Have voted against each of these albums most of the tournament. Interesting to see one of them in the grand final.
For what it's worth, I did really enjoy the Texier album, I just thought it was up against better albums most of the tournament. The Innocence Mission album never really took off for me. Texier gets my vote.

Both Ware and Apple will destroy whichever of these two move on to the finals. I think it's pretty safe to assume these two albums are just competing for second place. I'll go with Texier.

I'm actually not so sure about that, both of these have surprised me so far.
Fiona Apple has eked by in much closer matches than I was expecting, so I think either of these albums will give her a good run. Ware has been pretty dominant though, fully expecting her to win the tourney.

While I agree with you from a taste perspective, this is BEA we are talking about.

Maybe you meant it the other way around? Ware's last two matches ended with scores of 9-8 and 9-9, while Apple's score of 13-4 should speak for itself. Even though she has arguably faced weaker (weaker in the sense of less popular) opposition, she has been a force to be reckoned with so far.
Getting on-topic, easy vote for Chance.

The Innocence Mission for me. It does surprise me a lot to see these two in the semis, pretty good albums but there were much better ones in the tourney imo. In the end, See You Tomorrow is in the 90-110 year range for me, while Texier is not a top 100 candidate.

Gave See You Tomorrow another try, and my opinion is basically unchanged. Quite a good listen, but no match for Chance.
