[silent_jonny]

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

[Shelayne]

Once again--

THANK YOU, (((JONNY)))!! You are the host with the MOST!

[Fawn]

[cajungirl]

[silent_jonny]

[Fawn]

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

Thanks, jonny. It’s great to watch Idol and follow along here. The comments are a hoot.

There’s probably a lot of us who don’t join in the conversation, but most definitely appreciate your dedication to keeping this thread going.

Love that Phillip Phillips...and Steven Tyler and Aerosmith.

I think they have had that. It seems like Hicks held it aloft.

[Shelayne]

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

[tapatio]

Thank you for the thread Jonny! Night all!

[patriotspride]

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.

Thank you for hosting this thread. You put up with an incredible amount of crap, but this is still the best live thread on FR. Have a wonder summer, Friend. ((((((jonny)))))) And you better not swear off the internet at least until Mad Men is over! :-)

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Well said, Retrokitten!

Thanks for EVERYTHING, Jonny!

[MagUSNRET]

YOu two make my imaginary Menage A Trois FUN :-) (Speakin strictly in snarkin and typin terms that is ;-) LOL
Love ya both! Keep safe and well.!!

[retrokitten]

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.

Jonny,

Let me add my thanks to the others. You are a fabulous host and this is a hilarious, fun thread. I’m on the West Coast, so I can’t even see what you all are talking about until later, but it’s STILL hilarious! Thank you for another wonderful season of Idol and snarkiness!

Yep, time to get that surgery done. Glad he won and wish him and the others the best.

[retrokitten]

I used this one too early. It's completely perfect for your post! LMAO!

TV was weird tonight. When O'Reilly and Hannity were on, the cable news audio was messed up. Even msnbc was messed up. During AI, I couldn't tell it they were using old footage or doing live stuff. The only thing I'm pretty sure of is that JLo was lip syncing cuz her lips weren't moving to her layered track of her voice.

I STILL think that Hollie could have beaten PP but America didn't vote for her. Skylar needs to stop wearing those big Santa Claus belts that cut her in two.

Chaka Khan looked slimmer. John Fogarty sucked IMO. I almost fell asleep a few times.

The audio tonight was bad on tv. I thought Jessica was singing I will always Love You from old footage. It was very confusing all the announcing and people walkin' out. NEIL DIAMOND should have talked the entire medley. His voice IMO is shot to hell. :)
