Okay, I'm posting it...

No sense in not posting Melinda's performance from last night. Contrast it with "My Funny Valentine," and you get a sense of her range. Plus, the end of this clip lets us hear Simon take a veiled swipe at Jennifer Hudson for calling "American Idol" a career stepping stone. But Simon? It was. No one shows up on "Idol" hoping that's where her career will end. It's supposed to be the first step.

And how funny is Randy in his comments? That last "what?!?" is so perfect. That's what I say about Melinda, too.
