American Idol & Dancing with the Stars...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ... season of UPSET! At least that's what some TV shows are calling it. In the Tuesday night Finale of Dancing with Stars , many thought that front runner pair Gilles Marini & Cheryl Burke will take home the Mirror Ball Trophy. Not quite because Shawn Johnson & Mark Ballas snagged it from them. I guess Gilles' fans didn't all rally enough behind him & his partner. Mark & Shawn themselves were caught by surprise but that's what the fans wanted...and so this pair won! How about American Idol ? This is a bigger upset I think. The judges, especially the mighty Simon, openly predicted that Adam Lambert will take home the title but boy was he ever wrong. I guess the Kiss of Curse that David Cook was afraid of getting actually landed on Adam. He was the crowd's favorite for most of the season. But I guess the clean cut, boy next door contestant pulled the biggest surprise of them all...taking the AI title under Adam Lambert...
