Awesomeness!

Upset of the Season? Nope, well deserved!

 

Cantiello: Last question: There’s some heartbroken Adam Lambert fans on the Internet. What do you say to them right now to cushion the blow a little bit?

Allen: OK, here’s the deal: Adam is gonna be fine. He’s gonna be a megastar. He’s probably gonna be bigger than me, so don’t worry about him. He’s great. I’m really happy for him.

Cantiello: Happy for him, and super happy for you. Congratulations, Kris.

Allen: Thanks a lot.

Cantiello: Enjoy the ride

-My two favourite Idol-related people this year. Jim Cantiello, in absence of a StarWorld channel (or even with em), you have always lighted up my days. SHOUTOUT!

sidenote to (cough) Danny Gokey : that’s how you do it.

SO, need I scream more? I am as willing as Kris Allen to acknowledge Adam Lambert’s awesome chops, but I can’t help but be ecstatic to have, for the first time ever, the object of my devotion win AI. Last year, it could’ve gone either way and it wouldn’t have mattered much (though Cook appealed more). Most of us the seasons before were blah, then Kat McPhee had to lose to eeewww Taylor Hicks. So, this is just awesome! Admittedly, I wouldn’t have minded him losing, in hopes of getting some Archuleta charm. But, THIS IS JUST AWESOME!

 

Dear American Idol producers,

Please don’t screw up Kris Allen’s career and let him take his own creative liberties on his album.

Thanks.

Love, Khalidah Nazihah

 

oh, oh, oh. Get a load of this! Well, this sort of prompted the note above anyway.

This is Jim Cantiello’s final note on his live blog of the American Idol Finale.

10:15 pm – BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!! The press room left the feed up after the show went off the air and I NEEEED to share what I just witnessed. Right after Kris won, he was whisked away to backstage, where a crew was waiting for him to say “I’m going to Disney World!” Kris, being a low key dude, wasn’t giving the producer what he wanted. “Be more excited!” Kris tried to up the energy. “I’m going to Disney World!” “You can do better than that! SCREAM IT!” Kris tried again. The producer pushed more. Kris tried again. And then an “Idol” stage manager rushed in and started yelling at the other producer. “That’s the best you’re gonna get! Let him be himself! He doesn’t do excitement!” I’m so depressed that I witnessed that. Okay, I’m done now. Thanks for reading!
