Re: dead money on Edwards
I can't really disagree with your post. I like Stephanie, and think that she has a very nice voice with good stage presence; I would put her ahead of Jordin. Heads-up against any of the men, I think she's at least competitive even in the worst case (though Sligh or Lewis could well beat her). However, I cannot construct any kind of reasonable scenario in which she is able to outlast all of the other women. If there's vote splitting, Stephanie will be the one to suffer, unfortunately [1].
Plus, I expect that Melinda is simply going to dominate this season like never before seen on AI. This alone makes Stephanie an incredible longshot, not even considering the other ten singers.
[1]Unfortunate in that there shouldn't be a vote splitting issue as the four "divas" aren't that similar, but if it happens it will send Stephanie and/or Jordin out before they should go based on talent.
