LOL, I did not catch this at the time! You're right!
It’s all moot now.
Like that final line from “Saving Private Ryan,” Lee now has to “earn this.”
I whip pretty fast through this thread but there are always posts that catch me off guard and crack me the heck up!!
Thank you, Jonny, for a wonderful thread and a wonderful season! I will really miss it, and Idol. I know it wasn’t the greatest of seasons, but tonight was worth it all. This would have been a great finale to Idol forever. Maybe it should be.
I am thrilled that Lee won. I voted for him because he was so happy to be on Idol, happy to learn from the judges, took a lot of notes, worked, improved, came out of his shell. He has a great-sounding voice. I am sure Rod Stewart misses a note or two and no one cares.
Arguably, Bowersox was the better singer. But she did not even attempt to make her self likable by the audience, and she really, really wasn’t.
My prediction: Casey will do even better than the two of them, though I’d like to see Lee keep performing his whole life. (And as we see by tonight’s show, performing your entire life is not a stretch! Several people were released from nursing homes to be there tonight.)

Thank you so much for the live thread.
It is very much appreciated.
It was a great finale!
Jonny - thanks so much for another great season of hosting awesomeness. We would have stopped watching the show ages ago if it weren’t for this thread being so much fun. You’re the best!
LOL, thanks :)
Me too :(
Poor Milhouse ... That one hits a little close to home, lol
LOL, Okay :)
Hi! Thank you so much :) It’s my pleasure.
Right-clicked and saved ;)
Thank you for what you said :) I wish you could have joined in the thread--you're always welcome here.
I wanna know: why was Susan Boyle missing ???
Susan was on a different show--X-Factor. I guess Simon will be staying with both the British and American versions of that show and will just leave Idol behind.
I just bought 5 tickets to see American Idol In July
At least she has (real) talent.......
American Idol won, America’s best singer, didn’t.
” Like that final line from “Saving Private Ryan,” Lee now has to “earn this.””
Agree. Will be interesting to see how he fares..........
What was your impression of Chris Allens performance?
