Prediction... Jax / Clark finale, but she will not be revealed first to hype the drama. :):)


Well 1 of 2 right and on we go to the Clark / Nick finale....

I’m not surprised Jax was cut, but I was looking forward to hearing her sing.

Poor thing, Jax rehearsed all week for nothing. It feels particularly harsh this final week....probably three songs down the drain now.

Thanks, Manic :)

Every time I type your name I spell "Manix"--lol.

I'm tired of seeing Borchetta's oily face on my TV.

Clark Beckham

Doing his best Ray Charles impersonation, Clark sings "Georgia On My Mind".

Keith : Like a whole mess of flap jacks drenched in syrup.

Jlo : You were a diamond in the rough. You remind us why you're here.

Harry : You always want to push it, push it, push it. And that was a great example. Great way to start the show.

Two white guys with guitars competing for the final.

As we knew it would be :)

Well I was half expecting a Blonde Girl With Guitar to be there. They sure had enough of them this year.

Nick Fradiani

He sings Matchbox Twenty's "Bright Lights". Excellent! He should win this. Clark tries too hard for the same sound that comes naturally to Nick.

Sustained applause.

Jlo : Simon Fuller was probably thinking of someone like you. Someone who has the look, who has the presence. We've seen you grow into that.

Harry : This would be a perfect opportunity to (start voting) You guys have to vote. Good job!

Keith : I can relate to you, Nick.

Seacrest asks Jennifer who won the first round.

Jlo: Can I say it was a tie?

Seacrest: You can but it would be a cop-out.

Harry begins to chant "You have to choose! You have to choose!" The audience picks up on it, mostly.

Jlo sticks with her cop-out. It's a tie.

Oh yeah, I remember in the beginning that they had a proportionally large number of blondes and urban singers. Once again Idol voters go for the white guy no matter how hard they try. Racists.

I hadn't thought of that. This format change is really unfair to the singers.

Thinking Nick will get the “ smile vote” and that will be the difference.

PreferClark, but won’t be disappointed with a Nick win

Clark is usually good but he has gone screech-y on both songs tonight.

Clark Beckham

Strumming acoustic guitar, he sings Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine". Much better than his first effort.

Harry : Takes a lot of guts to do that (sing two slow songs back to back) Inward soulful performance.

Keith : (he tells some joke about a duck that I didn't get--apparently no once else did either)

Jlo : It was awesome, beautiful, heart-felt.

Clark is a more versatile singer and a phenominal musician. Nick seems to be more of a one-trick-pony. (A very good pony tho.)
