Part 1 - American Idol Finale Results - Our Take 05-21-08

 American Idol  Finale Results

 Our Take 05-21-08

Part 1 -Michael's Take

(Repost From This Morning)

The American Idol  Finale Show was a long one... ran overtime as usual for this show lately...

There were so many scenes or segments on this American Idol Finale, that Michael and Tina are blogging their comments separately today:

Michael first...

The percentage of the scoring 56% to 44% was the vote tally - Ryan had to say that early didn't he? Either to suggest the 'favorite' had won... or to build up suspense! So there's no margin for error on the results... no recount...

Re: The Love Guru promo commerical - bad taste IMHO, almost as bad as Macy's Parade has become...

Ryan's intro of Jason Castro - Oh no Not JC solo!

Song 'She Works Hard...' Hey I miss Amanda and Carly performing!

Seacrest during the stomping song by Donna.... Alright Ryan!

Syesha and Donna Summer on Last Dance duet segment - Syesha held her own... She'll do good!

Carly and Michael Johns duet - Wow she Looks Hot!

Kimmel on Simon's year long comments that were set to music video - Funnnny!

'Sharp Dressed Man' - DC with ZZ Top - Why didn't DC sing THAT song last night?!!

DC in Guitar Hero commercial - WoW! Great Take Off!

Renaldo Lapuz with USC Marching Band - There's his 5 minutes of fame (again!) but I like him!

 'Unseen Footage' of Gladys Knight and the 'Pips' tryouts... Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr - I liked this segment, not as much as Tina who just kept commenting about Jack and Robert's antics during the whole video, but I liked it!

Carrie Underwood's performance - WoW! Darn Good! However the lower level cameraman could have been more discreet in filming for a family show!

DA's Guitar Hero commercial - You gotta be kidding!

Top 12 Final Performance for Season 7 on the George Michael melody... Ok, but George's solo made me sleepy... and just before the results were given!

Just before the American Idol Results: Ryan asked the judges one more time of their thoughts. Randy had toned down his over exuberance for DA a bit. Paula said her usual nice things about both and actually came over better tonight in doing so. And then Simon apologized to DC for calling the show's results before voting started, after reviewing the previous night's tape. Did he have an inkling of what the results would be tonight...?

The Results...by 12 million votes, it's David Cook! Looks like the 'Curse of Simon' struck again for DA!

(...continued from bottom of first column)

So it's DC' night after all!  Allright!!!

Looks like Simon covered his bases just in time for the shocking finale results...

Ending song by DC was 'Time Of My Life', which in his case was appropo!

I'm glad he won the 'American Idol'  Title and the ending song and his actions of bringing in 'Archie' as he calls DA and the others to share in the final moments was Alright in My Book!

I was so glad that Simon addressed David Cook in the end. No matter what, at that point it's a head-to-head by two people who have fought against tremendous odds and both should be treated with respect for the position they are in. I think by that time, people have made up their minds about who they want for the next American Idol, and unless somebody completely and totally crashes and burns, it's not going to make a lot of difference how they vote. They're opinions have been established over weeks, not over one night's performance.

Just a big ole wake up call for Simon. Your opinion is really not worth a whole heck of a lot at that stage of the game so time to shut it up and just give both the kudos they deserve.

I like Simon, he makes it fun, but his attitude was uncalled for that night, and he acknowledged it, which was the right thing to do.

rockon audi - No... I didn't get back to yours.... but I hadda say sumthing
about asking everyone to 'Go Fly a kite' again!! LOL

We'll be fine here I'm sure, the wind chimes are going strong, but we're along the coast on a hill overlooking a lagoon, so unless a tidal wave comes in on the west, or a fire comes in on the east or south, we'll be just fine!

And... I'll go look now at your reply there!!
