Just tell me who won and that&#8217;s it! But no &#8212; FOX has to stretch out the results as long as possible. OF COURSE.<\/p>\n<p>My comments&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; It was good to see LaToya and George perform during the pre-show. I just love them! And as much as I love LaToya&#8217;s voice (she was actually my pick to win this thing), I can see why her critics say she has no personality. She has an amazing voice but she is a bit bland.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Is Jasmine wearing cropped cargo pants and a chain? What a shocker! It&#8217;s like her signature outfit or something. But her poor voice! She pretty much killed the song &#8212; she sounds so exhausted and maxed out, you know? I hope she gets to rest her voice before the tour starts&#8230; for the sake of the people in the audience. Totally random but Jasmine reminds me of my friend Robyn. I noticed it before but it really hit me tonight while I was watching her perform. There&#8217;s just something really similar in the way Jasmine pulls her hair back with her hand that is *so* like Robyn&#8217;s mannerisms. It&#8217;s uncanny, really.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Like Tamyra. Didn&#8217;t like her version of <i>The Star Spangled Banner<\/i>. I think I cringed a few times.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Kelly!!! The only reason why I tuned in to the finale. omgilovehersomuch. Hee! Plus, she shares my name, which makes her that much more awesome in my book. \ud83d\ude00 I loved hearing her sing <i>Impossible Dream<\/i> with Fantasia, Diana and Ruben &#8212; except I wasn&#8217;t crazy about that studded Victoria&#8217;s Secret-like bra she was wearing. Eek. And then she just blew me away when she sang <i>Beautiful Disaster<\/i>. Mmm. That&#8217;s one of my favorite songs on her album. Which is great, by the way. You should all buy it. Or I can upload it if anyone wants it. Just trying to spread the Kelly love.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; The guys in white pants during the Top 12 group sing &#8212; that was not cool. Especially Matt Rogers in white pants. Just&#8230; no. Aside from that, the group number was pure cheesy fun. Huh. I totally forgot about that Leah girl.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; I think Ruben&#8217;s great but that song he sang (I think it&#8217;s called <i>What If<\/i>) was incredibly awful. How he kept a straight face while singing is beyond me. I mean, &#8220;What if I was slim? What if I didn&#8217;t win?&#8221; Did he write that? <\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Still mad at Simon for his comment last night about Fantasia being the best contestant they&#8217;ve ever had in the competition. Kelly all the way! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>It was at this point that I got bored with the finale &#8212; so I&#8217;m just going to get to the winner&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Fantasia won. I knew it.<\/p>\n<p>I was actually rooting for Diana (I even voted for her a few times last night &#8212; I&#8217;m a dork!) but I&#8217;m happy for both of them. But I&#8217;m even happier that this season is over! I still haven&#8217;t loved a season as much as the first or a contestant as much as Kelly so &#8212; here&#8217;s to season 4!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seriously, the American Idol season finale does not need to be 2 hours!
