Archuleta and Cook get their Ford Escape Hybrid keys after a Ford video of outtakes from the season!
The ladies take the stage in RED, then Donna Summer gets introduced to sing her new single while the girls harmonize and some b-boys from SYTYCD accompany. Donna finishes with LAST DANCE. She hands the mike to Syesha at one point for a verse or two!
Carly Smithson and Michael Johns perform "Wrote Me A Letter"
The guys take the stage and are eventually joined by Bryan Adams

Jam packed show ladies and gentlemen!

My Thoughts On The Finale
Well, now that we have all had some sleep, I thought I'd reflect on the good and bad of the Finale.
First the BAD:
I don't care if Elvis Presley came back from the dead, if he's not singing with an Idol, I don't want him on the show. This year's finale had 4 performances (Gwen Stefani, Tony Bennett, Bette Midler, and Green Day), that had NOTHING to do with American Idol. If they can't do something with a current or previous Idol, get them off the stage. The Idol franchise now has plenty of superstars on their own, they don't need these people for ratings. They would do better without them.
Retire the Golden Idol's NOW. They have done some cute skits in the past with some of the more memorable from the auditions, but this year was BAD. I remember the Clay look alike from last year, and then Clay coming out...that was good! I also remember Season 4, with the David Hasselhoff fan getting to meet him? All Good. This year...All BAD.
Not enough duets, with celebrities. The past couple of years the entire Top 12 got to sing with one of "their" Idols. I hope American Idol adjusts next year and realizes that what makes this show special is the investment we (America) make in the Idols.
The Good:
Loved having the Idol winners back! I'm not wild about them coming on to promote their latest single, would rather see them together, or in a duet with the current year Idols. I would also love to see some of the non-winners back. Maybe singing some group numbers together.
I always forget about the Top 2 getting the Ford mustangs!
I think I liked the Guys group performance over the girls. Chris Sligh sounded great! So did Brandon...I wish they both would have advanced further. I wish we would have heard more than a verse or two from ALL of them.
Blake's duet was good, Blake and Jordin together not good, or maybe not great would be more accurate. Jordin and Ruben sounded great together!
Kelly Clarkson's voice sounded pretty strained, but it was great to see her back! Taylor sounded great and only re-enforced how much better Season 5 was than this year (and that is coming from someone who didn't vote for him in the finale). Carrie was good also. Too bad we didn't have some Fantasia. A video clip of her saying hello and wishing Jordin and Blake luck would have been nice.
Anyway, Season 4 and 5 remain the best finale / results shows to date. Hopefully Idol will get back to that winning formula next year. It's time for me to sign off. I will have videos up sometime today, and will continue to keep everyone up to date on the Idol's as they start their tour and careers.
Oh...and Congratulations Jordin!

Finale - Live Blogging!
Ryan welcomes everyone and introduces the judges one last time.
Jordin and Blake perform "I Saw Her/Him Standing There" to start things off.
Then we cut to Gwen Stefani on tour singing "4 In The Morning" somewhere in front of a live audience...her and Ryan exchange pleasantries before she introduces and sings the song.
Commercial break...
Ryan introduces Kelly Clarkson singing "Never Again"
Time for the Golden Idols...
Best Presentation - Margaret Fowler (she grabs Ryan and lays a big kiss on his lips!)
Top 6 guys all in white suits...singing "Ohhh Baby, Baby"...Then Phil introduces Smokey Robinson. He is singing "Being With You" (I think). The top 6 harmonize. Next all 7 singing "Tears Of A Clown"...Real nice harmonizing! Everybody sounded great!
Commercial break...
I am sorry I kept losing internet access. I will finish the update and have ALL fo the videos later.
Jordin Sparks WINS American Idol. Congratulations Jordin!
The show went almost 10 minutes over...so if you were TIVO-ing you are out of luck. But we will have it all HERE at MeTalkinToYou!
My first inclination is to say my favorite "duet" was Jordin and Ruben! It was great to see Ruben! My Favorite individual performance was Taylor Hicks singing the beatles song! What do you think?
