Well, it’s no surprise that I am very happy with the winner of Idol 2008, considering I adored both of the final 2. Kevin and Alice gave great performances last night, and the single Kevin will release suited them both well. I don’t know if it’s just because I love the performers of the song, but I do think it’s better than past winner songs such as Right Here, Right Now and This Moment. Coming True is also good, but again it was performed by a favourite of mine, Darin.
Speaking of past Idol contestants, the best bit of last night’s show, and undoubtedly the best thing on TV in any country during 2008 was the opening performance. It was a medley of the hit singles Idol has spawned, each sung by their original singers. This meant that Daniel Lindström, Ola Svensson (with strange hair), Magnus Fagervall, Sebastian Karlsson, Daniel Karlsson, Marie Picasso (with horrible hair), Sibel Recep, Erik Segerstedt, Danny Saucedo, Mattias Andréasson (3rd EMD member), Agnes Carlsson and Darin Zanyar were all on stage at the same time!! I have embedded it here for you to enjoy, and perhaps if you haven’t heard of some of these brilliant acts before you can go and do some research:
