...late to the party. Been out of town (and gigging a lot) and didn't even get to watch the recorded show until Sunday.

I can't think of a better finale than what they ended up with. I enjoyed everything except the Black-Eyed Peas...and Rod Stewart was drugged up or something - he kept tripping on stage.

Other than that...Queen, KISS, Cyndi Lauper, Keith Urban, Lionel Ritchie, Carlos Santana, Steve Martin, Norman Gentle, Bikini Girl (Katrina something) with an enhancement she didn't need IMHO, and Kara letting us hear a nice set of pipes as well as showing a nice six-pack stomach herself, and the whiney Tatiana, all made a very entertaining show. I think it had better overall talent than many of the Grammy shows I've seen. I'm glad I have my Tuesdays and Wednesdays back, and am looking forward to seeing if we'll have the same judge lineup next year.
