Smokey was awesome as was Gladys Knight, Melinda and Lakisha! I loved Blake and Jordin in the opening number too. It was very cute.
I know you dislike Sanjaya's singing but sorry guys - he stole the show. You can scream and rant all you want but he was the entertainment this season. That is why he was the ONLY one of the top 10 to get a solo other than Blake and Jordin! I believe the only one ever in the history of AI for a 7th place finisher to get a solo! I don't care if you hate him or not, he withstood intense criticism, and a lot of hate for a 17 year old young man. I think AI knows that 6 weeks after he was voted off, he is still the most talked about idol ever. Something changed tonight on the AI message boards. When Sanjaya sang with Smokey and the rest of the top 5 guys, non fans of Sanjaya started posting that WOW, you could hear him and he sounded good. So, while you can continue the bashing, other people are giving him a chance.
I liked Taylor Hicks singing tonight, too. I hadn't really heard him before.

You are not alone in this. Let the others bash him. Who cares??
