At the end of the Starmaker journey, it came down to two very talented singers ... and as with most competitions, only one person could win. Of course, Todd was disappointed when he wasn't picked, but that hasn't made him any less grateful for the experience of being on the show. Check out his update below...

Well … I had a good run. I wanted to win, and didn't -- but staying to the end allowed me to gain a great deal of knowledge and experience.

When I first met the cast, I knew the competition would be tough. The level of talent was exceptional, so making the Starmaker finale was a win in itself. I wish Liz the best. She is a talented performer and deserving of her success.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow cast members. Despite the negatives that competition can bring out, I know we shared a lot of laughs and a camaraderie that will live on.

Thank you Rodney Jerkins and Tamara Conniff for the positive comments that helped build my confidence week after week. Thank you Pete Wentz, Nicole Scherzinger, Lady Gaga, and Kelly Rowland for taking time out of your busy schedules to give us valuable advice. Thank you Romeo Johnson and Johnny Wright for being coaches, and also for your support and counsel. Thank you Laurie Ann Gibson for bringing out a side in me that I wasn’t sure existed.

I would also like to thank MTV, Mark Burnett and Diddy for giving me an opportunity to showcase what I do.

Know that the journey does not end here. I’m very grateful for being a part of Starmaker and am excited about what comes next. The van is gassed up and ready to hit the road. Stay tuned …

She may not have been the evening's big winner, but Melody is now giving thanks to all the people who helped her get so far in the Starmaker competition. Check it out:

First of all, I’d like to thank God for blessing me with not only this great opportunity, but also for a Mother that has always been there for me. She raised me right, and I thank God for her everyday of my life. I’d like to thank P. Diddy and Mark Burnett for being the first people to ever give me a chance. I’d like to thank the judges Rodney Jerkins, Tamara Conniff and Laurie Ann Gibson for making me feel like I belonged in this music industry. I’d like to thank my vocal coach on the show Romeo Johnson -- he was the Friend I needed and the teacher that showed me the way. I’d like to thank my stylist Gamila for being the brains behind every outfit I wore and for being the Coolest Lady I've ever met. I would especially like to thank my friend and mentor (Super Manager) Mr. Johnny Wright for his guidance and  wisdom. And from the bottom of my heart, I want to congratulate Liz Davis for a job very well done.

The future looks mighty bright for yo girl Melody Angel. I am truly humbled and blessed for all God has given me. To all my fans, thanks for watching, listening and supporting me. I Love You All and I’ll See You Soon.

Up until now, the Starmaker crew's had it pretty easy: nice house, plenty of downtime and competitions only every other week. But now Diddy's steppin' in to make sure these kids are working as hard on their careers as they are on their tans. Take a sneak peek from this Sunday's episode and watch as Johnny Wrightgives the gang a wakeup call -- and tells them playtime is officially over.
