He did a lot of media appearances but the third place finishers don't get as many appearances as the others after elimination. Ellen will be on hiatus and some shows will be taking a break since sweeps month is over. One reason I was not upset that Jason went out at #4 is that he got to do a lot of TV and other media appearances and a print interviews. I loved seeing him on Best Day Ever and Best Week Ever and other TV shows. The Idols are up for an exciting week. Good for them. It's nice seeing Brandon Rogers' name on the list.

I am gonna have to delete some of my saved Oprah's with Dr Oz so I have room for all the Idol appearances this week. I do have my priorities.....esp when it comes to Cookie and Jason. I rewatched the finale yesterday and enjoyed it even more (since I knew the outcome). Enjoyed seeing things I missed first time like Jason running after first group number when he thinks his hair is gonna light up and Ryan dancing with the SYTYCD dancers. But my favorite moment is still DC winning and hugging DA during while singlng magic rainbows. Thank god for DVR’s since SYTYCD and LKL will be on at same time tonight!!!

He just seems like a very deserving winner. I just hope his album doesn't suck :) and that BMG doesn't immediately serve him Daughtry's leftovers instead of just letting him be himself.

Wait for You is currently #6 on the Japanese Billboard charts and he appears to be getting a lot of buzz there. I'm not even sure Japan gets American Idol so this is pretty cool. The 3rd place finisher is usually overshadowed by the finalists as far as I remember. I don't think Syesha is getting much press. Good for her if she is. For all you lurkers in Japan:
