Honestly, I love all 8 of the final songs. I'm ranking these based on my most recent; I'm not sure how much it matches up with my ranking last week, but whatever:

The results have been close throughout, but for a vote here or there almost anything could have made this final 8. Whatever happens, the winner will be at least somewhat surprising. So much the better.

Pretty diverse array of genres in these quarterfinals. I suppose that's not too unexpected though.
I'll be satisfied no matter what the outcome is; at this point, I'm ready for this tournament to be over.
Thanks for the live versions, Honorio. The Patti Smith one was pretty tight.
