Melinda Doolittle rejected from American Idol
The most consistent and strongest singer of this season’s ‘American Idol’ has been sent back home. Melinda Doolittle’s powerful voice and ability to handle just about any type of song wasn’t enough to overcome the fan base of Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis.
The only question surrounding Doolittle, had always been her presence on stage and in the end that proved to be her downfall. While there wasn’t a single ‘Idol’ hopeful that could sing with her, there were several that learned there was more to the show than just a voice.
With Melinda gone the door is now wide open for Jordin Sparks to take the ‘American Idol’ crown. Sparks was the first to be announced as safe this week, leaving Blake and Melinda in the bottom two. Blake has had a huge following amongst the fans for his originality and inventiveness, a trait that seemed to be enough to overcome his inability to sing.
Tonight’s vote was more about Melinda and Jordin than it was about Blake. Both Doolittle and Sparks split votes as they carried a similar style while Blake has managed to create his own loyal following. Now that Melinda is gone look for Jordin to inherit her votes and take the title as season six’s ‘American Idol.’

Melinda was robbed off her
Melinda was robbed off her crown. But then, it's a popularity contest anyway. Melinda you're a star, and to Jordin and Blake - you two are the most popular - America has spoken. Very sad result.
I am digusted at the outcome
I am digusted at the outcome of this show. Melinda was the star and the best singer. Blake should not of even gotten in the top 12. This show is not worth watching anymore. Melida you are a star. I will be waiting to buy your cd in the store.
Melinda was the best thing
Melinda was the best thing to ever happen to AI.
i have never been eager to vote for a contestant until i saw melinda. I thought she had class, style and elegance. she was never cocky or proud. she was sweet simple and lovable. ALL I KNOW IS THAT W/E HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR THE BEST. I CAN BET MONEY, THAT SHE WILL BE MORE POPULAR AND SELL MORE CD'S THAN JORDIN AND BLAKE FOR SURE!!!
GOD BLESS MELINDA-YOU ARE THE AMERICAN IDOL
huh? I'll bet you any sum of
huh?
I'll bet you any sum of money that Jordin -- not Melinda -- will sell the most albums out of this bunch.
Melinda has very little pop appeal. She's all vocals and nothing else. How is it not obvious to everyone that Jordin Sparks will cream her on the charts?
Obviously the great American
Obviously the great American public who voted out
LaKisha and then Melinda, are either teenyboppers or the same people who voted for crap presidents. Shame on you.
