I thought the six guys singing together sounded great! They actually sounded better than any of them ever had during the competition! The girls were good as well especially Lakisha and Melinda.

I think they dragged the show on for too long.

I loved the pink dress that Jordin had on. She looked gorgeous in it!

I thought Kelly Clarkson sounded and looked terrible. I have a feeling she didn't really want to be there. Her second song was a bit better where she sang and Joe Perry played the guitar.

Carrie Underwood sounded ok but I liked when she did that song better the night of Idol Gives Back.


Holy cow, Bette Midler darn near made my ears bleed. She sounded horrible! If I were her I'd be embarrassed.

I had really hoped they would have Michael Buble on again. I love him!!!

Taylor Hicks didn't sound very good either!

These are just crazy random observations I have made throughout the show so they may seem weird!

LOL at the big bird looking lady who they gave the "award" to. She is crazy!!!!! Apparently she is not afraid to make a fool of herself.

Hey....they had on all of the previous winners except for Fantasia. Where the heck is she?????

The end where everyone was singing (current idols and previous winners) is really cheesy.


GOOD LORD THEY ARE DRAGGING THIS OUT TO THE LAST POSSIBLE MINUTE!!!! JUST TELL ME WHO WON ALREADY!!!!

OMG IT'S PAST 10 ALREADY AND THEY KEEP SHOWING COMMERCIALS! DON'T THEY KNOW I'M PREGNANT AND IMPATIENT?

FINALLY! I KNEW SHE'D WIN.

I think it was wrong of the judges to base anything on the last song from last night. It was a terrible song to begin with but it was no where near his style.

I totally think Melinda should have won she can outsing Jordan any day. Oh well!

I bet Pamala is happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peacoxx]

Sanjaya's performance was i think supposed to be funny like having the Big Bird lady on there.

Carrie's performances were boring.

Kelly's was too and Ruben didn't sound good

Yes Jordin's pink dress was beautiful the gold dress at the end was disgusting

The african children were adorable.

the medley the idols sang was the most boring crap every!

Bette Midler should've been booed off stage, DH asked how dare they put her after Celine Dion (in whatever concert they were promoting)

DH loved Melinda with BeBe and CeCe winans and said she could compare with CeCe but i beg to differ, she's good but not that good lol

I wish Fantasia were there to sing.

and YES MY JORDIN WON WOOHOOO...

but the judges said yesterday that based on vocals it would be Jordin; however they said the best performance was Blakes first one,0 it is just that the last song was wonderful, i loved that last performance and well Blake not being able to sing the song because it was out of his usual element doesn't matter cause a singer is a singer and he didn't even make that an OK performance it was as bad as Bette's. He'll still make an album, but i am proud of my girl!

I definitely thought Kelly Clarkson looked horrible. She's gained some weight, and she probably shouldn't have worn that last outfit.

I think Bette Midler needs to cut back on the cigs. Ewww!!

I bet Fantasia was busy with her movie, The Color Purple, I believe.

I never liked Sanjaya, but it was kind of neat that he got to sing. I also thought those awards were kind of funny.

I'm glad with the result though!

[trivos]

It's like they were trying to make it like the Grammy's, which was kinda cheesy to me.

First of all I hate the stage they have been on the last two nights. Everyone sounds horrible!

It kind of seemed like Kelly and Carrie felt like they were too big to be there.

I thought i was going to puke when I had to hear Sanjaya sing.Why should he get his own song? It could have been Lakisha or Phil or Chris but not Sanjaya. I know it was probably to be fuuny. He sounded just as horrible as I had remembered.

I enjoyed Taylor. I was a big Katherine Mcphee fan but I liked watching Taylor perform. I can't listen to him on the radio because it's just too boring.

Bette Midler was LOUSY! I could not believe how awful she sounded. There was no excuse for that. You could not pay my enough money to watch her in concert.

The show did drag on way too long. I was getting very frustrated because I just wanted to know who won.

I like Blake but I am glad that Jordin won.

Oh....and Rueben WHO????lol

i haven't heard of him since he won his season. Then they show him getting out of a limo with his sunglasses on like he is some big star. Whatever!

[peacoxx]

lol i enjoyed Taylor too but i too was a Katharine fan, BIG i was listening to her music on her myspace, eh not great. Kelly C really has some great writers behind her and her talent is great as well. She may have put on some lbs but she looks great even when thick, she's built, like we say, a black chick, big booty and thighs and hips...DH was saying how he would have tried LMAO he's sick.

Ruben is on his second album but all of his songs sound the freakin same, if you don't have good writers you won't be any good. This is why nonsingers do better than the best. I wanted Ruben to win when he did, i mean clay is wonderful, but who can stand the faces he makes, and the better he got the more he started singing with this weird inflection in his voice...he's funny though, every time he's on jimmy kimmel DH and I crack up.

[SusieQ2]

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who thought Bette was terrible. DH walked in the house and said "who is that singing and why are they trying to torture people."

Pamala, Celine is almost finished with her engagement where she always performs at that hotel in Vegas. Bette is replacing her. They're gonna have to give away those tickets!

Trivos, Rueben won the second season up against Clay Aiken (who really should have one.)

I didn't even think about the movie Fantasia was doing. I would have liked to see her tonight. They should have had Jennifer Hudson sing. That girl has got some serious vocals!

[*Angel*]

OMG I agree with eveything you said Susan except for the Melinda part. I honestly had to mute the TV when Better Midler sang, I thought she was just aweful!!! I thought that was by far the longest 2 hours of my life!!!! I felt like they were never ever gonna announce the winner. The last part of your post, the part in all caps, you sounded just like me, I was totally freaking out. I even told Blake I was just gonna say screw it and open this post cuz I was tired of waiting! I didnt though!! Im glad she won and Im even glader its over!!

[SusieQ2]

This just occurred to me: now WTH am I gonna do on Tuesday and Wednesday night????

I am attaching the spoof the Sanjaya Anthem guy did for Blake, it's funny

I think So you think you can dance is gonna be on...and well for Monday's DH and I love Hell's Kitchen which starts again WOOHOO..

Jennifer Hudson can sing too, but she reminds me of Melinda, great voice but that's it for me.

I always set my DVR for to last 5minutes longer than when the show is supposed to end .. but still.. they announced the winner.. Blake hugged her and it stopped right there in the middle of the hug! I have no idea what happened after that.
I agree with just about everything that each of you said. But.. Even though Bette sounded terrible I love her singing that song in Beaches! Sooo I thought of the movie when she sang it.
