Originally Posted By mele LOL, thanks DyG. Does George look sickly to anyone else? My husband and I both think he looks ill, frail.

Originally Posted By Inspector 57 <<Does George look sickly to anyone else?>> Mr. Bill thought that (and thought he sounded bad). I just thought he was doing an impersonation of Bono.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling George was sportin' a pretty "odd" look there. And while I agree with Inspector that it was kinda weird to put a heavy song like that as the lead in, I really liked that song. But I can't really concern myself with that now - gotta try to figure out how to get my "brothers" ringtone.
Originally Posted By Labuda Well, I KNOW the west coasters show is over now. OMG, I cannot put into words how darned happy I am that Cook won! Watching it now, but found out earlier from my friend Melanie who won. As for Ms. Summer - LOVED HER! I'm totally gonna hop over to Amazon and get her new album!
Originally Posted By danyoung I really enjoyed the two Davids duet. And Brooke with Graham Nash was pretty sweet. Other than that, the rest of the music was totally forgettable. I skipped a lot of it on my Tivo to get to the end. And what do they do? Announce the winner right AFTER the 2 hour mark. My recording literally went "and the winner . . . is . . ." click, no more show! I had to log in to CNN.com and get the surprise of my life - YAY COOK!!!!

ChickieD, they have your ring tone on myxer.com. When you key in American Idol, it's the first ring tone listed at the top left. (Well, right now it is...) That's where I get my Disney ride tones. You just give them your cell # and they send you a text message. So, the only charge involved is a standard text message fee.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 I think this just goes to show that AI is such a part of the collective culture now, and the various contestants get their fans pretty early on in the process, that it really didn't matter how the two Davids did on the final competition show. David C. had a bigger fan base (apparently he's been #1 in votes for weeks now) and they voted for him regardless of David A. having a better night Tuesday. Just an observation - I like David C. better myself. Both will do fine, though.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Compared to other AI finales I thought this one was pretty good It was great to see Donna sing, yet kind of sad to see all the girls doing their moves and her just standing there, great voice regardless Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. were really funny, YAY for something funny and not corny! All in all a good production (again compared to what we usually get.) I'm surprised at the 12,000 votes difference though. Our DVR kept recording just long enough to hear who the winner was. You'd think we'd learn to record what comes on after AI. I guess we have several months to think about that
