Confetti, hugs and an emotional farewell to ‘Idol’

There was a bit of confusion in the end of the show. Just before the show wrapped, executive producer Nigel Lythgoe came out to prep the audience for an emotional closer, in which the Idols and the audience were to sing Kelly Clarkson's "A Moment Like This." 

Instead the confetti blast at the end was so powerful that we couldn't see anything. We saw about a handful of finalists onstage sing the song as people hugged and embraced runner-up La'Porsha Renae. The lights then faded as the production crew came out to join the onstage party. Was there a singalong? We're not sure. Were we blinded by confetti? Yes. Will we miss "Idol"? With all our hearts.
