I know a lot of people are shocked that Melinda Doolittle is gone, but a lot of people predicted that these two were going to be the final two for a while. In fact a lot of people were also predicting Blake Lewis as the winner of American Idol when the Top 12 was announced. There was all the emphasis on the girls at the beginning and people were saying that maybe the men would surprise us and they did. They went a lot further than any of us would have thought and now we have a boy/girl finale! And even better yet it is the first time someone from the South will not win American Idol. It is going to be someone from the West!!! Maybe next year there is hope we will get someone from the North East! ie NY!!!
Anyways best of luck to Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis! (Can you guys keep a secret, I am actually looking forward to Blake's CD! He is very new wave to me and kind of reminds me of Howard Jones!!!)
