Do I Make Ya Proud?

A big congratulations to Taylor Hicks, the new American Idol.
Although my sources reveal that Mr. Nice guy has let the fame go to his head rather quickly, I'm willing to give him another shot. Innocent until proven guilty I say. Evidence A: I may have been singing along to "Do I Make You Proud?". Just Saying. Moving on.

Best moments of this unbelievably hyped and crazed phenomenon that had the streets of Hollywood blocked off were:
Elliot and Mary J Blige bringing it on. She pretty much took over, but still. I got chills.
Toni Braxton trying to sing but barely uttering a sound.
That Clay Aiken kid and his spasm attack reaction to seeing his hero emerge from the huge screen. Priceless.
Clay Aiken looking like a woman.
Simon in a suit.
David Hasselhoff, CRYING, in a subconscious cross promotion for America's Got Talent. Oops, that's on a different network FOX.
Meatloaf and the.. handkerchief?
Paris, Lisa and Mandisa. The new earth, wind and fiyah. Bam.
That stripper girl who won a golden idol for Idols Gone Wild or whatever that was.
Kellie Pickler eating snails.

'till next time.... SOUL PATROL!! WOOO!!(Now repeat 100 times please)
