I didn't like Damien's song at all. There seemed to be no repetition at all to the song. Just seemed like random notes everywhere. He hit the notes, but there was a reason that we hadn't heard the song before.

I like Leon Russell's version, though there are some bad versions from him out there. There's one with Leon, Ray Charles and Willie Nelson.

I thought CWB was very good, but not great.

I loved Adam and Chris.

I like the last half of Matt much more than the first half.

I wish Taylor John was still around because he would probably sing something he actually wrote.

Big reason why I was hoping he would make it to the finale.

Blake and CWB were just okay. I love the Elton John song. The contestants aren't singing so much in these duets. Adam is damn good. Damien didn't get to sing much. Neither did Chris.

Chris was just fantastic with his last song. That guy's improvement has been so impressive and I've said that before. He could win and with that performance, he earned it. I think I'll buy that song. I loved it.

All I know is Matt's original song was by far the best out of the 4. It was unbelievable.

Well, Saints football pre-empted The Voice on WDSU tonight. I've been up since 5 am this morning and I'm not staying up straight until 2am to watch the "replay". GG, I'm going to take a little nap, but I'll leave the light on for you. You know where the key is. Just come on in and wake me up at 1:30 or so.

I'm watching intermittently when the Saints game gets bad (like when Chicago has the ball ).

I thought the original songs were okay. I didn't really think anybody really blew me away with theirs, but I was sort of humming Matt's Wasted Love a little bit after I watched it.

But I guess it beats their whole "do your best performance from the season" thing they usually do.

I can do way without the contestant/coach performances. They're so boring to me for whatever reason. I did get excited when I was FFWDing cuz I thought Matt and Adam were doing More Than Words, but they weren't. :(

I really just dislike Chris. I hope he comes in last. As for a winner, I guess I'm hoping for Damien, but I feel like it should probably be CWB. I like Matt but he doesn't deserve to win IMO.

Carson's interview with Danielle Bradbury was so hilariously awkward.

Weirdly, for the finals, I wasn't really blown away by anybody.

Matt's last song the Rainbow one, was just so conservative

---

I think he did a great job with it, but I agree with you on the conservative part. I thought it was a poor choice at this point. I think it may have put him out of contention. It helped Chris in my opinion.

I like Rainbow, so I enjoyed that performance by Matt, but I agree that it was far from knocking it out of the park. I loved his duet with Adam.

I thought Chris was great in all of his performances to the extent that he put himself in a position of winning.

Out of these 4, I don't dislike any of them and I'm okay with any of them winning, when you get down to it. They've all had a good season at different points in the competition, though I believe Chris bloomed later in the season than anyone.

No one is hating on Matt. Wasted Love was quite good. It'll be interesting to see who gets more votes than the others as they start eliminating. I guess iTunes factors in there, too, though.

When Matt is performing, I enjoy it, so there's no hate there. I just like Chris better, but they are my top two.

A few weeks ago Damien sang a song that I thought was a really dumb choice (can't recall what it was). I run hot and cold with him.

CWB ... for some reason I am not affected by him when he sings. During a rehearsal, he mentioned a "signature move" he was going to do. I think that's what bothers me about him. I never think he's really feeling the words to the song, but just performing. I have no criticism of his voice.
