I'm honestly shocked Jessica made the finale, only because I fully expected Phillip and Joshua to run away with it. I mean, Jessica was voted off once, right? Her voting block either got a lot bigger as the other contestants were eliminated or they just started voting like crazy after she was saved. Even though Joshua annoys me to no end, I think he deserved the finale spot over Jessica. I'm a big Phillip fan, but it might be best if he doesn't win in some ways - he might have more creative control over his career if he's not labeled an American Idol winner. I'm thinking back to Lee DeWyze's first post-Idol album, and it was pretty much crap - his pre-Idol stuff is so much better. I really hope that however it works out for Phillip, they let him do his thing and don't try to send him the pop route. I know a lot of DMB fans will buy his music as long as they don't make him sell out and go the poppy route (like they did to Lee).

Anyway, it should be an interesting finale...

I'm not a Phillip fan, but I agree with everything you said (as usual ).

I'll admit, I'm a little suspicious of Jessica's "save". I wouldn't put it past Nigel and Co. to create Jessica's "save" to give the show drama: "She was saved from elimination at 7th place only to come back and win it all!" Nah...I'm not a conspiracy theorist
I like to think they wouldn't rig the show like that, but it did seem kind of strange.  And if I ever find out that they DID rig it, I'll be so mad - they could've used the save on Skylar. smiley: devil
