Maarten .... I hope next season ( JAN 2207 ??) you'll not wait so long to post your input here !! :D

BTW ...... I missed the final week .....the grand finale sounds like it was jam packed ..... I did see a shot of Chris in the audience from Tuesday (?) on some show and I hadn't realized how much he looked like a freshly hatched baby bird :roll: !!!

I'm still not sure whether to be encouraged or just totally wiped that AMERICA was drawn to Taylor Hicks as their chosen " IDOL" !!!!

In the meantime we in the UK have Mr. Simon Cowell back on our screens doing a celebrity X Factor, as part of the run up to the World Cup! He doesn't appear to be suffering from jet lag and he dresses so much more smartly - the other judges are Sharon Osbourne, and Louis Walsh (an Irish producer)....he is a bit more 'nice' on TV here!!

Some people take this show a little too seriously.

A Plattsburgh, New York man was arrested after hitting his mother with a sharp object attached to a bicycle chain during a heated Idol discussion on May 24, the night of Taylor Hicks' triumph over Katharine McPhee.

According to the Plattsburgh Press-Republican, 24-year-old Cory Favreau was talking with his mother, Jan Chagnon, about the result and took issue with her comment that McPhee would likely have a successful career despite her second place finish.

In response, Favreau allegedly swung his makeshift weapon at Chagnon, cutting her head and sending her to a local hospital where she was treated and released. Alcohol was believed to be a factor in the altercation.

Though Chagnon told police she did not want to press charges against her son, Favreau was arrested and charged with felony second-degree assault and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon. As of Wednesday, he was still cooling his heels in jail for failing to come up with $5,000. He's due in court June 5.

This should serve as a valuable reminder to the rest of the 30-plus million Idol devotees out there--in the end, it's just a show.

It might serve as a valuable reminder to stay away from Plattsburgh, NY! There's not a lot to do up there except argue with your mom about TV!
