Jordin Sparks Won!

That girl will never go to the grocery store here again without us running after her begging for autographs. Given how gracious she seems, we think she can handle it. Arizona’s finest export is now Jordin Sparks! Blake Lewis was really no match for her. She wiped the floor with him.

As for Bette Midler, what happened to her voice? Who stole it? When did she start sounding that bad? It was rough listening to that performance of “Wind Beneath My Wings” last night.

The Motown folks did great. Then there was Joe Perry of Aerosmith performing with Sanjaya Malakar. Sanjaya didn’t deserve to perform with that kind of royalty!

OK, so we have a couple complaints about the Idol finale. But what is wrong with us? Jordin won; how can we complain? Congrats to Jordin, who sings better than all those other kids, and Bette Midler too.
