It all comes down to this....it's Jordin (who no one has winning it all) and Blake (who two people have winning it all).
This should be a wakeup call to everybody for next season....Last year, one person (Missy) had Taylor Hicks winning it all. That means in two seasons, at best 3 out of the 102 entries we've had over the last two years will have called the American Idol correctly.
We have to start with the most important story of the day!!!!
You know what we're going to see tomorrow? Paula Abdul with a broken nose!!!!
Maybe the trailer for her reality show is spot on after all:
I mean, nothing puts a cherry on top of this season like Paula with a busted grill. And God knows what kind of meds she's going to be on. This should be classic.
Want to know what else you're going to be watching on Tuesday night? This article has all the info you need. Here are the key points:
1. Simon can't call it for Jordin or Blake.
Despite having watched every one of Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis' performances prior to the two becoming American Idol's sixth season Top 2 finalists, judge Simon Cowell said the competition is just too close to call.
"I can't call it at this stage because I think they've both got different strengths. One is a better entertainer, and one is a better singer, so it will be down to what they do [during Tuesday night's final performance episode]"
2. Each contestant will sing 3 songs:
the one chosen by viewers via American Idol's sixth season songwriting contest; a second song of their own personal choosing; and a third one that they previously performed during Idol 6.
3. The song that's won the songwriting contest seems to be better suited for Jordin:
Cowell said he's heard the song chosen via the songwriting contest, and described it as being "alright" before offering some insight into how it might have an affect on the competition. "I think it's going to be harder for Blake to sing because it's more of a ballad," said Cowell.
There you go - Simon can't call it....and he thinks the songwriter's song is "alright" and since it's ballady, it's better for Jordin. That's not really a surprise, though, as every American Idol final song has been a ballad, right?
And how does this affect the pool?
If Blake wins, the top 5 will look like this:
#1. Paul P. - 257 points
#2. Jennie - 252 points
#3. Will - 251 points
#4. MB - 250 points
#5. Kristin - 242 points
And, since Paul P., and Jennie Lane are the only people who have Blake winning it all, they will also split the $110 winner's pool.
If Jordin wins, the top 5 will look like this:
#1 - Will - 251 points
#2 - MB - 250 points
#3 - Paul P. - 245 points
#4 - Kristin - 242 points
#5 - Jennie - 240 points
Since no one has Jordin winning the whole thing, it has been decided by American Idol Pool leadership that the winner's pool would go to Idol Gives Back should Jordin be the next American Idol.
So, Jordin fans are Will, Marybeth, and Kristin. Blake fans are Paul and Jennie.
Everyone else in the pool are stuck where they were last week no matter what, with the lone exception of Grant Gosselin. Grant will finish 12th by himself if Jordin wins. He will finish tied for 12th if Blake wins.
Also, as a new rule this year, the people who have the most to lose if Jordin wins must do this should she actually win(this means you Paul Peters and Jennie Lane):
That is all.
Enjoy the finale!
The Master
PS - thanks to anonymous last week for filling us in the Seacrest really didn't know Melinda was out 1/2 way through the show last week. This article agrees from
Melinda's point of view:
Idol fans have been wondering since Wednesday night's results show if Seacrest used a double entendre during the live broadcast and prematurely revealed it was Doolittle who was about to be eliminated. Fox aired Sparks' hometown visit first during the broadcast, followed by Lewis'. Doolittle's was to air following a commercial break, and Seacrest said, "After the break, Melinda's going home."
"I think maybe either I didn't notice or [thought] he was just talking about the [video] package they were going to show about me going home to Nashville because I knew I was the next person for them to show," Doolittle explained. "So I just assumed that's what he was talking about. I've heard a lot of speculation about that, but I don't think it was that at all. I think he was kind of getting us ready for the next package they were going to show... The only thing to me he could have been talking about was the package. I don't think it was even a slip, I just think that was what he was talking about. I was completely fine with it. It didn't phase me at all last night."
