I thought I'd at least start a new thread for the final show. LOL - Anyone excited about this? I've stuck with it all season so I'll be watching (um ... plus Survivor is finished). Why do you think they are having three finalists. Isn't that kind of odd? What about vote splitting?

I've watched from the beginning. Liked Chris from the beginning. Also like Josh and Melanie. All are good. I want Chris to win and yes I'm a bit excited to see the show tonight. More excited to see Chris win tomorrow!

Would love to hear Josh or Chris one. Not a fan of Melanie (while she can sing, I just don't respond to her).

I like Josh or Melanie. This finale is wild. I didn't realize they would get to sing with a star. So far Josh sang with Alanis Morissette, and right now Chris is singing with Avril Levigne.

Melanie is singing with R. Kelly. It sounds sooo good.

Thanks for letting is know, Naja. I haven't started watching yet but it sounds like it's better than I thought it would be.

Uh oh, I'm sorry I didn't come back to spoil more. You know, it was one of those nights where everyone was wonderful and no one got bad criticism.

I think this was their best show. Some pretty decent performances and they stayed away from a huge number of back-up singers and pyrotechnics. And L.A. and Simon managed to suck it up and compliment each other's artist.

I thought Josh sounded a little weak before Alanis came out.

I thought Chris' first couple lines before Alanis came in were dreadful. But he picked up after that.

They all sounded weak in their first songs. I think they were nervous and kind of holding back prior to their big introduction of the star performer. As much as I like Josh, I think he may have lost it tonight. He didn't seem to bring as much emotion to his performance as Chris and Melanie. Chris was better than I expected (and of course he went with his best favorite) and Melanie was strong at the end.

They all sounded great, but I stuck with the one I picked from the beginning. Voted for Josh for two hours straight.

For the first songs I thought only Melanie was as strong as their star performer, but typically LA had to criticise. I thought Josh was swamped by Alanis (and who wouldn't be) and it wasn't really a good song for him. It's hard not to want Chris to win though, he's just so endearing somehow, and looks so amazed and happy to be there.

Voting for Melanie (hard to get anything but busy signals) but would be fine with Josh winning. Chris just doesn't do a thing for me.

I will be happy for any of the three winning, they are all winners. Josh has that kind of mans voice that I love to listen to, so simple and just love it, I would buy his music. Melanie has an amazing powerful voice, knocks it out of the park everytime. I would listen to her, not sure if I would go out and buy. Chris, he just makes me smile, love his personality, can't help but love him. He is the kind of guy that you find yourself singing along to in the car. Voice I give it to Melanie, then Josh, then Chris. Who I would buy, Josh, then Melani, then Chris Current and personality, Chris, Melanie and then Josh. Such a toss up, guess it all depends on what you are looking for and who is doing the voting. My prediction First place Chris, second Melanie, third Josh.

I enjoyed the finale and would be happy with any of the three winning. Melanie has the best voice, but I also love Josh . . and how can you not love Chris. His singing is not perfect but he makes the other two look boring.

I voted for 2 hours for Chris. Lots of busy signals. I hope he appreciates me wanting him to get that 5 million so much!

Are people voting for Chris for his back story or for his talent as a singer? I think Melanie outshines them all with the purity and strength of her voice. Josh has a unique "roughness" that is also really appealing. I love Chris's attitude and appreciation - he glows - but is that enough for the big prize? I don't think so. He is growing stronger each and every day but is far from healed from his "demons" and I wonder if he would have the strength to succeed without falling back into despair. The pressure in this business is tremendous and I see him as still being really fragile.

Well all these talent type shows, people vote for the package not just the talent. My heart wants Chris to win but I didn't vote, because it would seem weird to me if he does win because he's clearly not the best there, doesn't mean I don't want him to win though. I think Melanie stands out in terms of singing talent, but some people here have said she doesn't have much emotion. And clearly Josh touches some people because Nicole and Paula are practically in tears every time he sings.

I want Chris to win and voted for him so much because of the whole package. I also think he is more original (to me, anyway)than the other two. As far as back stories, I think they all have 'good' ones. Ones that touch the heart and make people want to see them succeed. Whether here or after the competition.

I'm sorry to say that I think they are all going to have a problem making it big. Sure everyone says that the exposure is what matters but people can barely remember who came in second and third on most of the American Idols, let alone buy their records (yes I know there are a very few exceptions).

Well $5 million is pretty good as a starter. Hopefully they dont just cut a check but help with managing. With anyone just handed that amount they will be dogged just like lottery winners are and all too often even adults are taken for all they have. Dialidol has Chris a definite third, Melanie ahead but they aren't calling a winner between Josh and Melanie, But they aren't always right, anyway.
