I'm happy - first off, Hines Ward took home the Mirror Ball Trophy on Dancing With the Stars. And last night, Scotty won on American Idol! So I didn't have to get mad at Idol (or America's votes!) this week!!
It was a fun show last night. The final 13 contestants kicked off the show with a Lady Gaga song. I like her songs - just don't like to look at her!! Next the contestants did duos with stars.
James Durbin was singing with Judas Priest. I was hoping he’d be singing with Steven Tyler. THIS is the kind of performance I was looking for in the finale. It was fun even though I am not a fan of heavy rock and metal. Rock on James!!
Jacob’s duet. He’s singing with some dude named Kirk Franklin who is a gospel singer AND Gladys Knight!! Jacob must be in heaven. This is Jacob's element. I sincerely hope he has a successful career in Gospel music ahead of him.
Next Casey comes out with Jack Black!!! Sooo funny! They did Fat Bottomed Girls. That was entertaining!
The girls come out singing Single Ladies. I like that song. They were good too. Turning out to be an entertaining night so far! Beyonce joins the girls with her hit, Crazy In Love. They’re really pulling out all the stops with the celebrity guests tonight. Fun, fun, fun. This beats that boring finale any day.
Haley sings with Tony Bennett. Very classy!
Another ladies performance… with TLC this time. Not my thing, so we fast forwarded through it!
It’s Scotty’s turn to sing his celebrity duet, and he’s singing with Tim McGraw… Live Like You’re Dying. Wish Scotty had sung with this much passion last night. He held his own with McGraw!! Would have loved to see him with George Strait but Tim McGraw is FINE!!
I do believe this is the first time I’ve ever heard Marc Anthony sing. He’s kind of homely looking to be married to such a knockout as JLo? Oh well, to each his own. And then she comes out and shakes her booty. Sorry - I just don't think that was appropriate for Idol!! We were fast forwarding until JLo came out and Sonny slowed the VCR down!!
And the top thirteen guys take the stage with their medley of Tom Jones songs. Except Scotty sang Green Green Grass Of Home - did Tom do that one? Not sure.. And then Tom Jones, himself. This certainly is a blast from the past. How many face lifts (or tanning beds) do you think this guy has had?
Scotty and Lauren get to introduce a special teacher that they invited to the show. And Ford gives each teacher a Ford Focus. Who knew being a teacher could bring you such perks?? Good for them! Lauren's teacher was actually her principal. Bet she won't be serving any detentions when she returns to school! Ford also have Scotty and Lauren a car of their choice - bet Scotty's will be a Pick Up!
Now Lady Gaga takes the stage. She is so bizarre. Another un-appropriate act for Idol I thought. Glad I don't have young children watching!
Once again, Lauren gets the best spot. And surprise (not) - she’s singing her duet with Carrie Underwood. She’s having so much fun. I wish I had watched Idol back when Carrie won. It would be fun to see how she did back then because she is certainly on top of the world now!
Beyonce is back, singing her new single, One Plus One. She does have a spectacular voice, though, can’t deny that.
After this show, the results are going to be rather anticlimactic.
Next performance was Bono and a group from the Broadway show of Spiderman. I love Bono but another fast forward!
Then Steven performs. He’s at the piano, singing Dream On. Fun, for sure, but he doesn’t have the voice he once had. But he still throws in that signature screech at the end, although it looks like it might have almost killed him. And it’s over almost before it started. Guess you can’t expect the guy to have the endurance that he had 30 years ago, huh?
FINALLY time for the results. Lauren looks about ready to puke. And the winner issssssssssssssssss…SCOTTY!!
Scotty pulled it off. YAY!!! I'm happy for him. Just hopes he makes it big as a country singer once he is through with his Idol committment.
