					<description>The best performance of the night!  Just loved it.  Blake really transformed AI.  The way they did the craptastic song this year was because of what happened to him last year with TIMN.  I also think he paved the road for more diverse artists such as Cook, Jason and Brooke.  Wish he could have beatboxed and rearranged TIMN!  Oh well.  Voted 4 full hours for Cookie last night.

*fangirliness - adored Blake's little red outfit in that number*</description>

					<description>I think that had got to be the bestest performance of any AI finale. I mean I never watched a finale before that but I can assume that was the HOTTEST thing ever to cross the Idol stage.</description>

					<description>That is one of my all time favorite performances! I have watched other finales &#38; that was definitely the most entertaining performance I ever saw. I voted for Cook last night too. Not 4 hrs. but he got a lot of votes from me. I would love to see him win. I do feel that Blake paved the way for a lot of changes to AI. He's the first contestant that really brought something different to the stage. I guess Daughtry did too. I have only passed on one cd so far and the receiver said she loved it and played it for her friends while in the car. Don't know if she's bought another or not yet but did say she loved it! I'm giving my second one to a very deserving soul tonight and I think she'll really love it!</description>

					<description>I hope that they talk to B and he can pimp his album on the red carpet some.  That would be great advertising!  I would assume more people will see that then the AI performance or the AI extra performance together.  

And that performance,  wow.   I'm so glad he had the opportunity to peform with Doug E.   From his comments since, he really enjoyed it and so did all of us! 

Hope he has a great time tonight.</description>

					<description>Wow, I didn't think David A or Ryan sounded that great on Apologize.  Ryan hit the end, but the beginning and middle wasn't so good to me...dawg...sorry had to add that.  

Loved seeing B in the audience singing J-Speezy's words with her.  What love is that?

I missed the tatto thing?  Was that toward the end?  We missed the ending cause we DVR'd (is that a verb)it and they ran over.  Duh, forgot to adjust the end time.  No biggie though, cause there's youtube in the hour and I'm not emotionally involved in this year's crop.

Gratz to Cookies on the board and my condolencenses (have no idea how to spell that this late at night) to the Archies here.</description>

					<description>It said "COOK" on Blake's knuckles in sharpie marker... LOL. Not a tat, for sure! I thought it was cute! 

Blake looked GREAT. I wish he could have done an interview on Idol Tonight but ehh. It seems like he arrived pretty late. :( 

And I was really, really upset at the OneRepublic / Archuleta thing. I'm a huge 1R fan and that song should be left alone. To me, that didn't fit at all... not cool. Oh well... *sigh*

Good finale though. The right man won! :)</description>

					<description>The "tattoo" writing on his knuckles said COOK. heh.

Also, I really loved the 1R song with babyDavid. :-) He needs more of that, I think. Cook's been a good influence on him, so the Tour should help him come out of his shell a bit.

The whole Finale was made of awesome, IMO. Loved it. I didn;t really care who won, but it;s nice to be able to like them all and enjoy them all. Cook sang his heart out tonite, and honestly--it gives me shivers. 
It was good to see the Top12 again.</description>

					<description>I voted for David C last night and saw on the web this morning that they were forcasting his win.  Couldn't believe it after the judges rants last night.  I am extremely happy for David Cook...Sorry Dani.

I'll have to check out the Jordin performance to see B.  It just 9:15 here and we are only part way thru.... 

Hurray for Idol.

					<description>Loved the whole finale.  Voted 4 hours straight for Cookie.  I absolutely loved the ZZ top number.  That is one of my all time favorite songs!  It was hot!  And I took a double take at the Risky Business commercial LOL.  I was like, wait, that looks like Cookie!  But I thought no it can't be....it is a Guitar Hero commercial.  I wasn't absolutely sure until they showed Baby D also later.  That was hysterical.  Loved it! 

I sobbed at the end when Cookie won.  He was so gracious to David A.  He will make a great American Idol.   I actually really liked the coronation song "Time of your life"

Loved seeing Blake.  I will have to go back and rewatch the knuckle thing.  I didn't notice anything written until I read about it here.  He's always full of surprises!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Loved the whole finale.  Voted 4 hours straight for Cookie.  I absolutely loved the ZZ top number.  That is one of my all time favorite songs!  It was hot!  And I took a double take at the Risky Business commercial LOL.  I was like, wait, that looks like Cookie!  But I thought no it can&#8217;t be&#8230;.it is a Guitar Hero commercial.  I wasn&#8217;t absolutely sure until they showed Baby D also later.  That was hysterical.  Loved it! </p>

					<description>Aww, Blake singing along to Jordin's song was sweet. :)

Here's a &lt;a href="http://www.americanidol.com/photos/?set=720&#38;seq=12" rel="nofollow"&gt;picture&lt;/a&gt; of B on the AI red carpet. I am in love with his hair like that, he looks amazing!

