Some more random comments on the Idol finale:

- Chris Daughtry and Live sounded good, but did anyone know that song? I still think Daughtry's vibrato sounds a little shaky and doesn't go with rock music, but I think he can tone it down and have a bright future.

- Kellie Pickler and Wolfgang Puck skits were pretty funny. That girl needs to get out more and see the world.

- Katherine McPhee and Meatloaf. Wow. He looked scary. Hey, Mr. Loaf, when you sing vibrato, your whole body isn't supposed to shake.

- The Golden Idol awards were pretty pointless. Did we need to see Dave Hoover jump around? It was nice to give Elliott's mom an award, and the Clay Aiken moment was scary and funny.

- The boys and girls medley were obviously promotions for the upcoming tour.

- Elliott Yamin and Mary J. Blige was almost painful. I just didn't link their voices went well or complimented each other. At least her vibrato and runs were more skilled.

- Taylor Hicks and Toni Braxton sang "In the Ghetto" and I thought Braxton was weak. You couldn't hear half of what she sang. I think she just wanted to rub up on Taylor, cause that's about all she did.

- Katherine sang part of a Shania Twain song and sounded great - why didn't she do that in the competition?!? I asked that for weeks.

- The Burt Bacharach section was basically something for the older crowd, I'd say. Note - Kevin Covais is not Tom Jones.

- Brokenote Mountain was pretty funny, though I don't think they needed to have them singing live.

- Prince? Where did he come from? I laughed when he walked away from Ryan Seacrest.

- OK, 63.4 million people voted, but you need to stop saying, "That's more than the number of votes for president." Please, stop making that pointless comparison. No one calls in 150 times in a night to vote for president. You get just one vote each for president.
