To begin with, the girls are much better singers than the boys on this year's Idol.
My favourite guy, Sundance Head, was sent packing much too early. I really enjoyed his version of "Mustang Sally".
Three of the girls show a great deal of promise, Melinda Doolittle, Lakisha Jones and Jordin Sparks. Jordin has developed a smooth emotional delivery that is easy on the ears and eyes. Lakisha is a power vocalist in the same mode as Fantasia, but Melinda reminds me of a young Aretha Franklin. She has pose and a powerful rhythmic delivery that is well suited to R & B songs.
The only one, I find captivating is Melinda. She should become this year's American Idol.