					<description>*crying* I'm really sad... I'm not sad bout Cook winning he was my second fave but I really really really wanted my favce to win for once..... &lt;strong&gt;Big D&lt;/strong&gt; it's ok.. my 13 year old heart just got crushed for the 3rd time... and my oldest brother jsut laughed at me and my pain when David A lost.. it's ok... I'm used to things never going my way and always being broken hearted. *wipes eyes* I guess my over 400 votes just didn't matter.... and now I'm up all night crying and can't sleep... 


THanks for the pic It cheered me up some!!! Even if Blake doesn't like Archie not everyone agrees all the time... I still LOve Blake!!! :)

					<description>OMG, how cute was Blake singing along to Jordin's song like that?  Love it.  IMO, this was the best AI finale ever.  Really entertaining, and they focused on the contestants not 50 billion guest stars.  Cookie is my favorite winner since Kelly, and I'm thrilled for him.  Archie may not be my thing but he's a class act. 

Thanks for the pics!  I love how Carrie is looking all serious, while Blake's in the background with his crazy faces. lol</description>

					<description>OOoo-- Thanks for yummy linkage! :-) Love the CarrieU ones too, being silly. heh. I hope that IdolTonite has some footage with Blake today. Brandon said he talked to him, so maybe that will be some of the footage they show. I watched and waited yesterday, for them to talk to him, and they never did. :-/ I don;t want our Boy to miss out on his 5min at those things, you know??

I am happy for Cook, and really proud of him and the way it's worked out. He seems to have bloomed since being on Idol, and I hope he can keep up the momentum. If he doesn;t lapse back into his heavy guitar ways, there is a serious future. He SO nailed the Nickleback, last night...</description>

					<description>Thanks girls, for the knuckles and red carpet posts! The finale was great, but doesn't compare to last year with Blake and Doug E. The highlight of the evening for me was seeing Blake in the audience singing along with Jordin. Idol will never be what it was with Blake. SUCH a performer and showman, he is. No one will ever affect me like he did....just incredible and so stinkin' cute!</description>

					<description>I'm so happy for Cook. The ZZ Top performance was my favorite of the night. I thought Archie did ok with One Republic but I looove Ryan Tedder. It was great seeing Blake in the audience. Bet he had fun with his AI buddies and Ryan too!</description>

					<description>that was really nice of Blake to show that kind of support of Cook. 
I am glad that Cook won, again if Archie won I wonder what type of snooze fest he would present as an album. I think he is a sweet and amazing singer, I just don't really see him as Mainstream. I think he would be popular but not Top 40 he is more easy listening. 
I didn't watch the finally in its entirety so I had to youtube the Jordin Sparks performance to see what you all were talking about. And HOW CUTE! 
When they announced the winner and they panned out to the families, was it me or did Jeff A. mouth "it was rigged"?

I agree to whomever said before that AI really changed alot of its rules because of Blake. David Cook is really an example of that. He might be less unique than Blake is, but he is still different and so very talented and creative. How ever Blake does in the music industry, you can say that he revolutionize American Idol and has introduced (or reminded) so many different kinds of music and genres to people.</description>

					<description>I'm catching up on stuff, and in  case y'all haven't read &lt;a href="http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20007164_20171835_20201684_4,00.html" target=_blank rel="nofollow"&gt;Michael Slezak's recap of the finale&lt;/a&gt; (omg if you haven't, you should -- he's hilarious, and always spot on with his commentary!) check this out:

&lt;blockquote&gt;That said, Jordin looked adorable (as usual), and seeing season 6 runner-up Blake Lewis mouthing the words to his one-time rival's song gives me one more reason to plug his sadly underappreciated album Audio Day Dream.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Love, love, love Michael. :)</description>

					<description>guys im so proud fo jordin for being able to go out there and sing with a HUGE smile on her face(like always). Because if some of you didnt know,( you already know this if you have her as a myspace friend probably ) her moms friend, Wendy, passed away on the same day of the finale... which is why her hair was orange, to raise awareness for her :( ♥</description>

					<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;guys im so proud fo jordin for being able to go out there and sing with a HUGE smile on her face(like always).&lt;/blockquote&gt;

That is one reason I found it impossible NOT to like her. She is really truly like that, a giver in personality, and she wants to make people feel good when she performs. Every time, she's glad to be there. It struck me Finale night, just how perfect an "Idol" she is for the industry. Standing there at Disney? A million hearts soared and smiled at her.

