This is it! Who will be the 2009 American Idol?? Just under 100,000,000 votes last night! Whew! I'm not sure how much of dent my votes made in that.
Oh my.... they're making fun of Randy!! For you, for me, for you....! Chris has been doing that all season! Kara .... the "sweetest" one ... ha! And Paula.... I've commented on how she likes to use big words! And Simon ... he's not from this country, I guess it's OK if he doesn't understand us!
Okay, it's always nice to make fun of the judges!
It would have been nice of them to turn Kris and Adam's microphones!
A trip to the hometowns for each of them (Hi Carly! We've missed you!) and then back for the group sing... oh, how I've not missed these! Not nearly as cheesy as they normally are!
First guest performance of the night, the reigning American Idol, David Cook with his new song, "Permanent". Nice!! I have to admit I haven't heard much of anything he's done so far, but what I have heard, I've liked!
And now - one of my favorite parts of the entire season ... the Golden Idol Awards!!
Norman Gentle! Pleeeeease let it be Norman!! Errr... Nick. I'm so confused!
Oh, I think this really MAY be my favorite part! Oooh, Ryan with the glasses and headband is SCARY!
Next guest performance - Lil Rounds and Queen Latifah.
Jason Mraz! ... with Anoop and Alexis (and the rest as backup singers)
Next up - Keith Urban and Kris! Yea!!!!!!!!! A great song, for Keith, for Kris, or both! Wow, I'm loving this! I might have to download this one!
Ewww, I think I'd repressed the memory of Megan's voice, but there she is ...
I haven't seen Fergie with dark hair. I think she can do either look! I definitely like this song! (and it's not even country!)
Did they just censor an AI performance???!? I think that's a first!
Now for more Golden Idols! "Best Attitude" Oh, goodness ... it's Bikini Girl, with her "girls"!!!
Oh, that's hilarious! Kara DID outsing Bikini Girl! Yeah, Bikini Girl, keep smiling like a good beauty contestant, even when you know you're losing! I can't believe Kara flashed us, but I can believe she did it for a charity!
Next up - Allison with Cyndi Lauper. Oh, that's funny. Allison's hair is closer to what I still remember Cyndi's as!
A little check-in with the 'rents, and now Danny Gokey, and Lionel Richie! Great performance! Danny should tour with Lionel! ha!
Okay, 45 minutes to go, and we're finally talking about our finalists a little!
Adam's cage shoulder pads are scaring me a little.... love the song, "Beth" though - fitting entrance for KISS though!!!!!
I'm hoping that after the stage tried to fall apart earlier this season, they reinforced it in preparation for this performance! That's alot of craziness/pyrotechnics! Is it bad that I think Adam's wearing as much makeup as the members of KISS, just more natural colors?
This is a great choice for Adam's duet!
Next up, Carlos Santana with the Idol guys! Okay, and girls!
Yeah! David Cook surprised them! Of course, the final two always get the Fords, but at least they didn't know it was happening right then!
Okay, speaking of being taken by surprise ... next up, Steve Martin with Michael Sarver and Megan Joy ... and his BANJO!?!?
Who would have thought - it took the entire season before Megan FINALLY sang a song that didn't kill my ears! I think she's found her niche!
Another group sing and it's Rod Stewart! Unlike Lionel Richie, Rod has definitely aged!! I used to listen to "Maggie" on 8-track in my mom's Corvette.... she still has them both - the car and the 8-track!
More Golden Idols ... time for the girls! Of course, it's Tatiana! She just NEVER goes away... no matter how hard they try to boot her off the stage!
Another duet with Kris and Adam ... and Queen!! Oh, the boys are having a great time with this one!!! I love it!!!!! They ARE the champions! (okay, how cheesy am *I* now?)
Okay, can it FINALLY be time?
That was VERY nice of Simon to say! I actually believe that he meant it!
Yes, the almost-100 million votes was a world record...
Oh, I'm nervous!
It's .... KRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really don't think it's hit him yet! I guess my text votes DID make a difference!!
I even hear fireworks! Either they're really overdoing it in Hollywood, or someone in my neighborhood is starting the holiday weekend early - I'm pretending they're for Kris!
It's been a great season - thanks for everyone who commented and/or read my blog!!

Hi guys. I'm kinda here. Getting the kiddos ready for bed then I'll be all yours!!! :)
FYI - we're not really watching. I think we're just going to watch the end and skip all the fluff stuff. :(
I'll still be checking in on the blog though!
Hi Anne, Karen, Chuck, lil girls, and Baby Boy Gillmore!
