Alice Cooper

It can well be assumed that the grand finale of the “American Idol” was one of the best episodes of the show so far. In the grand finale, the producers attempted to turn the episode into a kind of a throwback to the earlier episodes of the show, bringing back all the stars who had performed in the earlier episodes of the show. Moreover, the episode was also a kind of a throwback to the bygone era of the glorious days of the American music scenario. It brought back the singers from those glorious days on the stage of the American Idol. Alongside the likes of Bret Michaels and the Bee Gees, the stage also saw the return of Alice Cooper.

The performance of Alice Cooper was very much in keeping with the format of the show, that is, the contestants began singing it first, and Alice Cooper joined in after some time. He was joined on the stage by Orianthi, the Australian guitarist turned singer. They performed the hit number from the Gossip Girls by Alice Cooper himself, “School’s Out For Summer.” Although mind blowing as far as the reactions of the audience was concerned, the performance of Alice Cooper could not impress much the critics, who felt that he could have done much better.

The performance was very much signature Alice Cooper style, with the back up singers all dressed in costumes looking like school uniforms, bringing back the feel of the Gossip Girls on the stage of American Idol. Even Orianthi herself was dressed in a sparkly school dress.
