Random thoughts on tonight’s final results craptacular...feel free to scroll past them if you’re tired out from all the excitement:
Lil’ Davey: “killing and blood spilling” are not appropriate lyrics for grinning, unless you are Satan, Hitler, or a Frenchman who just won an Olympic Gold Medal.
“Mariska Hargitay”...ROFLMFAO!!!!! Mike Myers is MY Idol!!! “Ryan Seafoam”...Awesome! Couldn’t they just have Mike Myers host it or do standup for two hours...it would be soooooo much better.
Chile was totally phoning it in during the Donna Summer montage, but the rest of the ladies seemed to like singing about prostitues.
I like how they only had Syesha sing with celebrities she “matched”. Guess that’s what she gets for claiming her being on AI is just part of the larger Civil Rights’ Movement.
WTF...having the foreign contestants sing a crappy pop version of “The Letter”?!?! I thought they were rocker wannabes. Goodness, that concert tour is going to suck big time if this is the sort of thing they’ll be performing. On the other hand, if they had sung the far superior “Vanna, Pick Me a Letter”, it would have been fabulous...
Ryan discussing Simon’s nipples was just grody to the max!
“Summer of ‘69” should not be sung by anyone who wasn’t alive in that year. Though I suppose David H. had a whole other meaning in mind when singing it. Also, what’s with the Canadian songs on AMERICAN Idol. Crazy foreigners taking over and AMERICAN institution! Oh wait, it’s a foreign institution, isn’t it. Oops. ;)
While still on the Bryan Adams thing...how funny would it have been to have Lil’ Davey sing “Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman”? He’d probably wind up in a padded room after that.
Anyone else think Cookie should have borrowed the Love Guru’s beard so that he’d fit in with ZZTop better???
Hmmm...“Teach Your Children Well”...How to spell? How to think for themselves? How to spot BS when it smacks them in the face?? And I was in the kitchen making pudding at the end of the song (really, that’s not a euphemism)...did I hear barefoot Brooke tell him he did well like he was a puppy who just finished doing his business?
Another WTF with Reynaldo’s performance...with the USC Marching Band?! It was like a bad knockoff of Outkast doing “Hey Ya! at the Grammys (from 2:45 on):

Oh no...Jordin, don’t do it...your voice! Oh wait, she’s probably going to lip sync anyway. For once I hope that’s the case.
“Download tonight’s performances on iTunes while available.” As opposed to...???
Robert Downey, Jr. was taking his duties as a “pip” pretty seriously. Glad they’re donating the proceeds from the downloads to charity. That’s nice. They could have been so much funnier, though...let Jack Black go crazy, he’s the man!
Although I like “Faith”, I think “I Want Your Sex” would have been much more fun, or perhaps Lil’ Davey’s heartfelt (not) rendition of “Monkey”.
As a final thought: “...All we have to do now is take these lies
And make them true somehow....” The new AI theme song/motto/mantra!

Well, we're glad this season is over. And congrats to David Cook for being the only non-plant in the top 8, and the winner. Not too shabby. But please, let's never talk about this season again. Glad to have you all along for the ride to make fun of this stupid show. We've loved you all. See you next year!
