The lines between fiction and reality seem to have blurred the season of American Idol.

For whatever reason the daughter of a computer animation movie character named Shrek has made it onto American Idol.  Many people were surprised to learn that Melinda Dolittle is the daughter of Shrek, an animated character played in a CGI movie.

Shrek is a very musical cartoon movie, and it's easy to see that the fruit and fall too far away from the tree.  Fortunately Melinda picked up more of the same genes and fewer of the rough around the edges inhospitable character flaws that Shrek has.  Regardless of the talent in the family to family resemblance is indisputable, just look at that chin!
