Seacrest is extra orange and shiny. Randy is dressed in geek chic. The contestants are all wearing cult-like head-to-toe white. Creepy? Yes. Awesome and exciting? Also yes!
The clips of the judges from all season were hilarious. I’d never noticed how Randy says “for me, for you” so much. Hilarious.
David Cook sounded good — what a sad song! He’s such a great performer. We made a good choice last year, didn’t we America? 
What an AMAZING, star-studded finale! Incredible! The Queen performance was insanely cool!
Congrats to our winner: Kris Allen!!!
*** My prediction: Both of these guys will have songs we’ll play on Star in the next 6 months.
I hope people don’t give Kris a hard time about his awkward acceptance/non-acceptance of the win. My guess it that he really thought there was NO way he would win. He seemed completely shocked.
Fun season! See you in January (well, hopefully before then)!

Congrats to Kris!!
Thank You to the voting public for not making that screaming banchee the winner.. if Danny couldn’t win I am sooo glad Kris did. I kept my word and did not watch, so Maggie I found out from you who won. But I will definitely watch my recording of the show tomorrow..
I actually predicted Kris would win on another blog, so, for it being my 1st season, getting that pick right was nice.
Thought that female Oscar scene was hysterical – they go over so many times, but have to rush that girl off? I thought it was staged for a minute. The look on Ryan’s face was priceless.
For the record… I called that from the get-go. “Adam will make the finale, but not win…”
Only thing is I figured it would be Mr. Danny Gokey.
This was the first finale I’ve seen since Fantasia because:
1) I boycotted in protest
2) Last year was the first season I watched since, but was in Jamaica for the finale.
Can I say one more thing… WHOA, Kara!!
