In anticipation of the season finale, artists' performances are revisited before the winner is announced; host Carson Daly, A-list guests and the final four artists check in live as they prepare for the live finale.

I actually think this should be "Countdown" not "Cutdown" but I just copy/pasted the episode description from Google.

So...this is a clip show? Sigh.

Oh, is this for the finale results?

I have no idea if this is the correct topic for posts regarding the results show.   If so - or even if not, I guess - I was not surprised at the outcome.   Nor did I have a favorite going in, so it is what it is.   Jake has a fine voice for classic country, but he has the stage presence of a wet noodle.  ---   Katy was made for Broadway, so it would be nice if something like that materialized for her.   ---   I appreciated Ricky's guitar skills more than his voice, so who knows where that could lead.  ---   I've liked Rose's voice since the blinds, but am not sure of her niche in the music business; what did miss?   ----   That's all I got.

Just curious ... what did John say to Blake as he was going to Katie after her third place announcement?  Was it ‘Hoping’?

Finale result discussion can go in this thread.

Sorry guys...no clue they were splitting the finale into two episodes.
