With the talk of fans meeting Eber and Leila it occurred to me that I'm not sure how to pronounce their names and I'd like to be prepared, just on the off-chance I should ever be in their vicinity. Having said that, whether I could actually muster up the courage to speak to them is another thing, but at least if I know how to address them it's a start So is Eber pronounced as Ee-ber or Ebb-er and do you say Leila like Eric Clapton's Layla or is it L eela Thank you! Found a youtube clip where Leila introduces herself, so this must be the correct way (she is on 0:45 in the clip)

Mix107.9 Ohio station retired WTTS from it's "mix it or nix it" poll because it won 5 times.. said it goes into the mixitnixit hall of fame now. Also that Adam's had 3 songs in the hall of fame now. I hope by "hall of fame" they mean playlist, on heavy rotation! I guess we'll find out soon. I hope. I'm getting so impatient for something to happen with this song!!

www.rollingstone.com/tv/news/the-lonesome-death-of-american-idol-20160408The Adam references : "But instead, last night's farewell episode just kind of dribbled away, like the final season overall. "Let's do a Bowie tribute, except instead of Adam Lambert or Fantasia, we'll have five folkie bros with matching acoustic guitars bore the living fucklights out of us all" — yeah, that's the kind of brainstorm that might help explain why Idol was finished. It was as dreary as everything "Starman" was rebel-rebelling against in the first place." "It wasn't a gradual decline — as soon as Paula Abdul left, the magic was gone. You could always count on Paula. Say what you like about the "Forever Your Girl" kid, she was excited to be there, getting up to dance or weeping her lashes off or just gushing her own special Paula-ese. You could trust her to tell Jordin Sparks, "You are in great, great vocal voice tonight!" Or inform Melinda Doolittle, "It's awesome when you're fantastic!" Or assure the greatest Idol singer ever, Adam Lambert: "Adam, you dare to dance in the path of greatness!" "" And when Idol had an actual creative force on its hands, there was a night-by-night excitement — especially in 2009, the season Adam kept ripping shit up, with his "Mad World" and his "Feeling Good" and whatever the hell he was doing to "Ring of Fire." And as the "American Dream" retrospective special this week showed, the Simon/Paula personality clash lurched into a weird running debate about our national values, right from the Season One auditions, with Paula making the valiantly nonsensical statement, "I don't think anyone should be told they can't do anything, no matter what!" Simon frowns at that."

Nigel tried to fit in too many Idols and lost them all in the process! The Bowie number was snooze worthy. Wrong choice of guys for Bowie. And I so missed seeing duets with this year's contestants. If I were directing, I would have a few big group numbers to fit in most of those 4-10th place past Idols. Then I would have used the 1-3 past idols in duets and/or trios or small numbers with this year's top 5. The interview with Dunkelman was awkward, as was Randy and Paula. I felt sorry for Ryan!

I didn't watch the finale but have been watching the 'recap' on Good Morning America. No Adam mention, of course, since he wasn't on. Did they show anything regarding Adam, last night? Too bad Fox didn't have a remote interview from RHPS, would have been good promo.

Too bad Fox didn't have a remote interview from RHPS, would have been good promo. Toward the end when they showed a bit about the Ford commercials (just before they gave keys to Trent and La'Porsha), they led that off with a few shots of Adam and a little sound bite from him during his season talking about how much of a learning experience working on the commercials was. That was it.

Love the RollingStone article, exactly my feelings. "Let's do a Bowie tribute, except instead of Adam Lambert or Fantasia, we'll have five folkie bros with matching acoustic guitars bore the living fucklights out of us all" What kind of crap was that? two seconds of that was enough for me!
