Anyone else watching? I haven't watched the show in several years, but so far the finale is really good.

Me! I'm loving that they have SO many of the former contestants back tonight, not just the previous winners. I've watched every season and there were a couple of people that I don't remember but most are a blast from the past. It's fun seeing them after all these years. I will always have a soft spot for Justin Guarini. I had such a crush on him during the first season. And holy moly, Bo Bice is HOT! He looks SO much better with short hair and the glasses really did it for me. Wow.
Casey James - I forgot all about him.
I loved that Pants on the Ground guy was back!
Do you think William Hung will make an appearance?

It hasn't started here yet and I haven't watched since the nikki/mariah debaucle, but I will be recording it tonight.
I thought Bo Bice was hot with his long hair...but I loved long hair. Give me the hair bands of the 80s.

I admit I'm not an Idol follower, but I'm curious why this season it's ending so early. I remember it usually ending in mid/late May around my dd's birthday.

I have no idea why they are ending it so early. Early on in the season when they were eliminating 2 at a time I thought it seemed odd. Never occurred to me that the season would end in early April already. I think in the past it's been mid to late May until it ends. Maybe they figured since it's the last season there was no need to drag it out. I felt like we didn't get to know this seasons contestants because there weren't a lot of weeks of the live shows.

I could have done without JLo wiggling her butt all around. What the heck was that for?

It hasn't aired on the west coast yet, so you might put it in a spoiler until the title changes.

I thought it might be a commentary on how long it actually takes them to announce. I am recording it, but not because I care who wins, I've only seen the blond Adam Lambert guy and I don't even know if he is still in it. I just want to see the old contestants.

That was fantastic fun. I watched seasons 2-11 and this season, so I recognized most former contestants.
First of all...hooray Trent. He really grew during the season and I always like a winner who starts out well but gets so much better as time goes on. I could see buying something of his.
As for the rest. Bo cut his hair! George, Clay! So much yummy guys and most have aged so well. Loved most of the solos. Liked seeing the original judges again. Sanjaya didn't even get up on stage.
Remember the few years I ran the contests and we'd try to pick the order they would be voted off at the beginning of the top 10? I think I still have some of those predictions on my computer somewhere....

so happy for Trent too! Especially since he had such a rough start at Hollywood Week having Mono! he really did work on his performances and listened to the critiques. He is very 'current' and 'radio friendly'.

Now I wish I had paid attention to him when we ate at his family's restaurant. Ha! Yea Trent!

I haven't watched Idol for many years, maybe since Adam Lambert, but I did watch a lot of this season. I thought the finale was so sweet and nostalgic. Trent was my favorite, and I'm so glad he won. I really thought LaPorsha was going to win, since the judges were in such awe of her. Trent's range and soulfulness became more amazing with each week. He should go on to do great things.

Yeah, I really thought she had it in the bag. I liked him a lot, but thought she was a teensy bit better. Not disappointed at all, though. And I'm sure she'll have record companies banging on her door before she even gets home. Right! I'm not a fan. Also, did I miss Adam Lambert? Me either. So did not need to have her ass filling up my TV screen thankyouverymuch. I thought maybe he came on when I was in the bathroom or something. Guess not. Was wondering where Mandisa was, too. Cracked me up that Taylor Hicks looks the same. One of the advantages of going gray early, I guess!

- I missed seeing Adam Lambert too - thought LaPorsha would win - happy to see a reunion of the original judges - Bo Bice looked and sounded great, I could listen to Caleb Johnson over and over... Here is why Adam missed the show: Why Adam Lambert missed AI finale

I will have to say that I was slightly shocked that LaPorche didn't win. She is my kind of singer but I thought every time she hot the stage she did a flawless amazing judge. I am sure we will hear from her again soon.
Trent was so humbled by the win. It was really sweet to watch.
I actually enjoyed Jennifer's act minus the butt jiggling. I loved all the Vegasy feathers and headdress.

Both Harry and Keith performed with someone else - my co-worker thought it was very Diva of JLo to just put on her own show. I guess its all about personal opinion.
