American Idol Finale 5/22

According to Slate.com's poll, which I believe has been accurate this season, Jordin is the clear winner: http://www.slate.com/id/2166859/fr/rss/

 

Loving this performance with Blake and Doug E Fresh.

 

Hate that performance.

And boy, did they ever mutilate "Heard it Through the Grapevine." These group numbers really suck.

Oh, and Lugs is absolutely right about Jordin.

Bag on her for "Living On a Prayer,'' if you want. She'll never cut a song like that in her career.

Just as one would hope Blake never does a song like that craptacular one they both had to sing in the finals.

 

They were clearly positioning Blake for his runner-up niche. He has possibilities, I do believe.

And too bad for Lakisha there wasn't a Gladys Knight week. And how did the rocker girl ever make it to the top 10?

 

I still can't believe Melinda got cut.

Actually, I can't believe she was allowed to compete.

 

I'd rather be Tony Romo than Tom Brady.

 

True story: I make it to my hotel room around 8:30, and had asked my mom to call me with any duets that happened before I got here. I was on the phone and didn't click over, but my mom's voice mail included this: "Blake is doing a duet with Doug E. Fresh, whoever that is."

I told her those final three words were the most hurtful she's ever said to me in 31 years.

 

I'll also say this: I don't know many girls who can carry off the orange lip gloss...but Carrie does it flawlessly nearly every time I see her.

 

underwood looked great. but only chrissie hynde can do that song. 8) 8) 8)

 

These kids are awesome.

 

Sanjaya and Joe Perry?

 

Sanjaya sucks.
