I only tuned in to see who won. My husband was watching Lost and there were actually things to watch that counted on Lost. The only thing I really needed to see was the last few minutes. Now if only somebody would come in here and tell me what happened after the pirates stole the little boy? I haven’t watched one episode of Lost but, damn, that was some tension filled television. ---

Maybe it’s for the better if Bo has more artistic freedom on his own CD. Carrie has no soul to compromise. ---

Oh and is there a really big difference in who wins? Somebody once had the albums and sales of AI winners past. Does anybody remember the link? I’d like to see a comparison between the top 3 finalists. ---

Wow…I’m really shocked. I thought Bo had the win. Not really too sure how I feel about this, actually… ---

Aww, c’mon guys, it can’t have been that big of a shock, Carrie’s voting block kept her out of the bottom all the way thru. I personally wanted Bo, but I liked them both. Did anyone notice LaToya mispronouncing Bo’s name in her ‘back here in Bama’ schtick? Teehee. Matt Rogers, OTOH, was awesome with the Okies. First year the prior Idols didn’t come back, any guesses why? ---

I know I said that I would be okay with either of them winning, but I’m PISSED! I hope Bo has a career that follows Clay’s. Damn it!!! OK. I’m okay with her winning, but I was really pulling for Bo. Damn, ---

I’m not okay with her winning. Jesus. Every time she sang a note wrong in this competition someone kissed her pasty ass to make sure it didn’t hurt her. Simon even blamed the fucking _band_ for her singing badly. She deserves that single. It fits her soulless, vapid self to a tee. May the AI machine choke on it. ---

I should have known this would happen when I never got my text message back last night saying that my votes were being received. My phone died overnight and I figured that was why. Oh, well. Now I can feign righteous indignation and use _that_ as an excuse for not buying Carrie’s album, instead of just saying she sucks, which is how I really feel. Sorry, Carrie fans, but she isn’t my cup of tea. Good luck to her anyway, though. I guess. ---

It’s 7:20 PM on the West Coast and I sure as heck didn’t expect to get spoiled for Lost in an AI thread. BAD BAD BAD.

How much of Clay’s success is due to him suing to buy out his contract and getting out from under 19’s thumb? Justin Guarini, what’s he doing now? Diana DeGarmo’s album sold less than William Hung’s, she’s scheduled to appear at the opening of Hong Kong Disney and is working on an Alaskan cruiseship deal. That’s not the future I want for Bo, and I think Clay avoided it by getting out of his contract. Okay, well and by being ambitious and hard-working and very good at marketing himself to his niche, etc. Bo can do all those, but can he get out from under 19 to try or have they learned from their mistakes and wrapped up all the exploitable loopholes in the contracts by now? ---

D’oh! Interesting take from the folks that started the Idol phenomenon, turns out they’re better at predicting our winners than we are. > [@](#): > > SHE is a 22-year-old hometown Christian girl from Checotah, Oklahoma, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and no passport. > > He is an underwashed, bearded and long-haired 29-year-old rocker from Helena, Alabama, with a history of drug arrests, and a band that has toured throughout the United States and Europe. > > In a land where a born-again Christian from Texas was given a second term as President, it should be obvious which of the above contestants will become the next star of American Idol — the US version of the British show Pop Idol.

I’ve noticed it too, **Karl**. Although I think the straightened hair makes his face appear thinner, so maybe it wasn’t a very dramatic loss? Vonzell and Anthony both gained some bulk as the contest wound on, wonder why. ---
