Dishin’ The Dirt: We Have a New American Idol!

American idol has crowned their newest winner!!! And yes, I FEEL a way about it! But before I dive in, let’s make fun of the other aspects of the show.

Where do I start?

The stage they used was the same exact venue they used all cycle long...Usually they do huge audience packed places like The Dolby theater, but instead, they opted for, I assume, the inexpensive option.

The “star studded” line up for the finale included celebs like Nick Jonas, Patti Labelle, Bebe Rexha....And Kermit the frog....Yes, Kermit the frog. However, the best performances were by the judges, Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan and Katy Perry. Catie Turner finally had her duet with Katy and it was honestly the best moment of the night. YES, even better than the crowning of the winner.

And now when the final 3 turned to 2, I was once again, WRONG as to who was going to go through. Usually the idol with the most followers and TV time gets the crown, which was Gabby, a contestant that had the lead singer from JOURNEY the night before say her rendition of his song was the best he had ever heard...but surprisingly she got eliminated, and she immediately looked upset (lol).

The final 2 performed “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” and had revealed that they were actually a couple *cue crowd aww’s* I didn’t believe Caleb made it to final 2 buuuuuuut...This was pretty cute so I’m ok with it!!!

Now...I wasn’t gunning for this person to win, but ultimately, she’s so quirky and different that I’m happy they won. Check out the awkward yet incredibly epic reveal here!
