Bonza, LOL. Bless her heart. I was screaming on the inside. The comments are awful though, people can be so very mean, especially on the internet.

Guess Lee and Crystal will be on Ellen tomorrow.. and I read that she is starting her own record label. She signed a kid she discovered and I guess had on the show.

LOL Sea, I was almost mopping my puter screen from the Jennifer Hudson comment. Least she proves even the great Simon can get it wrong sometimes (but not me LOLOL--well,, this time...pull up the archieves I was a HUGE JH fan!!). We've all heard TONS of names tossed about. His was the 1st that really made sense to me. I agree w/Simon. They need a person who understands the industry in that chair.

And I read that too bout Ellen. She signed that REALLY talented kid Greyson Chance (what a name he has...he was born for the biz!!). Wonder if she is trying to be the "new Simon." I'm not really sure what in her background has prepared her to own a record label though...no offense to her.

I'd really love to see them get someone in the industry to replace Simon. My guess is they are going to do what The View did before Elizabeth and have guest sit in and see how they do. Also to make the transition gradual.

I saw a reporter ask Bret Michaels if he heard the rumor there was talk of him and would he do it. He said he'd love to. I laughed at first but it really is a pretty good idea. We'd lose the snark, but get someone with over 20 years of industry experience. So my 2nd prediction is that we'll see Bret in that chair (health willing...wish the man would slow down just a bit) at least once, if not more, next season.

I should save this post for "I told you so" value LOLOL

OMG Bonza I just watched that video. A few random thoughts. First, sorry I need a moment of quiet reflection in memory of my parents and being lucky enough to have them raise me. Ok now, is there anywhere we can chip in to get that woman a bra? It will probably need to be specially ordered lol. I'm damn broke but I'll find a buck or two for the cause. Anyone else feel guilty when laughing?!! And was that man wearing ANYTHING under that blanket? And last, I just again would like to thank the universe or God or whatever power that gave me MY family. Scary!!!!

PS Bic I tried to stay as nice as possible. It was kinda hard truthfully. That's not a video I'd be rushing to upload of my family. Esp if that was my family lol. Just sayin'.....

I wondered about the man and his blanket too...LOL! He sure was concerned about keeping himself covered!

Kidd Kraddock said this morning that he gets offers for "vanity labels" all the time...they try and get well-known people (if you haven't heard of him Kidd Kraddock in the Morning is a nationally franchised radio show that originates here in Dallas) to promote new artists under a record company of their own name. He said he figured that how Ellen came to have her own record label. She has a great vehicle for promoting new talent.

And thank goodness he did Ro!!! LOL it worried me a bit at one point. I honestly was seeing far more than I wanted to inside that families life, but I couldn't turn away (and ironically I'm the one who has NO problem turning away from car wrecks etc, once I see there's nothing I can do).

And that is interesting about the label. Makes a lot of sense! I do hope she retained more input than just her name though, or it could ultimately hurt her.

That woman was making a fool of herself, but she was doing it in her own home. I think it was very, very cruel of her son to put that on the Internet. Probably as large busted as she is it feels good not to wear a bra.

Roxip, they broadcast Kidd Kraddock here in GA and I listen to them every morning. I was listening the morning he was talking about being offered the "vanity labels" It was interesting.

I like KK but I have to say they have really slammed AI this season and during the week that Casey went home, they were over the top poor sports, especially Kelly Rasberry. I couldn't beleive how she was acting like such a big baby that just lost the championship game.
One morning before the final 3 performances, they spent 10 minutes totally ripping Lee apart. It was really over the top and a huge turnoff for me. And then after Kelly went off like a spoiled brat over Casey going home, I just lost respect for the show.

There has been a lot of reportage slanted in Casey's favor since he left, too true. It didn't help that Lee is such an easy target. To me clearly Crystal should have won, but it doesn't really matter at this point.

