Top 2: Kara racks it up!

I really don't need to see any more of these faux-awards. It's just sad the delusions that people have about their singing.

But this award was all about bringing Bikini Girl back to sport her itty bitty suit and her new cleavage.

It elicits a "wow" from Simon and the funniest line from Ryan when he says "I was going to ask you what was new, but I think I know."

They really didn't need to let BG sing "Vision of Love,"  but I have to tell you, Kara is a much better singer than she is a judge and kudos to her for flashing HER bikini at the end!

Work what your mama gave ya, Kara!

    OK...so this is the ONLY thing that Kara has done this season that has been entertaining...I'll give her props for working it for her charity! Bikini girl just needs to go...

    Kara has some serious chops and I see a future in porn for BG.

    It was so great to see BG put in her place and to have us reminded that BIG BOOBS do not make you a good singer.

    Kara is so insecure and annoying, but I have to hand it to her for this. Good humor, brave, and great singing.

    Loved it when BG tried to sing Kara. She didn't seem to understand she was being put in her place by the song's writer. How humiliating for BG.

    This was the most entertaining aspect of the show so far and as much as we laughed and hooted at Kara coming out to sing it was 10 fold more when she flashed her bikini as well.

    Kara does have an amazing voice and what a treat to get her to show BG what a truly talented singer sounds like.

    She is so impressive! She finally proved to BG that she is beyond better than her!

    I think it was needed not only for BG but also for AI auidences to see that Kara is there for a reason.

    It is an insult to the female gender to prostitute yourself on national television, but it is nice to see her get put in her place.

    Wondering how much the BG gets for making a fool of herself like that? We all know she wants a piece of Ryan's big $$$$$$, she never was serious about her singing anyway.

    I am so disappointed that Adam did not win the American Idol competition. He CLEARLY has a superior voice to Kris and has so much more stage presence. I know he has a long musical career ahead of him. I don't dislike Kris but Adam is definitely the more talented of the two.

    I have watched American Idol all 9 seasons. However, this will be the last. I can't believe that the powers that be allowed Chris to win out over Adam. Adam was so obviously the better singer and all around entertainer. This was a joke.

    I loved all of the music on the show, but have totally lost all respect and will never watch the show again. It was very disrespectful for all of the children that watch this show especially young girls that will now think that that is what you have to do to get on tv. Also, I am happy for Chris, but this is suppose to be a vocal talent show and Adam is by far the best the show has ever had.

    I have been a fan for 8 years, but will not watch again

    Okey dokey – I may be old enough to be Kara's mom, but I know music and Kara-girl, you totally ROCK – as both a singer, songwriter, AND JUDGE!!!. I'm hoping like mad that the other judges (Simon especially) reconsider whatever petty brouhaha supposedly took place between Kara and the other judges. IMHO, she provided articulate, informative critiques. PLEASE DON"T LEAVE American Idol Kara!!

    This was the BEST finale ever and Kara putting BG in her place was the highlight of the entire night!! I also was applauding and cheering at the TV! All she needed was a little spray tan and she could have taken her dress off and stood next to BG–Kara was ripped!! Way to go–you should release one of your own songs!
