Thanks for posting the videos and the finale news, too, Kenny.

I want Blake to win. And I voted for him for about an hour straight - and unfortunately I always got through - which means the he wasn't overloaded with votes

I hated that last song - the songwriting contest winner. That was horrible for both performers IMO.

Jordin was HORRIBLE on Xtina's "Fighter" - but she was AMAZING on McBride's song.

I wouldn't mind Jordin winning - but I'm pulling for Blake.

ITA with your post. I tried voting but I couldnt get through

I had no idea that it was Chris Daughtery that sang "Home" the song thats always played during AI

Jordin screached "Fighter" and that's a fact. She put no feeling whatsoever in and was a trillion times worst than Martina McBride singing "A Broken Wing". She was better on the final song, but that song was not fair to give to Blake to sing anyhow since it wasn't his genre.

I and my mother traded the phone and at 30 minute intervals voted from 8pm until midnite. We both received a lot of busy signals. It was hard to get thru for the first 2 hours especially.

Here is the link to watch Chris Daughtry again.

Thanks Jean for the clip. I knew someone from SON would post the performance. Thanks again! I hated that I switched channels so fast last night and missed them. Daughtry rocks.

Chris Daughtry has more talent than last year's top 2 or this year's top 2 as well IMHO.

Bon Jovi didn't even like Blake's version of this the first time he sang it.

That's total B.S. What's your source? I doubt there's one. Jon Bon Jovi DID NOT say that he didn't like Blake's version of "You Give Love a Bad Name" on IDOL. I'm a big Bon Jovi fan and I loved Blake's version, and hated the horrible rendition of "Livin' On a Prayer" Jordin "I'm think I'm So Hot" Sparks did.

Oh boohoo, it wasn't his "genre". You are tested all year in different genres to show how versatile you are. Would Blake fans have preferred a song with little to no vocal ability required?

Goood LAWD..It's Big Bird LOL

That Panther dude was a trip

Big Bird! I forgot all about her. I love her hair...LMAO!

OMG Kelly brought the house to its feet. Even the judges stood and cheered.

That performance was raw, emotional, and just brilliant.

Kelly's been the best part so far......

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo it's Sanjaya........

I FLOVED her performance...She ROCKED it, and I'm glad she was on...

UGH it's Sanjaya....UGH I think I lost all hearing in my ears after hearing him singing.

Kelly Clarkson freakin reeks of awesomeness!!!!

I freakin love the hell out of this girl!!!!

SMOKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smokey looks like he's had his face pulled and tightened at the plastic surgeons office.......

They probably would have loved it if he beat boxed his way through Tears From Heaven by Eric Clapton.

Blake is a one trick pony, and he's proven it during absolutely HORRENDOUS vocals on MANY occassions.

That's why you have friends in high places. Expect a PM from me in like 5 minutes.

Wow, it has been a longggggggggg 5 minutes.
