yath Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I think Melinda is simply the best. I really hope she wins the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realityfan Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 She was my favorite starting with her Memphis audition. I love her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayo Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Macy Gray? Are you serious? Her voice is NOTHING like Macy's....Melinda is SO much better! Most embarrassing moments? Crying EVERY time I advance another round My only concern for her, is that she's going to have to control this or she may start annoying some people. Just saying thank you and getting off the stage is her best bet for longevity...oh that and singing her brains out, which she has absolutely no problem doing. GO MELINDA!

Sharonda99 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 If Melinda doesn't win AI, someone will pick her up. She's too good not to have a recording deal out there. The thing about AI is that it gives exposure for people who may not otherwise have the opportunity. Case in point, Chris Daughtry (from my state, whoo hoo!). Taylor Hicks won, but Chris is doing much better than he is. Chris had offers from Fuel to be their lead singer before AI was even over. Course he turned it down and is doing very well on his own.

yath Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Absolutely right, Sharonda. Melinda's career is just beginning--no matter what happens in the rest of AI. She's got it made--and about time, after all that back-up stuff that she did. Wonder who she was back-up for?? Clearly someone who isn't, and won't be, as famous as she will be!!

Tarman12 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I really think at this point it will be Melinda and LaKisha in the finals, Melinda for the win. But it's a long time before that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jersey721 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I've heard a lot of people, including the judges, predicting a girl will win this year. Could most likely be Melinda, Lekisha or Sanjaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yath Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I think that's a pretty easy prediction, given how much better the girls are this year than the guys!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
