America has voted. And it's Jordin Sparks! They chose her to be their new American Idol. The youngest Idol ever. She is just 17. Where was I when I was 17? Battling with my SPM hehehe. At the tender age of 17, Jordin sudah popular dan kaya raya. Bertuah punya budak :)

Ryan announced last night, that this year's finale, they received 74 million of votes. Wow! A record breaking. Bertambah kaya si Simon Fuller. American Idol makin lama makin meningkat, kalo AF makin lama makin menurun. Why? you answer! hahaha

It was a two hour grand finale last night. Frankly speaking, I was bored. The only performance attract me was the choir by the African American Children. They were cute! Other than that, who else performed? Previous winners of Idol kecuali si Fantasia. Present Idols. Gwen Stefani (via satellite - dia sedang buat konsert di Massachusetts), Gladys Knight, Tony Bennet (diberi peluang sebab dulu dia sakit), Green Day (saya tertidur masa diorang nyanyi) and Bette Midler (saya sambung tidur hehehe).

Besides that, they also give out Golden Idol Awards. Patutpun orang-orang Amerika sanggup berbaris pi audition walaupun tidak pandai nyanyi. They aimed to win the awards. The Best Buddies lah, most original voice lah bla bla bla. Dapat peluang bagi speech lagi. Fuyoo tidak sia-sia pi audition dan diketawakan oleh jutaan penonton.

Result was announced 10 minutes before the show ended - punyalah penat saya tunggu! Sudahlah saya belum mandi, sampai tertidur-tidur lagi. Pulak tu, saya kecewa sebab Blake ndak menang. Ada pula desas desus mengatakan 'American Idol is fixed'. Sama saja halnya dengan AF kita di Malaysia. Bah, biarlah tu. Jordin is still the winner. Kita tengok siapa yang meletup penjualan album selepas ini. The show ditutup dengan persembahan Jordin with her new song "This is My Now".

American Idol pun melabuhkan tirainya. Ryan bilang "see you in January next year!" Sekurang-kurangnya, American Idol confirm tahun depan masih ada. Berbeza dengan nasib AF. Tapi Januari tu adoii lama lagi mo tunggu. Nasib baik saja ada Supernatural 2 dan Lost 3. Harap-harap The Amazing Race Asia 2 pun ada this year.

Winners on American Idol:
2002 (AI1) - Kelly Clarkson vs Justin Guarini = Kelly
2003 (AI2) - Ruben Studdard vs Clay Aiken = Ruben

The last contestants standing took the stage of Kodak Theater last night. They performed three songs each, their favourite, song they had sang during the competition and a new winning song.

Blake Lewis opened the show with 'You Give Love a Bad Name' by Bon Jovi. Followed by Jordin Sparks with 'Fighter' by Christina Aguilera.

In Round Two, Blake sang Maroon 5's 'She Will be Loved' and Jordin with Martina McBride's 'Broken Wing. In the final round, both of them performed a new song 'This is My Now'. I kinda fell in love with this song :)

On my personal judgement, I give round 1 & 2 to Blake and the final round to Jordin.

Simon was heard giving comments on Blake that he thought Blake played it safe. To me, it was Jordin who played it safe. Just look at her. She was just standing in her all three performances. She was scared to move about that she might ruin her singing. Aguilera's song was supposed to be a dynamic one where Jordin should running around the stage with aggresiveness like a 'fighter'. But she didn't. Jaga suara lah beb.

Should Jordin cry while performing 'This is My Now'? You answer! Was it a strategy? Hmmm..it could be. Last night's show was closed by Chris Daughtry, performing with his popular single 'Home'.

I'll pick Blake Lewis to win :)

Stay tuned for the result tonight on Star World. There is a rumour, Britney Spears might perform. Let's check it out!
