I had it so I would win $70 if Carrie won but I get scared and lowered my potential winnings to $10. Stupid fear instincts....

I really loved the show hehehehe the two geeky guys they brought to the finale only to tell the larger of the two that the empty seat next to him was for David Hasselhof...I about fell off the bed laughing. And that girl with the national anthem? classic

I really wanted Bo to win, but I didnt, I've said all along that he would be better off in 2nd place so that he can do what he wants and not be tied to AI the way the winner will. Clay has furthered himself MUCH more as runner up than Rueben has.

I got teary eyes watching Carrie try to sing after they announced her as the winner...shes like "you expect me to be able to sing NOW?"

I truly think they each deserved to win, but I can tell you this....it will be Bo I'll be willing to spend money on, not Carrie

Just for fun, here's a compilation of quotes from all of those who thought Carrie might win all along:

From February 22:

I feel certain that he will get a recording contract after AI and be very successful. I still think Carrie will win. She's got "it".

Congratulations to all the folks who spotted Carrie early on, and better luck next time, K-Wise.....

I'm happy for them. Bo's performances tonight were wonderful, but Carrie is definitely the more marketable one. I still wish Bo won. He's adorable and way more mature. Ah well.

I really enjoyed this show... now to wait for the thirtieth! Canadian Idol!

exactly. it all comes down to marketablility...

Bo rocked. Carrie rocked on her heels, bouncing trying to keep the temp... I'm sorry, but she just didn't have the stage presence that Bo has.

And Lynyrd Skynyrd too! wow.

And was that George benson that I saw?? i wasn't sure, but it sounded like him (i was flipping back and forth between Lost and AI)

Yes it was George

and I have to say Bo's performance with LS was totally awesome and impressive

Yeah, but he had to lawyer up to get himself out of the 19 Entertainment contract. I wonder if Bo will go the same route?

Even if he doesn't make a CD, Bo wil just go back to doing what he does best, rockin it out on stage.

I still think he wanted to lose because carrie was in it honestly. As Bo said the one night to the possibility of getting kicked off: "what happens happens, I only did this on a dare with my mom" (paraphrased b/c I'm too lazy to look it up)

Asta!!

So wait, Carrie Underwood won?

*hasn't watched American Idol a day in his life*

I still think the best performance of that evening was vonsell with billy preston, she seemed right at home on the piano. Still sends shivers down my spine when I listen to the song...
I'll definitely spend my money on bo if anyone. On the first episode, when he sang "Drift Away", I knew it was gonna be a good season. Not sure if I can ever watch another season of AI just because he was so awesome and I don't think anyone in future seasons will be able to compare to him.
