As for moments we simply didn't care about, they included Ruben Studdard singing (Clay should've won that season), the boys backing up Smokey Robinson, and the girls backing up Gladys Knight. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band.' Melinda Doolittle's performance with the singer she used to sing backup for - CeCe Winans - was also good, but gospel music just isn't our cup of tea. Highlights of the concert came from Tony Bennett (who despite his age still has a good voice and was alarmingly spectacular), Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood performing the same song she did for the American Idol benefit concert montage a few weeks back, a song by Green Day - my personal favorite band for the record - as well as a tribute to the Beatles' album 'Sgt.

Though we'd much rather have a half an hour results show with the attention going strictly to who was going to win the sixth season, rather than almost make them an afterthought as you put on a concert, we can't act like there wasn't some good singers on and therefore some good performances.

We'd say we are surprised by how the American Idol finale turned out, but when you've watched the series from the beginning, you know all the trappings - namely that there will be a ton of filler, meant as nothing more than to extend the FOX show's runtime, and hopefully stealing viewership from other shows that deserved it more that were running at the same time - Lost, I'm looking your way.