I noticed she wore an orange band, and had her nails orange. I didn;t know it was for her Mom's friend, but it is touching that she did that. For every time a celeb takes the time to share the Awareness for Cancer and stuff, it bring a better push. We join our will, to theirs. 

I was proud of Blake in being caught singing along with Jordin, because it shows, he really loves her. He's involved in her life, and it earnestly showed. For the record, I'd love to hear him sing ANY of Jordin's songs, but that's a different kettle of fish altogether! :-)</description>

Dani - I hear that is just a rumor being circulated by Daddy Dearest about Archie getting more money than David C.  There is just no way the runner-up would get more money than the winner.  It makes the finale a joke, if it is true.  I can tell you right now, if it is true, I won't bother voting again. No offense to David A. intended.</description>

					<description>Hi Kilroy--
There were things not seen before, like from the audition, him talking to Seacrest, some chatter Hollywood week. I liked the extras, even if it was familiar from things I've seen before. Nothing mind-blowing different, no. Nothing like PWARS to push one over the edge to buy it.
 
What was different and fun, and totally in line with what we know about him, was they showed him during rehearsal on stage doing some beatboxxing like he does. People were like, Oh Wow! Fun seeing it and the people reactions.</description>

					<description>Hi girls! I know I've been around for a while but I wanted to get all the finale stuff behind me.  LOL I am so honestly relieved at the outcome of this year's finale.  In fact, I'm still somewhat in shock.  It all just seems like a dream right now.  

Yes, I voted the entire 4 hours for Cookie because I could see the bus being rolled over him with the comments he got on Tuesday but in my heart I knew if something like that hadn't happened, I don't know how seriously the fans would have took all of this.  I was so stunned at the 12 million vote difference to be honest because Archie did a splendid job on Tuesday.  It was one of his best nights in a long time.  I've been really touched at seeing the brotherly relationship that Cookie has with Archie.  Archie is a very sweet kid and I hope only the best for his future.  

Yes, I loved the ZZ Top performance.  That was the highlight of the night for me other than Cookie winning.  :D  I agree with you Crystal about the money thing.  A lot of the fans have bought into that as it being true.  I don't believe it either. 

Last year's finale brings back a lot of good memories with that performance of Blake with Dough E. Fresh.  :)</description>

					<description>I wouldn't be surprised at all if Archuleta already has his record contract already set. I fact, I heard rumors that Idol had already picked out song writers for him months ago well before he ever had a chance to win Idol in the first place. What does that mean? If this information is true, he was a major PLANT and they would have signed him all along. That makes me even happier that Cookie won after all!

Oh, I am THRILLED that Cook won too. ;) Only the second time in seven seasons that my top favorite has ever won, and the last time was all the way back in Season 1 with Kelly! So it was a long damn time to wait!

					<description>Better late than never to put in my two cents worth on the Idol finale:
WOOT!!! DAVID COOK OUR AMERICAN IDOL!!!!!!
Like Pam, I voted the entire 4 hours (got in just under 3000 votes) despite having a housefull of company I hadn't seen in quite a few years. They all thought I was obsessed. I just informed them I wasn't obsessed, rather I was determined to finally have my favorite become the next American Idol. No way was I not going to dial and text the whole 4 hours. I'm still in shock and awe, but starting to finally calm down a bit. David has been my favorite from the start along with Michael Johns and I'm just so happy that both of them are finally going to get the recognition they both deserve. This season has been a joy, but I still miss season 6.</description>

You did much better than me.  LOL  I had the cell in one ear and the cordless in the other and managed to get in just over 1000 votes in 4 hours.  My mother's fave was Michael Johns too.  I thought he was fantastic.  I hated he got voted off so early.  I still miss season 6 too.</description>
