5/25 Finale Show *Spoilers*

James--I'm not a big fan of heavy metal but am a big fan of James' performance skills. I just really like this guy.

I agree. Not a big metal person here, but I like what he does.

Sigh. A silly montage of Randy and his stupid catch phrases.

I can't wait to NOT hear "in it to win it" every week.

Good Lord! It was annoying last night, I can only imagine!

Now we have Jacob and some gospel dude. Right after a heavy metal band.

Nonsense filler where we get to see behind the scenes shots of the judges in a "get to know them" segment. Randy is first, and we see clips from the auditions and the show. He repeats his famous lines.
"What kind of show is this?"
"(Insert name here) is in it to win it!"

Well now there's a dudette there...Is that Aretha Franklin? Ooops no. Gladys Knight. Minus the Pips.

It's like a concert with a gospel choir. Definitely the total antithesis to James. Couldn't they have separated them a bit? What's next? Casey following Naima?

Like we haven't seen Randy all these years? And of course JLo, Steven Tyler... who???

[Gutmutter]

This is a hot mess - everyone is singing something different and Jacob is off key as usual. :eyeroll
That's Gladys Knight. I guess that makes Jacob a Pip.

[KofferMum]

Kurt Franklin, Gladys Knight join Jacob Lusk singing "Smile" with gospel singers coming out of no where as they are want to do.

I was thinking the same thing.

I bet singing with Gladys Knight fulfilled a dream or two for Jacob as well.

ETA: Gutmutter, you always make me Thanks!
