American Idol 2007 finale

We watched the 2-hour finale tonight, which apparently ended about 10 minutes late. We didn’t watch it live, though; we watched it on the tivo, shifted about an hour later. So, when our recording ended abruptly, and they hadn’t even announced the results yet, we were kinda bummed. Apparently, they couldn’t fit everything they wanted into two hours. To reward their viewers, who cast a record number of votes (74 million or so), they didn’t even announce the results until after the show’s scheduled end time. So, anyone who recorded the results show using a Tivo, VCR, etc. did not get to see the results. Thanks, Fox/American Idol!

Incidentally, the winner was Jordin Sparks. I was happy about this, as she was my favorite since fairly early on. Last month, I mentioned that I expected either Jordin or Melinda to win. Blake beating Melinda seemed like a fluke, but his performance with that other beat-boxing rapper guy was pretty entertaining!

One other thing Lacey noticed in the finale show was this message (technically from Coca-Cola, but that was not terribly obvious in this captured frame):

Thanks for drinking.

(”Thanks for drinking.”)
