Another surprise

For the second year in a row, an upset on American Idol. As I wrote after Tuesday night's show, I thought Adam should have won, but liked Kris a lot too and wouldn't have a problem if he won. So it was a nice moment when Kris actually said, "Adam deserves this." Both guys were very gracious and it seems they both might have nice careers ahead of them--with all the attention Adam has received, this loss shouldn't hurt him at all.

I don't have much else to say--I've been a slacker all season in blogging Idol, so why should the finale be any different? But a few thoughts on the finale.

Best duet: Kris and Keith Urban
Not-the-best duet: Lil Rounds and Queen Latifah

Least welcome return: Norman Gentle--talk about a one-trick pony, he did the same bit for the fourth time
Most amusing award bit: Bikini Girl return and her, um, new body, and then Kara's attempt to outsing her. I guess Kara can't judge well and can't write a good coronation song, so at least she showed she could do a decent job on a Mariah Carey song--which is actually kind of sad, if you think about it. But her opening her dress did make me laugh.

Worst performance of the night: Rod Stewart. Wow, was he bad. He sounded 100 years old. He's really touring this summer? I'm sure there were people calling Ticketmaster and requesting refunds after last night.

And that's it. We've come to the end of another Idol season, and we'll see next January whether I'm up for blogging season nine. Thanks for reading.

Fingerhut out.
