(Frozen extremities are the only explanation for why you would not dance to that song.)
Below, my take on the best and worst of the broadcast.
Feel free to weigh in and add your own.
(And that Id admit it.)
Its happened both times Ive live-blogged anAmerican Idolfinale.
Last night, it occurred immediately, when I saw that 5 (or 10) oclock shadow.
Ill also admit that I was sober.
Worst: Solanges yellow eyeshadow.It wasnt so much the color, as it was the solid streak.
Dick: Ryan in from the cold.
I speak from experience.
Worst: Realizing how much time Ive spent wondering if those backup Pussycat Dolls ever sing live.No?
(That girl lives for a mid-performance costume change.)
They watchedDick Clarks New Years Rockin Evetogether last year on the couch, while making cakes.
But she wasnt half bad in her role as roving fluff reporter.
(Kellie to Times Square Alliance president Tim Tompkins: Now, Tim, tell us about the confetti.
Whats different about it this year?)
Best: The sheer number of performances during Fergies Hollywood party.Ne-Yo, Jesse McCartney, and (surprising?)
showstopper Natasha Bedingfield hit the right notes for me.
(They also shouldve made Josh Duhamel make an appearance on-camera.)
Best: Seacrests reaction to the first use of the Scope Kiss Cam.Go!
Worst: Paris Hiltons taped message wishing Dick and Ryan a happy new year.She referred to thembothas legends.
