To start us off, here's a group sing! "So What" by Pink with the Top 13. They are all dressed in white. Pretty average group sing, but it's fun nonetheless.
David Cook is on singing "Permanent". The video of tonight's live performance will be up on iTunes, and proceeds will go to the research against brain cancer. Go buy it, all of you, go buy it! It was such a heartfelt performance, it made me cry.
Switching gear now we are in with the Golden Idol Awards. We are shown a few guys who *quite* didn't make it. Nominees for Outstanding Male are Wil Kunick, Michael Gurr, Elijah Scarlett, Dean-anthony Bradford, Nick Mithcell aka Normun Gentle! and the award goes to... Normun Gentle/Nick Mithcell! And tho he had "not prepared anything" he "strips down" and sings for us!
Now Seacrest wears Nick's glasses and headband. *LOL*
First duet of the night - Lil Rounds and Queen Latifah sing "Cue The Rain". That was not very good, I'm sorry to say.
Anoop starts us up with "I'm Yours" and Alexis joins in. And then Jason Mraz!!!!! Then the rest of the Top 10 joins in for the chorus. Hot mess but fun performance!!!
Kris Allen's journey to the Top 2. And then Kris performs with Keith Urban on "Kiss A Girl". They are sounding awesome! the song is good, catchy, and Kris looks comfortable and professional standing next to Keith! Awesome duet. Wonder why Kris never did that song or something like it?
Top 5 girls are singing together "Glamourous"??? and now Fergie comes on stage to sing with the girls "Big Girls Don't Cry". and now the Black Eyed Peas with "Boom boom Pow"!
Golden Idol Awards again - Best Attitude nominees are Katrina Darrell, Bikini Girl!, Alexis Cohen aka Finger Girl, Tiffany Shedd. And the Golden Idol goes to, Bikini Girl, of course... And she's wearing a bikini, of course, showing off her new boob job, that Ryan noticed... And she goes out and sing for us all... And of course she's completely flat. And she's joined on stage by Kara DioGuardi! Kara actually is completely upstaging Bikini Girl, and it's funny as hell! Kara actually has a decent voice... And after the long glory note, she rips open her dress, and she's wearing a bikini!!!
Cindy Lauper is up on stage singing "Time After Time" with Allison Iraheta. They are sounding good!
Danny Gokey is now singing "Hello". It's all wrong! It's David Cook's song! And now Lionel Richie is coming on stage singing ??? with Danny. Danny did a good job, but I can't help it, this song has forever and ever been transformed into a David Cook song. I can't hear anything else but his version now. Lionel Richie is sounding really good still, and I can't help it - All Night Long is a very cheesy song, but it makes me smile, sing and dance!
Adam's journey is now presented to us. And now Adam is singing Detroit Rock City and I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night with KISS! And WTF is that he's wearing??? *ROTFLMAO* Adam is also wearing big KISS boots, but they are gold... Interesting. I have to admit, this was entertaining!
Carlo Santana is now up on stage... playing Black Magic Woman. Damn he's good. and he's joined on stage by Matt Giraud on vocals. Now the Top 13 joins in and they sing "Smooth". That was really good!
Ford Video to the tune of "I Will Remember You"
David Cook presents Adam and Kris with Ford cars. Cute!
Megan Joy, Michael Sarver and Steve Martin??? Playing a song Martin wrote "Pretty Flowers". Weird...
Top 13 is back on the stage singing some "IF You Think I'm Sexy" Rod Stewart songs, and then the man himself joins in on "Maggie Mae".
Last Golden Idol Awardfor Outstanding Female - nominees are Chelsea Marquat, Irene Angulova, Dana Moreno, Tatiana Nicole Del Toro. And the winner is... Tatiana, of course.... And Ryan tries to play up the "we don't have time" thing... Tatiana sings anyway...
Adam and Kris are dueting on Queen's "We Are The Champions". Bryan May is on guitar!!! Fun.
And here we go with the results.... Simon says they are both talented and nice and that both should be proud and that the future is all theirs... No comitting from Simon... Weird.
And your American Idol Season 8 is...
KRIS ALLEN!!!!!!!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even he didn't think he'd win, I think. He looks so surprised, and he's speechless! And now he sings "No Boundaries". I thought he actually sounded better on that song tonight. But yeah, it's not great. I'd take the Magic Rainbow any day of the week over that. :)
I am very surprised Kris won. But at the same time, I'm not. It's weird... I really expected Adam to win, but knowing most of Gokey's votes would go to Kris, I really shouldn't be surprised. Still... I'm kinda disappointed Adam didn't win, even if I didn't like his style and his voice, as I think he really deserved it. But I'm also happy Kris won - the fact he was a real, true dark horse (no exposure in the auditions) that came from no where to win it all.. I like that. A lot. :) And I like Kris a lot, so I'm happy. And yeah, another one of my fav won. :)
