she's almost acting like she won it all.
 I didn't get that at all. She is a 17 YO girl who is overwhelmed by the emotions of the situation she is in. I think this is similar to crying on your wedding day. She feels loved, supported and appreciated. I think she is sweet and fresh, instead of cynical. I love that about her.

I totally agree.
She has the perfect level of confidence - she's BUBBLY! I love that about her.

ITA!!! I think she should win the competition becuase she has amazing talent. Blake is mediocre IMO!!

Re: American Idol----Its just Blake and Jordin left!!!
Honestly although Blake is my favorite since the beginning I am hoping he doesn't win.
I'd rather him get a contract deal away from AI. I feel like AI may limit the creativeness about him that everyone loves so much.

Re: American Idol----Its just Blake and Jordin left!!!
I hope and pray that Jordin wins this. I voted for her 3 times last night - I dialed about 20 times and that's all I could get through so hopefully....if she didn't try to sing Fighter I wouldn't even be nervous. I'm glad she sang the Martina McBride song again though.
I agree that Blake is a good performer, but I can't SEE him perform on the radio and honestly, when I listen to him with my eyes closed, it's not good. Besides, his "career" will be over before it starts if he wins AI. It will be better for him to take 2nd place.
I mean really - who wants listen to him sing "This is My Now" ever again? That song will be on the radio Friday morning, and hopefully the better singer will be singing it.

Re: American Idol----Its just Blake and Jordin left!!!
Personally, I didn't care for "This Is My Now" at all.
But did think it was cute when Jordin got choked up, it's almost as if her success just sank in.
As a matter of fact, I don't think I've ever liked the final song.
And I don't think "This Is My Now" falls into a flexible genre category. That isn't Blake's style and his fans know that. I knew from the first phrase it was out of his range...not vocal range, out of his style.

Re: American Idol----Its just Blake and Jordin left!!!
Perosnally I think the song was out of Blake's range vocally. Sorry, he just cannot sing that well IMO. He will do good in a boy band.

Re: American Idol----Its just Blake and Jordin left!!!
OK...first of all, IMHO...Blake is a HOT MESS. The boy CANNOT sing!!!!!!! Yes...he can beatbox...but his singing "abilities" are a DISASTER!!!! He is whiny, sings through his nose, and can't carry a tune.
And as far as the last song not being "his style"...give me a break. If you can "sing", then you can sing ANY type of music!!!! Give Celine Dion any type of music, and she can belt it out. Even Kelly Clarkson rocks all tyoes of music. If you are a "singer", you should be able to adapt your voice to ALL Styles of music, or else you are going to have a VERY limited career.
Jordin should win. She has a great voice. Let this be about singing. That's what America should be voting for.

Never said Jordin was less talented or undeserving of winning.
And I agree America should be voting based on "singing" but if that were the case Sanjaya would have never lasted as long as he did. So there goes that idea.
Blake is talented, and as Simon said he is an excellent entertainer.
And at the end of the day, doesn't matter who "wins" because the deserving contestants will get their record deals regardless of who "won" the competition.
Since the track for the winners post American Idol doesn't seem to be a very good one, I would be totally OK if Blake didn't win .
Where is Taylor Hicks...Ruben Studdard...Fantasia...
Ok, so Fantasia is now on Broadway, but what happened to her singing career? I'm not even sure if her CD ever hit the charts?
Mean while, Chris Daughtry....Katherine McPhee.....Elliot Yamin are all making pretty big names for themselves without winning American Idol.
Just goes to show you the worth of the title "American Idol"

Fantasia did have some hit songs on the radio. She did pretty well for herself.

Re: American Idol----Its just Blake and Jordin left!!!
Think Jordin is a wee bit arrogant and fake with her crying. Voted for Blake and hope he wins. Don't really care who wins since Melinda (the BEST singer in the competition) was voted off...

Re: American Idol----Its just Blake and Jordin left!!!
Something about Jordin irritates me. I am not sure what it is but I still think she should win it all! Just like "A Moment Like This" was written for Kelly, "This is My Now" was written for Jordin.
Jordin will take the cake tonight, but they are both talented. I am glad it came down to these 2.
Did anyone see the face Melinda had on last night in the audience? She looked p**ed.

I guess it would take a singer to know this, but...it's VERY easy to get wrapped up in the emotion of a song. I started crying before her, so...
Not only is Jordin NOT arrogant, but she's not fake-crying, either.

I've gotten emotional as a listener to many a song. I guess it would take knowing Jordin personally to know for certain she is NOT arrogant as you say.
My opinion is that is how she comes off to me.

Because she hasn't won the competition (yet). Her behavior last night would have been more befitting of the results show.

I agree completely. I spent years taking voice lessons and I was trained to sing classical italian and ballads.
As a singer, your job is to convey the emotion of a song as much as it is to sing the notes. A vocalist needs to "connect" with the song in order to make an impact on the audience. This is what makes Jordin good. When she sings and conveys that emotion, it gives me goose bumps. THAT is how I know she is doing a good job.
She isn't arrogant, she is performing. She is also doing a helll of a good job at it.
