As I said, I started one. But I'm going to post things here too, just under cuts. Please be aware that every single one has spoilers (ETA: and the comments do too!) so don't read if you haven't watched the show yet. I haven't given out the actual blog link yet because I still feel like I'm kind of practicing at this right now... but you guys are

I agree that Crystal should win, but man, I think Lee the most mediocre contestant to make it to Top 2 since Diana DeGarmo. I got Adam's appeal last season, but Lee's appeal is a complete mystery to me. You say he had pitch problems last night, but almost every time I've heard him I've thought he only hit about 2/3 of the notes on pitch.

I don't care who wins, though. Do you remember Kelly Clarkson's "Up to the Mountain" with Jeff Beck back in S7? It was >>>>>>>>> Crystal's IMHO, and Crystal's was by far the best performance of the night. Which basically sums up the fail that has been this season for me.

It did amuse me that Kara's "No Boundraaaays" finally staked the coronationary song, though. Excellent.

That's totally fair. Lee's not exciting, but I do like his voice a lot. And he may have had pitch problems for most of the season--I quit watching around the time Katie and Siobhan were sent home and just started again last week, and I hadn't really even noticed Lee before "Hallelujah" (which I thought was a fantastic rendition). But yeah, I thought this season was really quite boring--even when I was watching, I did homework through most of it and didn't feel like I was missing anything.

I don't remember Kelly Clarkson & Jeff Beck's version, no. I missed a season or two here and there and didn't pay attention a lot of the time even when I was watching... I haven't been hyper-focused on a season since Bice/Underwood. But I believe you. Haha. Maybe I'll YouTube it when I get home.

I'm going to root for Crystal tonight, just to have someone to cheer for. =)

We sort of have opposite experiences because I watched the beginning of the season and slacked off towards the end because Dancing With the Stars was much more interesting to me. I did see Hallelujah, but that song is Done for me. So typical of Simon to choose the most obvious song ever. Didn't he ~personally clear~ One for Adam last season. Dude is stuck in the 90s.

Crystal is gonna lose, according to DI! I'm more surprised at how few busy signals they picked up, tho. Clearly we were not the only ones bored by this season.

IGNORE MY PREVIOUS COMMENT IF YOU CONSIDER DIAL IDOL SPOILERS.

I didn't think about that until just now, whoops, sorry.
