The American Idol Finale Recap – Congrats Jordin Sparks
24 May
Congratulations to Jordin Sparks as she won the American Idol Finale last night in Hollywood. She beat out the bet boxing Blake Lewis and definitely deserves the title.
The show, which was just over two hours long, seemed more about American Idol overall than season 6 or Jordan and Blake.
All former Idols where there with the exception of Fantasia who was busy on broadway. Kelly Clarkson kicked off the show with her new single. Tailor also sang his new single. Carrie sang her Idol Gives Back song and Rubin did a duet with Jordin. Then all the Idols came back on stage and did a tribute to Sargent Pepper.
There we also many musical guest stars but everyone was there trying to up their album sales. Pretty soon we’ll have a commercial free American Idol as it’s all turning into advertising anyway.
Carrie Underwood was presented with an award from the American Idol record company for having the biggest selling album. With just over 6 million sales, and tons of awards, she’s well on her way to be the biggest Idol ever. It was also noted that Chris Daughtry, who placed fourth last year, has the biggest selling album so far this year. Not just for American Idol, but for the music industry overall. Taylor has almost half a million album sales, Kathrine is at about a quarter of a million and Chris is at two million. Interesting. 
Last night Melinda and Sanjaya also got to share the spotlight as those two Idols got their own spot on the show. Melinda sang with the group she use to sing backup for and they sang an odd song that sounded like something out of an after school special. Sanjaya sang his horrible You Really Got Me Going song with Joe Perry from Areosmith. Even Ashley Ferl was on hand to cry cry cry.
Ohh and lets not forget about the Golden Idol Awards. The awards that promote the worst and continue to tarnish the finale show. I really think these things hurt American Idol’s image as it shows they are not just looking for the best singer, but they reward the horrible, bush baby owl and giant chicken, singers. Come on.
And after all the Idol advertising and artists promoting their albums or shows it was time to get back to why we were all here, oh yea, to crown an American Idol.
609 Million votes were cast this season, 74 just for the finale. And what it all came down to was Jordin Sparks. The 17year old that has been amazing the judges and audience for the past few weeks. She deserves it and has earned it!
The American Idol finale was long, over done and seemed to focus more on everyone else than the two fighting it out for the title. I had to skip the season finale of Lost for this and it true Idol fashion, it was one hell of a show.

Kelly clarkston has turned evil, her vocal was horse, and her out fit was horrible, Daughtry has a good band but he’s weak, I guess the studio recordings do him justice, Melinda should stick to the church. Carry Underwood is so mousy, and idol has made her another dolly pardon minus the chest, she to plastic. and fake, i guess thats why she does country.Sanjaya is the worst i dont think she should have had the honor to sing with the guitar player from areosmith he is the worst, about as bad as the guy who won the mock election that sings loud and out of key. as for Simon he is the only one that is worthy to be a judge, and Paula Abdoul looked stoned with bad extentions and is worthless, they should replace her with some one like Rosy Odonnel, Taylor Hicks is a Tom Jones want to be except his vocal was horse and his hair needs a good dye job, maybe he should hook up with carry underwoods people. That song contest was a joke, they didnt even recognize the writers except 2 seconds, They probable were waiting for there big break and got it and probable have more talent than all the idols put together. The announcer thinks the show all centers around him his attitude is not fun to watch and i would replace him with Carson Daily, Over all in the end I think they picked the right girl to win, she was a true american idol, I dont think people like melinda doolittle or tisha should even be aloud, they are more professional why dont you just let Maria Carry try out./ Finally at the end when they announced the winner I though it wasnt so exciting now if you actually had a crown or sash or maybe flowers it would make it complete you could be at the level of miss america. I felt like I was watching miss America at point in the show,, espcially when you started pulling out all the has beens, over all the finally was good.
Melinda Doolittle doing really great! She doing the Dreyer’s ice cream tour right now. And she did releases her first song on i Tunes My Funny Valentine. She will released her fist album June of 2008.

She is wonderful singer.
I hate the golden idol awards. The one guy today had a problem and they had to put him on there. That was soo mean.
