The results of the finale were a little disappointing for me as a viewer. I honestly felt like anybody with a semblance of fair play could tell you that Crystal Bowersox wiped the floor with Lee Dewyze, but, it was America’s choice and they decided to go with the young Dewyze. Quite an upset, in my opinion. Let’s take a moment to talk about the runner-up! » Read more: The NGH Report – Thoughts on American Idol 9’s Top 2 Results

‘American Idol’: On the scene for Simon Cowell’s last night in the Idoldome (and, oh yeah, the results) & Who Won the Coin Toss
May 21st, 2010There was already a celebration underway on stage when I first walked into the Idoldome last night — the final night this season for the Idoldome, point of fact, as next week the show moves what is sure to be its mildly diverting positively riveting finale to downtown Los Angeles in the behemoth Nokia Theater, a.k.a. the IdolDeathStar. Surveying the scene back in the Idoldome, for a second I surmised the ongoing festivities were for Casey, Crystal, and Lee, since all twelve season 9 finalists were there (including that one with the red hair! and the other one with the color contacts!), as were Ryan Seacrest and Debbie the Stage Manager. But then I spotted several Idol PAs, a few network suit types, and three out of the four American Idol judges, all gathered around a giant cake with candles, and the audience was up on its feet, happily cheering away. “Oh, of course,” I thought, “the Simon Cowell farewell festivities have begun! This is the man’s final night inside the Idoldome, after all. That’s kinda sweet that they actually managed to do something for him off camera.” But wait, then why was Simon nowhere to be seen?
