Jordin Sparks, Blake Lewis and Melinda Doolittle on Leno

For someone supposedly so sweet, Melinda said a really mean thing tonight. She said she auditioned with her friends so she can see the "funny people" audition. And that she "thought" you had to audition in order to see these "funny people". Right. Melinda auditioned to laugh/ogle at the other people audition (or "enjoy" them as she said). That was foremost on her mind than to live out her dreams by taking a shot at American Idol. That's one of the stupidest answers I've ever heard from someone who could win this thing. Always say you want to be the American Idol that's why you are there, no matter how corny it is, or at least invent an answer that's not as mean-spirited like what Melinda just said.

Also, ironically, it was a bad move to mention that she read the comments about her looking like Shrek and a platypus. Ouch. I don't know what she was thinking, but her fans have gone beyond her looks from Day 1 -- and those who cannot get past her looks will never be able to because they're shallow that way -- she shouldn't have dignified those things by addressing it voluntarily. It serves no purpose to anybody.

So: 1. Melinda auditioned for the sole-purpose to watch the "funny people", then 2. Melinda is hurt by the comments that she looks like a "funny people". Shaking my head in disbelief.

What a disappointing interview from Melinda in the few answers that she gave. She strikes me as a person so in control of what she's doing and yet trying to project that she has no idea what is happening -- that kind of bothers me now.

Again, the spirit of Teen Pop Sensation Sanjaya Malakar still lingers and the Top 3 get asked about him again. Almost no love from everyone. I'm quite surprised at their reactions, you would think they would be over it by now. And Blake even lied about not going to the Internet -- Blake! You visit rickey.org -- don't disown me! (LOL)

Dear Top 3: The correct answer was -- everybody appeals to different types of people on the show, so the audience has the right to vote for anyone they want for whatever reason. Some people might think that beatboxing is not singing, but there are sure a lot of peope who love the way Blake beatboxes on the show and vote for him accordingly. Also, those types of votes (VTFW) do not have an affect on the show because the fans are those who vote the most. Never diss a fellow contestant on the show! It makes you all look bitter. Sanjaya had nothing but kind words to all of you. He's turning out to be the wisest of them all!

It's all becoming clear now what kind of dynamic they were having when Sanjaya was with them. And they still can't allow themselves to give him any positive comments. Poor Sanjaya.

At least LaKisha was honest. She thought that Sanjaya was annoying but explained it in a way that was understandable.

It looks like Jordin Sparks is really going to win this.
