AMERICA VOTED:  It was prophesied, by me in March and by Fienberg as soon as he auditioned, and so it has come to pass.  Phil^2 is your fifth straight WGWG to win American Idol.

So here's my question: can Idol fix the WGWG problem?  If so, how?

added:  Is Phil^2, as the NYT's Jon Caramanica asserts this morning, "easily the best" of the five WGWGs, "not a dullard or a mook or a boy made good ... steadily great throughout the season, never once in the bottom three, and even when he underwhelmed, he came off as a bored genius in a remedial class, going through the motions and hoping to sneak through."
