(In other words, I l-l-l-l-loved it.)

All that was missing was Cher in a Bob Mackie gown.

And I describe the lastIdolepisode of 2006 (what are we gonna do with our lives?)

Taylor is so, well, counter-Idol, wrote Normie.

Who would play Katharine McPhee PacMan or spoof her onSNL?

He deserves to win.

Other readers were more effusive.

Tam, meanwhile, predicted that Taylor will be a much more funAmerican Idolwinner than Katharine.

Im already looking forward to seeing him on the talk show circuit its going to be a hoot.

Coyotes girl saw and heard Taylor for the first time last night.

She said Im getting goose bumps.

Thats enough for Coyote to know that the Soul Patrol head honcho is the victor.

Which, when you think about it, might make Taylor a better choice as Idol.

After all, any 29-year-old man who can sell Do I Make You Proud?

What do you think?

Was the right person crowned American Idol?

Which contestant do you think will have the most long-term success in the music business?

And what was your favorite moment during the wild and wacky season finale?
