The End Is Finally Upon Us....Hal-Lee-lujah!

With just one show to go before the worst season in American Idol history is officially over, only 2 contestants remain.  It should be no surprise that Crystal and Lee survived the cut thanks to the over 47 million votes that were cast.  Once again the results show was 30 minutes too long and full of performances that were completely worthless.

Next season American Idol will be changing their format.  The performance shows will be and hour and a half and the results shows will be 30 minutes.  Hallelujah! 

Perez Hilton foistered more garbage on us (besides his doodlings on his website and the fact that he's using up precious oxygen that more deserving people could be benefitting from) when he introduced us to Travis Garland who he claimed is a better singer/performer than Justin Timberlake.  WAAAAAHHHHHTTTTTT?  Travis performed (I use that term about as loosly as I did all season for the crappy Idol contestants) "Believe" and if I am being completely honest (I will miss Simon's catchphrase) I believe that it SUCKED!!!!
Luckily we shouldn't have to be subjected to this kind of nonsense next season, if there is a next season.

Then we were treated to a taped performance from Justin Bieber.  Can you say played out?  This kid is everywhere and I'm starting to get get sick of him.  No I don't have the Bieber Fever that seems to be running wild but for those of you who do, I give you this:

Returning from the absurd, we can now focus on the duel between Crystal and Lee.  This has been a foregone conclusion for weeks.  Despite the rumors flying around that the Idol heavies forced Casey to change his song selection at the last minute to the slow and boring pile of poo that he delivered, there was no way Casey was making it to the final over Lee or Crystal.  The only thing that would have made the night a success was if this (thanks again to VFTW for this fantastic graphic) had happened when the Top 2 were announced:

As you will see below, it is a very close race for this season's AG Idol winner.  Yolanda drops into a 3-way tie for first place with Scott alone in second and Lois/Betty/Mary M. is a tie for third.  It will all come down to next week to see if we have a new champion or champions as Kristen is too far back to repeat as champ. Scott and April picked Crystal to win it all and bet 4 and 3 points respectively on it so it's really going to be a good results show.  Finally something exciting from Season 9!
