These were only some of the highlights of Wednesday night's "American Idol" finale, which crowned handsome (and talented) 21-year-old Phillip Phillips the season 11 winner. Yes, it's the fifth year in a row that a white guy won, but who's counting?
As usual, the "Idol" finale had something for everyone. Season three winner Fantasia joined third-place finalist Joshua Ledet (“Mantasia”) for a rollicking performance of Elton John’s classic, “Take Me to the Pilot.” Season five finalist Ace Young proposed to season three runner-up Diana DeGarmo, live on the "Idol" stage. And then there were the aforementioned performances from Rihanna, J-Lo and Aerosmith.

As for Glee I haven't watched it yet but it's on my to-do list this weekend.
DH sucked because I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS IN THAT BOX!
Greys.....I hate whoever thought killing off Lexie was a good idea.
So.....In all honesty I liked Phillip....Sure he had the good looks and charm but I just loved watching him and his voice sounds like the usual stuff I listen to. Jessica was definately the best singer but she's not as entertaining as he was. Honestly I would've perfered for Skylar or Colton to win... It's okay though, Jessica is pretty mainstream she'll have the backs of other people who like regular old pop ballads. I learned to appreciate the music Phillip plays and I started leaning towards him after he sang Disease and I really like what he did with Stand By Me. I thought last year sucked...

Once James was gone I didn't care for any of the people left. I didn't like either Lauren or Scotty that much. But even Phillip was in my top three. I bought some songs off of James' album and I'm pretty sure I'll buy something from my top three picks at least. Hollie wasn't that great in my opinion she was kind of boring to watch, just like Hayley last year but at least Hayley had a cool jazzy voice that made up for her lack of expression. Hollie was just boring in general.
This is another of my favorite renditions of "And, I Am Telling You" by a 12 yr old.
But actually, I thought the Glee finale was an enormous disappointment. I really enjoyed Kurt's graduation present from his father because I loved how it tied back to the very beginning of the series. It was both hilarious and touching... I wish I'd just stopped the episode right there.
The very worst part of the episode was when Kurt found out that he didn't get into NYADA. Honestly, what lesson were we all supposed to learn from that? No matter how hard you try, you won't achieve your dreams? The girl who bombed her audition gets in, but you don't, even though you nailed yours? You never REALLY wanted to sing on Broadway, so go do something else? If they're trying to keep Chris on for another season, they've gone about it in the completely wrong way. You hurt Kurt, you hurt all of us, Glee.
Also, Blaine and Kurt didn't kiss. Every other couple on the show kissed multiple times, but Blaine and Kurt didn't. I've had a huge problem with this for a long time, but it really hit hard on Tuesday's episode. I know that Fox has demonstrated that they hate homosexuals, but does it have to be SO obvious? I am so sick of holding my breath for the slightest of affection...

That all said, I love Glee. But god, I hate Glee. I'll be watching next season, anyway. Can't get enough of my bb Kurt. :')
I've never seen NCIS or Grey's Anatomy so can't judge.
I thought Desperate Housewives lost it after season 2.
Glee was too painful to sit through! I think I managed about the first three episodes before I got cramp from the way the songs were being shoehorned into the plot!
SNL is a classic but Kirsten is just the latest in a long line of exceptionally talented people moving on to greater things; pity her send off was spoilt by that doddery English pensioner who wandered onto the set!
House was the one for me! I loved the way they kept twisting and turning until the end and I got a definite lump in my throat when the both rode off together.
Also one of the things I always think when I see Hugh Laurie is "why can't I be him"! I mean... I had friends who went to Oxbridge so I could have done it if I'd worked harder, I'm the same age as Stephen Fry so I could have met him... it wouldn't take a lot to just cut him out of history and slot me in his place!
It's funny, though, to watch alternating episodes of House and Blackadder the Third/Blackadder Goes Forth.... funny = strange that is!
As for this year, I think Jessica blew everyone away. Maybe the country is tone deaf.
