What a great show tonight, lot of fun. Except that Rod Stewart sounded horrible and I couldn't stand the Fergie and Black Eyed Peas song. Even Lauren said she sounded horrible.

Adam lost but he has a lot of class and will do great. I liked them both, both nice guys who can sing.

They were both great. I think Adam will be better off by not winning.

Great show tonight. I agree about Fergie & BEPs. I had to mute it. I loved the rest. I think Rod is lots older than Maggie May now!!!

Linda

WooooooooHooooooo!!!!!!! And oh yeah! WHAT a show!!!!

Yea!!! Arkansas boy won. He'll get his 15 minutes. Adam will do better by just having the exposure. He's better than Idol.

Rod Stewart was the best thing about the show tonight. He's classic and will never go out of style!!!

I'm glad Kris won! Adam will go far on his own.....I bet he had the time of his life singing with KISS. They both are great singers, Kris I feel is more of a musician and Adam is a good entertainer. Two very different styles. What a great show it was tonight.

(There is quite a few misspelled names here)

Queen Latefah, Carlos Santana, Rod Stewart, Queen, Cindy Lapper, KISS, Al Jerrod, Jason Mratz, who am I forgetting. What a line up.

Loved the show. Adam definitely has the better voice, but his style is less interesting to listen to than Kris. I'd buy Kris's CD.

By the time it was over, I didn't care who won. Both Guys will make it big.

I could just copy what Gayle said. That was a great line-up.. I was thinking how cool it would be to be in the audience of a finale show.

I think America got it right. Adam will do great on his own (probably better than if he had won).

I am another one glad Kris won.I did not like Adam for my own reasoning.My own thought.One I could not stand the way he dressed.

I was flipping back and forth between commercials so I only caught a glimpse of the acts. I have to say that I am always impressed with Steve Martin. I love his banjo playing!!!!!

Way to Go Chris!!!

Seriously? Impressed with Steve Martin's performance? Myself, I was embarrassed for him. Oh, his banjo playing was passable, but he looked like he wished he was anywhere but where he was, between the two worst voices of the night. And I really like Megan, but this just wasn't her song. I really like Steve Martin's comedy and I've read a couple of his books and enjoyed them, but if there could have been one of those little balloon thingies over his head, I'm sure it would have read, "Why the heck did I say yes?"

I loved everyone on the show, including Rod Stewart and Steve Martin. Steve Martin made me laugh when Ryan asked who he thought wanted to win and he said "Me, but I don't think there's much chance".

When I closed my eyes I was back at the Rod Stewart concert in Hartford, CT, September 1971.......but when he tried to dance I returned to reality! LOL!! Rod--babe, I know how ya feel....the spirit is willing but the body won't follow thru!

When one of those guys from Kiss was crawling on the floor, I honestly wondered if his creaky knees would let him get up again without help.

And the Gene Tongue needs to stay indoors - enough already! That is SO, like, 70's! *LOL*

LOL Donna. I agree with everything you said.

I told my husband, if it were me up there on stage and I was going to sing a bluegrass song with some celebrity it would be Vince Gill playing the banjo (and singing right along with me [hopefully without cringing])!

Jodi-

I've never seen a KISS performance but I did know who Gene Simmons was by his wild makeup.

I did some research on Gene Simmons on IMDB.com. He is one very interesting guy. Born in Israel, used to be a school teacher, considered becoming a rabbi at one time, lived with Cher for several years, has never drank alcohol, used drugs or smoked because he felt his mother, who survived the holocaust, did not need to deal with an addict, speaks five languages, wrote a autobiography called Kiss and Makeup (clever title). Fascinating guy.

Jodi-

Well, I just rewatched the show and realize why I didn't care for Rod Stewart's performance, they changed the melody and he sang without the same enthusiasm/emotion that he sang the recorded version. I guess that's one reason I don't normally like live albums or concerts.

I loved the Queen song with both singers, especially Adam's singing. He could sing any of their songs.

I like them both but think Adam is the bigger talent. Chris got most of Danny's votes since they are both religious and Adam is not.
