Yes, there is absolutely no question about it. Previously, the best
singers (Kelly Clarkson, Paris Bennett, etc.) have been on the level
of Jordin Sparks: pretty, enthusiastic, and talented, but with a
couple of serious technical flaws. (In Jordin's case, she tends to
get gaspy on the ballads.) Melinda is a whole other thing, and
probably one of the most technically gifted singers I've seen in
years. But she's also got charisma out the ass, especially on the
rockers. I mean, did you see her "Nutbush City Limits" last night?
She was no Tina, of course, but she owned that stage.
I have no beef if either Jordin or Blake wins -- I actually think that
Blake could potentially make the best album of the three of them, and
I think that album would be surprisingly Audities-friendly -- but I'm
backing Melinda all the way.
