Trini they did get rid of their fifth choice in the first hour (forget the team name but the ones who made wacky faces and were on youtube). The second hour was as Northstar describes. I didn't think the medley songs were good for any of the groups. Some of them sounded a mess despite the good singing. If they do a Sing Off 3 I hope they miss that round out.

Kit, the group with 100 men? (it seems) their sound confused me, I agree some of the transitions were not smooth. Thanks, did anyone else PVR stopped short.

I am hoping for Street Corner Symphony to win. They entertain me the most of the final 4.

I started to watch, but the singing was not very good this week.

The singing wasn't too good until they did their solo (as in just the group, not with a guest star) songs, then I thought they picked up. I was happy with either of the final two winning. I love "We are the Champions" and the TiVo recording cut out just as they started, waaaah.

They sure dragged it out. My fav being Back Beats, of course I was not totally thrilled but I certainly enjoyed all the last groups and always enjoyed the big group numbers just seeing all the people in all the groups enjoying each other so much. Very upbeat show and very enjoyable. I thought the judges got way too gushy way too often, but.. oh well.

This is a great singing competition. Committed certainly earned the win, but that could have been said about most of the groups. I look forward to the next round!

Wow, Boys to Men and Ben Folds were not very good, thank goodness Nicole represented for the judges. And Nick sounded good too. I am glad for the final 2 and hope that Street Corner Symphony can also get a contract. They really outshined everyone on the finale show.

I was shocked at how dodgy Ben Folds sounded, can't help but still want to give him a hug though. Nicole sang well, as always, but I didn't like that she mimicked someone (Aretha?) rather than doing it in her own voice.

I cant get that "fix you" song out of my head. I liked all the finalist....but Committed...please, really? You never did a contemporary song? I found that hard to believe all season.

they had never done a contemporary song PRIOR to the competition. but they did do contemporary songs IN the competition. Streetcorner Symphony was my fave. I think they did "Fix You" better than Coldplay does. I hope they are seen by the right people and given their due also.

yeah even prior to the season...I don't buy it. Were they so sheltered that all they ever heard was Gospel music? All they ever tried to sing...even outside of the church? Granted...I'll give them that they never tried a Maroon 5 song prior to the competition...or a Coldplay song...I'll even buy that Gospel is their specialty...but never a secular, top 40 song?

I was able to see the last half of the finale, which was playing on Oxygen channel tonight! I think it is also on my NBC "free on demand" cable channel, so hope to catch up with more of the groups and singers. Impressed with all the talent. Watched the youtube video, Nick. loved it when all the groups joined together.

Just for the record, Street Corner Symphony was my favorite group....consistently. Excellent singers! Hope we hear more of them and from them!
