And Then There Were 3

There has never been 3 more deserving people in the final 3 of American Idol. Anyone of these fine people could win and I would be happy.
No smart ass comments today. These 3 don't deserve it. This week the finalists visited their home cities, and had to rehearse 3 songs instead of 2. It was a short and emotional week for each of them. But that's what we are looking for. A real professional.

The first song was selected by the judges, the second by the producers (they probably get royalties or somehow make money) and the third song selected by the performers.

From Glendale, Arizona, Simon selected "Wishing on a Star" for Jordin.

From Bothell, Washington, Paula selected "Roxanne" for Blake.

From Nashville, Tennessee, Randy selected "I Believe in You and Me" for Melinda.

First round goes to Melinda followed by Jordin.

The producers chose "She Works Hard for the Money" for Jordin.
Then they chose "This Love" for Blake.
To close out the producers choices, Melinda sang "NutBush City Lights".

Second round goes to Melinda followed by Blake.

For their final number, Jordin selected "I Who Have Nothing". Blake sang "When I Get You Alone" and Melinda ended the show with "I'm a Woman".

Third round goes to Melinda followed by a tie.

OK folks, its almost over we've to come to love these folks. I really have no opinion this week. It's up to you.

Jordin has become the most improved. She's developed into a professional and will be a great recording artist.
Blake is the most original performer ever on Idol. He's got the looks, the talent and the personality to go far.
Melinda has been the most consistent contestant. Her personality hasn't come out until the last few weeks. She's hot.

I think because of the demographics of the voters and this weeks show, the two finalists will be Melinda and Blake. But let's see how the votes fall.

Again, good season and good week.

Until Next Week - Wise OUT.