Pro-Caseyites overlook his poor song choices, which had a hand in his going out 3rd. Much as I like the guy, he's not the next Jimi Hendrix. Even his guitar playing on the electric sort of bores me, while I love his acoustic stuff. If he was outrageously brilliant in a Jeff Buckley way, it would be different. People tend to overstate things when their favorites get knocked down.

Ditto NY. I really liked Casey, but I felt it was very fair for him to leave when he did. And to be honest I felt his biggest problem, even moreso than what was bad song choices, were his nerves. We'd hear him rehearsing with the mentors and sound GREAT then he'd go out and give a totally lackluster performance, not unlike Lee in the finale. Choke city IMHO.

Plus, Casey fans should be sending thank you notes to Idol. They gave him THE performance of the night. People who didn' watch Idol watched video of it afterwards to see Bret, plus it was all over the place. And to Casey's credit he rose to the occassion and gave an awesome performance both vocally and on 2 guitars!!

Plus Bret sounded genuinely impressed with him. Could end up being a great help to Casey in the business too. Plus imagine being on the stage for that perfomance with the entire audience on their feet and cheering. It had to be magical to be up there for it!

It's all part of why I can't understand how anyone, even that bra needing lady, her nekked DH, and son who should have the camera taken away and broken LOL, could be upset. This season everyone was a winner IMHO as I mentioned above.

Oh yeah, they did, lol. Goodbye Jam Pants (remember when he wore the American Flag Pants? Turns out Crystal told him to wear them as a joke LMAO.)

I've turned into a serious Idol junkie in the mere one season I've watched it. Reminds me of old Big Brother days. I don't do well with these types of shows I get very involved.

I agree with both of you Lurk and Ny. It was no surprise Casey went home third. He came close to leaving before that a few times. Both song choice and nerves is what did it for him. He didn't know the show well enough to realize how important song choice is.
And Lurk, your right, nerves got the best of Lee also. He even commented later that the huge audiance at the Nokia Theater was a little overwhelming.

I agree that Casey got the prime spot on finale night and rose to the occasion. I'm really hoping we hear soon that he has signed to a record deal. I didn't realize how much I liked and missed his voice until he came back for the finale. It's very unique and someone has to notice.

This is Lee on Access Holllywood singing Beautiful Day. A little different version. What are you thoughts?

I think he should have sung it like this on the show and wonder why he didn't.

Here's some downloadable music from Crystal, plus one video. The lyrics are heartbreaking. She seems to work through her emotions in her songs.

Maineiac, I heard it this morning and like it very much. If he had sung it that way on the show, I don't think he would have had the problems with pitchiness and nerves. He might not have been allowed to interpret it that way, though, because the powers that be may have thought it would be unrecognizable. I don't really know. I'm just making a big guess, based on other judging comments this season.

Larry King show is very in-depth compared to other Idol interviews. Check it out!

I have to say that Lee matured and grew as an artist more than any other Idol contestant ever. At the beginning, my feeling about him was that he had a nice voice and seemed to be a nice person but that he had no chance to win. But as the season progresed, I found myself liking him more and more and found myself pulling for him the last few weeks. Of course, I loved Crystal also and would have been happy if she had won.

Both of these singers will have careers. Whether they will be big stars remains to be seen. I wish them all the best.

Sportsy - that's Orianthi. She's from Australia and was to be the lead guitarist in Michael Jackson's band. She was featured in the movie "This Is It" and has her own CD out now. She's also about to tour with Adam Lambert. She's managed by 19E, as is Adam and some other Idols.

She's awesome! I actually made the discovery of her before all this, about three years ago, when she played at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festival in Chicago.

Sometimes Kidd and Kellie get way too snarky, but they redeem themselves with Kidd's Kids every year so I stay faithful! What they do for those children and their famlies is beyond amazing...

I was okay with Casey getting third and he was worth having on just to catch a glimpse of Rocky Athas...LOL. I wanted Crystal to win but figure if she's okay with it why would I be real upset...LOL! Kind of sad about her and boyfriend.

Did anybody see the clips of Crystal on Regis & Kelly? She was so cute singing with Kelly at the end.
