“American Idol” Finale Gallery Highlighted By Paula Abdul, Carrie Underwood

The “American Idol” season culminated with a guest-heavy final episode, with former “Idol” judge Paula Abdul stealing the show.

Abdul, who looked great, had full support from the crowd as she extended pleasantries to the current judges and helped celebrate Simon Cowell’s final episode of “American Idol.”

Joining Abdul during the show were a laundry list of performers, including Carrie Underwood, Christina Aguilera, Bret Michaels, Janet Jackson, Hall & Oates, Alanis Morissette and more.

But the show was about more than mere guest performances. It also featured the crowning of the ninth “American Idol.” Who won? Read about it here or check out the celebration photos below.
