		<description>Howard&#039;s got some vendetta about bringing the show to its knees.  I don&#039;t know why he cares so much.  I guess it&#039;s for his ratings.  He&#039;s apparently the Rosie O&#039;Donnell of radio.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t buy what Howard is selling.  I hardly think the show is so worried about him that they&#039;d keep Blake instead of Melinda unless she really got the lowest number of votes.  

I was also wondering where Melinda was on the shows.  I didn&#039;t know that the same thing happened with Elliott last year.</description>

		<description>Catdog, Like Elliott last year, the 3rd place winner doesn&#039;t have time to do the talk show circuit.  Once they are invited to leave, (Bucky&#039;s words) she has to get ready for the finale.  So, there just wasn&#039;t time, but, I believe she will eventually make the tv shows.  May not be until after the tour though.</description>

		<description>Does anybody know why Melinda did not appear on the Jay Leno show on Thurs night? Every eliminated contestant appears on his show the day after and does some kind of comedy skit.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;When She was eliminated she felt a sigh of relief that &lt;strong&gt;she would be able to sing from now on without being judged&lt;/strong&gt; and voted on. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Poor girl knows nothing about what its like to be on american idol, you will be judged until the day you die. :sad_wp:</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;When Ryan said Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œMelinda goes homeÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  he meant
to her home town visit which was shown after the
commercial. Only because we knew Melinda was going
home (on the West Coast) did it sound that way.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


This is not true.  I am on the East Coast and had no idea who was leaving.  when Ryan said &quot;Melinda Goes Home&quot; --- I really thought it was a slip-up on live TV.  It wasn&#039;t until after the commercial when they showed her homegoing that I realized what he meant.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Talent like MelindaÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s is beauty, and as she (and we) grow in recognition of it, she suddenly seems beautiful. Funny how that works. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

This is so true!  I never did get to see her in a flaming red outfit but she just had this glow about her as her confidence grew.

Wish we had gotten to know the contestants better.  Lakisha has a good sense of humor but many thought she copped an attitude.  I hope there will be changes next year and that they also pick 24 truly talented singers.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;And I may be the only one, but I absolutely love MelindaÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s version of Sway. :)&lt;/blockquote&gt;


Oh, I love it too...in fact, it may be my fave of her full-length performances that are downloadable from AI.</description>

		<description>Thanks Angelina -- that resonates.

Yes, Mindy looks more confident, more stylish now. And I agree LaKisha got that too.  When you look at Kiki&quot;s audition stuff, you see a striving young mother without the money to doll herself up and reveal her natural beauty.

If you&#039;ll indulge my poetic soul a moment, I&#039;d like to quote some favorite poets:

&#039;Beauty is truth, truth beauty,&#039; - that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. (John Keats)

and:

&quot;Beauty&#039;s only skin-deep/Yeah,yeah,yeah.&quot;  (The Temptations)</description>

		<description>I think she hit the nail on the head when she talked about the older voters telling her they voted 5 times.  There a lot of people out there who really don&#039;t vote a lot although not necessarily just older voters.  I was pretty happy with my 20 votes last season for Chris D until now I&#039;m realizing how many votes fans of the others got in.  

I really like Melinda and hope things turn out really well for her.   :smile1_tb:</description>
