random thoughts on finale

[pete fabrizio]

1. i liked it a lot more than i thought i would.

2. gladys knight made melinda and lakisha both look small and talentless. actually, even that girl that melinda used to sing backup for kind of made melinda look bad.

3. gina is still my girl (i love how she pointed to herself and winked while singing "i get high with a little help from my friends"), but if there's one AI talent that would be the [censored] of the century, it's carrie underwood.

4. if the last round ended with jordin doing "this is my now" and blake doing a solo version of that beatboxing duet, blake wins the whole banana.
