Is anyone listening to the songs for the contest, and planning to vote? Are there a lot of good songs?

OK I'm listening to it now. The first two I've heard are pretty good, but I can't see any of the remaining contestants singing either of them. So I'm rating them real high! ;)
I've heard "When you Need a Moment" and "Forever Starts Today", the latter would be a good one for the final I think.
Now we have "In A Dream" which starts with the intro to "Who Am I" , lower vote for this one, but it's a catchy song once it gets going. So far all the vocals are real high female pop songs, not anything for Blake or any of the girls that I can see singing. Interesting.
"All The Love Your Heart Can Hold" The intro again sounds familiar. Sounds country. Sounds formulaic. Low score from me.
"Send Me On My Way", hey! modern R&B! Bring on Mary K Blige! I could see Jordin singing this one, even though it is trite I give it a higher score. I like the chick singing it.
"Someday" violins intro... sad song.. I'm crying. Sounds like a church song. Oh, wait.... it is a church song. Not a high score. These are the best they got? How sad.
"Love Me Til The Lonely's Gone" Like the intro, This song brung it! I could see ANY of the finalists singing this one. Blake, Jordin, Lakisha, Melinda.. yep. High score for it.
"You Never Gave Up On Me" the patented D-Dsus4 intro.. bleah. The guy's vocal is nice though. Sounds a bit like that guy that sang Short People, Randy Newman. Soulful in a blue eyed kind of way. He should have been on the show. High marks for the guy singing.
"Close to Me" Jazzay... not a final song, good for a cruise ship though. This would be good for Blake's beatbox. High mark.
"I Saw Stars" got the guitars going on, nice intro. It has a nice beat, I can dance to it. I give it a 69.
"The Next Big Thing" Good for Fantasia. Not good for the current crop. It's a nice modern r&b piece. High score.
"Right Here With Me" the words are cliche. Low score.
"I'm Going To Be Me" Robert Goulet? No, r&b again. Not a good final song. High score.
"This Is My Now" Here's your winner folks, just for the title alone. It has the entire package. I'm done listening for now. I will rate the rest later maybe.
I couldn't find the page, where is it?
I did find this though...

Thanks for your review Sligh! I am sure that your opinions are right on target. :)

Of course they are. It's for the AI final. They wouldn't put a good relevant song up. That's why I rated the ones that would be horrible for the final so high. 10 stars out of 10!
