Last season Melinda Doolittle made everyone else look silly and was out 3rd or 4th. I can already see it happening this season with David Archuleta based on some of the comments here. If you don't recognize that as obvious talent over the rest of that group, I honestly don't know what to say.
I'm interested to see the girls this evening to see if there is a clear front-runner in that group like there should be in the guys' group.
(Yes, I know that comes off as sort of condescending, but I don't really care. It is how I feel. This is frustrating to watch)

And this is the entire problem. I'm way too caught up on singing ability because it is a singing competition. My frustration comes from people insisting it isn't and voting and worrying about the fact that a singer didn't do exactly what their favorite version of the song did, or if Melinda looks fat in so and so outfit, and whether someone likes to play scrabble.

It is not a singing competition. It is a competition to find a pop star.
Melinda Doolittle was nowhere close to a pop star. David Archuleta can sing well, but choirs are not part of American pop music.
