The Sing-Off often makes me weepy. Singing in harmony is often a great trigger for me.
So who do we like? The snowboarders?
Yes! I don't care if they lap the pack, if they keep doing it with a great attitude and actual skills.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I LOVE North Shore. Yes, definitely their worst performance, but they nailed it all of the other times. Also, I thought that Delilah sucked. when they started the song, I said "ugh, this is terrible. The lead is thin and there's no heart in it"
But, I was heartened by Afro Blue's SOUL TRAIN LINE!!!!
eta: and it was even funnier when Sean corrected Sara. This is one of the few reality shows where I really like hearing what the judges have to say.

Delilah had two good numbers and what, two, three mediocre ones? I totally would have cut them.

OH! And I really wish they had taken them out of the brackets this week -- this half is so much better than the other one! Although I'm not that sad about this elimination.

Project Runway: pretty pleased with the final four. I've had more than enough of Josh, but I didn't love Laura's collection either. I wonder if they are going to have some way of verifying that Anya does all her own sewing for Fashion Week, because you know someone is going to suggest she had help.
This season seems like it has flown by, mainly because every week I think "they haven't really hit their stride, I don't know, I guess I'll give it another week" and here we are at the finale. Or maybe it's just me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I *loved* "Video Killed The Radio Star." I just loved it.
Afro Blue - goes without saying. It is a shame that Sara B. has so little acquaintance with Soul Train because that's exactly what I thought too. Not a wedding line!

Because books.
"Video Killed the Radio Star" really was great. I do love ... is it Vocal Point? "Footloose" was just fun.

I have pretty much gotten to the point that I stop listening as soon as she starts gushing. "I feel as though I've gone on the journey with you. / You were very emotional up there. / My notes say you're all very good looking people." Ben and Shawn are awesome at giving concrit, but Sara seems pretty useless. I don't care if she sang a capella in college.
I expected Delilah to get eliminated over North Shore, because North Shore has been pretty consistently solid and entertaining, whereas Delilah, other than their first number (Grenade), has been really shaky. Although I did have doubts when there was that video when the guys said they didn't know any modern music, and didn't even know who Bruno Mars was... and I was wondering how they'd manage a show that relies so heavily on modern/pop music. They handled The Lazy Song really well, but I doubt they would have made it through next week's hip hop as easily.

Okay, I finished the show. I liked Footloose too!

Now I wonder if they let North Shore go only so they didn't have to do hip hop week? Because that would not have been pretty.

I think she's gotten a lot better at giving actual notes as the season has gone on.
