Crystal, Casey, and Lee

Well, I've been calling it from the beginning: Crystal, Casey, and Lee are the last three standing.

All are powerful and talented. At this point it doesn't matter to me who wins because they will all get contracts so they can live out their dreams of singing to a wide audience who will buy their music. Good for them! I'm looking forward to the finale. My fellow blogger and sister, Dina, and I would love to go be in the audience so if Idol sends us tickets we'll be there!

I can't quite put my finger on why Idol bugged me so much this year. Maybe I just got used to the rhythm of the results shows, but I couldn't bear the false suspense. Plus I surfed back and forth between Modern Family, Cougar Town, and Idol so I saw what I wanted. Maybe the way the show has changed, maybe Paula being gone, Simon leaving, Ellen coming on the show just changed the dynamics enough to bore me 75% of the time.

I still love the idea of people getting their dreams fulfilled and I'm sure I'll love the finale, but I don't know if I'll watch next year.
