X FACTOR Season 3 ~~~ THE VOICE Season 5

Adam or Christina have the winner this year.

I thought the "group sings" were fun tonight, and you know I liked Cole a little better because of that ZZ Top song, but probably because he had the best ZZ beard interpretation, ya know?

I don't recognize all the newer songs. I'm split on them...some I like, some I don't. I do know that when they sing an old classic, I am more critical. Not that I want them to sound just like the classic BUT if they do change it up, it has to make sense and sound good. (One of my favorite performances of this season was when Nic Hawk did "Genie In A Bottle," and that is a good example of what I mean.)

Hi sheila, I'm watching too, so many artists I don't know, I was rooting for Luke Bryan but not Taylor Swift.

It was a good show, our favorite? won artist of the year, should have gone to Rhianna. Night sheila, sleep well and see you tomorrow, Karen

I agree with you completely!!

ditto, ditto, ditto.

Will ---- oh my lord, that was fantastic!!!1

Good lord, she slayed it, 16 years old, how can it be.

It was a great show, some of the performances were so utterly fantastic, I got goose bumps. Are you bracing for a storm sheila, ours is supposed to start tomorrow evening and extend through Wednesday.

Glad to read everyone else was impressed by the talent tonight. The competition is ON now!

I thought I heard Adam say that James picked the Queen song for himself, but then I thought I heard Christina say she picked the J5 song that Jacquie did. So, I don't know who was coming up with the song choices, or if they had any format at all, but the song tonight were good for showcasing the individuals.

Really liked James, Will, Ray and Jacquie. Tessanne o.k., and she was about the only one who had any color to her outfit tonight. Cole was o.k., but I'm just not much of a country fan. Liked Matthew's energy, but I felt his vocals were a bit off. Caroline o.k., but nothing special about her performance.

Big Winners of the Night: James Earl Jones and Malcolm McDowell in the Sprint commercials. Hilarious!

Yes they were!  I actually voted last night-James, Will (who is my fav), Ray & Jacquie each got about 10 votes from me!  I would be happy if Cole & Matthew left tonight, but I doubt that will happen.
