Thought I would add that on top just in case there are some who dvr'd/tivo'd it and are watching it later.
I was disappointed with the results. I wanted Crystal to win, and I felt that she deserved to win. Also, I find it ridiculous that Lee's single is going to be one that was so hugely known prior. Why wouldn't they give him a new song? So strange. At least Crystal's song, although not new, was not widely known as having belonged to a well known artist.
I guess in the end it doesn't matter who won because I'm sure they'll both have a recording contract. I must say that it was nice to see Brett Michaels singing with Casey. Brett has done a lot of things in his life that are not appetizing imho, but the guy has been through a lot this past year. It was nice to see him moving around, singing, enjoying himself with Casey. I hope he will be completely restored to good health, and that the Lord Jesus will be His Rock & Fortress for the rest of his life here, and for all eternity.
It was nice to see Janet too. She looked good, better then most might look after all she's been through this past year. I liked her hair cut short like that too, and she was looking really fit. Good to see her like that, and smiling again.
Having said that, I loved seeing all of the past winners (with the exception of one not having been there), and so many of the former contestants from years past as well. Simon seemed gracious in his departure. Paula was interesting. Kara seemed uncomfortable having Paula there, and if I'm not mistaken it looked at one point like she was trying to get Paula to get off of Simon's lap and sit in a chair.
That was all a distraction for the real show, the results, which, again, for me, were a disappointment. BUT.. I will say this about Lee, he seems to be a genuinely nice guy who has worked hard to get to where he his, so I hope this win will do great things for his future. Wishing Crystal a brilliant future as well, and I'd really love to see Casey & Siobhan do something too. I like both of them.
Now that this is out of the way: Who do you think would make a good replacement for Simon?
