And I can barely type that title with a straight face! Its almost as bad as "Inside Your Thank You America". Almost. So then we pan the judges and Randy is wearing the worst thing I have ever seen on this show - its nearly indescribable, but think Michael Jackson meets your friendly CPA. Paula's nose doesn't look bad at all, but she sounds more nasally than Chris Richardson on his worst day, and then Simon who is back to looking a little yummy.
Blake Lewis - Doing a reprise of "You Give Love a Bad Name" and he used the same amount of mimage as last time, so I am not as freaked out this time. It was alright and I agreed with Randy - the vocals were meh but the performance was great!
Jordin Sparks - Sang "Fighter" and I really enjoyed her FINALLY singing a young song. She did get breathless more than a few times during the song. It was still very good, but more of a performance thing than showing off her vocals that I love.
I am scanning the audience whenever I can for Anthony Fedorov. Still not seen him yet, but the camera did show Constantine pouting and eye molesting. Ugh, it was icky two years ago and it remains so.
Blake Lewis - Sang "She Will Be Loved" and while the song was a good choice for his voice, I was pretty bored. Blake didn't seem all that comfortable with it either.
Still scanning the crowd and YAY I spot Anthony! No wait, its only Ricky Schroeder. I had a little girl crush on him when he was on Silver Spoons, but now not so much. I have a more grown up crush on Anthony and I still can't find him. Damn you Ricky!
Jordin Sparks - Sang "Broken Wing" and reminded me why I love her. This is my favorite performance of hers and now I am thinking I want her to win instead of Blake. Its amazing how things can change over one performance.
Now its time for the Coronation song. And yes, it is as bad as the rest of them are.
Blake Lewis - He really did his best with the song, but you could tell he despised it. I kept getting Bo Bice vibes of "I don't really want to win and sing this crap". The judges all agreed that this song was not a good fit for him.
Jordin Sparks - Did an excellent job with it. The whole vibe from the blue in the background to the flowers on the floor....it was very Disney Princess and cute. This is why she will win.
So, after all this.....Jordin is going to win. Though I am still upset about Melinda leaving last week, Jordin deserves her place.

Awesome recap as usual Spork!! And there isn't much to add since I agree with pretty much everything you said.
I actually kept getting a lot of Season 4 vibes from this finale from it being guy vs girl, performer vs singer, coronation song that suits only one of them, Cake being the new Canthony;P, and Jordin breaking down at the end of her last song a la Carrie. The only difference is that neither Blake or Jordin seemed to be afflicted with the ebola virus or whatever it was that Carrie and Bo were both suffering from by the finale.
The poster on TWOP said that Constanine's handlers kicked out a few seatfillers to get him into the aisle seat so he can have his mug on camera, lol. How desperate can you get ?
I am thinking Anthony was not even in the audience.
I didn't see Anthony either and I was looking hard.
Apparently Anthony was at the Kodak before the show. There is a picture of him there on this blog:

Anthony was interviewed on the TV Guide Channel red carpet show. Towards the end - maybe the last 40 minutes or so.
