Our two hour finale extravaganza begins with our finalists doing a huge sing along with the so you think you can dance dancers, then the Davids join together for what I believe is a Nickelback song from Spiederman, "Hero". Maybe there was a tie and the duo wins the competition. They actually sound pretty good together.
The love guru promotion is pretty damn stupid and goes on for way too long, but at least he insults the Davids a bit. Seacrest hops on the love guru's magic carpet/pillow and is taken for a ride. I am not going to see that movie.
Next Syesha is up and Seal appears from nowhere to join her. She's still not cool.
Jason Castro is back to sing "Hallelujah" again. Without question this was his strongest performance of the season. In fact it was on of the highlights of the season in general for me. At least he gets a chance to redeem himself, and its awesome again.
Now it's a dumb "Let the Good Times Roll" montage of this seasons ford commercials greatest hits, then the traditional Ford giveaway to the Two remaining contestants. It's not too surprising that his year they are giving away hybrids, what with gas prices the way they are.
The hits keep coming as the Top Six ladies take on a Donna Summer "Hot Stuff" medley. Of course Donna Summers herself is in the house doing her new single, and shes rockin a solid bling mic. Ryan Seacrest tries to fufill a lifelong dream by sneaking into the mix with the male dancers, and he looks like a fool. Then its a "Last Dance"
party.
Carly Smithson and Micheal Johns doing "The Letter" rocks. Like, really fucking rox. The two of them together are spectacular, and this is totally one of the best moments of the season. Then Jimmy Kimmell comes out and slams Sanjaya, which is always appreciated.
We are treated to a great Simon Cowell montage, then the rest of the top six fellas introduce the top 2 as if they are prom king and queen. A Bryan Adams medley begins and I dont like where this is going. Sure enough, Bryan Adams is now onstage and no wonder this guy sold out the Pantages Theatre here in MPLS.
More rock and roll now with David Cook and ZZ Top. "Sharp Dressed Man" is always a rockin song and it is enjoyable. Then Mikayla Gordon from years ago checks in with Cook's music teacher in Kansas City.
Grahm Nash and Brooke White do "Teach Your Children" and I am glad Brooke is long gone.
The Jonas Brothers, the darlings of disney rock, take the stage in an unbearable performance, then the " I am your brother....love you forever..." guy is all alone on stage, but is soon backed up by the USC cheerleading squad and marching band.
Jordin Sparks is here in a golden tinfoil ensemble, and she has her buddy Blake Lewis out in the audience singing along. She sounds pretty good.
Now we've got a Gladys Knight and the Pips gag, with Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downy Jr goofing around. That was mildly entertaining.
Carrie Underwood is here with some crazy white outfit that doesn't cover the bottom half of her body at all.
One (please?!!?!!?) last time with a Top 12 singalong, and this time it is a George Micheal one, with the ladies singing "Faith" and the guys singing "Father Figure" the n all joining in for a harmonious "Freedom". Amanda Overmeyer-how did she make it to the Top 24, let along the Top 12? Man she sucks. The Top Davids introduce Mr. Micheal himself and Paula Abdul simply cannot contain her enthusiasm, and starts shaking her ass immediately. George Micheal kills all the momentum that has been building and slows the show down to a crawl. Paula is clearly in love.
Finally we are at the moment of truth, and when given a chance for final thoughts, Randy and Paula ramble incoherently as usual and Simon Cowell apologizes for being harsh on Cook last night, saying it was not quite the blowout they had initially called. For the first time, Simon says he doesn't care who wins.
Down to results and David Cook has taken the prize with an astonishing 12 million votes more than Archuleta. This is a magnificent day for America. Despite being outsung last night, America has decided overwhelmingly that David Cook is way better than Archuleta. Whew, that was a close one.
