Wow, what a fantastic American Idol finale it was! email this discussion to a friend?

I thought American Idol's 2008 Finale was just great! So many musicians, ZZ Top, Gladys Knight, Donna Summer, Graham Nash, Jonas Brothers, etc.

I liked the addition of comedy to it: Mike Myers a.k.a. the Love Guru and Jimmy Kimmel were really good.

I think that David Cook will go on to be at least as successful as Kelly Clarkson and Chris Daughtry, what do you think?

thumbupYes I loved Jimmey Kimmel and Gladys Knight and her "new pips" ... I laughed my head off at Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr ... funny!!Yipppppeeeee! I am so happy that David Cook won! He got 56% of the vote and won by 12 million votes! Wow! It really didn't depend on which David sang better in the finale or what the judges thought but how many fans he has and how they wanted him to win. David Cook was so cool singing with ZZ Top tonight ... I think the finale show was the best ever! David Cook was so happy and emotional. Good for him! He will go far in his career I think ... can't wait for his first album! David Cook has the potential to become a a big star. Even though rock 'n roll seems to be his genre of music I believe he can sing anything. He seems like a hard worker and has his dreams and the ability to achieve success. David Cook has a fantastic voice and great stage presence. He knows how to entertain and wow the audience. He probably will sell lots of records. I am so glad that won the American Idol title! Good for him!

Oh, weren't they so funny? I do love Robert Downey Jr. Yes, it's pretty cool that David Cook won. He does seem quite versatile and also humble, which I think is a good quality to have when you are about to become really rich and famous. I can't even imagine how excited he must have been to sing with ZZ Top.

I agree with you marilynut, he will sell lots of albums. And we can both say we predicted it when it happens!!! LOL That's so silly, I have a feeling a lot of people in the music industry have also predicted his success.

P.S. Love your picture of M.M. ...

I think the finale went that extra step of being a completely fake and stupid reality show. Al of the boxing stuff stole away from the professionalism of the show and made it corny in a bad way.

ArsonCuff,
Thanks for offering an opinion from "the other side" here. I found it to be the best Finale ever, but that's just me. Take care!

I agree with you, I think the whole season was good and they are all winners but wow what an ending!


myLot reputation of 100/100. PearlGrace (1883)   ranked 530 out of 1,706 in american idol  1 year ago

jaded1,
I am already thinking about next season's American Idol and what they could possibly do at the finale to compare with that! Some have said some of the comedy was a littly hoky (sp?). Even so, I think it was a fantastic ending to a great season. Plus, with the 2 Davids, what could possibly go wrong?

Thanks for your response.

I always do the same thing.
It is a good show reminds me of star search. My brother swore he was going to be on that show LOL.
But he never was he instead learned Tagalog language and became a professional singer. He doesn't do it any more. He has this list of things he wants to do in his lifetime and being a singer was one of them. So he has crossed that off his list and moved on:-)
Have a great day

Hi jaded1.
That is interesting about your brother having a list of things he wants to do in his lifetime. Very cool indeed.

And, that he has become a singer is quite an achievement. I must reveal my ignorance here, I do not know the language called, "Tagalog".

Thanks for your response.
