She's 29?  I seriously thought she was 17.  19 at the most.

And this is why Blake and Jordin will sell nothing - because idiot kids vote 100 times for the same person, yet they'll maybe pay to download one song....artificially inflated fanbase.....

 

I saw this on Access Hollywood. I had to go check my DVR of the results show to verify it. He does say it, and then they cut to the couch and Melinda has this stunned look on her face.

 

I'm sure he was just teasing the video package, but he knows at the top of the show who's going, and has to give the result from memory. He told Ellen a couple of weeks ago that it's usually just him and the producers who know, most times even the judges don't know. And his card is blank, because taller contestants were able to see the result before he read it in the past. So he feels this panic as he's about to say the name, hoping that he says the right name, lol.

 

I wonder if his phrasing in that video tease was a Freudian slip.

 

 

I heard about that and watched again and he was talking about her trip home obviously.

 

Did you see her trip home by the way? She had less than half the crowds Jordin and Blake had. I do think it's due to her age because clearly she is the better of the two.

 

I honestly think her career will be awesome and long lasting. Blake's will go nowhere. Jordin's might.

Me too Avidly.

 

Melinda is a mature, seasoned singer and as great as she is, her "audience" isn't going to be jumping around, screaming and voting a jillion times. They will, however, be very likely to actually buy a CD.

 

She's going to do very well, I'm not worried in the slightest about her.

 

I do hope Jordin's well-grounded (it seems that she is), cuz she's just a baby really, and this business will chew you up and spit you out so fast, you don't even remember getting bitten! Seems as if her family is really tight, which means she's probably really balanced and she'll be fine. I hope so.

 

Blake should go to Europe. Bulgaria perhaps.
