American Idol Is Not Fair

Man, American Idol is simply not fair, and for it to BE fair, I think they need to make some drastic changes. Sorry to say this, but they need to split it between races because it is just NOT fair. Not at all... or at least for the women. (Yeah, sense the sarcasm). Seriously, the first episode was actually kinda embarrasing and hard to watch for me because it was blatenly obvious that the five black (ish) girls completly blew away the other girls... minus Gina, she was good. But I mean completly blew them away! It wasn't even a competition.

But then again, American Idol is not just about singing... it's about who is reletively good looking and who also has a reletively OK voice. The person with the best voice NEVER wins... its the person who is most marketable and who has the most decent voice. Lakeisha Jones is not going to win and we know that. She sang that song better than anyone else on American Idol could and I bet if she woulda sang the whole song, it woulda been better and she woulda killed it even worse. Let us be real with ourselves. Melinda Doolittle is not going to win.... she doesn't have a neck and she's kinda odd shaped. They are definatly the two best singers... but they aren't "cute" so they aren't going to win. Honestly, Stephanie Edwards is pretty, and her voice is cool, but it's not going to happen for her. Sabrina Sloan and Jordin Sparks have a chance because thier voices are better than Stephanie, but not as good as Lakeisha or Melinda, and they are light skinned and have that curly hair. lol.

Now, onto the white chicks...let's start with Gina Glocksen. She was definatly the best white girl... although she got a little cocky in judging and for the record, she didn't hit that note. All the rest were boring... Haley Scarnato actually wasn't bad either I just didn't like the song and she put me to sleep but the singing wasn't bad. Leslie Hunt, once again, wasn't bad but wasn't good either. Amy Krebs though... extra boring. Nicole Tranquillo just up and down scared me if we are being real. She sang, "Stay" originally done by Chaka Khan, but she tried to do the Erykah Badu version and killed it in a extra negative way. She was screaming and hella forced it. I was mad, I actually like that song! And last, Antonella Barba and Alaina Alexander... obviously the two worst.... but they are "marketable". Both of them need to be gone, but I think people will keep them since they are skinny ethnically questionable girls but whatever.

Oh yeah, and the guys just sucked so hard that I didn't even take time to mention them. Except for that cute Carribeanish guy.. Jared Cotter. He was decent. Or maybe it was just cuz he was kinda cute. I don't know.

Speaking of good songs... I really like that Ultra Nate song, "Free", it's old but it's hot.

Hmm...well, Fantasia wasn't pretty but she had a beautiful voice and she won, so that has to count. In that instance it wasn't about looks.

Melinda (my name too, BTW) seems to be a very talented individual. I wouldn't doubt if she wins...after all, Fantasia won "American Idol", didn't she? I like Miz Doolittle, she can sing and has a sweet positive attitude.

Hated Antonella, was thrilled when they gave her the boot. No talent, no class, and certainly not pretty...unlike what most people said. How could she expect them to keep her on the show if they disqualified Frenchy a few years ago for nude photos?

Sanjaya's only talent is making people laugh at his bizarre antics. This kid is a clown!!! Check out his mohawk from two weeks ago. Oh, they just gave him the boot after all this time. He was about to cry but took it well.

I liked Stephanie but she went over the top with the whole Beyonce routine. I was sad to see her go, though.

I liked Jared, Chris Sligh, and the adorable dark chocolate brother with the sweet smile and low 'fro. What was his name? He wore a lot of tees and jeans. He could sing and what a nice, down-to-earth guy. *sighs dreamily*

Jordin is biracial and light-skinned but she is still clearly not white, she does have overwhelmingly black features. She has a good voice and presence.
