Well, I could do without the "awards" making fun of people...sad really! But is there any doubt that Melinda should be the Idol? Great job on two songs easily matching vocals with successful performers. Blake's beat box thing was OK, I guess...simply not my thing. Haley is still hot....!

Wow, I knew Carrie Underwood's album was huge but six million sold in US alone!! That is a fantastic number!

OK, so I must be going tone deaf cause I actually enjoyed Sanjaya's performance...of course having Joe Perry jamming behind him helped! And Green Day is always great! Have I mentioned that Haley is still hot?

Yeah, I didn't notice!
Taylor Hicks has improved...good performance! Rubin and Jordin sounded great together!
and...let me check...yeah, Haley is still hot!

I thought it sounded a bit strange in the beginning too...it got better as she went along, not sure if it was a sound problem or whether she was off. Anyway, maybe Haley's hotness was affecting my hearing!

Great job by all on Sgt Pepper but Carrie Underwood is simply a fantastic singer...Kelly was quite good as usual but Carrie is in a class of her own I think, Rubin underwhelmed me and Taylor was nothing special...but again, wasn't Haley hot?

She sounded TERRIBLE. Something was way off there.

I hated the Sgt Peppers cover, but 'Friends' was outstanding!

Jordin Sparks...American Idol! That restores some faith in the general public. I thought her poise during her last song was a thing to behold, she clearly was breaking down yet her voice remained true to the end...I really think she has a bright future!

Not terrible but it seemed off somehow! How old is Bette now? I remember when she was singing topless in gay bath houses in Frisco...seems like not that long ago but probably was!

I think it was the correct vote, she has great all around appeal.
A good season if you ask me. the final 12 was a pretty likeable group.

They all seemed like good kids (I can say "kids" at my age) and they clearly liked each other. The top six girls were as good or better than all the guys though. You can't help but like Jordin and Blake showed real class throughout. Melinda is the best vocalist but Jordin has that huge upside...I'm satisfied but wish those two could have gone head to head in the finals.

Eek.

Congrats to Jordin Sparks on winning...

Outside of the stupid awards and Joe Perry having to play guitar for Sanjaya I thought it was a really good show....Best performance of the night for me???

I thought that Blake and Doug E Fresh brought the house down....nothing like a trip down memory lane.....six minutes!!!!

I could not be happier. I feel so vindicated after last season. Getting to follow my favorite auditioner through the entire process was so much fun and I'm thankful that she never got the boot on one of her more nondescript performances from much earlier in the season!
