Well I'm really really disappointed. Rosa should have won. And of Jamie and Mario, Mario should have won. Jame can "almost" sing.. oops.. just hearing her sing My Heart Will go On.. painfully.. but I think they just want her to make fun of and for the boobs, personally.... I mean, she is really awful, but I think Rosa was even more awful.. I haven't gotten to the part where she finds out, but I did notice at least once during the duet, that Mario gave her a shocked LOOK.. whereas I don't think Jamie noticed a thing at all about Mario's performance. I think she's the offspring of Anna Nicole Smith, perhaps.. So he's telling her now .. not sure she gets it.. she seems to buy the bit about the audience loving her.. Pamy, maybe we can catch a Rosa performance in Vegas??? But Rosa deserved the $100K... ACK "The Warrier Mario??" Oh, well...

I think they picked Jamie because they had to give the winner a contract, they prolly figure she would be the one they could make a star. They can fix her voice in the studio and she looks great. Why didnt the judges say anything at the end? I thought the ending was the worst ever, it just kinda landed like a lead balloon. LOL Sea!

You might be right Pamy, that's the only reason I can see for them picking Jamie. It is weird that the judges didn't have anything to say at the end.

The ending was pretty much as Pamy said, it went down like a lead balloon. And I am sure Jamie did NOT get it at all, she looked pretty lost. She did look a little pained at times when she was watching the montage, but I still think she thinks she is fabulous. Gotta give her that, the girl has confidence. Really Mario and Rosa were both hands down worse than her, but she has the package taht if they have to promote her I'm sure they'd rather deal with. Her Britney comment slayed me, a duet? so Mario will take his 10K to Germany to get his bride and Rosa is still sure she will have a singing career, go figure. For Mario I hope it wasn't all bravado and he did come away with something positive in the self confidence department. I think I actually cringed thru the whole show (but ya I watched it)I was glad in a way that the end fell flat, I would rather that then have had them be utterly bereft.

Lead balloon is right. What a lame ending -- and I felt horribly guilty watching it. And I agree that Jamie didn't get it. I think they purposely picked final contestants who aren't all that bright. I honestly wonder if these finalists really don't hear what good vs bad singing is. How could Jamie not hear how bad Mario was in the duet?!?! While watching I said to myself: Jamie will do Playboy. I think that's why they picked her -- her body.

This could have been a fun show if they had contestants who were intelligent but arrogant and needed some humbling. Instead they got contestants that even at the end barely understood what was going on. What’s next for reality TV? A quiz show where they get a bunch of mentally challenged people together, ask them really bad questions and then make fun of the winner?

Howard Stern already has a segment on his show like that, Jimmer.

There's a short interview with winner Jamie at tvguide.com

Here's the interview from TV Guide Superstar Jamie Squeals! by Ben Katner Last night, WB's marvelously mean-spirited American Idol parody, Superstar USA, crowned Jessica Simpson lookalike Jamie Foss its winner... meaning that she makes Britney Spears sound like Barbra Streisand. Once the buxom blond recovered from learning that her larynx is considered a lethal weapon in every state but denial (and had jokes like that one explained to her), she was ready to meet the press, starting with TV Guide Online. So, are you ready for Jamie? Read on and find out! TV Guide Online: So, Jamie, now that you know the show made a laughingstock of you, do you even want to do this interview? Jamie: Of course I do! I'm very happy with the outcome. Seriously, I do not care at all that it was a joke. This is just, like, an unbelievable experience! TVGO: Well, okay! Did you start to suspect that you were the victim of a hoax during your duet with runner-up Mario? Jamie: When I heard Mario sing, I was kind of like, "Whoa! What is going on here?!" I was thinking he'd be this phenomenal singer, because you know, he didn't really have the image that was, um, you know, kind of... [Struggles to think of a nice way to say Mario's Swan material, then finally blurts out:] I thought he would be kind of like Clay Aiken! So I was kind of asking questions in my head, but then, at the same time, I was like, "Whatever. I'm going to win!" So I just blew it off. TVGO: And when you finally were clued in, how did you feel? You handled it pretty well, I have to say. Jamie: My reaction was definitely fine. I was a little shocked, and there was a kind of frustration. But then I thought about it, and, like, a minute later, I was like, "This has been the time of my life. I would have done it even if I had known it was a joke!" I mean, I got to work with choreographers, I got a makeover, I was in Hollywood for three weeks... It was awesome! TVGO: So I guess you're still going to do an album, huh? Jamie: Yeah, I don't really know what's going on with that. I'd like to get some training and get out maybe a really good album. I don't know what plans [the powers that be have for] the album. No idea! But I don't want people to laugh at me, you know? Kind of like a William Hung thing. When you hear his song on the radio, you just sort of laugh at it. I really would like to be taken seriously, so that's why I'd like to get some training. And you know, recording studios can make anybody sound really good. TVGO: Oh, we know — we saw Britney's concert. Now, as you watched the show and heard yourself perform, what did you think? Jamie: I definitely was kind of shocked. I was, like, "Oh my gosh! Am I really that bad?" But I mean, people have to put [what they heard] in perspective. If you just listen to the quality of the music in the background and the microphones and all that stuff, you'll see that this is not "The Best of Jamie." There is way better than that. I've heard myself sing on tape before, so I know I can do better than what they showed on TV! TVGO: Hmm. Then why didn't you do better? Jamie: Just because we didn't have very much time to practice. When I sing for funerals and weddings, I practice. That's what you do! On the show, you're just sort of thrown on stage with a song you're not familiar with and told to sing it. I tried my hardest, and a lot of times, I sang my song more than once, so maybe they edited in certain things that they hated. [Laughs] I don't know exactly why it sounds so bad, but I know it sounds worse than I usually sing! TVGO: Do your friends agree with that assessment? Jamie: They all thought I could be an American Idol. They've been pushing me to try out. I think my family and my friends took [the reveal] way harder than I did, because they know that I have a lot of talent. Plus, I got a $100,000 recording contract, so it's a pretty good deal for me. TVGO: But on the down side, you now have a stalker in Judge Briggs, if his lust for you was as sincere as it seemed. Jamie: I hope he was honest about it! I don't want him to lie about that! I actually talked to him on the phone last week. We're still cool. I have no hard feelings. TVGO: So, if you weren't already spoken for, he might stand a chance? Jamie: Probably not. No. I think Briggs is a little too old for me. TVGO: No hard feelings, indeed!

Is it just me, or does Jamie STILL not get it?? I have to add to my disappointment in the finale as well. I watched the show on and off during the run, and I kept waiting for that moment that it transcended what it was-- a bunch of really bad singers. I really don't think it ever truly lived up to its potential, namely because it DID get semi-likable bad singers. You didn't feel entirely right mocking these people.

I actually think Jamie has the potential to be a decent singer, maybe not great, but fairly good. She has a powerful voice and a good stage presence. With a voice coach and training she could get some work in the business. Good luck to her. I wondered about Mario, when he just walked off the stage, after Jamie was announced as the winner. I see no one has commented about that. Mario and Rosa both had a lot of confidence even though they could not really sing. I wish them well.

Can we say DELUSIONAL???? The ending was a real let down to me. I thought Rosa should have "won" hands down. She was able to destroy the lyrics as well as sing the worst. Sea, I was thinking that Jamie looks like Anna Nicole too. She could pass for her daughter! So, are we going to see a Jamie and Bill Hung concert?

It bothered me that when Jamie was announced the runner that Mario did not even congratulate her, but walked off as a sore loser. I agree with all of you that Jamie was picked because they could work with her and they liked her looks. I still think she is CLUELESS!
