Jordin Sparks was hardly an unknown, she could have been a plant also. Before AI she: released an album, toured with Michael W. Smith, won multiple contests, and performed at Country Thunder, performed with Alice Cooper, appeared in a compilation album, and MUCH more.......... that doesn't sound undiscovered to me.

Where was Kristy at the end of the show last night (Feb 19th)? Two of the twelve girls were not there.

I don't think it matters if there are contestants that have record contracts in the past. The show wants to look for the best singer regardless of experience. They are looking for someone to sell albums, for concerts and for TV ratings. They did this to prevent from what happened last year with Sanjaya. I would want to see people with talent get another shot. Just because they did not succeed the first time, doesn't mean they will fail in the future. Many artists had their first album flopped. I rather see someone with talent win than someone with average talent.

She shouldn't be allowed to compete. It should be for amateurs only, and other people were kicked out in earlier seasons for having past major label contracts.

Melinda didn't have a professional recording contract or any ties to anyone affiliated with Fox, AFAIK. Friends and family of Fox producers and those who already had a recording contract shouldn't be allowed. Nigel and co are tired of supporting complete nobodies, and want to stack the deck in their favor by installing several plants into this season. If they're not plants, they're simply plant food in the producer's eyes. Several talented nobodies were sent home in favor of no talent hacks to serve as fodder for the Nigel Plants. Enjoy the weeding!

actually you all are all fooled. they are calling Jordin sparks and unknown. that is a lie also. Jordin has been on America's most talented kids. Her parents took her out of school to pursue singing. only thing they ever said was she was a plus size model. she went on tour with a grammy platinum artist twice micheal w smith. he is a christian singer ..and big singer. she has sang national anthems at nba, nfl and mlb games. believe me producers of the show calls peoples managers and gives them an automatic audition and puts them through. it's all about who u know and money.

Why don't you all stop whining and just sit back and enjoy the music. She has a beautiful voice and we are all better off when she shares it with us.

I take issue with a lot of you, especially Micelle and Music Lover. Just because somebody had a record deal and doesn't now doesn't mean that they failed or are not deserving of another shot. It's possible that it's spin as far as her selling her horse, but why would you automatically think that it's a lie. Do you think that she's got $$ coming out of her ears?
I'm not going to say who I am, but I will tell you I've had a record deal. It was a little before she was signed. I didn't fail. Everyone at the label got fired and new folks came in which caused me to get dropped and my album to be shelved. I've faught long and hard to get another chance. It's hard to get a deal and even harder to keep one.
Since I've had a deal before although I don't have one now and I work a day job, does that make me a professional or a failure?
Put yourself in her shoes. She got a deal once and is not going to give up because she believes she'll get one again. She was probably running into the same thing I have run into and said, "Well I'll give it a shot getting on Idol." She got on there because she's a good singer. Would you rather have bad singers that have never been on stage before and look like a nerd, or somebody that can sing, has stage presence, is good looking and has the capability of being a pro?
