The long marathon jog to another AI is over: with only minutes remaining in the final stage of that cross-America race, the vote result (not the results, an important nuance when dealing with budding careers) showed us that Kat would have to settle for second place. Something I doubt she has had to do many times in her two decades on earth. Taylor Hicks hair, which did not go prematurely grey from the rigours of this competition. will carry home the gold and will eventually record for more gold, if you follow me.
It’s been the best season so far; entertaining, entertaining and entertaining. The budgets were greatly improved, allowing all-star mentoring throughout the marathon. The two-hour concert last night featured, among the dross, such silver threads as Bacharach & Warwick, Blige, Live, Meatloaf, Puck ‘n Pickler, Aitken, Braxton, Underwood, Jarreau and Prince. A good time, a fine time, a time that left no time for input by Randy, Paula and Simon.
What songs did they sing; who can remember? But then again, that’s the wonderful part of American Idol. No song is too memorable, no face is too memorable (although the resemblance of Katherine McPhee to Catherine Zeta-Jones…) to interfere with NEXT season!
