this was one of yer finest recaps ever, lover.

ham destroyed my eardrums after week three, so i've just been watching the faces and feeling very violated.

i'm casting my non-phoned in vote for krispy.

OK first off, vampires aren't orange, and second, I love the image of Randy sitting at home watching Twilight in his thong with four cartons of chubby hubby, crying his eyes out and muttering "dawg. Dawg."
That had me laughing my arse off! I wouldn't buy a CD by either of these guys. What was uo with Paula's fugly lime green satin cap sleeved hot mess of a shirt? WOW! Thanks, you make AI bearable.

I have to agree with soapboxx that the chubby hubby comment was just plain hysterical.

I'm watching the finale (2 effing hours of filler!!! GAH!) now, and Queen Latifah looks fantastic. It's amazing what Jenny Craig and 4 girdles can do!

I'm pretend voting for Ham, I think it's time America be forced to embrace the gaymosexual. Awesome job, Flipit, and thanks for letting so many of us be a part of it this season.

love you madly,
xoxox

J-Mo :)

Wow, Flip it!

The song is about thinking about giving up cuz you're too old and tired to live your dreams and then your wife dies and it's just so sad and depressing, but then you find that changing your hair and glasses every day can make other people smile and point at you and you think maybe I won't just be a pasty chunky lesbian with glued on facial hair singing in a mega church for the rest of my life after all!

I was thinking the same thing!!! In fact, I am still surprised they didn't get their wish, and VFTW was supporting CL, eventho Krispy was clearly not chosen for such glory . . .

Anyhoo, too funny throughout. It almost makes me feel sorry for Skara, coz here was her chance to legitimize her place here, and give them a good "choice" of a song, and you know, it didn't have to be a coronation song, here was their chance to break that corny awful tradition and shove all the magic rainbows up everybody's butt and just do something new and wild!!

Oh well, I guess I hope Adam wins, but I heard they are both getting signed, and "maybe more" whew for Allison!!!

Enjoy the show, all!!!

Oh, and I agree with Soapboxx too--hyfuckingsterical!!!!

Oh Flip, I'm gonna miss ya! Awesome recap, as usual, thanks for making me laugh out loud!

I honestly don't know who is going to take it - I thought Adam was guaranteed the win, but Kris has been picking up steam. Not to mention he'll likely get the votes from Danny's fans.

Who knows? I thought it was a good final two. I'm pulling for Adam, but I'd buy both of their cds. Plus Allison's.

I'm watching the finale results show right now (although the winner has not yet been revealed) and I have actually really enjoyed it. Best finale in years, I think.

See you next season, all! (Well, after the finale results recap.)

I think all the comments about how America needs to "vote for the gay" is hilarious. It's like Affirmative Action has reached AI.

Really, people...do you think middle America has never before bought an Elton John CD...gone to a Queen concert (back when Freddie Mercury was live)...watched Ellen, either her sitcom or her talk show? Who do you think made Liberace a star decades ago? Grandmothers and mothers from Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin (where he was originally from, and where he created a several Music Scholoarship endowments.) And who do you think made Clay Aiken's run in Spamalot a success? Middle American Tourists who flock to New York every year.

Adam isn't the first gay singer. So if he falls short, don't blame it on that. Place the blame where it belongs...on his screeching, and on the lack of warmth in his voice.

I think that the guy with Adam's parents is his brother. And I also might hate myself for knowing family members of Idol contestants, but what can you do?

Paula and Simon make this show enjoyable for me. Without their hilarious comments, I have no idea what I would do.

And I'd probably buy either of their CDs. Or maybe just Adam's and I'll pirate Kris'. I know, I'm a monster.

thanks for all of the great recaps! maybe you'll handle big brother coming up, or something.

anyway, i thought skara's song was terrible, and i loved how they all just dismissed it - even SKARA!!! lol. great stuff.

dax

Great recap. Thanks for a legendary season of recaps.

I couldn't have picked the winner, either. It was almost like AI was trying to sabatage them both - or at least even up the voting. Scary's song was pretty disappointing, but the middle one wasn't much better. (Conversely, I found the finals to be unexpectantly fun and interesting... Danny and Allison and others got to showcase themselves on the big stage... and Scary showed where her real talent lies.)

"'Things Are Gonna Change'"?? By "Cocker"??? Sam Cooke was already spinning in his grave with that crapfest by Adam.

^^^lol sorry bout that. thanks for correcting me. i didn't mean to inflict more harm than was already inflicted. thanks for reading you guys! i am working on the finale now, and so far it's just three pages of WOW. REALLY? WOW.

Great season...I Totally caught that shot with Scott facing the wrong way.

I disagree in that I really liked Adam's 2nd performance...I think my tv has bad speakers, because i thought it was the best of the season and possibly the best of the series.

Flipit--seriously, the funniest recap I have read on this site after years of dedicated viewing. You caught it all, from Krispy's pecs, to Scott literally posing for an invisible camera to the funniest description EVER, Paula's baskball on fire color. LOL! Just so spot on time and again that I won't bore you with a recap of your recap. Brilliant!

I thought Adam's second performance was EXCELLENT. V. disappointed with the outcome.

Weird. I lost interest in this show right after the Church Lady was booted out.

Neither of the other two inspire the same sort of bemused repulsion.

I just have to add for the record -- Pauler's hair was astonishingly ugly. wtf.
