The live feed just went off. 15 minutes to showtime. (I added to my post, above. The evil Simon was interviewed.)

Well, that's good! Apparently, Simon always "predicts" the correct winner on the red carpet.

Slezak is also live-blogging on EW.com. Funny stuff!

Off to watch the beginning of the show!

LOL at the judges, it was time they laughed at them, dawg.

It's weird seeing Ryan with a microphone.

And yay (I guess) for white outfits and pointy pose on "So What". They made poor Scott dance again!

Aw, David. I didn't expect to cry this early in the evening. Will be buying the performance.

Shame it was followed by the horrible auditions, but Norman Gentle is still funny. His 15 minutes are up though.

Good duet between Lil and Queen, I enjoyed it.

Are you there, ross?

Message to Danny Gokey from Keith Urban and Kris Allen: That is the way you duet with somebody.

Ah, Mraz! How I love your golden voice! He must be tired of I'm Yours though! And it was weird to see him without his guitar. Great harmonies by the Idols.

Kris! He was awesome with Urban, he sounded great! And he seemed to enjoy performing with Keith Urban.

I thought that Mraz number was unnecessarily Idol-cheesy. They should have had him duet with somebody. Love the song no matter how many times I hear it. The group already sang it once this season, right?

Kris was awesome! I can't wait to play that back. He sounded like a total pro. And looked like one too. It's been a while since he's been that relaxed (pressure is off, I guess!) Wow.

I can now totally see him doing that type of music and I would have no problem with it...sometimes. I mean, as long as that's just one side of what he does. Not all he does. Not that he's asking me.

Simon will never, ever get what's great about him, will he? (Ha. Who cares?)

Oh, no country music for Kris please! I thought he was awesome with Urban, but I wouldn't buy that song!

Fergie and the BEP. Ugh. Hated all the songs they did. Why is their current single so popular? I don't understand.

Bikini Girl? I could've done without. Kara pnwed her on the song. And wo, Kara in a bikini, didn't see that coming (not that I needed to see it either).

And yes to Mraz dueting with somebody, it would've been better. He's not a big enough name I guess.

Kara and bikini girl.

You know, I was just going to write how much I liked Kara's voice, and that I had new respect for her. I was going to say: if she can sing like that she has a right to judge people. Then she strips.

Okay, for charity, whatever. I feel like she just can never make a right move. I want to like her but she's so...I don't know.

Danny really damaged his voice on rock night, I think. Idiot.

Talking to the parents...I also think they should talk to Kris's wife once in a while.
And while they're at it, Adam's boyfriend.

The Allison/Lauper duet was just OK for me, for you.

Love the Allen/Lambert parents.

Danny didn't actually try to upstage Lionel Ritchie, wow! It was a good fit, the two of them together.

Yes, Kara is a better singer than I thought.

That song was more country rock, than country. To me, anyway. I can see him doing things like that in a concert encore. I just thought it really freed him up.

Adam's Idol journey. Did they cut the wink? When Kara said: Are you are next (wink) Idol? I think they cut the controversial wink.

It was kind of sad when they showed Kris's "Idol journey" and they couldn't even find any truly amazing judges' comments for him. Judges...grrr.

Kiss/Adam...what is there to say?

By the way, I hope they both are still going to get "surprise" duets. Because if that with Keith Urban was Kris's big moment...well, let's hope not.

We still have Tatiana to look forward to...

SleepinIn...?

The Allison/Lauper duet...that was just okay, dawg. In fact, to be honest, for me, Allison in general is just okay. But don't tell her legions of adoring fans.

The Ford video...is that the only time we've heard Adam and Kris duet? Why? They sound great together.

I'm still hoping for a Kradam duet, it should happen! It has to happen, they sounded awesome in the Ford video. And yay for new cars!

Steve Martin playing banjo. Heh.

I'm starting to be nervous about the results, it's getting closer now.

Black Eyed Peas...Fergie...I'm late replying to that one. I hear BEP on the radio a lot and not sure if I like that song. Fergie...well, easy on the eyes, anyway.

New cars! Yay! Too bad they're Fords.

I'm getting nervous too. Butterflies.

Rod Stewart group number...American Idol is so not designed for Kris! I'm amazed people recognized quality and voted him all the way to here. I mean, the group numbers (for instance) aren't for him, he doesn't have the cheesily powerful voice and he's not all "look at me!" -- not a camera hog. He's the real deal. So cool.

Wow, the whole segment was awkward. Was Rod Stewart drunk? His voice is pretty shot anyway.

And of course, they were going to bring back Tatiana. The whole stint was arranged of course. Mere moments before the results, it shouldn't be about the trainwreck that is Tatiana.

Better be a Kradam duet after the break.

Queen...

Skewed to Adam's vocal style, a bit? Who were all those people onstage? Were they former contestants?

This show is all about spectacle. You know, a True Colors (Kalan/Theresa) type duet would have been better. Not that song itself (!) but, something more, I don't know, touching? Intimate? I'm a sentimental guy. This show is so typical Hollywood.

Surprisingly nervous. Maybe it should be no surprise.
