As if there was any doubt, Jordin Sparks, all 7-foot of her, won American Idol’s final show and as a result, will instantly become a millionaire and popstar diva. She beat beat boxing dude Blake Lewis for the crown, but that wasn’t any shocker. I think everyone just assumed Sparks would win based on talent and the fact that she doesn’t beat box which is, let’s face it, a really stupid thing to still be doing in your ’20s, Blake. But hey, they sure squeezed that final episode for all it was worth, didn’t they? Two hours of singing. Wow. I didn’t know I could waste 2 hours that badly, but there it was.

Wednesday’s American Idol Results show eliminated Melinda Doolittle, leaving between a duel between beat-bopping dork Blake Lewis and 7-feet tall giant Jordin Sparks. In case you haven’t been watching the show, Melinda has been Simon’s favorite since forever, and she was a former back-up singer (say goodbye to the back-up duties, baby?) who has since come up front. The girl’s got great vocals and should get signed pretty fast. But without the American Idol machine behind her career, who knows where her career will end up. Now it’s Blake Lewis vs. Jordin Sparks. WHO YA GOT??
