I haven’t been paying attention to American Idol at all. I don’t ever really. What I do see is the tail end of the show when they replay clips of each of the contestants before House comes on. So I am at least familiar with them to that extent.
Melinda is a very nice singer, but if you take every song they give you and turn it into soul, you are not performing for this audience. If you won the contest, you might have been able to release a soul album, but you certainly would have been better off singing the genre of music you were given in the genre of music it was intended, or at least not perform every song like you were in a gospel choir.
So, I’m not sad to see you go. You have a great voice, but you’re a one-trick pony. Buh-bye.
