I was so excited to see this too. I guess they are both just nervous,maybe worn out.Simon looks like he wants to barf.

The audience and the judges seem to be enjoying it. Linking hands in the air and swaying.

Oh, that one shot of Simon, he looked bored.

Let's see what they say...

Geez, he gets a whole freakin' choir! And I still wasn't that impressed. I don't know what in the world the judges heard.

Spy.. like a giant human pitchpipe??

Tabby.. even Simon wouldn't make them sing a song about pulling wings off a fly, would he??

Randy and Paula give him a standing O.

Simon says you obviously saved the best for last. Over to you Clay. That was fantastic.

It kind of sucked for me in that the camera was not on Ruben during the high point of the song.

Clay, Bridge over Troubled Water.

This is where you all are!!

My only comment is to Simon: Figure out HOW to market Clay!

Clay- Bridge over troubled water

Gospel Choir starts out the song.

Good Gravy,why would he do this song? You cannot improve on the original Bridge over Troubled Water. AND a church choir on it???? Accccckkkk,now I want to barf.

This should be a good song for Clay..

I do not like the backup singers for either performance.

The choir stays for Clay. Hard to mess up "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and Clay is playing it as safe as possible.

Sea - exactly - I'm now wishing I had Ruben's performances on tape...I think those vocals have served as a big pitchpipe all this time!

I think they are both doing really great. This is a much better final than last yeat imo. I'm enjoying it.

Uh oh.. a choir?? on Bridge? Yikes!

Clay is singing "Bridge over Troubled Water" with maybe like 50 gospel singers backing him up. WTF, they are drowning him out?! And while I thought the second song was too high-pitched, I think this one is being sung too low for his voice. Not impressed at all.

Never thought of this as a gospel song before. Hmmmmm.
