I enjoyed Susan's first performance more than the final personally. She seemed more confident and into her song. This time around she seemed a bit more .. hesitant. She looked exhausted and pale, and for some reason I just got a feeling from her that she was already resigned to not winning. These were my impressions when I watched it before I knew the final results.

As for her personality issues, interviews with her friends back home said she is known to have a temper and that when she is angry she will give you the rough side of her tongue, so I don't think it was shockingly out of character for her as some suggest. I love her performances and want to hear more from her, but I do not believe she was 'robbed' personally, based on all three performances for the show.

Julian Smith was my personal favorite act. Every one of his performances were flawless and so full of heart and soul. I'm so happy for him he ended up in the top three.

The boy, Shaheen, has a truly astounding and amazing voice. I loved hearing him.

Stavros Flatly was hilarious, their performance had me rolling. The father and son are so touchingly close. I know they do not do anything extremely amazing or astounding, but like Simon said, they just make you laugh and feel good. Their whole relationship and act.

A lot of talented and top notch acts. I hope I get to hear more of some of my favorites.
