Frankie Valli looked embalmed..
Read it here and lots more
Kree began smiling and wearing bright clothes tooooooooooooooooooooooo late. As Randy would say, "Candace had mad skills." True dat.
I can say that their web site crashed and on a big night for people without tvs, they shoulda had more servers. I've only seen a few clips this morning but Candance singing with Jennifer Hudson was nice. That's all I've seen and the hugging at the announce.
DAWG, YOU HAVE MAD SKILLS.
Mariah’s video was terrible. It didn’t look like they invested much in it.
Candace can show everybody in the world how it’s done. At least this time she got through! Candace is awesome.
Idol ratings/viewership down

Summary
American Idol wrapped its twelfth season on Fox with a low for a finale. Fast National returns have the two-hour episode (which aired between 8 and 10:08 p.m.) averaging a 3.4 rating among adults 18-49, a massive 47 percent drop from last year’s ender. Among total viewers, American Idol was down 8 million viewers to 13.6 million — the first time a finale has not reached the 20-million mark. Though American Idol’s ratings will surely see some improvement when final returns come in later on Friday, it will still by a far cry from last year’s ender. That episode brought in a finale low of a 6.4 rating among adults 18-49 and 21.5 million viewers — and that were down from the 9.2 adults rating and 29.3 million in 2011.
Candace clearly got Angie’s votes when Angie got the boot. If they didn’t announce the vote total, maybe cuz it was lower than usual and they already feel bad enough about their ratings.

Agree. Congrats to Candace as winner.
Still like Kree better, and will follow her to see if she is successful.
In any case enjoyed exchanging posts, and see you next season
We all called it!!! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2325906/Mariah-Carey-refuses-join-fellow-judges-standing-ovation-J-Los-performance-American-Idol-Final.html
See you next season. I think if they change most of it, it will be a new adventure. Not having network tv, I must say that the streaming media has focused too much on the judges and not enough about the contestants. I know way more about the judges than any of the contestants. Dang the mainstream media. They report the news that they think is more gossipy.
In conclusion, so many spring chickens are away from tv and watching on their phones, ipads, etc or downloading later on. Nielsen ratings is configuring a new way to do ratings but I don’t they it’s ready yet. They are in Dunedin, FL.
Hahahaha! For some reason, I love their feud.
(I always like to imagine I'm the Joan, but I'm totally the Roger)
Sorry I couldn’t be here for the end parts, but I have been reading the posts ex-pos factos.
Thanks again Jonny for hosting these threads — I am sure next season will see the max snark — maybe even before the season starts (DRAMA! AI combines with Dancing With The Stars to create American Squaredance Calling With The Stars’ Idols hosted by the late Minnie Pearl!).
My love to all you AI regulars — take care and keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down!
OK, I had to get Post 7,000 even
HAH
