American Idol Recap: The Final Moments of Season Eight
This season of American Idol started with a girl in a bikini and ended with a bona fide surprise ending. So in some ways, Wednesday's two-hour finale — which packed in performances from Cyndi Lauper, KISS, Queen, the Black Eyed Peas, and all of the year's top 13 — was the perfect culmination.
You're already telling me what you think of the winner, but what did you make of Wednesday's blowout finale?
American Idol: And Now, Some Words From Kris and Adam
So how does it feel to be the new American Idol? The word on Kris Allen's lips when he stopped by the Idol press room a couple of minutes ago was "shocked": "I felt shocked almost every week that I made it," he said. "And to be the American Idol, I'm completely shocked."
American Idol: David Cook Takes the Crown
Depending on your perspective, the American Idol finale is either the best two hours ever or the most excruciating two hours of your year. Either way, it never fails to be a kind of crazy, psychedelic blend between a televised award ceremony and a giant Ford commercial that brings the season's contestants back to the stage for one last time (until the tour that is).
America smashed all Idol records with 97.5 million votes, 56 percent of them for David Cook.

American Idol Finale, Part One: The Battle of the Davids
Well, the American Idol finale showdown between the Davids did not disappoint. The show opened to what would become a rather prolonged metaphor for a singing boxing match of sorts, complete with the Rocky theme song, Michael Buffer, and shiny robes! Tension was high and it felt like anyone's game heading in before the singing started, especially after young Archuleta faltered last week.
Who Will Be the Next American Idol?
We're down to the two Davids after weeks of competition and, just like last year, I actually think we have two good, different options on our hands with these finalists. Will it be the squeaky clean kid with the pretty voice, or the rock-and-roll bartender with a knack for turning any song into his own?

Miss the Ending of "American Idol"? Here You Go
So if you're like Pop and me and your DVR cut off right after the lame Sgt. Pepper tribute on the "American Idol" finale last night, here's the clip of what you missed. For the record, I was right on all of my predictions of what happened, except there was no weepy Hasselhoff this year — just Jordin's tearful parents, which almost made me cry at my desk just now.

Do You Care About Post-American Idol Albums?
The music industry has been in a tizzy ever since Adam Lambert left the American Idol stage — remember that Rolling Stone cover? Well, Lambert is releasing his debut album next month, along with fellow AI alum Kris Allen, and just today his newest song, "Time For Miracles," leaked online. (Listen here.)
The track is for the upcoming film 2012, but I'm admittedly feeling a little meh about it.
