American Idol and the Milwaukee County Zoo Bush Baby

I never know what to expect from an American Idol finale.

As usual, standouts from the audition portion of the competition were invited back.

The "impressive ones," short on singing talent but long on memorability, were given Golden Idol Awards.

In a mock awards show style, Ryan Seacrest handed out the statues to people in different categories, like "Best Presentation," "Most Original Vocal," and "Best Buddies."

The "Best Buddies" honor went to Kenneth Briggs and Jonathan Jayne.

Kenneth is the contestant that Simon Cowell said looked like a bush baby.

Simon told Kenneth: "You look a little odd... you look like one of those creatures that live in the jungle, with those massive eyes. What are they called? A bush baby."

While Kenneth and Jonathan were on the stage to accept their awards, Seacrest directed the audience to look at the screen. A giant image of a bush baby dwarfed the stage.

It was then that Seacrest announced that American Idol is sponsoring a bush baby at the MILWAUKEE COUNTY ZOO.

Will Idol fans flock to Milwaukee to visit the famous bush baby?

I think so.

Still, I doubt the bush baby will overtake Samson as the most popular resident that the Milwaukee County Zoo has ever known.
