member of the final two that was not from the South, I think that the runner up won't be from the South either.

This proves my point (about North Carolina and Alabama).

Random, but I thought Kelly was from Mansfield (which is around Arlington, TX).. for some reason I remember the news making a big deal about when the family home went up for sale (since obviously nothing else newsworthy was going on at the time

)

It doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, but I was just throwing it out there.

i hope Blake goes tonight.. he is the weakest vocalist left... Phil was better than this dude

I know, but I always heard she was from Austin.

And Simon and them got their wish tonight.

I'm glad Melinda is gone... she reminded me a little too much of Shrek for some reason and I didn't see the whole super-awesome thing about her.

I don't see that for Blake or Jordin either, but Jordin is my fav of the two

But what about a mixed race woman like Jordin? It's really time for that...and guess the poor Asians and Latinos will never have a chance...

Lol I thought Jordin was Latina!

Have they ever had Asians become final members besides the guy that, I think, was first kicked off? William Hung doesn't count.

What about the Season 3 finalist? Deana DeGarmo (sp?)
Was she Latin?
