Thoughts on Idol Season 9 Finale

· When did Barry Gibb start looking like Sam Kinison’s dad?
· I am not a regular watcher of the Wednesday results show. However, every time I’ve seen it the group sing is no less than 100% UNwatchable. How on earth do these not get called out by Simon as "cruise ship worthy" and removed from the show?
· I love that Crystal’s father had Mr. Bill in his vest pocket. Oh no, Mr. Crystal!
· Is Paula a comedian now? Did she and Dane Cook switch careers? Who made the decision that he should sing and she should do stand up? Especially considering the fact that neither one of them is all that good at their primary career anymore.
· Was anyone else unsure if that was Kelly Clarkson at first? No judgement, but she looks like she’s 52 and about to become the new Jenny Craig spokesperson. What happened there?
· Now I can’t look at Bret Michaels and not be flat-out afraid for his life.
· Do Ryan Seacrest and Mario Lopez both now officially have the title of “Co-Dick Clark”?
· Lee is great, but Crystal should have won.
