I'm surprised with how disappointed I am right now. I thought I'd be ok no matter the result because I genuinely like both Kris and Adam and have voted for both of them throughout the season. But when Ryan announced the winner, I felt empty. Not to take anything away from Kris -- he's very talented and likable, and I think he can be successful -- but I kind of feel like he won by default. There are a lot of Adam haters out there who just don't like his style, and IMO Kris' votes were probably based as much on anti-Adam sentiment (especially from Danny fans) as on genuine Kris support. In that way I feel kind of bad for him, which is a weird thing to say after he just won the big prize. There's just something about picturing Kris on that backdrop with the likes of Carrie Underwood and David Cook that doesn't sit right with me, and I can't quite put my finger on why. Maybe it's because he's just so... normal? There's nothing remarkable or superstar about him. But maybe that's why people like him so much. Enough about the results -- lets talk about the show itself. I always love the AI finale, even though it's 2 hours of filler. They put together some great entertainment. I really liked Kris singing with Keith Urban, Adam singing with Kiss, Allison singing with Cyndi Lauper, and Adam and Kris' performance with Queen. The Black Eyed Peas were good too, and David Cook *sigh* there are no words. He's still my American Idol. I could do without the "golden Idol awards," but I have to say that the whole bikini girl segment had me cracking up. First Ryan makes the "I'd ask what's new but I think I know" crack, and then Kara sings her under the table AND strips! I was shocked and laughing hysterically. I loathe bikini girl, but she makes for good tv. So another AI season has come to an end. Bittersweet. I wish it could go on forever and ever and ever! |
