Kudos to American Idol for hosting another season finale Sunday night that was at times touching, at other times fun, but always entertaining.
As usual for such events, guest stars were on hand, from Jon Bon Jovi to Hootie and the Blowfish to Jason Mraz and New Kids on the Block.
But the great thing about American Idol is that when those guest stars take the stage, they’re almost always accompanied by one or more of that season’s contestants.
The result is a finale that always feels like a celebration of the season about to be completed, and not just for the finalists.
Sunday night, every member of the Season 22 Top 12 got a chance to enjoy the Idol spotlight one last time, a fitting tribute considering the talent those singers brought to the show over the past three months.
Speaking of tributes, the show also said farewell to Katy Perry on Sunday in a couple of segments that managed to salute her without detracting from the night’s main purpose, the crowing of a new Idol champ.
The Season 12 ladies, for instant, paid tribute to Katy by singing a medley of her hits, a performance that had her jumping atop of the judges’ table.
She repaid the compliment when it was her turn to perform, taking the stage in a dress adorned with photos of the Season 22 contestants.
Here’s a photo gallery of some of those special moments from Sunday’s show.
