I watched every single episode of this year’s show and was really torn between who should win – Crystal Bowersox or Lee.  They both were fabulous singers but with completely different styles.  Lee really started coming out of his shell the last few weeks and won the audience over with his shy personality and his great vocals.  After seeing him today work the crowds, he really does seem like a genuinely nice guy. I’m happy for him that he won, and I have no worries for Crystal whatsoever.  She’ll go on to also have a stellar career as well.

Brody – the man in the middle – was the winner of the day’s first show at American Idol Experience.  He’ll go on to compete in the finale show.

And finally, I became a photo-journalist of sorts today – when WESH picked up my TwitPic from the parade.  Pretty cool!

American Idol Class Reunion

 

All 7 American Idols at Disney World

The all-new American Idol Experience opened today to guests at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.  The media premiere held Thursday night brought together all 7 former Idols for the very first time.  What a moment for American Idol fans!  I include myself in that group. I’ve watched the show since day one. 

Some of my favorites from the night:  Jordin Sparks, David Cook (of course!), Melinda Doolittle, Carrie Underwood.  And Paula looked darling her her little pink and blue tutu dress.I’m an AI junkie.  So it was definitely thrilling for me to be standing on the sidelines of the motorcade watching so many of the idols parade down Hollywood Blvd at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

 

Stunning Carrie Underwood

Jordin Sparks is all smiles!

Both Jordin Sparks and Carrie Underwood were fan favorites. Carrie was gorgeous, petite and so gracious meeting with her fans.  Jordin was more beautiful in person and had such a big smile.  It was fun to watch the fans take self-photos with the Idols.

Ryan Seacrest - I really like him.
