Double ditto....I think this turned out best for both of them, don't you?
If Bo had won, the unforgiving half of America would be hating him with relentless bashing.
Now he's free to perform for his true blue fans, who will keep him buoyed.
How can anyone dis him after his generous
performances tonight?
Every gesture of his was selfless and outward, either toward the audience, the band, his family or his fellow contestants.
It was more than practiced showmanship.
He loved every moment.
When Carrie won, it was the first time we've seen her
turn truly outward. She seemed genuinely grateful, and it was beautiful.
Yes it was!
Something else I noticed was how Carrie handled herself in all the post-show interviews. She was so graceful and dignified and soft-spoken--a sharp contrast from how Fantasia conducted her interviews last year, crying all over the place, snot--actual snot--dripping from her nose ... yuck, what a mess. And I didn't think she was genuine at all. Fantastia would go on a crying jag, thank God, her mama, etc., then the tears would suddenly stop until a new camera was pointed at her and the whole crying jag would start again: "I wanna thank God, my mama ..."
Carrie outclasses her (and out-sings her) by a mile.
I feel the same. Bo was my favorite, but I'm glad Carrie won.
I think Bo was happy with his record contract, the car, and fronting Lynard Skynard in front of a large national audience. That huge grin on his face while he was singing "Sweet Home" was all the proof I needed.
Everybody won.
Especially AI. Carrie and Bo saved it.
