The lines are open an America is voting for the next American Idol. But who will it be? After tonight’s show, Jordin Sparks earned it.

Blake is a great performer, but not an amazing singer. His first song, You Give Love a Bad Name, was performed very well, but sung just ok. She Will Be Loved was again, sung ok, but no performance. Then the poor guy couldn’t do anything with This Is My Now.

Jordin on the other hand started out OK with Fighter. I thought she did really good after her nerves wore off. When she sang Broken Wing, it was simply amazing and she closed the show with This Is My Now and you could tell the difference. She belted out that song gave it her all. Simply perfect! And when she choked up a bit at the end, you knew it was over. Jordin has sung her way to the top.

Of course there is always that wild card; you. The public votes and it’s not always on singing. It could be on looks, overall season performance or people may just vote for their own gender. Really, it’s a HUGE unknown. It could go either way, but my votes will be in for Jordin. She deserves it.

However, as I pointed out earlier, everyone wins. Daughtry closed the show and are a prime example of not coming in first and still making it big. Both should be very proud and I look forward to their CDs.

So, who do you think will win?
