Nobody has said it but I'm going to say it, the reason I think Melinda got voted off was because people got tired of her look and when I say look I mean, "no neck", my local radio stations even kept talking about it alot. I know that contributed to her not being in the final 2, although she is the BEST singer IMO, but I do want Blake to win it, he takes risks and I like risk takers, always being safe isn't fun you only live ONCE..
I know what the heck was up with Taylor winning that one year

Has he even came out with a record yet? If so, I bet he didn't sell that much.. As for Rueben winning everyone just feel into that Teddy bear theme (is that what they were calling him?) they were voting on personality not the signing and the whole nine yards.
I TRULEY believe the only time AMERICA got it right was when the first show aired and Kelly Clarkson took it all, look how succesful she has become, she even won a grammy I belive..
