Finalist Scott MacIntyre rails against 'Idol' for cutting his finale duet

American Idol finalist Scott MacIntyre is sounding off against the Fox megahit for cutting his planned dueling-pianos performance with fellow contestant Matt Giraud from last week's finale. "Perhaps Tatiana and Bikini Girl were more important after all," he jokes in his MySpace blog post. He reveals that the number -- which would've featured the piano men duking it out on Billy Joel's "Tell Her About It" -- was cut just hours before the live broadcast because Joel couldn't appear with them. "According to some of the producers who witnessed our rehearsal, it was the most exciting and memorable number of the entire Finale show," MacIntyre writes. "Over the last few days I have tried to reason this out every way possible, and it makes no sense to me why one of the most compelling and unique performances of the show would be cut simply because the original artist wasn't present." The 8th-place finisher says he was disappointed not to have truly gotten a memorable moment in the finale, but that producers have promised to make it up to him by having him back to perform next season.

Is that the end?

Thanks to everyone for making this season enjoyable.

Thanks to Ellen for her country know-how.

Thanks to all of those Idol watchers who made it clear - posting late is uncivilized.

See ya in 2010!

.....and the winner is:

The 2009 extravaganza!!

Who is the next American IDOL??

Finale

Kris vs Adam: Neither of these guys were on my radar for top 5 let alone top 2. After 5 months, I have to say they both made a difference, took their own path to where we are today. Unlike most seasons, I could careless who wins, not that I am not a fan of either, but that they are both good at what they do and did to make this season one of the best Idols ever.

Adam Lambert

1)Mad World – this was the performance that put Adam on the map. I personally wasn’t sucked in but every blogger, news article and fox special loved Adam’s original performance of this song. Tonight’s dramatic entrance was straight out of a Bootayace concert. The man is an entertainer.

2)Change is gonna come – That was not one of my favorites by Adam but I did get goosebumps – I think it was a Clay Aiken flashback. The wailer made the song his own.

3)No Boundaries – The “winner’s song” has never been a favorite of mine ever. I guess it was good.

Again, It took me forever to get on the Adam train, I tried to get off a few times. The bottom line Adam made this season – Go Adam.

Kris Allen

1)Ain’t no sunshine – Kris’ first performance of the night was throwing down the gauntlet. He was not going to let Adam take the title easily. I don’t believe I liked this performance the first time around but dude has soul tonight.

2)What’s going on – 2 for 2. Simon said it was too laid back for the finale but (I can’t believe I am saying this). Like Adam, Kris did what he does best – stripping a R&B classic and doing what got him to the top in the first place.

3)No Boundaries – What that a young Bruce Springsteen? This show is far from over. If the voting is judged on tonight’s performances…either guy could take it.

Kris was the dark horse - I didn’t see him coming. He fought hard for this thang.

Winner: Based on the season ADAM!

Adam vs Kris

No, I did not call this final 2 back in January but all in all I wouldn't be mad which one takes the crown tomorrow.

Top 3

Top 3 : It’s almost over!!

What a season for American Idol. I would say one of the most entertaining ever. From Nick/Norman to Adam, from Ryan’s 2009 staircase intro to the introduction of Kara ( She has grown on me) and the wasted judges save. This IS American Idol….but...

I am not pleased with the top 3 , but not surprised. The judges predicted an all male finale back in JANUARY!! Hmm scammed again? It is a tv show.

Top 3

The addition of Kara, which added more time the judge chat, we only got 2 performances each instead of the usual 3. Since I don’t have a real favorite this season – it’s okay.

Danny – Dance little sister (Paula’s pick) Paula continues to annoy and confuse. Why this song, yes it was a moderate R&B hit in the early 90’s but a classic example of bad song choice. Maybe it was her favorite – who knows. I left the Danny train weeks ago. I guess it was okay.

Danny – “You are so beautiful” Started out weak, got better near the end. How he made top 10 is beyond me.

Kris – “Apologize” Kara/Randy’s choice. I am still trying to fiqure out why I know this song. Just okay.

Kris – “Heartless” Truly the surprise of the night. I laughed my butt off when he introduced the song. Then my laughter turned to confusion. I Listened to it twice. I give it a B+ for originality but not one of my favorites.

Adam – Cryin – Screaming is more like it. I guess if Steven Tyler can do it so goes Adam. ..just okay for me dawg.
Adam – “One” Simon’s pick- Minus the highpitched wailing, It was my favorite of the night..and that “aint saying much. Kudos for Adam for toning down the rock drag for one performance this season.

Who’s leaving ?? Dare I say Kris?
Anyone else would be a shocker.

Coverboy - Entertainment Weekly May 8, 2009

Love him or not - Adam has made this season's American Idol one of the best.

I am ready..is she?

Tonight..Paula takes the stage. Does she sing? lipsynch, debut her video? She hasn't performed live since Vibeology in the 90's. Can she do it?

Top 4: Rock week !!!

Top 4 : Rock week w/ Slash!!

First the announcement of the idols not being able to rehearse then they switch up and sing duets…this could be an interesting show…but I wouldn’t know because the cable went out …on one channel. Argh!

Thanks to the internetZ, I get to watch the show without having to fastforward through the commercials and judges babble..not it’s my turn to babble on…DJRR style.

Adam (Whole lotta love) – It is so hard for me to decide if I want to stay on the Adam train. I am trying to get off but the train is moving. This night was all about Adam. I always favorited the rock Idols on the show. Bo Bice, Chris Daughtry and David Cook ..who? these fellas aint got nuttin on Adam for the rock title. What else is there to say, the noise, the outfit, the noise, the Elvis lips, the noise. Once again Adam is Adam doing Adam.
Will I buy Adam’s after Idol cd …no!
Is Adam the best singer ..no!
Was Adam one of the most entertaining performers in Idol history ..Hell Yeah. Rawk on!

Allison (Cry baby) – When did Ally become a contender? She too was comfortable with this theme. She did a great job – yes there were other song choices but she made it work.

Danny (Dream on) – If only this was a dream. I am going to steal a line from the net..please put the Go in Gokey and send him packing. I have to say that I didn’t think the song was THAT bad until he went ***there***..the Steven Tyler scream ! The dog covered his ears...that was enough to make me shake my head ...........please. Why?! Why? Hopefully we won’t find out next week. Bye bye bye!

Kris (Come together) – I guess it wasn’t bad. Kris did a better performance then Danny. I am sure he is safe this week. He “aint” the Idol but he made a good run.

The duets were better then I thought they would be. Adam/Ally – perfect rock performance. They had fun with it and I found myself caught up. Great great great !!
Unlike the Danny/Kris performance was like a tag, you’re it. Blah Bland..boring.
Going home??
Who may leave? Adam or Allison (based on prior weeks) Who Should leave? Danny..it’s time.
