The caterpillar does all the work, but the butterfly gets all the publicity.

The finale for American Idol was great. It's really too close to call, but I would give the edge to Clay Aiken. The audience seemed to like him more. They cheered for him much louder after he sang "Bridge Over Troubled Water" than they did for Ruben's last song. Tonight's episode is two hours long. That seems excessively long since most people are mainly interested in the voting results which will probably be announced in the last 10 minutes.
