I think that Crystal is clearly the better singer, but I also like Lee and, as many in the group have pointed out, he seemed to have been annointed by the judges over the past couple of weeks. So, the result isn't a total surprize. Whether it is deserved is always going to be debated.
As past seasons have proved, the winner isn't necessarily going to have the most successful career moving forward.
As for last night's show, I was probably most thrilled by the appearance of Alice Cooper, but enjoyed seeing Hall & Oates and Janet Jackson as well. Janet's choice of song I didn't really find very entertaining (kinda boring), but it was good to see her anyway.
Simon's farewell was very nice, and derserved (in my opinion). He really has been the only voice that really mattered on the judges bench many times. I'll miss him.
I like Ellen as a judge. I think she has a good balance of nice, but honesty. If a performance was clearly bad, she's not going to say nice things just for the hell of it. That is what I disliked about Paula. If the performance sucked, she would often ignore the singing all together and say something like, "I like your determination and you look so nice tonight." Totally worthless stuff.
I personally have no desire to see Paula come back -- unless she loses the nice act and actually tells it like it is (and lays off the booze before the show).
It was a decent, though I don't think the best, season.

Subject: [American_Idol_Extra] What did you think of the American Idol Season Finale and Results?
What did you think of the Season Finale and Results?
The results were extremely close, reportedly with only a 2 per cent win for Lee.
Are you pleased that Lee DeWyze won, or do you think that Crystal Bowersox should have been the winner? Why?
What did you think of Simon Cowell's exit from American Idol?
Carrie Underwood said she is afraid of him.
Should Paula Abdul replace him?
How is Ellen Degeneris doing as a judge?
What did you think of the guest performers? Past Idol winners and contestants?
Hall and Oates? Janet Jackson? The surviving two BeeGees?
