- Im starting to agree with you there. I just wish Jordin wins regardless of the relationship to the Hagrid family. I dont think Blake is AI material. Taylor Hicks is tons better than he is and Taylor is flopping the charts. :)</description>

		<description>Sanjaya should have won this season for sheer entertainment value!

Now we&#039;re left with a non-singer and the daughter of Hagrid. Boring season. : &#124;</description>

- Eiya! Havent seen you around in a while. Its too bad if a backup singer is all Melinda will ever be. I would like to think the world is ready to open their arms to someone like a Melinda. And at one time America did with Taylor Hicks. However, his career is slowly being flushed down the drain. Of all the AI&#039;s I think America did well with Carrie Underwood. She&#039;s definitely lived up to the definition.</description>

		<description>Hi Apples! 

While I do like Melinda, I don&#039;t think the future bodes too well for her. The road to pop success and platinum record sales is littered with the careers of oh-so-talented artists whose look just wasn&#039;t what America was looking for. How does one market the big-boned divas like Martha Wash, Mandisa, or Mau Marcelo? What does a record label do with a black, gay singer like Billy Porter or Anwar Robinson? For every Clay Aiken, you have a Tamyra Gray.

I would love to be proven wrong, sis, but it doesn&#039;t look good for Melinda. She will have a good life, though, singing backup, most likely, and reliving this experience, which may well have been one of the best in her life.

Maruja: I humbly think Melinda did have a &quot;Summertime&quot; moment with &quot;My Funny Valentine.&quot; That initial performance got America to remember her, and helped her set the bar by which performances in Season 6 were judged.</description>
