I thought George looked like he had surgery done on his nose. Wonder if he was a little high

did anyone else find it painful to watch David A in the "Risky Business" commercial? He looked so uncomfortable doing that. He's probably never even seen the movie and was embarrassed to be in his undies.

I LOVED David Cook's version!!

Did anyone get the impression that Jason looked lost on his solo. He did a good job, but with everyone else singing with someone famous, he gave me the impression of "Oh? I have to sing both parts?"

OMG Goddess, I just came here to say I think George Michael is morphing into Gianni Versace!!!

I said that during the show last night...

Great minds...

George Michael said he had a cold...but agree that he looked old and kind of seedy...hopefully he will spiff himself up before he tours.

Love David Cook. Thought he handled himself with great humility and class. Loved that he included the top 12 with him in his finale. It definitely seems that this group all got along well together.

All in all a good week in reality television world at my house.

Oh, if you go to youtube (don't know how to post) you can see the entire finale from the point where the judges made their comments to the time credits roll...go to David Cook wins finale all or something like that. I just rewatched (I had set my tivo to record the news show following AI because it always runs over) and it was just as good the second time as the first. I even like that darned song!

My TiVo captured Ryan saying ..and the winner is David....(then a frozen picture with Ryan's mouth wide open)! I then logged on here to find out which David won. I'll have to look up the YouTube, thanks!

I did see the Pips and was thoroughly entertained!

I also saw the Guitar Hero commericals and saw that David C. (in whitie-tighties) did a great job. And that David A. (in white boxers) didn't do such a good job with the commercial...poor kiddo.

I was so afraid that David Cook had blown it Tuesday night. He did not perform as well as he usually does and David A. did really well.

But as I said before, I thought he would have enough "credit" built up with the fans to overcome a single not go great night. And he sounded great last night. I am very glad he won.

Could have been happy with David A. also, but I think this is the best ending possible. David A. has a lot of time still to succeed. And he will be successful. He is too good a singer not to.

And say what we will about his Dad, at least he is in there looking out for him. He may not be as bad as people make it sound. It is just no one seems to like a stage parent.

You could tell that David C has done the "risky business" bit before.

I thought that too Escapee!

And then I thought, David A. has never seen Risky Business.

I thought David C did it well.

I wonder if David A would have had a better showing (vote-wise) if all the stories about his Dad had not been revealed?

I thought it was a pretty good finale! I still think Syesha should have been the idol though! I thought she was better than everyone last night!

I didn't see the early ep of the Final 12, but last night there was one guy (one of the F12) who could really dance!

ITA with Maris about this being better for David A, not winning. I hope he finishes high school and goes away to live at college. He can still have a recording career while at college. I would have been happy with either David winning. But I think it's better for both Davids that it turned out this way.

I also thought he looked a lot like his grandfather!

I loved seeing ZZ Top play with David C! Syesha with Donna Summer was awesome! Donna Summer looks like she hasn't aged at all! wow!

I missed seeing Robert Downey Jr. etc. I'm going to have to find that somewhere on the www. As soon as the Jonas Bros came one, I asked who they were. My 14 yr. old told me and I said, time to do the dishes! My family laughed. But I guess I missed some good tv after they were done. Oh well.

I wonder what people think of GM's song. I was watching and listening but was so distracted by the upcoming results that I didn't pay attention to the lyrics. I wonder if it was a deep meaningful song with wonderful lyrics.

Several dancers from last season's So You Think You Can Dance, were dancing on the show last night. Wonder if it was one of them, Happymom, that you saw.

I saw them! I was so excited! I was distracted by them too, trying to see some of my favs. from last season SYTYCDance! (I LOVE that show!) But no, it was an idol singer. I just looked at the tiny pics on the board, it must have been David. H.

I think I really noticed him because he and Syesha were the only ones that didn't seem somewhat robotic with the choreographed dance numbers (if you can call it dance, all the walking around stage while singing) that the idols do.

By the way, I thought the idol guys all dressed in black really looked sharp! I wish David C could have kept his top shirt button closed though!

In regards to the George Michael song... We thought it but the brakes on what was supposed to be an uplifting show. The song made you wanna take a bath with a toaster.

On the bright side Carrie Underwood was phenomenal!! We thought she made this seasons Idols look like amateurs! She's come a long way from the farm girl she was in her season to the smokin' hot star she is now!!

Carrie was great! However, was anyone really watching her face or were most people watching to see if her jacket was going to give up the lady goods? I don't think she was wearing shorts under that thing.

I wondered that about Carrie's dress too. If she didn't have on some kind of "tights" then she certainly had the right kind of glue applied to keep that jacket in place (by the way, if you watch the utube of the DWTS final 3 appearance on GMA (well, okay, final 6 if you count the pros) you would wonder the same thing about Edyta's dress - it barely covered the girlie parts)!

I FF'd through George Michael's song. It was too long and too dreary and I didn't want to wathc him that long.

I don't think that people voted against David A based on his father...or if they did it was probably equaled by the number of people who voted for him in sympathy.

Anybody else having a David Cook morning -- I've been listening to all of his best clips on youtube and have thoroughly enjoyed myself, especially since he wasn't one of my favorites the first couple of weeks so I didn't pay him that much attention. I really like him. He comes across as such a nice, likeable guy and genuinely seemed surprised and pleased at his win.
