Final Face Off

Before the final face off could begin, the results had to be revealed of who had made it into the top two. I correctly predicted that Jax would be the lowest vote getter and that left Clark to face Nick in the finals tonight.

In Clark's three performances of the night he impressively showcased his skillful musicianship and outstanding vocal range. He started at the piano doing a wonderful version of Georgia On My Mind. He followed that with just his guitar on an emotionally intense rendition of Ain't No Sunshine. His last song of the night is his new and original single called Champion. It's an uplifting and inspirational anthem of hope that when matched his amazing vocals becomes a rousing chant that all of his fans will be singing along with.    

Nick smiled and shined with his handsome good looks on all of his performances. He rocked things smoothly on Bright Lights and he conveyed a sweet love song on I Won't Give Up. He really delivered a crowd pleasing showstopper of his new and original single, Beautiful Life.

I really like both of these guys. It's very hard to choose if one is actually "better" than the other. In year's past, there has always been that one who made it into the finals and I never liked them all along, but that is not the case this year at all. Nick is a great performer and has wonderful stage presence. He will be very easy to work with while putting on an album that will appeal to the music buying public. Clark is a little harder to categorize into the pop music world with his bluesy/jazzy inclinations. But my prediction for the win and my preference is going to go to Clark because he simply has the more pleasing vocal abilities. His range is exceptional and he sounds more unique and distinctive than Nick.

Clark got all of my votes.
