New season, new poll

Ah, the first day of spring. The sun is shining, there was no traffic on the LIE this morning and there's another 'Idol' elimination tonight. Tell me -- what could be better?

What's that? A new poll? Well, we've got you covered there too. Eureka!

Although to some it may seem a bit generic, we're looking for who YOU think will win this season of 'American Idol.' Your top pick not in the mix? Write about it in the comments section.

And, not to leave that last poll hanging...

Looks like 41.3% of an incredible 4,532 votes think Melinda Doolittle has the goods to one day reach the success of 'Idol's' own Jennifer Hudson. But does that mean you think she'll win too?

Have an idea for an upcoming poll? Ask and you just may receive.

Don't forget to check back later for the picks of who we think is going home tonight. I know you're on the edge of your seat. Our accuracy has shown you all -- we are not psychics here at Newsday. Not at all.
