Seriously, is it obvious that they thought Melinda Doolittle would be in the finale or what? I mean that horrible song could have been more written for her. I am a fan of his, but even if i wasnt i would have felt really sorry for him. Agree?

Absolutely... they need to stop trying to change around the show. That song definitely made it unfair, really sucked (sorry songwriters), and wasn't needed at all. They kept reminding us that it was a "singing competition", but if it really was, Melinda would be winning tonight.
Edit: Haha, go Meggy! I voted for Blake 40 times, not that it will matter. I pay for a data package, so they're not getting anything more from me anyway. Mwah-ha-ha You guys never know though, the dynamics of this voting thing are wierd. When people assume someone will win, they don't vote for them. Also, Meg is right, the winner is forced to go with the contract and career AI sets out. Blake will do much better in the long run.

Blake song- This is a singing competition and you have to be handle whatever they throw at you. You should be able to sing whatever they throw at you, or at least try. Blake wasn't really his effort in the last song, he seemed bored. Remember when Jordin sang the rock song and it was written for a male a few weeks ago? She was bad, but she really tried and the judges gave her a point for that. And Melinda practically couldn't even spell the words rock'n'roll let alone know anything about the genre. But she did great that night. I would have enjoyed it more if he really tried. (And he looked like he was getting into it, but you could tell he was faking it.)

Yeah, but at this point, it doesn't even matter. Whoever has the most fans will win. Jordin and Blake are so different, I don't think there's ANYONE who jumped ships based on the Finale performances.
They're both winners at this point and they'll both have a rewarding career. Blake doesn't need the AI title to do well for himself.

Totally agree! Those two songs were not fitted for Blake, he had a difficult time singing them. I really think Blake will not win and I was hoping he would.

I think the songs they write for these guys always suck.... Jordin even had a hard time with it... but I think she did well with each song she had.... Blake knew he couldn't do anything with that song... but he did give it a shot...
Did you notice at the end of the show when they recaped the songs.... they change the ending of that song for Jordin... because she choked up at the end.... and the recap ... didn't reflect that.

Last year they wanted Katherine Mcphee to win so bad that they gave her a different song. This year they give Blake and Jordin the same song. That makes no sense. Blake has a wonderful voice. He is so contemporary they could have gotten a million songs for him to sing. Come to think of it they had three songs last year, one for Elliott, one for Taylor and one for Katherine. Taylor didn't like his song so he sang Elliott's song. So they really didn't want Taylor to win.

The song was hideous! But they both had to sing it. Blake just doesn't have the vocal ability to rise above the material, Jordin does. He has a lot of creativity, but she's a better singer by far.

Hey it's a contest and if you cant sing what is picked to bad. Jordin did do so much better and that is not her fault. The both have a future and that is all that counts.
They don't SCREW anyone they just try to see who is the better singer and I have to say it's Jordin. It is sad not to see Melinda make it to the finals but hey she will make it big also so that is all that matters. GO JORDIN GO..

Yeah, it definitely did...that's what I thought would seal the deal for Jordin before they sang it. Every year they choose a slow, ballad type song like that....obviously not something Blake would want to sing.
He is better off losing and doing his own thing....I wouldnt want to sing that awful song again if I were him.

oh my gosh yes. they do that every year. they chose a song that only one person can sing well. the producers do that to swing the vote im sure. i was so angry!! blake is so talented and he's not just another cookie-cutter idol like jordan yes. yes, shes talented, but shes not interesting. blake was screwed last night. but i still voted for him 27 times.
