As we head into tonight's 2-hour "goodbye, Simon" festival (and, oh yeah, they'll be naming a winner, too), let's look back at the best and worst of the season. As always, only the singers and performances from the top 12 on are eligible.
Best performance: Crystal, "Up to the Mountain"
Runner-up: Andrew, "Forever"
Worst performance: Tim, "Under My Thumb"
Runner-up: new judge Ellen DeGeneres, who was just as dithering as Paula, nearly as incoherent as Kara, and even more blandly useless than Randy
Voted off too soon: Katie, who was finally coming into her own when she got the ax
Runner-up: Paige, who got laryngitis at just the wrong moment
(And if we were considering non-finalists here, I'd have to mention Alex Lambert, who really did deserve a spot in the top 12)
Lasted too long: Tim, who milked the "such a nice boy" vote for all it was worth
Runner-up: Andrew, whose one bit of shtick wasn't really all that interesting
Most disappointing: Siobhan, who dazzled in the semifinals, then caught up in her own hype and insisted on shrieking her way to a big climax every week
Most pleasant surprise: No winner; there were no pleasant surprises this season
