Good Points
1. I loved the presentation of awards to various contestants who didn't make it. I couldn't believe that the "bush baby" guy and his chubby friend actually attended the function and came up for the award. What great sports!!! Did you notice that Simon gave them a standing ovation for their great sportsmanship. The huge lady in yellow was a bit scary and I felt so bad for Ryan Seacrest for that long long kiss.
2. The beatboxing duet by Blake and Doug E. Fresh was great! I really enjoyed it because it brought some life to a show full of slow, old, relatively not-so-popular songs.
3. Loved Kelly Clarkson's performance! She still rocks!
4. The "African Children's Choir" was very sweet. The performance was quite cool considering the age of the performers.
5. Carrie Underwood's version of "Stand by you" was ok. She looked beautiful as usual but I hated what she was wearing. I wish she sang "Before he cheats" though. :(
Bad Points
1. Most of the songs sung were slow oldies! How boring! Even the fast paced ones weren't that great.
2. I hated Bette Midler's version of "Wing beneath my wings". It's beautiful melody was ruined by Midler's abrupt ending of song lyrics.
3. Taylor Hicks has yet to perform a song I know (maybe it's just 'cos I'm not into his kind of music).
Hmmm... no other points that I really hated about it. Hope that next year they get some good and popular songs for the finals! The songs performed this year were either old, or brand new (unknown) releases. Hope that next year one or two songs that are on the charts will be performed!
Oh by the way, Jordin won... ;) I'm sure she'll come up with a great album. So will Blake!

Did you start listening to music recently because I assumed any idiot would know that those were songs by the Beatles and also of John Lennon. It was all part of the album Instant Karma which is also one of Lennon's songs. I sound condescending only because you went on to say they were probably brand new releases. As an ardent fan of Lennon I HAD to come and enlighten you ;)
And just to add in passing, with the exception of Melinda Dolittle, this year has got to be the worst year for Am Idol. Sucked pretty bad and I watched it only out of habit I guess after watching every single season.
hey sach, what i said was "The songs performed this year were either old , or brand new (unknown) releases."
So Beatles and John Lennon obviously fall under the "old" category and not as "brand new releases". I'm not such a big fan of beatles or John Lennon, so I found it boring.
Yep, this season of AI has been pretty boring. But I loved the Rock theme. All songs performed were excellent.
