Did you notice that Caleb Johnson was on stage for the coronation, but he never had a chance to sing this season. He has an album out I think, but they never mentioned him all season...what's up with that?

I noticed that too.....

Later I saw a tweet from Lyndsey Parker .....

Caleb was suppose to bring the results to Ryan....

For some reason...He did not....so he must have just walked out with the others.....getting some....'face time' [0144.gif]

her tweet....

Lÿndsey Parker @lyndseyparker
A source just told me @CalebJohnson was supposed to hand the winner results envelope to Ryan Seacrest tonight. Gee I wonder what happened...

It looked like Caleb walked on stage at the end with the trophy. I'm pretty sure he's not the first previous winner they've ignored. I kind of remember it happening before.

Yes, Lee was totally ignored and was only invited to sit in the audience. But that's it and usually the previous winner was always invited to perform at least once next season and some others non winners were usually invited too (D. Archuletta, D. Colton for example). It looks like they don't care about promoting previous Idols anymore. It went into Hunger Games and drama from searching and developing talented singers.

I really don't get what are those "positive changes" new management brought except maybe a few current songs. Idol doesn't even feel like Idol anymore. I don't think hiring Per Blanket (or whatever his name) was a good thing for the show.

I'm bummed. I really wanted to see Clark take it. [0132.gif]

I did enjoy Rayvon with Jamie Foxx, though. AMAZING. I also enjoyed Seavey with NKOTB, believe it or not. But that's probably because I'm a big NKOTB fan from back in the day. [0144.gif]

The Rayvon/Jamie performance was definitely one of the best of the night. It's a beautiful song. I also enjoyed Nile with the girls, Rickey with the guys, Quentin/Vance Joy, Jax/Steven, Nick/Andy Grammer. NKOTB with Daniel....Daniel, once again, looked so out of place but for some reason it was actually fun. Maybe it's the fact that all five guys are old enough to be his father. [icon_lol.gif]

I also really enjoyed the Jennifer/Harry/Keith performance.

It was a fun, entertaining night!

It really was. I could have done without all of the Pitbull, though. And Chris Brown. UGH.

I think it's time to put that dog down.

Nice publicity for Jax. [happy.gif]

[quote]Adam didn't win, so therefore, would not be included in that.[/quote]

Well, we *could* include top tens, just to make things really interesting! That way Adam and Daughtry and Jennifer Hudson etc. could get in the mix...

ETA: I don't know why the quote tag isn't working...

Season Eight 2009 Adam Lambert [yes.gif] [thumbsup.gif]
Arguably American Idol’s greatest find in its nine years on the air, Adam Lambert dominated Season 8 from start to finish. His unusual song arrangements, amazing vocals, theatrical performances and rock legend-like stage presence left all the other contestants in his shadow,.......
