I only first watched this show tonite, but I thought Lucy was clearly the best.

I just can't warm up to Lucy's singing. It's just so forced and artificial. It's like she has the natural ability to sing really well but chooses to do that weird thing with her voice instead. It was nice hearing Dennis DeYoung with Hal Sparks again. They make a good pair. However, since this was the final vote I had to throw all my votes to Alfonso who has been the most consistent.

I thought they all brought their "A" game for the finale...loved the part where Hal and DeYoung went down into the audience to sing to their respective women...but I am really hoping for an Alfonso win: he HAS been consistent, and I think he could even make a career of this. He has also successfully taken intelligent risks, like singing a David Foster song last week, and singing with someone he had never partnered before tonight. And loved his Carleton dance, just icing on the cake!

I think Alfonso has been the most consistent and I loved him with my girl Gladys. I thought Hal and Denis DeYoung did a wonderful job with that song, I loved it! I just can't get into Lucy Lawless ... she seems fake going for that sultry sex symbol thing ... blech ...

I think Lucy will win because of her fan base. Alfonso should win, imo, although I didn't like his first song yesterday. Loved Hal with Denis DeYoung, he sounds so much better when he sings than when he shouts. We'll find out tonight. I've enjoyed this show, glad it's ending now though, as I'm having trouble finding room to tape it with the new season shows on.

Anyone watching tonight? Thought it came out just right with the final three...Alfonso WINS, in case anyone doesn't yet know! Each got to do a solo tonight, and I liked Lucy Lawless and her "growl"! Hal unfortunately was shouting again, his voice sounded strained. I HOPE Hal takes David up on his offer to take him into the studio, so that David can show him how he can sing even better. I liked Alfonso's solo, but didn't love it, partly because I was comparing to the Clay Aiken version that I listen to all the time!!! Jai and Alfonso did a neat little bit at the piano with David Foster: thought their harmony was really good, much better than Hal and Lucy. I am glad Alfonso won, and hope he does get his dream of being a recording artist.

LOL. It seems like every time someone does a cover of a song they get compared to Clay Aiken. I'll never get that whole Clay Aiken thing. I guess you had to watch American Idol to get swept up in him. He does make for funny talk show interviews, though. I'm really glad Alfonso won, and the whole finale was nicely done with everyone performing (including the judges). It was very cute when Marie came out singing to David. I kind of wish they had run this just a few weeks earlier so it wouldn't have been competing with the fall premieres. It's perfect for the summer season.

Yes, I'm hoping people were watching tonight...so quiet here! A nicely done finale show indeed. And usually I have nothing to watch on Friday nights, so extra happy! PS to Curlyq: Yes, maybe you did have to watch American Idol...actually it's the last time I've watched it, except to sample bits and pieces (like Fantasia and "Summertime"), because the experience was so powerful...especially since he was the "underdog" who only got in at the last moment. He listened to the judges and grew and grew. I have two tapes in my car, and one is a Clay Aiken, and I play it frequently, and am so used to his rendition, that it made it hard to listen to Alfonso without comparing.

Gosh I liked this show. I never watched it until 3 or 4 days after it aired so I didn't look in here so I wouldn't be spoiled. I hope this is something they bring back. I assume this was it's first season?

Yes, Naja, it was a new show. I'd like to see another season, assuming they can get some good celebrities. And yes, next year put it on during the summer!
