Much like Scrooge was visited by a ghost of Christmas past, I will spend this blog reminiscing of idols of yesteryear. And in celebration of season 7 finale in the battle of the Davids, I will take us on a trip down memory lane remembering the finales of the past six seasons. American Idol has been around longer than Brangelina and TomKat combined. WTF?

Remember the time that you brought your little tv/vcr combo to my house on Bagot and we had a sleepover with "From Justin to Kelly". You fell asleep, and I watched the whole thing, even though I had not wanted to watch it at all.
Did someone say peanut butter and mint oreos?
