If you want to skip to Part 3 of my three-part writeup, here is the link: PART 3 - Other Highlights

8:05: Top 13 perform "Born This Way." DAMN! Pia is hot! They are better harmonizing their voices now as compared to Top 6 Night.
8:10: Star World botches it by showing Star Movies' "Last Action Hero." Am I the only one who is experiencing this?
8:11: Carrier commercial. Why would you need a stylized airconditioner? I think if they are going to add some style to an A/C unit, they should just have it customized to how your room looks like
8:11: James Durbin performs with Judas Priest. He does his awesome raw, high-pitched howl. Reminds me of how he impressed me with a Judas Priest song early on the season.
8:14: It feels weird seeing Randy Jackson with the sign of the horns
8:15: Randy Jackson(in his montage): "What show is this?" Uhh, Randy, you've been a judge for TEN YEARS and you still don't know what show you're in? No wonder you are one of the worst judges this show has. Even a drunken Paula made more sense than your biased, inconsistent judging.
8:16: 'In it to win it' abuse. Too bad, there's no NBA game showing yet as of now.
8:17: Ryan Seacrest (to Randy Jackson): “We got to get you a new writer.” HAHAHAHAHA!
8:20: Thank God, Jacob was not self-indulgent on that performance. Good performance all in all.
8:26: Two comedians singing... Jack Black and Seth Rogen...oops... it was Casey Abrams! Either way, he can always be mistaken for a comedian because he is so darn funny.
8:30: Why is it just now that Pia decided to dress sexy?
8:30: Damn, Thia's tone is really beautiful. I mean her voice. She's a minor. Sheesh
8:32: HEYYYY!!! WTF?! Star World botches it again by showing Star Movies in the middle of the show. Stop pimping Arnold. He had bad rep this week. This live forecast is horrible.

8:41: This Steven Tyler montage reminds us why he has been this year's best judge (that's not saying much) even if he has horrible judge critiques (Randy and JLo defeated him in being worse by being blatantly manipulative). Steven is so damn hilarious.
8:41: HALEY!!!
8:44: Haley gets her nth and longest standing ovation of the season. We should rename standing ovations to Haley Reinharts.
8:45: Jennifer Lopez montage. You know she is not a good judge if her best quality is to have people remark how beautiful she is.
8:47: It suddenly feels like grade school/high school all over again. I love these R&B songs (No Scrubs, Waterfalls)
8:50: I thought Scotty was going to sing a Kris Allen song (Live Like We're Dying) when Seacrest announced the song name. I misheard it (it was ‘You Were,’ not ‘We’re’). It would have been hilarious because he will be the 4th ‘White Guy with a Guitar’ winner.

9:00: HAHAHAHAHAHA
9:00: Ryan Seacrest says that the guy who will perform next was someone who’s behind the scenes all season long. Is Jimmy Iovine going to perform? That would be hilarious. VFTW Vic... damn, Marc Anthony?!!! Oh, OKC-Dallas game is starting. Time to switch channels
9:02: Commercial break in BTV just right after I flipped channels. I am stuck with watching Marc Anthony. Yuck.
9:05: Casey Abrams: "I suck (after elimination). Then, they saved me. Then, I got eliminated. I suck again." This segment is hilarious with the James and Casey banter. Pia showing up at the end was the icing on the cake. This year will always be memorable for the shocking eliminations.
9:14: Great performance by the boys and Tom Jones. Damn, he is very old now. Jacob Lusk is back to being a great singer (something he forgot to do since he asked America to look at themselves in front of the mirror). Judges give the boys a well-deserved Haley Reinhart.
9:20: Lauren studies in McKinley High? Scotty studies in Dillon? Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose!
9:21: Giving the car keys to their teachers is better than them receiving them...oops, Scotty and Lauren can still get to choose their Ford Truck. Hee Haw!
9:24: She's weird but Lady Gaga is really a great performer. Great voice... OK, the outfit sucks. Then, the performance gets weirder. I am not watching this. I'll just listen.
9:31: Carrie Underwood and Carrie Underwood v2.0
9:34 Poor Lee... He is just in the audience instead of performing in this finale
9:35: "They're children." - James Durbin (referring to the Top 2)
9:39: Second Beyonce performance. Might as well have her perform twice for the money they're giving her.
9:47: “Idol” really cashed in a lot this year. They got Bono! Bono and the Edge performs. What if Haley sings a song about their band name? B-B-B-Bono and the Edggggggggge... OK, that was lame.

9:57: Forget about the pitch. I am giving Steven a Haley Reinhart.
10:04: And your American Idol is... YESSSSS!!! Scotty McCreery!
10:05: Scotty stop hugging and start singing. I know you love them this BIG.
All in all, this was an incredible season for “American Idol.” I have it at the Top Three. However, I understand if you think otherwise. Several Pia fans were disgusted. Female fans who chase pop boy band type of singers were disappointed (only Stefano was legit). Scotty was not the typical white guy with a guitar contestant because he sings country songs that are so different to pop music. But if you like old school music, chances are, you liked this season’s bunch.
To be continued...
