PagongRatEater 12996 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-16-07, 10:02 AM (EST) "Winner Predictions" Yep, I know that we don't even know the final 2 but that's what makes it fun. Looks like it is going to be a close vote tonight so that complicates it even more. Regardless, I am going out on a limb to predict the winner...right..now... Jordin Sparks willbe your next American Idol. You heard it here first. I don't see her getting eliminated tonight and I think that she stands to benefit most from any elimination. If it is Blake, I think she appeals more to the young voter. If it is Melinda, I think she has a small edge as another female performer. I'm on record as backing Melinda and I still want her to win. Heck I voted for her about 100 times last night. However, I think that the remaining contestants and the people who are voting give Jordin a demographic edge. AND I like early predictions. Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, hear the lamentations of their women.   Top

dragonflies 8051 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-16-07, 10:21 AM (EST) 2. "RE: Winner Predictions" I want Blake to win. He is the closest to my opinion of an American Idol. A pop star. I think Jordin comes in a close second, and would be thrilled with a Blake/Jordin finale, but I don't see it happening. I like Melinda, think she is a wonderful singer, but if she wins, she will end up like Fantasia, Rueben, and to some extent Taylor. A hasbeen that will have her day in the spotlight, and be gone into mainstream obscurity.   Top

PagongRatEater 12996 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-16-07, 10:32 AM (EST) 4. "RE: Winner Predictions" I see her like a Natalie Cole, but that would certainly not make her a pop star. At this point, I think she is the only one of the top three who needs the win to have a serious career. Blake and Jordin will make albums regardless. Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, hear the lamentations of their women.   Top

zazzy 4390 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 05-17-07, 10:16 AM (EST) 16. "RE: Winner Predictions" LAST EDITED ON 05-17-07 AT 10:17 AM (EST) "I like Melinda, think she is a wonderful singer, but if she wins, she will end up like Fantasia, Rueben, and to some extent Taylor. A hasbeen that will have her day in the spotlight, and be gone into mainstream obscurity." I disagree about Taylor--wait till you see him next week on the finale. I predict he will be smokin' hot. He just finished a headlining tour of about 50 venues; has a book coming out this summer; is starting a new summer tour in a couple of weeks...he is just not getting the $$ investment that from his label that Daughtry has received. Both labels are owned by Sony/BMG-all tied in with AI/19E and Simon Cowell and Clive. Interesting to read about the lastest Kelly Clarkson album and how the label is worried about it...there is so much treachery in the music business and watching Taylor's journey has been an education.   Top

cahaya 19891 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-16-07, 10:31 AM (EST) 3. "RE: Winner Predictions" Melinda! She's the only one whose recordings I would actually shell out some bucks for. Foo dogs by tribe.   Top

mistyrose52 795 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Fitness Correspondent" 05-16-07, 10:53 AM (EST) 5. "RE: Winner Predictions" I really believe this competition is incredibly close, and any of those 3 could win. I don't especially care for Blake, but I'm older, and his type of music/beatboxing stuff is not in my taste! At this point, I think all of them could have amazing careers WITH the right coaching, training, leading, direction, etc. If Jennifer Hudson had just stuck with recording, she'd be a has-been at this point. Diana DeGarmo is doing well on Broadway, and look how well Katherine McFee is doing all over the place. It's all in where you go after this, and being SMART about it! I wish the best for all of them-including Lakisha, who needs to learn to take honest direction from people who have been there/done that, or we'll never hear from her again! They all have incredible talent, but it's going to have to be directed and they'll need to surround themselves with people who can be trusted to do that to bring out the best and put them in the best places where they can really solidify what they can do with it to make them more than yesterday's cast-off. PS-I couldn't even bring myself to vote last night-it's all too confusing for me at this point-know what I mean?? I love Jordin and Melinda too much to split the votes on them, and really don't want Blake-I don't know how to explain it! I'm a cop-out, I know, but I just couldn't!!! Bad me! Bad me!!   Top

