This season, I am not at all concerned with who will be crowned The American Idol, so it’s a nice change of pace. I am, however, really excited to see the show. I love that all the Idol Winners will be back (plus a ton of non-winners), and Paula! Think Paula will sit at the Judges table one last time?
Lets get this show on the road…
Both finalists hail from the Chicago auditions.
Will it be Crystal or will it bee Lee????
THIS……….IS American Idol!!!!
TONS of Idols in the audience.
Coming into last night 2% separated the finalists. no mention on if it was close last night (Which means it wasn’t) and no mention on the vote totals.
Ryan talks to the finalists. They are matching in dress. Very cute. School type outfits.
Checking in with the hometown…LARGE crowds for both.
The top 12 singing “School’s Out For Summer” by Alice gooper (Thus, the school outfits.) …And here is Alice Cooper. lol. No lip syncing tonight folks.
Break time
And now KRIS ALLEN!!! He is singing “The Truth”
And now a Simon Tribute…Showing how MEAN he is. lol
Siobhan Magnus and Arron Kelly singing the Bee Gees. And Cue the Bee Gees. amazing to see them. Robin and Barry. No lip syncing here either.
Michael Lynch is now singing the Doobie Brothers,…..And here is Michael McDonald. they are singing Takin it to the Streets.
Now a special song set to some of Simon’s Gtreatest insults performed by Dane Cook. lol All the train wrecks on stage now….William hung, Tatiana, etc.
The Top 6 Girls sing Christina Aquilera’s… “I am Beautiful” and “Fighter”…and Here’s Christina…..Singing “You Lost Me”.
Ricky Gervais says goodbye to Simon via Satellite.
The top 12 boys are singing a Hall and oats montage with Hall and Oats. Ultra cool
We talk to Crystal’s father. Sweet. Crystal is singing a duet with Alanis Morisette.
Carrie Underwood singing “Undo It”
Lee and Crystal gets Ford Fiestas with Custom Graphics that they designed. Neither shows excitement. lol. Kris give them the cars.Now the LAST Ford Video of 2010.
Ryan talks to Lee and Crystal again. Asks how they are doing.
Casey James sings “Every Rose Has its Thorn” with the newest Apprentice and really lucky guy, Bret Michaels. HE is AMAZING!!!! EPIC. Emotional.
Lee Dewyze and Chicago doing a Chicago medley.
Checking in with the Chicago/Mt. Prospect with Matt Rogers. HUGE Crowd.
Back to Simon’s favorite subject. Simon. Cute video montage.
Now General Larry Platt with “Pants on the Ground” with William Hung. God.
Ryan pimping the tour.
Paula video talking about Simon. Cue Paula. she comes on stage and talks to each judge. She looks amazing. She has special words for Simon. Tells him that out of everyone that she has ever worked with he is by far the best. That he made her a better, stronger person. The audience is quiet listening to every word. Very touching. And now a touching montage to Frank Sinatra’s “My Way”
Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barino, Taylor Hicks, Carrie Underwood, Jordin Sparks and Kris Allen sing.and DOZENS of top 12ers sing with them. WOW, Just WOW. Very Special. One of the greatest Idol moments. And FYI David Cook was already scheduled for a charity event and wouldn’t break the commitment.
Ryan asks Simon to join them on stage. Simon says how emotional he is. How great it is to have Paula back. Simon says that America is the true Jude of the show. He thanks everyone. Very touching moment on Idol. One of the best finale moments ever.
The top 12 are singing a Michael Jackson Montage with Janet Jackson. now she sings her hit, “Nasty Boy”
Ryan takes us back to August 31, 2009 in Chicago and we see Lee And Crystals AI journeys. They started together in Chicago. and sat next to each other. Now we get “A Little Help From My Friends” from Crystal and Lee. Joe Cocker joins them for the song.
AND NOW….THE RESULTS
The envelope is onstage……
Dim the lights.
the winner of American Idol season 9 is……
LEE DEWYZE!!!!!!
Lee is VERY surprised, and is crying. He cannot believe it.
It was Barry & Robin Gibb, Maurice died several years ago…
BEE GEES!! HOW AWESOME!!!
Alright Brett Michaels, what a trooper, he so ROCKS!!!!
So what are the chances you’re going to try and make a list of all the top 12ers that are there? I am having trouble remembering many of them! Also, why is the whole show about Simon? (Other than the fact that he is leaving…)
I will try to in a bit.
worst AI winner ever. taylor hicks has done better than lee will ever do. at least crystal will do better than him… hehe
Thanks Joe. That will ease the pain a little…
Neither will do well. Simon Fuller will be clueless in how to market Crystal. Lee is just not that good. In reality, if he plays his cards right, Tim Urban could be the biggest success story to come out of this disastrous season.
