The finale is over and the winner has been announced. I won't go into much about the show itself. Mostly it was two hours of filler, meant more for the live audience than for TV viewers. I did like the performance of all the Idol winners (minus David Cook! wonder where he was) and then a bunch of finalists from other seasons. I recognized some of my non-winning favorites.
The tributes to Simon as he leaves the show were sometimes nice, sometimes a bit sleazy or just plain stupid. Me, I am going to miss Simon. I agreed with him 95% of the time, I think, even though I wanted to give him lessons on how to be truthful in a kind way. (And yet, if I had to listen to many of those bad auditions, I might have started sounding just like him!)
And finally, after two hours of waiting, the results were in. And the winner of Idol 9 is …
Lee DeWyze
Well, I can't say I was surprised, but I am disappointed. I think it should have been Crystal. But that's okay. She will go on to record and sell a ton of records.
