YAY! Oh, I am so happy for that boy. I'd decided that since statistically speaking overall the winners of AI have done better than the first runners up, I wanted Cook to win. I am glad America obliged. ;) Looks like Dial Idol was right! I was very skeptical, but they had it. (And if you go back and look at the last few weeks of Dial Idol results, Cook's win is even less surprising.) I suspect that Simon checks Dial Idol and that's why he backtracked on Cook at the end there. And David was so obviously moved and thrilled to have won, I'm so happy for him.
Best moment though? The very very end, when his brother looks into the camera and says, "That's my brother!" SO CUTE.
And it was so sweet of David to keep bringing Archuleta (and everyone else) into the fold. Can't help but think there was a big brother vibe going on there, with Cook being conscious of Archuleta's young age and wanting to make him feel a part of things. Very classy. Surprised Archuleta Sr. didn't have a public meltdown.
And David Cook was wearing eyeliner, which, GUH. I love that. Guys in eyeliner are hot, truefax. (Ewan being the gold standard, natch.)
Most amusing recurrence: just how much Amanda Overmeyer did not want to be there.
The Love Guru stuff was embarrassing, although the boys were cute. However the Pips stuff had me laughing, mainly because of RDJ. HA! Who knew the main thing I would be taking away from the AI finale was a reminder of just how much I want to have sex with Robert Downey Jr. Awesome.
Oh, my other favorite moment: Blake singing along with Jordin's song. He knows the words to her song! THAT IS SO CUTE.
Michael and Carly singing together = hot. I kind of forgot how hot Michael Johns is. Damn.
Loved the Guitar Hero commercials! I wonder if they'll put the Cook one into regular rotation now that he's won.
Most of the musical numbers were so frickin' random, though. ZZ Top? Bryan Adams? Donna Summer? George Michael? (Although I was psyched about that last one. Faith is one of the best albums of the 80s, my friends. Due respect. He didn't look so good though. He's not sick, is he?) Paula must be a buddy of his, with the way she was crying.
I eagerly await to see Carrie Underwood on Go Fug Yourself tomorrow.
And now I'm sad that it's over for another year. Bye guys! I will miss you. Seacrest, I think I'll miss you most of all. *clicks ruby slippers*
ETA: iTunes has "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" as a video but not as a song release. What is that about? Grrr.

And, yes. That eyeliner worked very very well for me too. We didn't get the Guitar Hero commercials. Or, well. I don't think we did. I'll have to go double check.

The GH commercials were just shown in the middle of all the regular commercials, so they were easy to miss.

I SAID THE EXACT SAME THING TO MY MOM. I was like, she could've at least faked wanting to be there.
Michael and Carly singing together = hot. I kind of forgot how hot Michael Johns is. Damn.
I mostly watched for my man, really, and I am glad he did not disappoint me. Yummmmm.
ROBERT DOWNEY FREAKING JUNIOR MAKES EVERYTHING SO MUCH HOTTER. YES. I was having a freak-out when I saw him on Idol and my mom was just blanking on him. GUH WOMAN HOW COULD YOU NOT RECOGNIZE HOTNESS?

And RDJ's face during the Pippage was the best part of the whole bit.
I'll miss Idol.

Ewan in eyeliner IS the gold standard, but yes, I wil take nearly any boy in eyeliner, hee.
I've given up trying to figure out how they come up with these musical guests. ZZ Top? Really??
I eagerly await to see Carrie Underwood on Go Fug Yourself tomorrow.
OMG, right? What the hell was that?

Although did they make any singles this week, or were they all videos only? I would think they didn't really have the time this week, or if they did they only had time for the coronation song...
I think George Michael had some bad plastic surgery, which is why he looked like he did.
I heard that all the contestants wanted Cook to win, as did many of previous years (why Blake had COOK on his knuckles, etc). So they were all truly happy for him, and it showed in that last number. The cameras cut to Archuleta, Sr. soon after the announcement was made, and he actually looked genuinely happy for the guy. And I don't think I've seen Simon smile that big in a long time.
(Yes, I rewatched before bed. Can you tell? *g*)

LOVED the Guitar Hero commercials -- im sure Guitar Hero is happy that Cook won - I dont get the point of Archie having his version since he doesnt play guitar.
Oh yeah, and yay for bringing back the guy who sang the Brother song...topped off with the USC Trojan marching band. Awesome! It was like a friggin Simon Cowell roast! I just wish in the clip theyd have shown the part when Randy leans out of the door and goes "DUDE SEACREST GET IN HERE YOUVE GOT TO HEAR THIS!"
Did you hear there is an AI "attraction" coming to Disney World next year?
