Not an hour but maybe an hour & a half :)

I thought it was a horrendous finale. The Am Idols were fine. It was the guests that were awful. I thought it was creepy when Kat sang with Meatloaf. Ewww. I can't remember who Taylor sang with, but where was she putting his hand?! It looked like there was some sort of 'malfunction' going on there. Why did they even bother having Elliott sing when Mary J Blige completely upstaged him anyway. And, WTH???...Bert Bacharact songs????? They couldn't come up with anything from...oh, the last two or three decades. I half expected Lawerence Welk to come out and direct. At least they didn't make Kat sing her first single to be released.

I didn't hate all of it.
Kelly Pickler was cute with Puck.

Sorry Mary,
I thought it was a great finale,
Enjoyed all the singing from everyone.
That gal (can't think of her name) put Taylor's arm around her waist.
I'm glad Taylor won .. the best entertainer was chosen.
Kat will now go far & do many wonderful things for her career.
Can't wait for her first CD :)

That was Toni Braxton singing with Taylor! She looked like she was either drunk or strung out on something, her eyes were glazed over & could not focus & was trying to dance, but legs would not do anything- she was sad!

Also, what was with Meatloaf-- he was horrible--not a good duo! Along with Mary J Blige & Elliott, an horrendous job as far as pairing up the so called "stars" with the AI singers. Also, Prince I thought did a lousy job too !! Can ya tell I was not impressed with the finale. I do enjoy listening to Kat sing"Black horse---cherry tree" Iy is such a catchy tune & she sing that very well ! She will do well, she has the stage presence, & looks & voice, & she is very self-assured! Yes, Taylor is quite the entertainer , and a punky voice-- I love "his" last song-- Do I make you proud- I went to bed humming that song !

Bunny,
You and I were definitely watching the same show because those were exactly my thoughts about the 'star' pairings.

I enjoyed most of the show...I agree, it could have been maybe an hour and a 1/2 instead of 2, but I had it on Tivo, so I was able to fast forward through parts I didn't want to watch...hee-hee :)


I really liked all of the AI finalists singing...I think they all sing nicely together.

I thought the Meatloaf/K thing was pretty weird. She didn't CHOOSE him to sing with, did she??! I, too, thought Mary Blige (and I don't know who she IS) upstaged Elliott. I would have liked to see more of him. That was the first time I ever saw Toni Braxton. Man, she was WEIRD! And all that posing & gyrating, considering the song they were singing! I hadn't thought of chemicals. Maybe that was it. After talking to folks at work, I see I'm in the vast minority in liking some of those "awards." I thought some of them were funny. Not Rhonetta, or the crazy spastic guy... I enjoyed the cowboys. I hate Taylor's original song, & think he sounds bad on it. I agree completely about Burt Bacharach. Good grief! He was big when those kids' parents & grandparents were teenagers. But as an *old* person, I enjoyed seeing Dionne Warwick. So many people, including the Idols, must have been saying "Who??" And Prince is TOO weird! Sheesh. And what happened to Clay's hair?! I heard this AM that he's had cheek & chin implants. Did anybody notice that? I couldn't get past his hair. That kid who sang w/him was just beside himself, wasn't he? LOL. Reminded me of the year there was the kid who was obsessed w/David Hasselhoff, & they brought Hasselhoff out to meet him. LOL.

I remember either last year or the year before, being pleasantly surprised by the finale. This year, not so much.

Ohhh- I forgot about that little fellow-- he was shaking all over-- poor thing he was so geeky! But, I'm sure a memory that he will NEVER forget ! I thought when Chris sang with group Live--- that was awesome, wow did'nt they look like twins !! kinda funny ! I still can't get over Toni Braxton w/Taylor- wow, she was out of it! Meatloaf should have just stayed home! I did enjoy when all the female idols sang together, then all the male idols, that was good !

Hmm- i agree, what will we talk about & give our critic on now !! lol!!

Do agree the pairs were not the best,
Toni Braxton couldn't sing either ..
Many showed their age is what I though ::sigh::
However the AI singers shined through making it well worth it, LOL
Clay sure did look different .. oh my ::gasp::
The cowboy trio was a fun one :)
