The Last Episode Of The Simon Cowell Show

Like the "Lost" series finale, which left many burning questions unresolved, tonight's American Idol "Farewell to Simon"/ Lee DeWyze shocker had the synapses firing, causing me to pose the following unanswered queries to you, o' faithful MRS reader.
Why does American Idol feel the need to pile every season finale with "legends" in the music business?
It's sad when these acts and their decaying voice boxes are outperformed by the finalists they are paired with.
With the exception of Bret Michaels' corpse outperforming Casey James on "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" and Alanis with Crystal Bowersox, every other established artist seemed pathetic alongside their younger, more talented virtual unknowns.
When did Joe Cocker begin to look like Popeye? Does Joe Cocker even like spinach, I wonder?
Who thought it would be a great idea to let Paula Abdul wander onstage without feeding her some whiskey first? A sober, coherent Abdul is no Abdul that I want to see.
What's the deal with Janet Jackson sounding exactly like the King of Pop? If I had my contacts out, I would've sworn that Michael was onstage.
Why did Lee sing U2's "Beautiful Day" after he won, instead of some sappy drek about conquering all odds, climbing the tallest mountain, etc.?
My guess is that last year's winner was so GD awful that the producers were like, "sing whatever you want." He should've sang that acoustic cover of Marilyn Manson's "Beautiful People" that's been floating around.
How awful is it that the highlight of the night (in my mind) was General Larry Platt teaming with surprise guest William Hung for a live performance of the smash hit, "Pants on the Ground"?
Although Alanis/Bowersox was a close second.
Anyway congrats to Lee DeWyze. Poor kid looked like he got kidney-punched when he won.

For me, I'm glad this season is over. And I'm a huge AI fan, but this year was a snoozefest! Thank goodness tonights show was about 1,000 times better. I liked that they had ALL the past winning Idol on there. That was pretty good, and also seeing the others that didn't make it all the way. Paula's face looked a little funny. And I liked that Lee got to sing whatever song. Good deal! I'm a happy camper!
The whole thing was too much "senior year in high school" for me. I watched long enough to see the General "pull em' up", and that was awesome.
By the way I think that is exactly why they have the legends. Just to make their product look better. And I second the Janet Jackson thing... it was eerie.
