I don't have much to say about the winning song, as the first and only
time I'd heard it was last night. But I was kind of happy they won, as
the guitarist was featured in "The Committments," one of my favorite
movies of all time (I recognized him when he was performing last
night), and it was nice to see that one of the unknowns from that
terrific movie made such good. Also, I thought it was very classy of
Jon Stewart to bring the girl back on after the commercial for her to
make a speech, since she didn't get to say anything before the
orchestra played them off.

On the other hand, now I really want to see "Enchanted," though the
guy singing the song at the dance was really terrible.

Cheers!
Amy :)
