So we know Elliot is now there I am waiting to see Kris and Taylor   Has anybody heard if Clay has shown up?  Oh I saw on Scott McEntire's page he would he at the finale.  Josh Gracin will not be able to be at the finale Jasmine Trias is going to be there

Shannon

Phillip himself has confirmed he will be performing on Idol finale!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG I love Chris.  My absolute favorite idol ever.
I so prat he takes Dalton under his wing.

That sure would be awesome Hathor.  What a fabulous mentor he would be for Dalton!

Okay this one brings tears to my eyes because it's not just the show is ending, it is that these guys have become such good friends and now have to part to go on with their lives.  Praying that life brings them back together often.

Anthony and Jazzy,(Jasmine)!


Taylor is there now.

If I don't get some Kris goodness soon i will scream.  He has to be there by now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey I just found this.  I pray this means David is there.



David is there this is from his twitter.  So happy  



Season three love George, Jazzy and Latoya!


Eta: I don't miss Simon at all.   He was cruel!

Shannon

That sure brought back memories, both good and bad!  The line of the night for me was about Nigel 'he likes to play mindgames ...........' isn't that the truth!  

FC, I like to think the both Dalton and Trent are nice guys or they wouldn't have connected the way they have.

That is awesome that Archie is there!

Tonight's show was wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trent wrote that comment so I commented on Trent.  Trent is close with Mac too and Mac is close with Dalton too so my guess is all 3 guys are sweeties - which I said all along!  Don't recall any kind words regarding Mac from certain people

Dalton's good friend WillJay posted this tonight..........

willjaymusicso I was bored & decided to go through my Dad's phone camera roll. To my surprise/dismay, there were quite a few selfies but I found this picture of @daltonrapattoni & I at his house back in Texas. To think that tomorrow he's going to perform for the finals of American Idol just confirms what I've known for a long time: this guy is one of a kind. seriously, who else that would sing Phantom of the Opera with an acoustic guitar & make It's Gonna Be Me a love ballad?
Time and time again the judges & audience alike have praised him for "Daltonizing" songs, which he has done masterfully, but there's so much more to that than creative song arrangements. "Daltonizing" a song is seeing someone who performs like it'll be their last time on a stage & who sings lyrics like it's their therapy. whether he wins or not, you all are the real winners because you got to witness the start of a very special artist. I have as much idea as you all do about what he's going to do next musically but I have no doubt it's going to be epic.
Dalton, I honestly couldn't be more proud of you. I can't wait to watch you in the audience tomorrow & especially can't wait for you to answer your phone again when all the Idol craziness dies down. here's to more music, more laughs, as well as more of actually seeing you in LA because if you don't move out here we have a problem. congratulations on everything 😃

That was a great show tonight. For us who were on the Idol boards it sure brought back bittersweet memories. They should never gotten rid of the Idol Forums. So many people watched the show and were on the Idol boards at the same time. After they stopped the boards viewer ship declined a lot.

I am glad I'm off tomorrow and Thursday as I love to watch the early edition and chat with the many friends I've made over the years. I may have to have my ipad and be on the desk top so I can chat with some friends from twitter who aren't on anything else.

I hope they have the Red Carpet online so we can see it.  Such a big day tomorrow.

FC, I just don't know what to say ......... tomorrow and Thursday are going to be bittersweet days for Idol fans.  Some of us have favourites going for the title and if they don't go through or win, that will make it more bittersweet.  I just hope these kids enjoy this experience of a lifetime as much as they can.  They are part of television history.

And some of us lost our fave already........

Just wanted to make sure everyone knows... They're here!

Trent Harmon - Falling
La'Porsha Renae - Battles
Dalton Rapattoni - Strike a Match

LaP's is very much a coronation song!!  I think they expect her to win.

Trent's is country.  I like it.  Don't love it yet but only a sample it is hard to tell.

Dalton's is good.  Very Dalton.

At this point I am not buying any of them though.  Need to hear all of them.  Well, not buying LaP's no matter what  

So only Mac was going to get one of his originals for his coronation song.  They sure had faith in Roses!!

Dalton and Trent really bonded these past few weeks.  They have a very special friendship.  Trent has said Dalton is his best friend.  That says a lot.

Off to find Strike A,Match.  Must hear it.

Rose's s a wonderful song. They would of been fools not to let Mac release it.

Going to get that for sure.

Love his peroformanc on Kelly & Micheal.

Tonight's show was wonderful. So many moments that made me cry. I wish it had been longer and we could have heard more. It was great all the way around. I'm really going to miss this show, all the manipulated BS and other crap aside it's really brought each one of us so much. I'm going to be a balling mess on Thursday.

Yay I'm so glad David and Anthony are there!!! I'm really disappointed Josh won't be. I was so looking forward to seeing him again. Oh well......

