FINALE!!!!

I was prepared to watch the performances tonight, then say how they were both awesome, both great, both deserving to win. They'll both have great careers no matter what. I believe all that is true. HOWEVER, after watching the show, I came away strongly rooting for JORDIN. She is an incredible singer!!! BLAKE is a great performer (Simon's comments were *spot on*... :) ), but in this type of show, JORDIN wins, hands down.

The single was cheesy as in years past, which I was surprised at. I thought with the viewers contributing the songs, we'd see something a lot better. But alas, it was the same ol', same ol'. It was totally *not* BLAKE'S type of music, but it shows JORDIN'S versatility. Blake needs to perform to be great, but Jordin's voice is enough in and of itself. I think Blake will be popular in his niche, while Jordin has a wider appeal.

What a great season!!!!
