So the finale took place today, and yes, Carrie Underwood won, though I wouldn't have been surprised if Bo had won it instead. When I watched a random episode this season, I happened to catch Carrie singing, and I thought, not bad, this blonde. I'd never have guessed that she'd be the one to win the competition.
But the best parts of the finale were the musical performances (especially when Bo sang Sweet Home Alabama) and that terribly funny video by Paula, Randy, and Simon. I'll never get that image of Paula dancing at the control panel while Randy rapped and head-banged in the recording studio. And that Simon may piss people off, but he sure can entertain in a clever, understated manner.
