Gabby's out, and I think that was the right decision.
Leann Rimes coming out to sing with those two girls was cute! They seemed genuinely surprised.
The Katy montage was a bit too much.

Wait wait what did Caleb say? I missed it. They are dating? Holy crap. Did not see that coming
I love this version of Over The Rainbow.
Most achingly beautiful version is Eva Cassidy's though.

Meant to post that Bebe Rexha and the top 3 were a hot mess. So was Miss Patty and Ada. Time has not been kind to her voice.
I am okay with a Caleb win since Gabby is now out. Still hoping Maddie will win, though.

Still hoping Maddie will win, though. Totally agree!! Isn't it cute that they're a couple? That trip to Hawaii was nice then too!! Here we go...... The winner is MADDIE! Yay!! She deserves it. it's nice to have a girl win too.

Wow! Was so sure it was going to be Caleb. Congrats to Maddie.
She sounds super hoarse tonight, though.

Congrats, Maddie! I did not see that coming!! She had tried to calm down the Maddie we all loved so much that I was afraid she had lost herself. We saw it, though again, with her and the children at the school in her hometown and then again tonight with Kermit the Frog. She is just so delightful when she lets herself be Maddie.
Caleb and Gabby will hit Nashville and have whatever success, too. I have little doubt. We will hear their names in the years to come.

It's good to see the top 10 again. We hardly spent any time with them! Ms.Patti LaBelle!!! Turned out that Patti can barely sing anymore, her innunciation is almost non existent & their duet was horrid.

Congrats to Maddie & the Idol voters for avoiding yet another WGWG winner. She was my choice from the beginning & the only one I voted for. Most of the duets were pretty good. Caleb & Darius showed exactly what lane Caleb needs to be in. The Lionel show starter was great, always did love that song. I have to say though the highlight was Cade, Dennis & Gary Clark Jr. killing it. Those cats laid it down.

So happy for Maddie. For some reason I thought Caleb and Gabby were a thing....lol
Would have been happy with either one winning.

Really enjoyed the finale last night. I have to commend the judges ( and producers) for the quality of performers. They looked for good singers in a number of genres....not just a potential money money pop star.
If Miss Patti lost her voice, she also lost about half of her body...I recall seeing her not too long ago on DWTS and she was twice the size she was last night. I saw this tiny lady come out and I did not recognize her.
My money was on Caleb, but happy with Maddie.

The winners for both AI and DWTS were on the ABC morning shows. All three finalists of DWTS on GMA but only Caleb from AI. Gabby was on via electronics which surprised me. Couldn't imagine her not showing up. Maddy was on LIVE with Caleb scheduled for tomorrow. Just the winners from DWTS were on LIVE and both the dancers and Maddy performed.

I also enjoyed the finale. Im glad Maddie won but have been seeing online a lot of people wanted Gabby to win. Different strokes for different folks. They were all talented. But I preferred Maddie. Either way as a whole I enjoyed the "new" American Idol. Looking forward to next season.

Is the show going to have the same three judges next season?

I think so. I hadn't heard of them making any changes to the judges.

Katie might calm down, but all in all I was pretty happy with our judges. I thought they did a good job with the kids, they tried for the most part to be as kind as possible and to give good advice. In addition, all three were performers telling the kids stuff from the performing end which is exactly what they needed to hear.
Again, I would like to see less time shown on auditions and more time shown on the show itself. We saw these kids, but those tuning in for the show didn't. Also, we were axing them right and left - way too fast. I felt like I was watching the Bachelor and the speed dating where they cut so many at a time.
Last, I always liked (though sometimes it was hard for them) the times when the finalists had to sing the song the 3 judges picked for them. I tried to be fair, but I was pulling for Maddie because she was whatever hat she put on....and she sang it well. That said, I worried for her because I felt she played it so safe the last night. Everything was so bland and so un-Maddie. I felt like if the judges had picked a song for her, we would have seen something much like she sang during auditions. Therefore, I hope they will go back to that feature.

Don't know if anyone saw Maddie's interview a couple of days ago, but she said she was able to see the winner's name on the card before Ryan announced it. LOL

I did! It was on Kelly and Ryan and Ryan almost fell off his chair. I thought Kelly's jaw would unhinge she opened her mouth so wide. Really funny. (rofl)

I read that Caleb actually saw the winner's name first and from that point on had his gaze fixed on Maddie to see her reaction. She saw it a bit later than he and had more of a poker face.
