Here are the results of the Rickey.org American Idol 11 Office Pool. Congratulations to all the winners!
Lurker won an iPod Nano. The rest of the Top 10 got gift cards from Amazon
I really did badly this year — the worst I’ve ever done. I placed 101. As usual, picking the winner correctly early is a big factor. Most of the Top 10 basically leapfrogged over the players who had chosen Jessica and were leading through most of the season.
The winners:
Runner-up contract disaster!
The AP reports that the American Idol Season 11 contracts have been altered drastically this year, and one of the most glaring is how the show treats the runner-up with regards to future albums.
Jessica Sanchez could earn as little as $30,000 if she ever gets to record one.
Season 12 is looking so bleak now, I want to cry. Damn you Nigel!
The report:
Wow! What a nail-biter. Sunday Night Football was the top-rated show of the 2011-2012 Broadcast Season with a 7.99 adult rating.
American Idol (Wednesday) was #2 with a 6.16, followed by The Voice with 6.12 — a .04 difference! Modern Family was the top-rated scripted show at 5.54, beating the Big Bang Theory which had a 5.53 (again another close one). The X Factor (Wednesday) was the #10 show with a 4.36.
The rest of the numbers:
American Idol had a projected 6.3 adult rating last night which was down 31% from last’s years 9.2 rating. The show had 21.5 million total viewers down from last year’s 29 million.
It was the lowest rated and least watched finale of the series. Season one’s finale was watched by 23.02 million viewers.
The good news is that we now have more singing shows to watch on TV: Duets, The Voice, The X Factor and to some extent America’s Got Talent. The glory days are over. Long live American Idol!
The rest of the numbers:
And the winner of American Idol Season 11 is…
132 million votes were cast, which topped last’s years 120 million (even if ratings have dropped 25% from last year).
The results:
Jennifer Holliday sang her signature song “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” with Jessica Sanchez on the American Idol Season 11 Finale.
She still has it! She’s the original and forever will be. No one will come close.

Dancing with the Stars had a 3.2 rating and 17.481 million viewers — the most watched show of the night.
America’s Got Talent had a 3.2 and the Glee season finale had a 3.0.

Here are my reviews for the American Idol Season 11 Finale iTunes Recordings.
The winner’s singles for both Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez were very good. I don’t understand why the judges didn’t like Jessica’s. She’s supposed to sing new music right? Did they plan for her to record a Whitney Houston greatest hits album after the show? Boggles the mind.
