It's a wrap

The montage of "American Idol" 2005 highlights is running, and soon it'll be time to tally the votes for tomorrow night's show. But didn't this finale feel kind of lackluster? Bo and Carrie were unique as far as "American Idol's" final two finalists go - a country gal and a Southern rocker/soul man. But tonight's performances just didn't rock like they should. Jitters are understandable, but c'mon Bo and Carrie, this was a chance to woo millions of viewers and land a record deal, product endorsements, exposes on "A Current Affair," etc.

I think Carrie will be crowned "American Idol," but she's no Kelly Clarkson. Hey, there's always next year.
