American Idol Comes To An End

I  read this article about American Idol. Interesting stuff. The show was different without Paula, but I thought it was okay. It's going to be weird without Simon, but like Paula said on tonight's show, it will go on....

I do agree with some of the things it said about song choices and theme nights. And I like it when they have guest judges. I liked a few of the mentors, but a few of them I could have done without. Maybe it will be better next year.

I just finished watching the finale. Soooooooooooooo happy that this guy won!

I really liked the performance with all the past idols, but where was this guy?

 I was not at all impressed with Christina Aguilera's costume, or Janet Jackson's either. I thought they both looked rather trashy.

It was really nice to see Paula Abdul again!

Would have loved to have seen this guy!

He is still my all time favorite contestant!

Really am so happy that Lee won!

Lots Of Post It Thoughts

200

Yes, I can't hardly believe it, but it's my 200th post!

I haven't been feeling all that bloggy the last week or so. I enjoyed doing the Valentine's Day Extravaganza last week. It was fun to tell some of the old stories. But, I've not had a lot of inspiration of my own for writing posts lately.

Today I want to talk about American Idol.

Do you watch the show?
What do you think of Ellen as the new judge this year?
Do you have any early favorites yet?
Do you vote on your favorites?
Are you sad that this is Simon's last year?

So far, I'm really liking the humor Ellen is bringing to the show. We'll see how she does when we actually get into the top 12 though...

I have mixed feelings about Simon leaving. He's never been my favorite judge, but it just won't feel like American Idol without him. I guess the same could be said when Paula left too, but they did a good job of replacing her. You really can't replace Paula, she was one of a kind, but they found someone who fits nicely with the other judges.

I do vote when I have the time and a contestant that I REALLY like.

Here are a few that I'm looking forward to seeing make it all the way to the top 12.

I really like Michael Lynch, but when I was searching for this picture I discovered that someone in his family broke the confidentiality agreement and leaked that he was disqualified from the top 24. I'll be interested to see if that's true and what it's all about.

Okay, I'm going to admit it....Casey James is hot! And he can sing! I may not be crushing on him as much as I was Chris Daughtry, but he's one to watch for sure!

Looking forward to tonight to find out who the rest of the Top 24 are!
