Before last night I was tired of Tabitha and Napoleon, but the Chris Brown selection moved me into changing-the-channel territory.
I'd be happy with Russell, Jakob, Ellenore or Kathryn taking the win. I was wondering last night what I would think of Ryan if FP hadn't made it to top 20 this season, since I couldn't help thinking of them as a unit in some fashion (and thus he was tainted).

So much this. Ugh. Why didn't they bring back Lil C to choreograph a krump routine for the krumper? It is really just incomprehensible.
Honestly, the top 4 are not, as a group, great soloists this year.
Kathryn's solos are weak, although I thought her last one was the best she'd done. However, I've actually really loved Russell, Ellenore(except the last one), and Jakob's solos. Even the Santa solo. That fool danced out of his shoe, seemingly not on purpose, and continued to kill it whilst somehow getting the shoe back on. Ridiculous. And Jakob was gorgeous. I think the booty shorts were a distraction from the quality of the last solo he did.
Good night, peoples. That was a great finale, time constraints notwithstanding. There were some really excellent numbers, and I'm so glad to have a top four (yes, I'm ignoring the diLellos, who were lovely and sweet and very pretty, but yeah.) that I really can get behind. I have no idea which of the four will win and I have no problem with it being any of them. For my own voting I finally skinned it down and it goes Russell, Kathryn, Jakob, Ellenore for me. Which is funny because I adore Ellenore and have since the start, and of course Jakob is remarkable. But when I tivo'd back, it was the Russell and Kathryn numbers that I couldn't skip. (Except the Russell & Kathryn number, oddly, for which I blame NappyTab big time.)
I did rewatch the married dance, too, because I'm a schmoop for hot married sex...err, I mean, tender married partnering. It's a nice storyline, and it's nice they made it to the final together, yadda yadda. It's bogus she made it to the final, though, and almost bogus that she made it on the show at all. I suspect I probably would have liked Ryan better without her, but I bet he wouldn't have done as well. They really seem motivated by each other.
Everyone else, though, seriously star. Agree that we were robbed of the same sex dances and solos. It really makes a big difference, and I agree that last season's pirouettes made the difference. It kinda sucks to not have your own fate in your hands for choreo, your style, your dance for the finale.
Anyway, can't wait for the results.
Okay, so I'm watching live, and just got to turn it on, and the sound's out and Russell's hurt and can't walk? Whoa!
OMG! Adam Lampert thinks he's Prince!
There was way too little pelvic thrusting for that to be Prince.
Okay, so American picked the right top 4!! Go America!
I love Glambert, but I would like to know what took a crap on the shoulder of his suit.
I gotta admit I thought the same thing, Amy! Loved the song, though. I may have to look up his debut album. I don't even know if it's out yet.
It's out, Sail. I liked the song he did tonight a lot more than the one on the AMAs.
I'm so disappointed about the third and fourth to go, but the top four were all SO talented.
I know! Can't we have four #1s?
