During the first round of elimination of the American Idol top 12 finalists saw Brandon leaving and Sanjaya getting another lease of life on the show. I think what saved Sanjaya was the fact that Brandon made a mess of the words while he was singing. From the performances held so far my opinion is that Brandon is a better singer than Sanjaya but once you mess up the words then your fate is secured. Not many who have messed up the words have survived for long in the competition but if my memory serves me right I think Carrie Underwood forgot some words a few times but she went on to win the competition which is obviously because she is a very good singer but unfortunately Brandon is not.

So Sanjaya lives to fight another day and my guess is that he will be voted off next week since he has been coming into the bottom two or bottom three now consistently but then things can change. I have nothing against Sanjaya but sadly the fact is that there are two people namely Sanjaya and Haley who now in the top 11 but do not deserve to be there because they are not as good as the others and there were better singers than them who have been voted off.

So it looks like Melinda Doolittle is getting stronger in the competition and gave a good performance this week too and it is safe to say that she is well on her way to win American Idol 6.