I think this is a very astute statement. These folks would do well to realize that winning this competition will not automatically vault them into long term stardom. What it will do, is get their talents noticed. What they do to capitilize on that notice does indeed, remain up to them. A birthday present from Tribe   Top

emydi 13669 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-16-07, 11:15 AM (EST) 7. "RE: Winner Predictions" yep and Chris Daughtry did it the best...he needed that push to get his band out there and he did it perfectly on the show and afterwards (not agreeing to be lead singer for other band) As for the rat's initial question...I think Melinda will win it ala Taylor with Blake as runner up..sorry rat...but book a Disney Cruise for next year, I'm sure she'll be part of the entertainment   Top

nailbone 27263 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-16-07, 12:33 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Winner Predictions" Melinda is the best singer, technically, but Jordin and Blake are both infinitely more marketable (think Ruben and Fantasia v. Kelly and Carrie). That said, I think Jordin goes tonight, and Blake wins.   Top

bzooti 82 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 05-16-07, 01:13 PM (EST) 9. "RE: Winner Predictions" I have no idea whatsover how this will play out. I feel that Blake is clearly a creative artist, from the inside out. I'm still astonished such an indie-spirited talent is even there. Melinda is maybe the most masterful singer the show has had yet. And then Jordin is a perfect pop idol, for those into that sort of thing. Jordin in theory should have the greater appeal to those who power-vote. Did you all try to vote last night? I'm in the seattle area, and I could only get through I think 3 votes for Blake total. I tried to throw Melinda a few, and got through once. And I accidentally dialed one of Jordin's numbers and got through second try. So maybe the power-voters were thwarted by the busy signals? And ... I hate when the tehcnology blocks votes. It's like the Clay-Ruben mess, when it's so close you can't ever know who really was the more popular that night.   Top

agman 11166 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-16-07, 06:19 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Winner Predictions" I think Melinda will win and Blake will take second place! I know everything, except the things I don't know   Top

Colonel Zoidberg 3662 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 05-17-07, 09:06 AM (EST) 11. "RE: Winner Predictions" Now that the F2 is decided, I think it's safe to say Jordin has it sewn up. I don't see a lot of Melinda voters going to Blake. I also see Jordin as having gotten, and continuing to get, the Lakisha vote. The finale will be a blowout.   Top

Breezy 18380 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-17-07, 09:16 AM (EST) 12. "*raises hand*" I'm a Melinda voter that will now vote for Blake.   Top

Corvis 3130 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 05-17-07, 09:21 AM (EST) 13. "RE: *raises hand*" I think, more than any other finale, it's going to come down to those final performances. Whoever has the better night will win.   Top

zazzy 4390 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 05-17-07, 10:04 AM (EST) 14. "RE: Winner Predictions" I think a lot of people who have not voted all along start to vote in the last two weeks. So, the question is...who do those sideliners vote for--and can they change the gravitational pull towards winner that AI has created for Jordin?   Top

zazzy 4390 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 05-17-07, 10:10 AM (EST) 15. "RE: Winner Predictions" P.S. I think the judges' words next week will seal the deal--note how they have used words like "odd" and "odd choice" with Blake--all they have to do is position him as the one who is odd and lead the people want to vote for all American apple pie to Jordin. Can Seattle and other cool parts of the west coast rally for Blake the way that the south did for Taylor last year? (People were buying Go phones in droves so they could text for Taylor last year) And did Melinda get pushed out so the winner would not come "from the south", as seems to be a complaint about AI? With Washington and Arizona represented they have assured that the south will not prevail this year.   Top

niteowl0205 136 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 05-17-07, 10:16 AM (EST) 17. "jordin not apple pie..." I agree with most of what you say, but really, Jordin is not exactly 'American as apple pie.' A large, mixed-race (beautiful and talented) young girl is not the stereotypical tiny blonde middle-America type. Thank g-d! I don't care which wins, I think Jordin obviously can outsing Blake, but he is always fun to watch.   Top
