Far as I understand it American idol and it's clone shows were never about talent, just who was the best overall marketable package =P

That's exactly right. Melinda is obviously a better singer than Blake & Jordin, but the AI producers probably thought she was much less marketable (due to her age, etc). I don't think AI wanted another repeat of Taylor Hicks (who's the same age as Melinda), and another failure at reaching that core audience of teeny boppers. LOL.
American Idol is basically a complete joke.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
