last night about about 9:57 our time i couldn't wait to get on and blog. hubby shot me a look of, "it's bedtime!" so here i am after supper the following day doing a blog that has lost a little of it's pizazz, but since i'm still quite buzzed here goes...
DAVID COOK!!!!!! he won!! i watched the whole show preparing myself for the end. i just have to say i was so impressed with simon's very sincere and much needed apology to mr. cook. dear friend commented yesterday that it seemed like cook had changed. that he was more contemplative. i can only assume when you are 26 and watching your brother slowly die that you would get that way. but kudos to him!!! i just read like i was saying's blog. she asked if anyone else wondered if cook was trying to throw the competition and i confess i did wonder. i think he would have been happy either way, honestly. i too wonder if he wanted some freedom to spend time with his brother that winning wouldn't allow. who knows...
but here are some of my thoughts on the big finale:
1. the old musicians - they really should be done. donna summers just looked, well old and george michael, although a huge fan in my teens, seemed a little more, well weird.
2. carrie - clearly one of the most successful idols ever. i love that girl, but thought the dress was, well a little too short.
3. i loved that they gave jason a chance to sing one of his better songs - i really liked him. and brooke - i was glad to see her doing what she does well, but would have loved to heard let it be.
4. can i just say how cool it was to see cook bring archie up and somewhat share the moment!!!!
5. okay, like i was saying stole this one from me. well, since she posted first she wins but it was in my head - i promise... the commercial! there is nothing like that scene with tom cruise. when cook did his i was a little surprised, but loved it. he pulled it off well. but archie - the boxers just aren't the same and he seemed a little bit uncomfortable.
6. i loved the zz top/cook song, liked the archie/band i don't know but looked cool song. the jonas brothers - i've heard of them but never seen them. is that what boy bands of today are like? that is nothing like the new kids on the block. i'm a total 80's junkie!!!!
7. can i just say brian adams...again, total 80's junkie!!!
8. i was way too obsessed this year, disappointed they didn't shock us all with the return of daughtery to the stage, and abundantly thrilled that cook won...
oh...january 2009 can't come soon enough:)
