Idol's over...it will be Carebear!

I wasn't impressed with that finale. But the little recap at the end made me remember why I liked idol so much this season. :tears: I'm gonna miss it! Anthony was adorable in the audience. :grin:

Anthony WAS adorable. And I and my sister saw several Carrie/Anthony moments.

I LOVED the cointoss. Ryan is just awesome. :lol: He was running around the stage. Too cute. I imagine they did it on purpose, but it was still hilarious.

Bo bored me...haha, but that's nothing new. Carrie was flat a bit, but she still pulled off all her songs, specially the last one. That was INCREDIBLE. I've already got all three of her songs on my MP3 player. I think she was singing that last song to Anthony...:wink: When she finished, she pointed in Tony's direction and said, "I love you!"

I wish they had shown more of the other 10 though. Anthony was hardly shown at all. And I LOVED the final video. Almost got me crying, but I just couldn't because I had makeup on cuz I'm going to pick up my grandma from the airport in a few minutes. :lol:

I'm watching it again when she gets here, so I'll be able to go into detail with the performances....

I totally missed the first 5 minutes.. :tears: I felt so stupid once I realized it was 8:05 here and I had forgot about American Idol. The holiday on Monday confused me. :happy:

^ Aw, that stinks! Did you miss the coinflip?

I'm rewatching the show now, and noticing all the little Anthony/Carrie looks. My grandma said: "You can see it when he looks at her. He cares about her." I'm like, "YEA!" :lol:

Totally missed the coin flip! :sad: I'll have to find a download somewhere. I think I may be the only person that's not into the Anthony/Carrie.

Oh no, you're not the only one. I've seen others. It's all preference though :wink:

Yes, you need to find a download clip of that coinflip. It was incredibly hilarious.

And did you all SEE the Carrie/Anthony goodness? He was always next to her, and she hugged and kissed him!

Carrie won! You should of heared me; I was like screaming so loud in my house. I think I’m going to faint. Anyways, That was cute with Anthony. He was like sooo there for her which is so CUTE :bounce: :hug:

I couldn't scream, because my brother was asleep, but I was practically bouncing out of my chair. :lol:

And it was adorable. He was like, ZOOM, right there at the end of her song. :lol:

OMG, YAY! Carrie won! Man, I have no idea when they're playing that episode over here. Kat, I'm definitely going to have to watch the entire season on your tv. :wink: But yay! Carrie won! I did kinda like Bo, but not as much as Carrie. Yaaayyyayayayay. :grin:

I was SO happy! I jumped up and down and off a table and bashed in the ceiling with mah head! YEAH BABY! I'M RICK JAMES! Also I ran around screaming and smacked into the WALL! YAY ME! I also liked that thing with Simon! I was roflmao!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :party: Now it's party time! Wh00t!

i screamed for the opposite reason... i SOOOOO wanted Bo to win... but i knew he wouldnt

so far every single AI season i wanted the runner up to win

Same here. For every season I've watched (part of 2, all of 3) I wanted the runnerup to win. I didn't watch season 1, but Kelly seemed like the right choice for that. But this year I finally supported a winner!

And alright Nova. :lol:

Yeah...this is the first time I was actually supporting the winner! (Didn't see season one, but I probably would've wanted Kelly to win)

Thank you to everyone who participated in the party! We had tons of fun and look forward to next year's! Congrats to Carrie, Bo, and all the others! This has been a FANTASTIC season!



And with that, Kat, out! :wink:
