Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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 have pretty much gotten to the point that I stop listening as soon as she starts gushing.

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

Jesse,

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

Overall, I agree with you, but she is uneven. She still needs to get a lot better IMO.

Oh, and my favorite moment was when Ben started saying he wasn't an expert in the style of music (after Poison?) and Shawn FELL OUT.

Because books.

Sara's still miles better than Nicole whatsherface, imo.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Sean and Ben are definitely the best. Sean gives good feedback, but with an emotional resonance that really speaks to the skill of the singers. Ben is all about the solid criticism. Sarah sometimes has legitimate comments, but likes to gush. I think that you need some of that, though. she hasn't gotten to the point where it's annoying for me, but she could tip the scales if she's not careful.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

But you can always tell when the judges are not thrilled with a performance. Last night was pretty rough--there were only a few songs that really stood out as solid, the rest of them had wobbly bits or just didn't make it to "good".

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

That's true. Although I wonder if some of it isn't just the judges getting tougher now that the field has narrowed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.

No, I totally agree. Anya is the only designer from this seasoon who interests me at all, to the point where I don't care that she doesn't know jack shit about construction - those skills can be learned. She really seems to me to be the only one with ideas.
