A Ray Of Sunshine: "American Idol" Finale

Cool kids don't watch "American Idol" but I am not a cool kid.

Yes, they have hit their share of sour notes over the years but "American Idol" somehow succeeds despite itself.

It starts with Ryan Seacrest, a likable guy and the perfect host.

More important than Ryan, AI can usually find talent. Rival shows are not nearly as successful in this pursuit.

In some ways, the AI comeback was a botched effort. ABC speeded up the format and the new judges were ass-kissers. Still, two major talents emerged. They also happened to be likable people with lovable families. The two finalists revealed that they were lovers and then performed a powerful duet. Watch!

AS GOOD AS IT GETS
