Kind of like last year and the difference between Kris and Adam. But then, "ain't that America." Earlier this evening, I told Rand I thought Lee would win; the "America" who watches AI will vote for a paint salesman...or a married guy from Arkansas...before they will vote for an unmarried mother or a flashy guy who wears nail polish and eye makeup, regardless of the talent and ability to sing. And when it was time for the grand announcement, I said "Lee" one second before Ryan did.
Even after Crystal outsang and outperformed Lee by a mile last night...and tonight.
So, I predict that Crystal--now in the eye of whoever it is that decides to record someone--will do well for herself. She certainly has the stage presence--even tonight--and I think her talent has never been in question.
Frankly, I miss Simon already.

Adam should have won last year and Crystal this year! But I ended up kinda liking Lee, too, though he definitely did not have the voice Crystal has. I told Rich Lee should not have attempted a Bono/U2 song...the climb is too steep. No one can sing a Bono song like Bono, let's face it. :) Crystal will do great, though, and sometimes I think being the winner is more of a burden than being second.
And can I just say that I thought the Alice Cooper group number of "School's Out" was really lame and I can't believe Alice actually came out and participated? Before he showed up, I said, "Wow, Alice would not be impressed with what they are doing with his song." Shows you what I know.
Okay, I have never written this much about American Idol in my life. LOL I wouldn't even watch it when I lived in Texas. What has become of me?? :)
I must admit, I was kind of shocked to see this big long comment. :) Yes, it is actually best NOT to win apparently. And I thought all the group numbers were pretty lame...kind of like the show has gotten. The best part of it this year was Ellen; she is funny.
