I could not agree more...i don't believe she will be gone from the crowd that easy.Who knows she might as well be a great singer in hOLYWOOD..[/quote]
im happy for jordan but i think blake should've won. i like his creativity an his own style. jordan is just another pretty voice but blake on the other hand is totally different. and these days...ppl want different things but god knws why ppl voted for jordan to be the winner
will jordin go on diet like other american idol contestant? carrie underwood, degarmo what? blake performance is so weak..he was crushed by simon comment and not in the mood to sing blah
Jordin who???? 
I think two words sums up my opinion of American Idol: "who" and "cares"
