Actually, as I type this out, the whole of America and a good part of the rest of the world would already know who the new AI winner is.... but I'm not American and I like to be kept in suspense, so I diligently steered clear of all websites that smelled of American Idol headlines, shushed all my colleagues who had already 'cheated' and read the news online, and got annoyed with a friend on Gtalk who supposedly revealed the winner on his Gtalk status... but since he's not a reliable source, I technically still don't know who won... and right now I'm enjoying the finale and loving it!!...well, most of it anyway. Here's my short take on this year's finale.
- Show starts off with the compulsory Judges-Fun-Poking Session. I'm wondering why they didn't make fun of Paula's tendency to sound like a broken record player.
- Moves on to the compulsory performance by all 13 finalists, singing 'Rock Star' from Pink. Boring zoring. And few more performances from them later on with some famous singers like Jason Mraz, Queen Latifah, Rod Stewart (???) and Santana (whoop!). Yadda yadda yadda.
- Outstanding Male Performance went to none other than Normon Gentle! Not really a surprise but I'm glad he won it. Plus the whole pretending not-to-know-what's-going-on act before ripping off his clothes to reveal his Normon Gentle outfit and break out into song was lame but funny. Still love him!
- The Best Attitude award (or something like that) went to that annoying Bikini girl, wearing another teeny bikini in which her boobs are threatening to pop out. Was laughing my head off when she started singing and people in the audience were audibly booing her down. Was laughing even more when Kara Diguardi popped up halfway through the song and totally upstaged her by singing MUCH better. And then Kara rips her dress open to reveal her underwear and upstage Ms. Bikini even more! And Ms. Bikini girl stood there looking all huffed about Kara stealing her thunder. LOL. I have newfound respect for Kara Diguardi (whom I think is the better female judge *whistles*).
- What the heck is that Adam is wearing??? Oh, he's performing with Kiss. I guess they were trying to make Adam look relatively normal.
- Oh dear. They gave Tatiana Del Toro the Outstanding Female Performance award. And she sang that song again for the fourth time. Thank God the producers were smart and gave her all of 2 seconds of stage time. *Whew!*
- Adam Lambert and Kris Allen rocked it out with Queen (or rather, the part of Queen who are still alive), and the Adam so freakingly reminds me of the late lead singer. Would've been REALLY cool if Adam announced "Ladies and gentlemen.... Freddy Mercury!!". Now THAT would made a historic show.
- The winner's being announced! The winner of American Idol 2009 is.......
ooooohhhh *sh*T*!!!!!
Kris Allen won???
Holy cow, I'm shocked. It sounds like the audience is in shock. What a shocker. Kris What's-his-name came out of nowhere and stole the crown out from under Lambert and Gokey who were expected to be in the finals! Wowowowow. What a fascinating finale
But it's all good coz' I don't have to listen to Adam sing that corny Idol winner's song. Rock on Adam!!!
