I wandered off while Clive was babbling. Although I think I did catch a "Taylor and Katherine still might catch on like DAUGHTRY! Honest! They really could"-type statement, right? I found it amusing.
AI has taken padding to a freakin' art form.
He's never going to win a Grammy -- I'll be stunned if he ever records an album -- but I still think Sanjaya's got twice the performing chops as half the others in the top 12. Say what you will, I just have to watch things like him performing with Joe Perry.
right before he walked into the crowd, i said "please let them have that crying little girl in the audience" and they did!! ahahaha!! that just never gets old for me.

Totally. But there was also a lot about "professional songwriters" and the "American Idol album franchise."
At least there's a lot of performances! Although I should have wasted more time before starting to watch this -- I think I'm all caught up and will have to watch commercials from here on out.

Hee. I love that she was crying
again. It was like an SNL skit, live.
ETA: I didn't watch last year. And yeah. I don't get the Taylor thing.
And this, folks, is why it's dangerous to channel surf.
The hell? Bette Middler?
I think this show is unfortunately continuing the misguided trend this season of focusing more on guests than the contestants. The S1 and S2 finales seemed to be more about the top 12.
I haven't watched another finale until now.
I love dirty Bette so much better than torch song Bette, but still. Bette! But somehow she was reminding me of Melinda around the (lack of) neck, or something.
Oh god, "She's Leaving Home" always SLAYS me, because I put it on a mix tape I made for my parents shortly before I left for college, and we all stood in the kitchen and cried and cried. Sniff.
Seriously, two hours and they're running over? RIDIC.
agreed, Jesse. i'd be pissed if i was on tape delay because i wouldn't have gotten to see the fucking results. unfortunately, i would have been better off.
stupid America. enjoy your bland, everyday AI winner! she can go join the multitude of other winners who do absolutely nothing for me.
I'm glad Blake didn't win! Because he's too awesome for that jackass song!
