American Idol Season 5
he Show began with Carrie Underwood singing with the two contestants (Carrie is the American Idol winner from last year.) Later in the song, the top 12 idolists join them. A choir accompanied them, all dressed in black, and the idolists were all wearing white which looked really cool.
Ben Stiller and Heather Locklear are in the audience tonight.
After the performance, Ryan introduced the three judges, along with clips from some of their moments from this years show. I must admit that Simon’s video was by far the funniest. I wish everyone could have seen it. Every clip was of him touching his face. He always has his hands on his chin or lips as if he is thinking.
Paris Bennett sings with Al Jarome (I’m not really too sure who he is.) I like Paris’ cute curly bob, but I really don’t like her outfit. After listening to her, I realized that I forgot how good she is.
Chris Daughtry sings with his favorite band, “Live.” My mom said right from the beginning that Chris would be better in a band rather than a solo artist, and after hearing this performance, I think she’s right. He’s a rocker who needs a band, and I can’t wait until he comes out with an album.
After these performances, they showed a video of Kelly Pickler in a restaurant. I was laughing so hard. Kelly is hilarious. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone with a personality quite like hers. She was meeting with a chef to learn about some types of foods, and how to pronounce them, because she was made fun of for saying calamari wrong. The chef forced her to eat escargot when she really didn’t want to, so she put it in her mouth and then gagged. After that she turns around and spits it into a napkin. The way she did it made it really funny. And she also called the escargot “es-car-go-tee.”
Katharine then sings with Meat Loaf. At first when Meat Loaf sang, I didn’t know what was going on. It was one of the oddest things I’ve ever heard. When Katharine started singing, she sounded amazing. As the song progressed it got better and better. It was a good in a weird kind of way I guess. Katharine looked really pretty except her dress showed a little too much of her chest.
After the commercial break, Ryan announced that they were beginning to have the “Golden Idol Awards.” It was basically a joke to make fun of all of the bad auditions of the season. It was really funny to look back and watch some of the worst singers of the season.
After that they went back to Kelly Pickler in the restaurant, and they brought her a live lobster and she fell off her chair from fright. I know I say this a lot, but it was really funny. She said she is afraid of food with eyes.
Next, it was all the top guy’s turn to sing a medley. At one point, Taylor came out and played the harmonica. It was really cool. I loved seeing them all together again. There was a final Ford commercial that was a combination of all the past Ford commercials. It was pretty cool.
Katharine and Taylor both got new Ford Mustangs. Lucky people.
The next Golden Idol award was the sweetest family moment. It was between Chris’ wife, Katharine’s Dad, and Elliott’s mom. Elliott’s Mom won. It was a very cute moment. After they awarded her with her trophy, Ryan announced that it was Elliott’s turn to sing. He is just so amazing. His voice is unlike any of the other competitors. I fell in love with Elliott as the competition progressed. After a while, Elliott introduced Mary J Blige. It was, yet again, another awesome performance.
Carrie Underwood then sang one of her songs. She is very good, and they announce that she won two awards at the Country Music Awards last night.
It was time for another performance. This time though it was Taylor and Toni Braxton. Taylor sounded amazing, but Toni sounded a little weird. Either her mike wasn’t working or she didn’t know the words, I just didn’t hear a single word she sang. She sounded terrible.
The next performance was all of the top 6 girls. I really liked Lisa Tucker’s outfit. Paris sang the main chorus of “Natural Woman” and it sounded amazing. The rest of the performance was good, but I think I liked the guys better.
The next Golden Idol award was the best of the night. It was the best impersonation, and the award went to the Clay Aiken look alike. He was actually at the awards and decided to sing for the audience. As he begins his terrible song, Clay Aiken comes out of the back and starts singing with him. The guy’s reaction was priceless. I think he was in complete shock. It’s hard to explain what he did, but just trust the fact that it is hilarious.
Burt Bacharach then accompanies the final 12 idolists on the piano. It was a sweet performance. All of the girls were wearing red dressed, and the guys in black tuxes. Kelly Pickler had a little solo, and she sounded good, but I still think she should stick to country. Then Bucky had a solo. I really wish he would cut his hair. It looks quite disgusting. Of course all of them sounded amazing, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be Elliott. I think it helped that he had a song I love. After all of the idolists had their parts, Dionne Warwick was introduced. She sang “Walk on By,” among other songs. Of course she is amazing, but it wasn’t really my style. I didn’t really enjoy it.
