I personally commend Prince Poppycock for daring to go against the grain of even his own performances. The reason why Prince Poppycock caught the judges' eyes to begin with is because they were expecting one thing and got something else. He's a contrary dandy, that's his character when he's on stage. And he suits that role perfectly by totally pulling the rug out from under his audience by taking a more serious performance for the finale.
Piers, however, was just plain rude to buzz in the middle of his performance. It was a dick move, especially from someone who once said Prince Poppycock was his "becoming his little guilty pleasure" not two performances ago. Sharon was right to get onto his case about it and to point out that it was Prince Poppycock's show, America would be the decider. Not the judges any longer. They can give their opinions, but for crissake at least wait until his performance is over, even if you didn't particularly care for it! What an insult!
As for Michael Grimm, I adore his voice, I do. But I'm biased against covers and I don't think he'd last very long on a Las Vegas stage, to be honest. There's not really anything truly original or memorable about him except his voice is lovely. So I am reserved.
As for Jackie--your input on the matter is exactly what I was thinking! The whole being young and her voice changing and the sound of it possibly being ruined by how she's singing now. Not only that but the whole little girl aspect of things also makes me go, "This girl is not a Las Vegas show, what are you people doing." I really hope she doesn't win. She has so many other chances elsewhere.
And finally Fighting Gravity was actually a fun an entertaining performance! But Piers did have a point when he said they kind of ruined the magic of it at the end of that last performance with the light flashing behind them. It ruined this show for them, but it's something they have to really be careful of in the future and it's so easy to mess up in blacklight shows. So I'm a bit ambivalent about them, but it's really between them or Poppycock, I would think.

tl;dr Jeva has opinions.
