We have a new American Idol! It took two hours and the second coming of the 1970s to get there last night, but a little after 10 pm, Ryan Seacrest announced that the season nine American Idol winner was none other than Lee DeWyze!There was a whole lot of finale last night, which kicked off with the Top 12 singing "School's Out" with Alice Cooper. I think my favorite part of this performance was their outfits. They were all dressed in cute school uniforms, and I just loved it. Other performance highlights included Siobhan Magnus and Aaron Kelly singing with the BeeGees, Mike Lynche singing with Michael McDonald, and one of the biggest surprises of the night, Casey James singing with Bret Michaels. I seriously didn't see that coming at all.

Of course, the medleys and duets didn't end there. The top six male contestants sang "I Can't Go For That" and "Maneater" before being joined on stage by Hall & Oats, who performed "You Make My Dreams Come True."

The top six female contestants sang a Christina Aguilera medley of "Beautiful" and "Fighter," and were then joined on stage by the pop diva herself. Christina sang "You Lost Me" from her upcoming album, Bionic. She sounded amazing. Definitely one of my very favorite moments of the night.

However, my very favorite non-Idol guest performer of the night had to be Janet Jackson. All of the season nine Idols, minus Lee and Crystal, kicked off Janet's hit song "Again" before being joined on the stage by the one and only Miss Jackson. She performed her newest song, "Nothing" and then put on a full on performance of her huge hit, "Nasty." Personally, I was freaking out, because Janet Jackson is my favorite performer of all time. It was probably one of the best performances out of any of the past season finales of Idol ever. Janet was such a presence on the stage, I seriously sat at the Idol watch party I was at last night in awe while she performed.
