American Idol, season 8. There were
highs, there were lows. There were moments of laughter, there were
moments of tears. There were moments of triumph, there were moments
of disaster. There were moments you wish would never end, there were
moments that couldn't end soon enough. There were contestants that
excelled, there were contestants that faltered. There were power
notes, there were pitchy notes. There were times when there was a
clear favorite, there were times when it was anyone's game. There
were exciting performances.. There was disappointing performances.
... and then, there were two.