:-)
Wow - those girls singing Glamorous were not good. Just goes to show America made the right choice when they voted them off.
aww. I'm kinda excited about all the fluff stuff. lol
;)
Those are some crazy outfits on the Black Eyed Peas dancers!
LOL...I know, Anne, it's just that it's TWO hours of fluff before we get to the REAL moment we've all been waiting for!
LAUGHING MY HINEY OFF at them making fun of Randy's "for me for you"
lol
hahahah
This is hilarious. Making fun of all the judges! LOVE IT!
Katrina is hurting my ears!!!
LOL - Go Kara! You show that tramp who's boss!
is it mean of me to say that the birds on my front porch are being too noisy for me to hear Idol?? I'm supposed to enjoy birds chirping, right? lol
I love David Cook. He's great! :)
Did they happen to mention what David Cook has been dealing with that's "emotional"? I didn't catch what happened. Did he lose someone to Cancer?
Anne, his brother just passed away from cancer in the past few weeks. His brother was on Idol a few times last year in the audience, and he was suffering from it even then. :(
I think it's fairly rude of the birds to be interrupting your AI viewing, Anne! THey can sing every day - we had to wait a long time for this night!
Anne - his brother was actually living in Terre Haute, I believe. The community raised a bunch of money to send him to Hollywood to see David perform!
Is it just me, or does it seem like there are more birds than normal this year? Or maybe they're just louder than normal?
I think you're both crazy!
(Okay, that was John Reep in the Arby's commercial, not quite the Hardee's Food Porn, but he's the "That thing got a Hemi?" guy! I met him at Crackers and he signed my pic, "Wendy's got a Hemi!")
Wasn't his brother actually one of the contestants on idol? am I thinking of someone else? I thought David Cook and his brother both auditioned and then David made it through and his bro didn't.
That's so sad! I didn't know anything about it.
Karen. I think there ARE more birds.
My front porch is like the perfect haven for them. they just can't resist. I hate em! lol
OMG - what the heck is Adam wearing?!
Oh...now his outfit makes sense.
Anne - I think Jason Castro's brother auditioned this year, but didn't make it (obviously). I can't remember if there was another brother duo.
Yeah...I know Jason Castro's bro auditioned this year but I'm pretty sure David Cook's brother auditioned WITH HIM last year....David made it through and his brother didn't. Unless he has more than one brother......
I can NOT believe Kara just FLASHED everyone hahahahahahhahahahha!
Hmmm, Kris' brother auditioned and made it through several rounds ... I'm still looking into David's or other's finalists brothers!
Anne - yes, David's younger brother, Andrew auditioned with him. David decided to audition at the last minute. Their older brother, Adam, was the one who passed away.
Wendy...you're my own personal "google" LOL
Thanks babe!
That's so sad about his bro! :(
I think I'm still a little behind you guys. I'm watching Santana perform right now. LOVE him or I'd skip it! lol
Was it just me, or did that whole thing with Tatiana seem staged?
Chris is loving this episode! Queen, Rod Stewart, Black Eyed Peas ... mostly Queen. Took all season, but I finally got him to sit through the whole thing, and even a 2-hour one!
Yeah, I think the Tatiana thing was staged since that's really how she was through the whole audition process, annoying, but persistant.
Anne - I'm a google guru! I can't stand NOT finding something that needs found! They use me like that at work too!
I have to disagree with you Wendy. Megan's voice STILL makes my ears bleed. BLECH.
Watching her perform always reminds me that I have laundry to do.(her washing machine agitator shoulder jiggle thingie)
Anne - FFWD through the fluff and go back to watch it later! We're almost to the end! You need to be live for the final results!!!
YAY! Kris is the winner! Woohoo!
I just want to know...where the heck did Rod Stewart come from? Has he been hiding in an old folks home? He looks like he's going to throw out his hip or something. Poor guy. I Hope they have EMT on standby in case he falls and breaks something. lol
Anne - don't read the blog, don't read the blog! I don't want to ruin it for you!
Oh crap, don't read my comments either, Anne! I forgot you were behind!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
Okay, Gillmores out! It's time for bed. I'll be live blogging SYTYCD, but I may not start until after the auditions. I'll leave a note on my blog, whatever I decide to do. Bye!
LOL! It's ok guys. I knew I was taking a chance by being behind.
I'm SO EXCITED for him!!!
SOOOO awesome! He totally and completely deserves this!!!
Wendy, thanks for blogging. It's been fun.
I WILL be joining you guys for SYTYCD!
Have a fab night gals!!!
Anne - good to meet you through this! I'll probably take little break and watch the SYTYCD auditions at a leisurely pace. I need to be working on studying for my licensing thing.
Have fun watching the rest of the fluff! Chat at you later!!!
