I missed the AI finale last night. How was it? Who do you think will win?

I posted a clicky poll on the Entertainment board and so far the posters-formerly-known-as-nesties are with me on expecting Phillip to take win. I liked the performances last night, and so much prefer when it is down to just 1 hour!

Phillip did "Stand By Me" for his first one and it was so good that I would consider finding it on iTunes, and I never download songs from shows like that! A female hasn't won since season 6, so I am thinking the teen girl votes are gonna help him continue that trend, but Jessica was also pretty good even though she got harshed a bit by the judges last night. It wouldn't shock me to see her win, but I don't think she has as large of a fanbase who are willing to vote as he does.

Oh, it was just an hour long? Nice!

I think you're right that Phillip probably has a lot of female fans. I just looked up his "Stand By Me" performance on YouTube. I like that song and think that was a good choice for him. I also just saw that Jessica sang "The Prayer"... I love that song and she sang it well but for some reason there's something I don't like about her. I can't put my finger on it. I've missed a LOT of episodes this season though so I may have missed some good and bad performances that would sway me one way or another if I'd seem them.

Thanks for the recap!

No prob, Sloths. Yeah, only one hour which is why I was able to get thru it all last night instead of watching it late the next day like I usually do.

I think sometimes Jessica overperforms or maybe it's just that she's so young that she isn't as believable with selling some of the lyrics she is singing about, but I kwym about not being able to pinpoint the dislike. I am sure if you watch tonight then you will see the majority of last night's stuff since they will probably have lengthy recaps as always. I think Rihanna is supposed to perform.

**pinches Bridey's cute butt** It was also really good, and I look forward to hearing it on the radio some day!
