Confession: We're a hardcore American Idol household.
There, I said it.
This is our first season ever watching, so our fandom is probably more intense than those of you who have been with the series FOREVER. I can already imagine that the repetitive judge's comments, incessant product placement, and questionable arrangements of shaky pop songs will dampen our enthusiasm next year. For now, though, it's super fun.
And what's one of the biggest reason viewers come back year after year? For the SHOCKERS like last night's results show. Even Melinda looked surprised, and not in that "aww shucks" way she perfected early in the season. Her reaction was more like, "huh?"
The audience was not pleased either, meeting the news with dark murmers and booing. You had to feel a little for Blake, who got none of the outpouring of congratulations that the studio audience had just bestowed on Jordin. It's as if the audience blamed Blake for Melinda getting fewer votes than he did. The poor kid! But it's pretty obvious he's not going home with the AI trophy either. All hail, Jordin Blake, who was all but crowned last night. Unless...
Stay tuned. I know we will.
