American Idol 2010

 American Idol 2010 ended tonight with a two hour finale that actually was very entertaining for all fans old and new.

There was an extended long goodbye to Simon Cowell. Also a universe of stars graciously shared the fabled stage with the Top 2 finalists Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze as the clock ticked down to the biggest moment in television since last nights Dancing with the Stars Finale.
The Nokia Theater shone brightly with the likes of Christina Aguilera, Carrie Underwood, Chicago, Janet Jackson plus... General Larry Platt? And yes... he had his pants on the ground.
In a way, you'd never know they were naming the winner as fully 2/3 of the show was dedicated to roasting Simon.
Alot of the previous Idols returned to sing a tribute (No Adam or David Cook) to Simon.
Despite Simon's reputation for no holds barred critics, there wasn't a dry eye in the house when he finally stepped up to say a few words of thanks, his voice quivering with gratitude and emotion. Who knew he had a heart?

The REAL reason for the show finally came back to the forefront and in typical Idol fashion Ryan Seacrest milked the moment for every last ounce of Fox cross-promotional juice.
And the winner is...
Lee DeWyze!
What a great year! Thanks for tuning in!
See you in January for Season 10!

UPDATE: US Small-Cap Stocks Post Huge Percentage Drop - WSJ.com

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--An afternoon freefall Thursday didn't spare U.S. small-capitalization stocks, which posted their biggest percentage drop since last July.
Small-cap stocks fell even more steeply than larger stocks as the slide in major stock measures turned a morning of Greek-debt worries into a flashback of the financial crisis. As investors fled risky assets, the Russell 2000 index of small-capitalization stocks tumbled 26.35 points, or 3.8%, to 672.23, marking the largest percentage drop since July 2, 2009, when it fell 3.9%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, in comparison, ended Thursday down 3.2%.
