What greeted me when I got home today:

I have a Voice France fangirl post brewing, but I need to go to bed, because I have a breakfast meeting tomorrow. But to sketch out / remind myself of what I'm thinking in case I lose steam:

* The camaraderie and banter among the coaches this season was so lovely.
--> Soprano checking on Jenifer after she was overcome by emotion on hearing a Roma singer and her mother, which reminded her of her grandmother
--> All the coaches teasing Mika about his "Bonjour" and "Alors" and "Les Blues," and Julien's appreciation of "delicious melancholy"-->
--> The other coaches also commenting on Mika's last-minute buzzes and his mannerisms, especially the look of apprehension he tended to have whenever buzzing (though, as a member of the Mika Fan Club forum observed, it totally made sense after he ended up with Coco)
--> Mika exclaiming "J'adore! J'adore! J'adore!" after trading "Yeah, he's got it" looks with Julien Clerc during Pierre Danae's rendition of "To Build a Home"
--> The camera cutting to Soprano appreciating the Mika-Whitney duet during the finale, and Mika likewise appreciating the high harmonies of Clement/Soprano during the same finale
--> Soprano's impromptu rap with Scam Talk
--> Mika's "Julien!?" when Clerc turned around for Mano, to everyone's astonishment
--> Soprano wanting to join Mika's team, Mika wanting to join Julien's...
--> The opening number of the finale, with perfect voicing (Julien with Soprano, and Mika with Jenifer) and timing -- watching how the experienced performers cue attention to the other singers
--> The appreciation/hilarity of blocks
--> Mika/Julien on the kiss-cam (which I normally hate, but I'm with Voici: here, priceless)
