American Idol Finale

Despite putting on one of the biggest productions compared to previous seasons, American Idol season 8’s finale was down in viewership by 12% compared to last year’s finale show. That’s too bad because whoever chose to not watch missed an amazing set of performances. Performers included Queen Latifah, David Cook, Jason Mraz, Carlos Santana, Black Eyed Peas, Lionel Richie, Rod Stewart, Cyndi Lauper, Keith Urban, Steve Martin, KISS and Queen. Of course, every single one of the Top 13 was also there to perform. It was a great showcase of talent. The past, present and future of music was greatly presented in one amazing show.

Condensing American Idol

With American Idol running long for a couple of weeks, I’ve come across a funny idea of condensing the entire show down to just a 15-minute performance night. Minute 1 of performance nights will see the obligatory introductions of the judges and Ryan Seacrest. Mintue 2 sees the mentor of the week giving a speech on how everyone was instead of giving personal comments with no footage of them rehearsing. Minutes 3 and 4 will just be Adam Lambert blowing away the competition. Minute 5 will just be Simon’s comments. Minutes 6 and 7 will be Danny Gokey’s thing. Minute 8 will be Simon again. Minutes 9 to 12 will be highlights from the other remaining contestants. Minute 13 will be Simon giving his thoughts on the other contestants. Minute 14 will be Ryan giving out the numbers and minute 15 will be well wishes of good night with Kara saying “artistry”, Randy saying “dawg” and Paula babbling randomly.
