And so I'm amazed that the most talented singer, Adam, is in the finals. Glad he made it, as I think he is the best contestant by a mile the AI has ever had. But I am SO done with all the shenanigans on that show. I think that this will be my last year watching it. And I think Adam, Danny, and Kris will all be very successful in their own genres. Best of luck to all three, they've worked very hard!
