Alanis Morissette and Crystal, "You Oughta Know"
This was one of my favorite parts, and I thought it was a good match overall!
It definitely reminded me of how much I used to love Alanis and the entire Jagged Little Pill CD .
Brett Michaels and Casey
Was anyone else shocked to see Brett Michaels walk onto that stage?
Given everything he's been through lately, I was thoroughly surprised!
Carrie Underwood Performance
Everytime I see Carrie Underwood perform, I love her a little more.
Not only does she always look fantastic, but she's an outstanding performer.
I'm off to download Undo It now.
Bald Janet Jackson?
This is what went through my head when Janet came on stage,
"It sure sounds like Janet, but whoa, Janet's not bald. Oh wait, I think that's really her.
Please tell me she didn't go all Brittney on us and shave her head."
Despite the new nearly hairless do, I love me some Janet. A good rendition of Nasty Boys will always make me long for Design of the Decade on my boom box circa 1995!
(Yes, I know she's not technically bald, but whoa, she's pretty close)
Farewell Simon
The Simon and Paula love-fest was almost a little too much for my stomach, but you're gotta hand it to the guy, he's very good at what he does. He's brutally honest and rude, but the show never would have made it this long without him. I do feel like this farewell overshadowed the real reason for the finale a bit, but I did appreciate the comedic montages.
I seriously doubt that Idol can make it without him next year, but we will see!
Lee is the next American Idol!
In the beginning, you'll remember that I had Siobhan and Crystal pegged for the final two. I'm not really a fan of either of their kinds of music, but I really thought they were the two favorites. I don't even think that I had Lee in my "pretend Top 6," which shows how much I know.
Overall, I think Crystal was a better singer, but I'm very glad that Lee won. Also, thank God they got rid of the hokey "reach for the stars" song that they were always forced to release as their first single. I've hated that for years, and am SOOO glad they got rid of it this year.
Well, that's my ridiculously long Idol recap. What did you think of last nights show? Do you think Idol will make it next year without Simon? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I loved the finale last night. I thought it was great! I'm going to miss Simon SO MUCH! I love him. :) And the new Carrie Underwood song is great. GO LEE! (sorry for my randomness)
Carrie Underwood is so darling and I love her more every time I see her too! She's so talented! Go Lee! I agree that this season wasn't as exciting as those in the past, but I still enjoyed the finale. I'll miss Simon next year!

I adore Carrie Underwood, too. She's just so talented! And I'm SO glad that Lee won! He was my favorite all of the way through!
love your recap!
Thanks for the short & sweet recap! :) I have never been a huge idol fan so by now... I'm tired of it! HA! I usually turn the station or just tune out whenever the morning radio djs are talking about it and honestly usually don't read blog posts about it... But yours was to the point! :) Love Carrie too... she's so freakin' beautiful!!!
Janet Jackson's performance was AWESOME! Love me some Nasty Boys, too :)
And I don't think that it will do as well without Simon next year... pretty sure I won't be tuning in!
Have a great week!
I haven't watched Idol in years now, but I was thinking this morning, now that it's almost surely nearing the end (I don't think it can survive without Simon), who were my favorites? And do I still like them? And I could only name TWO - Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. Love them both.
I pretty much agree with everything you said! What did you think of my lover Dane Cook? It won't hurt my feelings if you say it was not good, cause I only laughed once. He posted something about the full version, maybe it is funny.
I am in love with IDOL... unfortunately, I don't think I will watch it from now on. I just don't think it will be the same. But who knows? Hope you have a wonderful memorial day weekend!
