The past Idol winners should come back and sing on the show. If it wasn't for Idol these people wouldn't have their singing carrers.

Clive Davis mentioned Fantasia and her The Color Purple gig during his speech for Carrie Underwood. Other than that, there were no other mentions that I can remember.

Last night was a mildly entertaining show. They really need to get rid of those "Golden Idol" or whatever the heck those stupid awards are called. The bits weren't even funny.

I forgot that she was appearing nightly on Broadway. I'm sure that's why she wasn't there.

Well, filler, filler, filler. What a shocker. Two hours to make a 20 second announcement! Was Bo Bice on? I'm surprised that they haven't shown him at all. I always thought he was really great.

You want to hear something funny? My wife and I DVR-ed the show and I even added 3 minutes to the taping time the day before "just in case". You can guess what happens next - right when Ryan was about to announce the winner, the DVR runs out (since DVRs don't have the ability to adapt to overrunning live programs).

Luckily, when the recording ran out and my TV went back to the regular station, the channel was on FOX. I just had to rewind for 20 minutes and we got to pick up where we left off.

That figures!! I hate that about the DVR.

My power went out for a minute this morning -- luckily JUST after my recording of the last part of the Saga. I'd've been PISSED if it stopped during the ending!!

I'm glad Jordin won - she deserved it! Anyone notice the big "Jordan" sign during the show? What a fan...

So would all the people that you promised copies to.

I wanted to throw my shoe at the tv when they showed that little girl crying over Sanjaya again.

I knew I saw that! I was the only one in my house who even cared that a fan spelled her name wrong. Everyone else was basically telling me "yeah right" followed by "Who cares, shhhh!". I'm glad someone else saw that.
