yesss i am especially loving the end... I don't know what it's called but when she does a world full of 'love' like yours like 'mine'.. the tone/sound/depth of the words' love and mine seems amplified sound from the soul xD DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT!!! ??? and sends me into bliss?

Clay Aiken should have (and may have) won, but the show runners reserved the right to change the outcome if it suited them; Elliot Yamin was a sensational vocalist and left after reaching the final 3; and then Melinda just blew them all away...and when they sent her home, it came to me that most of the audience voters were morons and would never pick the best singers.

She is one of the best Idol ever had and is one of, if not the most, underrated of all Idol contestants that actually went far. In fact she is the only Idol contestant that I think ever went through an entire season without being criticized by the judges. Her singing is effortless and it is a shame that she is not famous.
