What did everyone think? I'm a BIG Blake fan, but in my opinion he didn't have his game on. I think Jordin deserves to win after hearing both of them. Not that I feel sorry for Blake... even as a runner-up he's assured of a great career.

The show has been pimping Jordin all season for this. I picked her as "the chosen one" back in top 24. I really enjoy Blake, but I think he'll be better served not winning & maybe having more freedom w/ his CD. That awful coronation song had Jordin style all over it. They should have been given 2 different songs like last year. At this point I hope Jordin wins because I don't want Blake to have to sing that awful song for the next 6 months like Taylor had to do w/ "Do I Make You Proud." Looking forward to seeing Taylor sing "Heaven Knows" tonight. It's one of my favorites on his album. Probably my favorite, actually.

I was really bored last night. I wasn't impressed with any of it. I do think Jordin will win even thought I really like Blake.

I like the way the judges keep reinforcing that this is a singing contest and they should be judged on their singing...not performing. Was that supposed to be a hint?? It was so subtile I couldn't tell

I think Jordin will win. At 17, whether you like her or not, you have to admit she IS the "unfound talent" out of all of this. And, I agree with not feeling sorry for any of them. You better believe we will be hearing from a good many of the top ones in the future!

I agree w/ calimari that the song seemed to be much more appropriate for Jordin than Blake. He quite obviously struggled through it and didn't seem to enjoy singing it at all. Jordin, on the other hand nailed it. I agreed with the judges that Blake is the better performer, and Jordin has the best vocals. Blake seemed to have a big following in the audience, so it's anyone's game. They will both be set as far as careers goes, though. Should be interesting tonight!

This part always slips my mind. That is very true. There are a lot of people backing Blake and it really doesn't matter what the judges think about his singing, it's up to the public. It should be interesting!!

Yea after we watched it, we were so mad. Either of them deserved to win, but it seemed the odds were stacked in Jordin's favor with the final song. They should have allowed Blake to tweak it according to his style - it would have given him a fighting chance. The same thing happened with Carrie & Bo. They both deserved to win, but the song "Inside Your Heaven" needed to be tweaked to fit Bo better, yet it perfectly conformed to Carrie. I agree that Jordin would benefit more from winning than Blake, but it just irritated us that the judges were helping to sway America. DH and I think the judges shouldn't say anything for the last show and just let America decide. It just felt like we were happy for Jordin, but it was hard b'c we felt the show was almost fixed by the way the judges were acting and that last song. We'll see how it goes tonight I guess. Oh, and it cracked me up that they kept saying "this is a singing competition, not a performing one".. guess they realized last year the "performer" won. And that's all I have to say about that....

Okay, I'll repeat again that I frankly don't care which one wins. It's season two all over again for me with two finalists that I may think are good singers but just don't feel an attachment to. I guess I disagree with both of them having big careers. I don't think either of them will be that popular, although I do think Blake was more marketable than Jordin. Don't get me wrong, think she has a great voice, but just can't see her as a big star. Of course I may have to eat these words.

ok, last night i got goosebumps when Jordin was singing. She has a great voice and i hope she wins... Blake is just eye candy to me. i don't think he can sing very well at all. oh, i tried to vote last night for Jordin, and it wouldn't let me. did this happen to anyone else? it just kept saying "this number is not accepting your call"???

I have been a Jordin fan from the beginning. However i really started to like Blake too.

I think Jordin will win and my opinion is the opposite of aliadam.....i think Jordin is more
marketable then Blake.

Either way though i like both and think they'll both have great careers.
