Jessica is safe. [Oh, no]

Also in the finale is...

Phillip!

WTF?!!

I pegged Joshua as the winner, but he goes home, singing "This Is A Man's World"

W T F ?!?! I was hoping for a Joshua/Colton finale... now I lost both.

As I've said before, Jessica has talent, and will be a big star. She's got a great voice, but she's TOO YOUNG RIGHT NOW. At 16, the world is ahead of her. As for Phillip, I like him. Don't love, but like, him. But I don't see him as an Idol winner (same with Kris Allen, who won). Joshua deserved this if Colton didn't.
