American Idol Finale: it all comes down to this

That is most likely how Ryan Seacrest will start the show tonight. For Crystal and Lee 15 weeks of performing will have ended in one of them being crowned champion and, if the past two seasons are any indication, the other will have a recording contract by the end of summer. For them it isn't an ending, it is only the begining. For me and other longtime fans, however, it is the end of an era. Tonight is Simon Cowell's last show as head judge. Depending on if the show can redeam itself, it may also be my last show. As i've mentioned before, the past two seasons can't live up to 7 and frankly, i don't even care who wins tonight. I can look past bad contestants but if they don't wow me when they can bring in anyone they choose to perform, i'm leaving with simon
