Tnight it finally ends. After months of campaigning and preliminary voting filled with anguish and excitement, clashing of warring egos and world views, America will finally find out who wins this thing.
President Barack Obama isn’t actually due in L.A. for a couple more hours but the Commander-In-Chief showed up on the American Idol finale tonight. Acknowledging “not all of us can sing like Kelly Clarkson,” Obama told viewers of the very last episode of the Fox series “all of our voices matter.”
Opening up the jam packed 2-hour end to Idol’s fifteen season run, the President praised Idol for having “transformed television” and, in what must have been a reference to its once stellar ratings, haing “reached historic heights.” Of course, Obama wasn’t just appearing on Idol via prerecorded video to talk about Idol but also to encourage Americans to vote in elections like the up coming Presidential race.
