American Idol -- The Finals

Oh, man. Wind Beneath My Wings. The glurgiest of glurgey songs, at least when done by Bette.

She’s having some sort of throat problem, I think. Maybe she should have done like The Rose should have and had a rest instead of performing.

Oh dear. Does Bette still sing about E Gulls?

So wth is Fantasia?

[I’m ashamed to admit that I read this in the newspaper this morning…]

She is performing on Broadway in The Color Purple.

Oh hell. I watched this crap all season then stepped out of the room for the last 10 minutes. Now the credits are rolling. I guess I’ll just have to reload to see who won.

Oh. Wait. False alarm.

I want an independent tabulator telescope to see the stars and count them.

Come on, somebody…spill!

Jordin

The winner was the one who got the most votes.

Spoilsport!

BeBe, Bette, Smokey and Green Day sharing a stage, I’m in cheese heaven!

Yay Jordin, although the painful “Don’t you think Blake’s going to lose? Randy? Simon?” was just rude.

Wow…anybody who DVR’d the show is gonna be pissed. We were behind, but since we fast forwarded through commercials we caught up just as it approached 10:00. Damn good thing, since the winner wasn’t announced until 10:03.

Well, congratulations to Jordin. Blake seemed pretty unruffled about it. I get the feeling he’s just amazed to have even gotten this far, is having a blast and had nothing emotionally invested in winning. He looked genuinely happy for Jordin.

Well, not pissed. Just ran over here to find out!

WTF how can you make a results show of TWO PEOPLe that is scheduled for TWO HOURS run OVER!?

OMGLOL FIRST THING EVER AGREED WITH DTC LOLLERBALL!!

All night, all I could think about was people arguing about Underwood vs. Bice when that time came, and now it’s not even close. Carrie is drop dead gorgeous and has a fantastic voice>

I’m so pissed about that DVR thing too. I switched over to Lost (awesome, btw), checked in to see that Jordin won, but didn’t see the announcement or anything, just the aftermath and it didn’t record. Curses! :mad: :mad: :mad: I did just watch that Sgt. Pepper mess though. Very, um, psychedelic.

Overall, boring season. I agree with the outcome, such as it is, but will never buy an album by Jordin or Blake. Maybe Melinda, if she does real music and not the usual glurge that makes up most of the Idol universe.

Remember the 2000 election? :slight_smile:
