A good season if you ask me. the final 12 was a pretty likeable group.

They all seemed like good kids (I can say "kids" at my age) and they clearly liked each other. The top six girls were as good or better than all the guys though. You can't help but like Jordin and Blake showed real class throughout. Melinda is the best vocalist but Jordin has that huge upside...I'm satisfied but wish those two could have gone head to head in the finals.

Taylor Hicks sounded horrible...

Eek.

Congrats to Jordin Sparks on winning...

Outside of the stupid awards and Joe Perry having to play guitar for Sanjaya I thought it was a really good show....Best performance of the night for me???

I thought that Blake and Doug E Fresh brought the house down....nothing like a trip down memory lane.....six minutes!!!!

I could not be happier. I feel so vindicated after last season. Getting to follow my favorite auditioner through the entire process was so much fun and I'm thankful that she never got the boot on one of her more nondescript performances from much earlier in the season!
