Xenia has a Amy Winehouse and Norah Jones vibe I love listening to her change pitch it's very different than most singers and interesting to listen to.

I think it'll be Javier, Bev, Vicci and Dia.

That being said, I was annoyed that Adam said that about Nakia's song. It's one thing to say Nakia sang it really well, but to say without knowing who sang the original or how it was song by the original artist that Nakia's was better was over stepping I thought. I love Adam Levine, but Adam Lambert kills that song.

No one watched? Does anyone want to know what happened?

Okay, rough summary:

First up: CeLo. He scores Nakia 51, Vicci 49, and apologizes to Vicci for doing so.

However, the audience prefers Vicci by a Wide margin, so she moves on. (final score was something like 124 - 76?)

Next up: Adam. He scores Zavier 65, and poor Casey 35. He justifies it in a rambling speech, saying Casey is only 18, she'll do fine, but Zavier needs to go on... etc.

Unfortunately, I missed the audience vote on this one, but Zavier moves on. (ETA: final score is 138-62, so the audience agrees)

Blake up next. He scores Dia and Xenia 50-50, can't choose. The audience chooses Dia for him. (106-94 - very close!)

Christina goes last, she also can't choose, scores them 50-50. The audience chooses Beverly. Final score was 107 - 93.

So final four: Vicci, Zavier, Dia, Beverly.

Thanks Kar. I have it taped but I'm happy to see the results here.

My only beef is that Adam should have had more faith in the audience. If he wants to win, really, the audience is his best guide of who the winner would be. He came off looking a little mean and a little foolish, IMO.

Cee Lo may have slightly hurt Vicci's chances as well as he went against the clear audience favorite on his team.

Thank you for the last result! I guess our local NBC station forgot about the president's speech tonight. They started the news at 10:00!

After that performance, I can't believe that Cee-lo didn't rate Vicci higher.

I don't think Adam looked mean. In a way, although I agreed it's hard to pick from the 2, it was sort of a cop out to judge 50/50. These judges were supposed to give their opinion and expertise.

I can't blame Christina or Blake for going with the 50/50 thing. IMO Beverly and Frenchie were pretty even as far as talent, like Christina said, they have different styles but both great.

Same thing with Blake's team. I couldn't choose myself between Dia and Xenia, they are both good.

What shocked me was CeLo giving Nakia an edge over Vicci. IMO Vicci is clearly the better singer. I didn't like Nakia's version of his song. Like someone else said, Adam Lambert kills that song and Nakia's version fell flat for me.

The final 4 was very predictable.

Celo said he could not hear her properly with the drums in the live show. Already gave his rating. Said she was much better when he watched the tape later.

Is the next show the last show? This really went quickly. On the last show they said they are already auditioning for The Voice 2.

I really don't understand the love for Dia. She's so uncomfortable on stage that she makes ME uncomfortable just watching. I think she's got a pretty voice but she's not all that special. I think Blake threw her the win by taking her out on concert with him... the other coaches don't stand a chance.

I also don't get the Javier love. He just doesn't do a thing for me. While Casey wasn't all that great and Adam had to pick his winning singer, I just don't understand all the fawning all over Javier.

So I'm still... VICCI or BEVERLY for THE WIN!

I haven't watched this show, only listened to it from another room. Dia has by far the most unique voice of the contestants and I've enjoyed her performances the best. It's interesting to only hear them and not see them on stage. If the winner is the 'voice', then I think Dia should take it. If the winner is the 'performer', then from what people are saying up above, it appears that someone else should win.

See, now I think Xenia's voice is the most unique. She's got something in her tone that is pretty rare. I don't think Dia's voice is all that unique.

Now we're back talking about stage performance and personality. For a show that is called "The Voice" and is presumably about the voice, they do an awful lot of stage effects (lighting, dancing, pyrotechnics, etc.). So much for it being about the voice.

LOL - I'm not whining about it by the way. Every time someone says that AI should be about finding the best singer I always say it's really about finding the best performer.

I think it started out as "voice" since the judges had their backs to the performers. But of course if we didn't get to see them perform, that would make for pretty poor TV. Maybe a better radio show.

I think that the choice of song should be up to the contestant. Both C-Lo and Xtina picked songs of the past. C-Lo especially gave the sisters a poor song with the WWII vibe while I don't think they were ever going to win I would have liked to see them sing something current, likewise Frenchie singing "Like a Prayer" didn't help Frenchie but Bev got a tremendous song which helps alot. Dia also has had great songs where one of Xenia's I'd never heard before. So my long rant is over :-) But song choice definitely effects the voters IMO.

I also don't get the Javier popularity he's got a beautiful voice but his hat bugs me lol. Nice guy, pretty voice but no energy or spark in his performances IMO.

I thought Xenia picked her own songs? Didn't Blake comment on her doing something by the same artist? I think the artists all could've said something if they disagreed with the song choice. I think some of them did think that it would show a different side of them, or whatever. I'm not sure song choice hurt Frenchie (the two were really close in public vote). Also Xenia/Dia were close, weren't they? Just a few points off.

I think they can choose, but the coaches also suggest and put pressure on them to do certain things. I can imagine some coaches are more controlling than others....
