What a special evening. A special evening for special people. I am still reeling from Tamyra's rendition of Our National Anthem. Was it 20 minutes long? I think it was. I think it was 20 minutes long. And it just got more and more ghastly as it went on. It was awe-inspiring. Good choice for promoting the album, I give that a thumbs-up. I was excited to see Camile and Leah again because I am a sick, horrible person. George was wearing a neckerchief. I suspect Kelly had her nose done. I'm sure other things happened. Oh yes! The duet of "I Knew You Were Waiting for Me," of course. What.

One touch and you set me freeeee

I like to think that the happy-go-lucky ghost of Peter Allen came down and kicked Diana in the pants on Tuesday to make her screw up the key change on "Don't Cry Out Loud" so royally. Then I got scared that everyone would feel sorry for her so I actually texted some votes for Fantasia, thereby breaking my promise. Oh Blogue, I reveal all my darkest secrets to you. But it was only five, I think, certainly not enough to go over my free text limit. I figured if Diana won, I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing that I didn't do my part to vote for the better woman. And the better woman won. Which is ... about all you could say for it? Yeah. AND I'D DO IT AGAIN. TAKE THAT OSAMA BIN LADEN

You know, with the crazy (for AI) stuff she was throwing out there, like the Queen and the Michel Legrand and the Bonnie Tyler, Clive Davis would be smart to hook Fantasia up with Richard X or something and see what happens, but we all know he's a creepy old man who would sooner F the whole thing up with Babyface or some crap. Why am I even putting any thought into this? Surely I've gone completely mad. P.S., I just remembered that Richard X is producing stuff for P. Diddy's "electro" album. In other news, the world is ending.

Anyway, I think the best part of the whole series was on Tuesday, when one of the Fantasia guys in the audience was wearing a Kings throwback warmup and Christopher was all like "Ooh, can I vote for him?" That pretty much says it all.
