The show was fun, megan. Lots of good musical acts. Just, fast forward over the Golden Idol awards, I found them a tad painful.

Keep in mind I only generally watch the last 5 minutes of results show.

megan,

I TiVo AI final results show and decide if I want to watch it. One season, I just didn't even fucking bother with even the result being aired.

I watched the last 10 minutes live, so I guess I'll watch the other 2 hours when I feel like it.

The finale was just surreal in the sheer number of celebrities who apparently wanted millions of people to watch them on TV tonight (and had something to pimp).

Supermodel: Boo! Well, can't win 'em, I guess.

Also, I think Perou has a sort of pervy crush on Branden.

Supermodel: I'm confused. If Salome has such a horribly fat body, why does she win the photo shoots that involve no/minimal clothes? I can understand the judges' issues with her catwalk abilities, but she can take a photo better than anyone else in the past two seasons.

Here's hoping she'll take their advice and practice her walk 24/7 to break it big in the business.

I really thought that Sandhurst was toast tonight. He suffers from the same "big ass" problem that Salome has, but since his is firmer, he gets away with it, even though the clothes don't fit just as much as with her.

Well, since I have no TiVo, I'm watching and working.

Seriously. Of course, it's not that she's fat all over, just that she has that enormous 38-inch ass. Approx the size of my waist.

I think the comparisons among the guys is interesting -- Branden being skinny and more "European," Sandhurst being generally "too big" for a model, but knowing how to move, Jonathan kind of riding the middle physically, but taking good pictures.

Oh, in American Idol news, I heard someone on some show this morning say something about Adam Lambert "redefining" masculinity in rock music, or some shit. This after a night when he performed with Queen AND Kiss? Granted, I haven't seen much of the kid, but he didn't seem to be creating anything new to me.

Granted, I haven't seen much of the kid, but he didn't seem to be creating anything new to me.

The only thing he's really creating, or rather, redefining, is the range of material that an artist is "supposed" to be covering based on their appearance or background. This guy has rare range and knows how to work it to maximum effect all while keeping a core signature look. It's pretty mind-boggling in this day and age of the pre-packaged pop tart.

I can understand the judges' issues with her catwalk abilities, but she can take a photo better than anyone else in the past two seasons.

I think they really want a man to win this season is part of it.
