9/29 Finale Show Discussion **Spoilers**

[Unklescott]

Hal is eliminated.

Hal is eliminated.

Hallelujah!

[dberk]

I really hope that Lucy does not win. For once, I'd like the person with the most actual TALENT to win, as opposed to the most popular. Nobody that I've ever liked on AI has won... well, except for this year.
<--------------------------------

That is the price we pay for turning a talent contest in to a popularity contest. AI is the only show where the voters having a say makes any sense.

I know... I guess I'm just being an old fart. haha

The winner is: Alfonso
ETA Jai was doing a mini Carlton Dance a second ago.

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dagwood]

Ok, I wasn't fond of the group sing. In fact that first song (Rock Around The Clock) had me holding down the mute button. Loved the Little Richard performance. He actually seemed coherent.

Yay! I am glad to see Alfonso won. Now I can watch the show with ease.

ETA Jai was doing a mini Carlton Dance a second ago.

I thought I had imagined that. Funny stuff. Instead of mocking Lil Richard (who calls it the white boy dance), everyone should have tried to do the Carlton dance. I'm sure Wayne can do it.

I'm glad the best voice won. I can see Alfonso in a Broadway musical, but not as a solo artist. He doesn't have the "look". Lucy has the look, but not the voice. Hal is the whole package, if he stops yelling.

[catgyrl]

What was his reaction? Was he stoked??

[dberk]

Alphonso's charity for the $100k is called "?". It provides kids with deformities the plastic surgery the need.

It was hard to see his reaction to winning, since they dumped a ton of trash (confetti) on them right after the announcement was made.
