The top 2 perfomed in American Idol Season 10 Episode 38. Tonight either Scotty McCreery or Lauren Alaina will win the crown of American Idol Season 10 winner based on America’s votes.
I hope you’ve set your Tivo for half an hour extra. The show’s scheduled to run over by 7 minutes after 2 hours of filler, but American Idol producers aren’t exactly known for their understanding of the concept of either time or DVR viewing.
Going into the first Simon Cowellfree season, I didn’t expect much. Problem is I didn’t even get not much. Jennifer Lopez made something resembling an effort, but Steven Tyler is a waste of a judges’ position. May as well just record him saying “beautiful” and pay him royalties to hit the button after every performance. The lack of any real judging neither helped to weed out the bad contestants nor improve the good ones, while eliminating perhaps the best singer early.
Nonetheless, the show remains #1, although the better and fresher The Voice is the first show in the genre to be moderately competitive and has managed to put NBC on the map for a change. At least Simon will be back in the fall for X Factor.
With 4 minutes left, it’s time to dim the lights. Looks like Seacrest may get done on time. The American Idol Season 10 winner is Scotty McCreery.