The next Golden Idol was “best male bonding” and it went to the three cowboys from Hollywood. If you never saw them, they were alright, but not quite good enough. They all found each other in Hollywood and became good friends, and they made a video making fun of them called “Brokenote Mountain.” They actually sounded a lot better than I expected.
Next was a performance by the one and only Prince. You either like Prince or you don’t, but his performance was wicked. It was classic Prince. It was really entertaining. After Prince, Taylor and Katharine sang. Katharine’s dress was so beautiful. She looked stunning. Taylor looked really good too in all black. I can’t believe how many outfits they go through in a night. This is by far the most entertaining finale of all the American Idol seasons.
Finally, it was results time. After a moment filled with tension, Ryan announced the winner of American Idol: Season 5 to be…Taylor Hicks!

American Idol Season 6
JORDIN SPARKS BECOMES THE NEXT IDOL
Tonight’s show takes place at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.
The first performance of the night was Jordin and Blake singing “I Saw Her Standing There.” The song suited both of them perfectly, and it was a really cute performance.
They then went to the video screens as they showed Gwen Stefani live on tour. She sang her song “Four In the Morning” off of her new album. I’d actually never heard the song before, but I liked it a lot.
After Gwen’s song, Kelly Clarkson sang her new single “Never Again.” She performed the song really well, and I thought she sounded amazing.
Following her performance was the “Golden Idols” giveaways, which are basically awards given out to the weirdest and worst contestants of this season’s auditions. It was hilarious to see some of those people again. The winner of the first one was a lady named Margaret Fowler, who was the contestant dressed in a huge yellow muumuu type thing. She was actually at the show, and the whole scenario was so weird. There were more Golden Idols given away throughout the night.
The top 6 guys of the season did a performance also. They were all wearing white tuxes, and their performance was awesome. I loved the way every one of them sounded. After they did their thing for a bit, Smokey Robinson was introduced, and he sang a song too.
An unlikely few, Barry Bee, Doggy Fresh, and Blake Lewis did a performance together. It was definitely an interesting performance, and something I wouldn’t have expected from American Idol. For the first really long part of the song, it was just them yelling into the crowd, which wasn’t very entertaining. Finally, they both started beat boxing, and it was so amazing. It was probably the best I’ve ever heard Blake beat box.
Then it was the top 6 girl’s turn to perform. I didn’t find this performance as good as the boys, but it was still good and entertaining. Joining them later in the song was Gladys Knight who was, of course, excellent. Right after this song was Tony Bennett singing “For Once in My Life.” It was such a heartfelt and cute performance. Melinda sang after, and she was amazing.
Ryan Seacrest announced that the Jordin and Blake would be getting two new Ford Mustangs, which was pretty cool. Right after the they took their new set of keys, Carrie Underwood sang “I’ll Stand By You” again. She sang it during the week of “Idol Gives Back.” I thought she started out really strong, but went a bit flat in some parts. It was still a very good performance though.
Clive Davis was on the show tonight to present a very special award to Carrie Underwood for 6 million U.S C.D sales. He gave quite a long speech on American Idol and its successes. It was pretty boring.
The African Children’s choir, who sang on “Idol Gives Back,” was on the show tonight again. They were so cute, and they all just looked so happy. Sinjaya took the stage right after with “You Really Got Me.” I’m not too sure why they got him to sing again, but I guess it was okay. I just thought it was an odd choice for American Idol.
Greenday was another guest performer on the show tonight. I really liked their performance as well. For the first time since last season, I saw Taylor Hicks perform. I’m not sure what he’s been up to with his music career, but he sounded really good tonight. Another person we didn’t see much of after American Idol was Ruben Studdard, who sang alongside Jordin tonight. They both sounded awesome together.
Up next was Bette Midler singing “You Are the Wind Beneath My Wings.” Kelly Clarkson came back to the stage with a tribute to Sergeant Pepper. I wasn’t a fan of her outfit, but her singing was awesome at least. To me, her and Carrie Underwood are the best winners of American Idol. Taylor Hicks and Carrie also sang again, both with good performances. Ruben also came back to the stage with the top 12 idols.
Finally they announced the winner to be JORDIN SPARKS. I actually had no clue as to who it would be, and either way, I think they will both be very successful.