Are my post not showing up???  Sheesh it is really fun to get ignored

Never heard of any of those songs that were posted for the top three.

Trent and Dalton very sweet friends.  Hoping they will keep it going after Idol like George & Jennifer, Ruben & Clay and so on did.

Mac getting to record Roses is huge for him FC I will buy it.

Watching that retrospective it killed me watching when Jennifer went out and that is because I knew they would show the HUFF     That was the first season they pulled that crap of making someone pick the top group.  George just happened to be their test subject and that is why it got called the HUFF.  Anyway seeing George again so upset about his best friend going broke my heart for the second time.  He seriously was distraught after that no one could calm him down.  It took Jennifer going to him and telling him he needed to do this and she would be okay,(in the clip they showed on the show you see him in tears and Jennifer talking to him.  That is when she said what she did.  Also the look on John Stevens face killed me cause he felt responsible.  The poor guy got death threats after that and it was so not fair.  It was not his fault at all.  Lots of Adam which was cool but I wish they would of not shown Kris at all if all they were going to show is him beating Adam.  I say this cause people trash him constantly as is and now showing only that of him without showing any of his top performances just puts out there that the underdog beat out Adam and it is going to continue the crap.  So not fair.  Kris has been doing all what was said on the show he has been using the platform he was given from the show and he has been working his ass off since Idol ended,(just like Adam and others).  He hasn't used he won the show to get his career he has gone and put the work in to make a career.  Seriously right after he had the accident and his very first wrist surgery he went on tour.  He now says he knows he should have canceled some dates but at the time he didn't want to let down fans and he said he needed to continue working.  If anything he was doing what American Idol ask and that is to do what you have to to have a career in this business.  The Kris part was the only part of the show that ticked me off.  Loved all the stuff on Kelly and Adam.  Ending on Kelly's Piece by Piece was great.

Angel, they are new songs. New songs given to them as their coronation song.

I see all your posts. Thank you for all the pictures.

Shannon

Here it is Teddy.  Season 8 love.  Allison looks so gorgeous.  Kris and needs to smile in his pics.  He is gorgeous but he gets shy or something ad goes for the cheeser cheeser face.



Did I call it or what people are talking of the Kris part on Mj's and he is getting dissed but thankfully there is some defending him.  Some are actually saying the show was really disrespectful to him on this retrospective cause it was pretty much throwing shade,(whatever that means), on him.    I will not be going to any other boards for a few days cause I bet super cyber stalker Kerry Kolsch is out in force after this.  I do not want to see her hate.

This was one of the post in defense of Kris:

*****************
Maybe I'm being overly sensitive, but to me the way they framed that last segment when they were talking about how the show doesn't guarantee a career, they were suggesting Kris doesn't have a career.
***********************

Here is another to go with the above post:

You're not being overly sensitive. They flat out disrespected Kris.
********************

Someone says they had to show someone but it didn't have to be Kris the one that beat out Adam.  They could of freaking showed Candace who's cd didn't do well and hasn't made another cd.  but no they picked Kris for a reason            Eta: Kris is still a Platinum selling artist cause of Live Like Were Dying and his net worth is over many of the winners so he has a career and has been doing great even though he is not over Adam. After seeing the disrespect for Kris in that retrospective I seriously was thinking of not watching the rest of the season but I like Trent and Dalton to much and want to see them and root them on and even vote. Also I love the Idol Alumni too much to not watch the end. It is not any of their faults the Idol big wigs and others are disrespectful ass hats who don't care about others feelings,(eta: one reason Josh Gracin is not going to be there is he feels disrespected by the show. He doesn't feel they care about the idols and only promotes their faves,(he is not wrong),, broke my heart when he released his second cd on the day they did country week and they did not even mention his cd as being out. It was sad ).. That has been a peeve of mine with the show and one reason I stopped watching in the first place. Anyway guys even though I am ticked I will be voting Wednesday night so no worries on that front.

Paula Abdul tweeted this tonight    she just forgot to put Anoops name

I put the links right up there for everyone!!

Thanks for all the pix Angel!!

I really do not think the talk about working hard after the show because winning doesn't guarantee a career was purposely directed at Kris.  Just in general since many winners have not had a successful career and some who didn't win did.  I think they just used that footage because is one of the biggest non winners to have a really successful career was Adam - who was on the show a lot last night.

Kris does work hard and his new album is stunning!  I love every second of it!

Bummer about Josh....

So I wonder how tonight works. Will all 3 sing all their songs?  Will number 3 just sing one and gone?  They kinda need to let people know early on so they do not vote for the one leaving 3rd.  Will voting not be allowed until after the show like it used to be?  These online voting sites have let us vote before the show was over and the person got the boot.   Should be interesting.....
