Thank you so much for posting it, I really enjoyed it and it bought back some fond memories for sure. I'm feeling a bit sad now, because I miss them all so much, even Simon (okay, maybe just a tiny little teeny tiny bit). They start to feel like close friends after a while, and when the show is over it's feel like I've lost them forever. I wish the producers see it in their hearts to compile a dvd boxset with all the performances, musicvideos and roadshows so I can have a little something to remember them by.

i couldnt agree more

it was an odd year for AI for me this year...i went into it going "ok, this is just going to be like every single year, where only one or two are good....can we just get to the finale"??? but this year, i had a connection w/
every single contestant...they were (and still are) all stars

and it was like they, and the judges, became 'family' in the sense that we, the viewers, would anxiously await every tuesday to see their performances, and cry (some of us) every wednesday when one was chosen to leave, b/c we loved each and every one of them
this year of AI had to be my favorite
by far not only b/c of Cook

but b/c of the diverse talent that was shown, and their beatiful personalities to go along with that talent
...i doubt that there's going to ever be a better year of AI than that of season 7...i love them all
