if you look closely his eyes look like he hasn't gotten much sleep.

yup! it's one of those things he must prepare bracing on. not getting enough sleep from now 'till who knows when. i just really hope that as he continues to rise to the top, he won't forget to take good care of himself physically and vocally too cause usually rock/alternative singers tend to strain their voices too much. you know what i mean.

Well I'm sure he hasn't.. he had SEVERAL songs to prepare for.. not just the final performance night but for last night as well.. plus, obviously he had the "Love Guru" counseling session (laughed my ass off at that!) and the GH commerical. I'd say his plate was full and it's only going to get worse.. he is the AMERICAN IDOL!

well.. he can surely have a good night sleep now.

I'm not too surprised, knowing that he had only 5 hours of sleep.

And yes, like Rhoda had said, it will only get worse, now that Cookie's the American Idol.
