They both should’ve done the songs from lastweek. ---

Vo should have sang **Free Bird** or **Spinning Wheel** Carrie should have sang **Alone** ---

Bo’s doing Carrie’s song! ---

Wait … didn’t Bo sing this song already? More crapple dapple! I don’t like it. This sounds like Neil Diamond, or some such nonsense. ---

Carrie sounds like she is straining. ---

Well, he did better with that song than Carrie did. I wish they’d given them both better material, though. ---

Seriously … who decided, “You know what? This song that sounds like total junk would make an excellent single!” Maybe for A-Fed, but I can’t picture either Carrie OR Bo singing this song in real life. What is wrong with these people? Even Top 40 radio wouldn’t play that. Would they? ---

Bo really should win, but since they’re doing voting for 4 hours, it all is up to whose fans are the most long lasting and determined. He is better than Carrie. ---

So they have to sing the same songs? ---

If Carrie does Bo’s first song, I’m changing channels. ---

I wouldn’t have minded hearing Bo do “Whipping Post” again. I guess Carrie must be doing the Bo original now. ---

“Inside Your Heaven” was the song that was written especially for them tonight. I imagine it will be the winner’s first single. Bo did it much better but it’s still not a great song. It sounds like bits of it were taken from other songs and stitched together into this, it’s a Frankenstein song! I love Bo, but I can’t say that either contestant is really blowing the doors off the place tonight. ---

Carrie always seems to be struggling to hit the notes, and has NO stage presence. ---

Pitchy. Boring. Affected. Irritating. Carrie got outsung by Bo on both originals. Bo wins. ---

She was not very good tonight. She’s done much, much better. That doesn’t mean she won’t win. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-idol-final-two-spoilers/305069.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-idol-final-two-spoilers/305069.md?page=4)
