I believe that was the most moving victory moment I’ve ever seen on this show. Wow.

[Fawn]

Thank you Jonny..... Goodnight all ....

It was totally genunine—not contrived at all. I am so happy for him! I hope he is going to be OK!

So true Jonny.

Family first for him. No limelight, and one tough man to make it through the stress of the competition with his condition.

First Idol we have felt good about for awhile even though he beat our favorites.

Good night and thanks again.

I totally agree. As soon as I noticed he was starting to tear up, I started to go. Then I just lost it when he took off his guitar and went to his family.

Once again, thank you so much for hosting this great thread-I am going to miss it!

Touching. Cookie’s win was too — wasn’t his bro dying, or just had passed?

Johnny, I’ve been so absent this season, sometimes reading the thread very late and not commenting because it is so hard to re-find your place in the thread again. fR used to take you back to where you were previously in the thread before your comment but now you are always taken back to the top of the loooong page and now I am always on the iPad.

But I want to tell you how special the thread is to me, how FUNNY you and the merry band of regulars are, and how nice it is to have two nights of fun break from real life and enjoy your company.

I wish you did another thread because I will miss you all so much before January. We watch America’s Got Talent on Monday nights. You might look and see If it interests you. They have Howard stern now and he is much better than loser piers Morgan whom Howard replaced.

And the host is nick cannon, who is very sick with lupus and a real sweetie. Tell me f you do a thread on it.

I love you, dude, and just want to say thanks for the joy your thread and you bring to us!! Group hug!!

Going to go order a dark bodysuit to wear all summer, with the thighs cut out, while. Try to lose these pregnancy pounds. Until this finale I thought I couldn’t wear such things. ;)
