Wow. Melanie dedicates her song to God. Seriously? A R. Kelly song dedicated to God? What the heck was she thinking? “The World’s Greatest”? Too cheesy and too tacky, but there’s no doubt the girl can sing. And she can sing whatever she wants with that powerful vocal instrument.

The truth is Melanie really wanted to thank Simon Cowell for bringing her back to the competition. Melanie had a meltdown and spoke with the most incredible accent. L.A. Reid thought it was good and Melanie looked amazing. Nicole Scherzinger just wanted to give her a hug.

Paula Abdul was waiting for this moment to happen and Melanie’s vulnerability to come out. And it did. Girl friend just had a major meltdown on that stage. Really? Simon Cowell said Melanie was outstanding and begged people at home to vote for her because they need her in this competition.
