American Idol has come to another end

and not a moment too soon. I haven't really been able to get into AI this year...mostly for the fact that I couldn't care less about any of the boring ass contestants, and last night I kind of flip flopped back and forth from AI and Lost. Here are my thoughts on AI:
1. What was with all the 50's crooning? I mean...really. Are all the writers/performers dead therefore royalties not as $$$$?
2. Ryan Seacrest mugging down with that big black woman dressed like a Canary was genius. If he wasn't gay before, he is now.
3. Kelly, even with a cold, STILL kicks ass. Simon even admitted she is the best Idol EVER, as he pulled out a wad of benjamins she has made for him and smoked them.
4. Clive Davis fake clapping was not cute, especially considering he wants my Kelly to toss out her entire new album.
5. Presenting a chocolate statue covered in gold wrapping to Carrie Underwood was pointless. Was he trying to push a rusty shiv in Kelly's side for not backing down to him (honestly, I wouldn't want a cheese filled Diane Warren song on my album either), because he shouldn't...considering Kelly has netted him GAZILLIONS. And while Carrie looked the most stunning of all of them, her fake ass acceptance speech made me change the channel immediately to see that Jack & Co. were STILL on the island.
6. Bette Midler needs to seriously work on her voice. Maybe have some hot tea and honey, because if she plans on taking that mess to Vegas...she is going to have some trouble selling tickets. Also, nobody wants to see grandma in a leather skirt.
7. How many D-List celebs did they fill that audience with, and why did they keep showing Jerry Springer?
8. The trio of Melinda, CeCe, and BeBe need to leave that kind of music to Gospel Brunch or Trinity Broadcasting Network.
9. The Beat Box mess needs to come to an end pronto. This is NOT 1987, and much like parachute pants...it ain't coming back...except on 80's night at Elysium...if you are lucky.
10. I made the comment that Simon looks slightly handsome from certain angles and got berated for saying it. I didn't say I would do him...JEEZ.
11. Taylor Hicks...I think this is the first time he sang before a full house sincel last year's AI. I know there wasn't a full house at the Travis County Expo Center when he sang for the rodeo. How do you go from being an American Idol to singing at the rodeo? I mean...the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo is one thing, but the Travis County Fair & Rodeo...NOT EVEN CLOSE.
12. Jordin was crowned queen and I don't think she is going to be a big seller. She hit it on the wrong year. I am going to test a theory that AI finds a hit every three years. Look at the stats (successful in caps), KELLY, ruben, fantasia, CARRIE, taylor, jordin, TBD. I think there will be a big winner next year, and then it should end.
13. Oh Paula. Love what they did to your lips. It looks like you used an iron to puff them up. She was interviewed on Austin Fox 7's "entertainment correspondent" night before last and I think he was kind of at a loss of what he should do because she was either REALLY drunk, REALLY high, or both. She was making growling noises like a dog and showing bruises where she "fell" to avoid crushing her dog, and was a slightly incoherent...much like I get after 5 Absolut Mandarin/Sprites, 1 Patron shot, 2 Bud Lights, 4 sips of water, and 8 ice chips.
14. Did I just waste my time writing this? Yes I did.
Have a blest day ya'll!
