I think ALL of the final contestants could have easily won this season. Melinda, of course, but also Blake and others (whose names are escaping me). I saw them ALL on Larry King the other night, and was struck yet again by what a cohesive, supportive group, positive group of people they all are/were.
I am happy for Jordin, but would have also been happy for a number of the other finalists. What a fantastic group they turned out to be! I shall MISS them. Hated to see the season end.
And while I didn't think Sanjaya had the voice to win, I didn't think his voice was a bad as many were suggesting. It became a game to lambast him, I think. I never thought he'd make it to the end, so I wasn't worried about it. I give him kudos for being as young as Jordin, yet having the ability to reinvent himself every week. He had a sense of himself that was beyond his years, I think, and has a natural instinct for showmanship. I think he had more charisma than some of the others, even if he lacked the voice strength.
And frankly, I'd LOVE to have his SMILE power! Some ad agency should sign him up at a hefty fee to advertise their cosmetic dentistry clients. ;-) I LOVED it when he smiled. Not sure why his smile had so much more CLOUT than the others, but it did. From that stand point, I think Jordin has the same brand of charisma.... (and yes, of course, she also has the VOICE) I'm not sure she has quite the showmanship, but that will come, I'm sure.
What a FUN FUN FUN group! |
