American Idol came to a close last night! Having flown out to LA for so many years to cover it, I’m a little sad to see it go. I’ve decided to do a FlashBack Friday post featuring lots of my old pictures to honor Idol. See how many of these faces you recognize. Did you have a favorite American Idol??
