oh my gosh - it's all over and jordin sparks won the 'honor' of being our next american idol! (after 74 million votes!) i was rooting for ms. sparks until last night when i voted multiple times for blake lewis but i'm glad jordin won! she for sure was the better singer - and only being 17 - she has plenty of time to grow into being a kick-ass entertainer! overall i had a lot of fun watching the finale - highlights for me included gwen stefani performing her new single '4 in the morning' (although from another location) and kelly clarkson was quite good too - i also loved gladys knight singing 'midnight train to georgia' with the top six ladies - a total favorite song of mine! then i jumped out of my seat when bette midler came on doing her classic 'wind beneath my wings' - i must go catch her when she takes over for celine dion in las vegas! (who doesn't love her flick beaches?!?) right now i just feel drained - it has been such a whirlwind since this season started and now we've got a much needed idol break for a couple of months (along with paula abdul who has been so freakin' loopy lately - something is up with her) the next round kicks off in january '08! if you're curious to hear jordin sparks' new single 'this is my now' (i still say it's a total shitty song) the good people over at AOL already have the goods! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!

Ummmm, good for her, I guess. But I just know they'll jack up her career with the lousiest songwriting talents that have been lingering for years. Katherine McPhee, anyone? Definitely liked Blake, he's way more marketable. Great presence and can sing. I'll buy his music.
