Here's a recap of the AI finale yesterday:

First, Ryan Seacrest talks about how nearly 100 million (whoa!) votes came in. He introduces the judges, and they show clips of Randy Jackson's "for me, for you" line ("It just isn't the right song for me, for you"), Kara sweetening bad news ("Honey, you can't sing", "Sweetie, I don't think singing is for you"), Paula's vocabulary ("intonation", "brilliance"), and Simon being hard of hearing ("What?", "Pardon?", "Sorry?").

Ryan brings Adam Lambert and Kris Allen onstage! Mikalah Gordon reports from Conway, Arkansas (Kris's hometown), on the screen, and all the hysterical Kris fans are surrounding her. Carly Smithson reports from San Diego, California (Adam's hometown), with Adam's fans screaming around her.

The Top 13 sing So What by Pink. David Cook sings Permanent as a tribute to his brother Adam Cook, who recently passed away to a brain tumor (the performance is on iTunes, and the proceeds go to an organization that's trying to find a cure for cancer).

 

Ryan presents the "Golden Idol Awards" to honor the not-so-great singers in the competition.  One sang Mad World at the auditions, and it was so funnily lousy, it made me laugh so hard! Nick Mitchell (or "Norman Gentle") wins for "Outstanding Male" and performs weirdly.

Queen Latifah and Lil rounds sing Cue the Rain. Jason Mraz sings I'm Yours with Alexis and Anoop (David likes Jason Mraz!).

They play a clip of Kris's American Idol journey. He is really very modest! At the auditions, one judge asked if he was the best singer out there, and he was like, "You know, there are probably lots of people out there who are better than me." Then Kris sings Kiss a Girl with Keith Urban.

The finalist girls sing Glamorous. Fergie takes the stage and sings Big Girls Don't Cry, then the Black Eyed Peas join her and they perform Boom Boom Pow.

The Golden Idol Award for "Best Attitude." They show clips of people who reacted badly to bad comments from the judges at the auditions. Katrina Darrell a.k.a. Bikini Girl wins. Of course she was wearing a bikini. She sings Vision of Love and Kara joins her halfway, which she did not expect (at the auditions, she'd said to Kara, "I don't think your demonstration was any better," so now Kara was showing her). Then Kara gives a quick flash of her bikini. She was dared by her fellow judges, and since she did it, they had to donate some money to her favorite charity.

Allison Iraheta and Cyndi Lauper sing Time After Time.

Ryan Seacrest chats with Kris's and Adam's parents. They're so proud!

Danny Gokey sings Hello, then sings with Lionel Richie.

Ryan Seacrest talks about the AI top 10 tour and album.

A clip of Adam Lambert's AI journey! Then Adam sings Beth, wearing an AWESOME outfit, then sings Rock & Roll All Night with a metal band called Kiss. No offence, but Kiss kind of freaked me out. They painted their faces and kept sticking out their tongues while smiling, which is a bit scary. Plus they have very hairy chests.

Carlos Santana plays the guitar and the Idol finalists sing a Santana medley. Adam goes and walks over next to Santana and looks at him, so Santana shakes his hand. So cute!

A clip of David Cook surprising Kris and Adam with brand-new Ford Fusions! They thank Ford for their new cars.

Michael Sarver and Megan Joy sing a song about pretty flowers or something with Steve Martin.

The boys sing If You Want My Body (omg haha!), then Rod Stewart sings.

The Golden Idol Award for "Outstanding Female." Tatiana something wins. Ryan tells her to stay in her seat first, coz they were gonna take a break, but she runs onstage anyway and grabs the mic and award despite Ryan's protests. Then she starts singing while the guards grab her arms. She's annoying. Sorry! But I think she is.

Final performance! Adam Lambert and Kris duet and sing We Are the Champions with Queen and the rest of the Idols.

Kris sings No Boundaries, and the Idols come onstage with him. White confetti falls from the ceiling and everyone is screaming.

Oh well. Congrats to Kris. I think he's quite a good singer and he's cute, but in my opinion, Adam is better. Omg. Adam is so awesome! I really hope he gets famous! He's just so amazing and so unique! I do NOT like all those people who stopped voting for him just coz he's gay! So narrow-minded! It's a talent competition, so who cares what his sexuality is? It's not fair! I think Adam would've won if he wasn't gay, or if people didn't care about these things.

My gosh la. Even though he's probably gonna get famous anyway, I just wanted him to have the title! Wouldn't it be so cool if you got to be an American Idol? Ugh. Well, good night, everyone. It's like 12:58 AM now, so I think I better go.

Adam Lambert rocks my socks off (even though I'm not wearing any)!
