On my local news, I just saw an interview with Ryan Seacrest..and he said that the card that he has on stage is blank...

They used to have the name on them...but the contestants would try to read it..and, he said, since he is only 5'9"...they were always tall enough to see...so they leave it blank...LOL

Also, he said that for some reason that I missed, Prince almost didn't get there tonight...YIKES, that would have left a hole in the show, right? Timing wise I mean..for any of you that aren't Prince fans like I am.

I just wish I could have seen him..

Thanks for all the bits of news. Nothing worth watching on our local fox affiliate......boo hoo. I never will get enough of Idol.

Hope your grandbaby is okay. Give her an extra hug.

I'm sure you'll be able to download segments of the show from some website. The fans are very good at capturing all the good stuff :)

So do you think they tell him the winner in a mike in his ear? Certainly it doesn't come up on the teleprompter.
