So strange people aren't liking Javier and his original song....I thought he absolutely won it over everyone else! I agree re the quality of all the original songs; so much better than those on American Idol.

Blake showcased Dia and it will likely make her the winner. Blake has made me a fan of him simply by being unselfish and not a stage hog. Christina showcased herself and likely lost Bev any hope of winning. I also hope no Christina next year.

I still think it's between Javier and Dia. Beverly will go third and Vicci fourth. I wasn't wow'd by any of the original tunes. Dia and Javier did the best in the duos. Blake is by far the best mentor, less about his own ego than the others.

To me it seemed more like Dia needed a personal mentor, and hence the fatherly Blake was perfect for her, whereas the others needed a business/professional mentor, so their mentors were perfect for them. And I really enjoyed the Beverly-Christina duet of "Beautiful." I thought it showcased Beverly well, and I was getting teary over her "I am beautiful" lines where you could tell she really believed it while she was singing it. That was the best song of the night for me.

I really liked Vicci throughout the whole season, but after last night's performances, I went away thinking it was going to be between Dia and Javier, with Dia winning. I loved, loved, loved Javier's duet with Adam Levine. They can do away with the Social Media Room anytime. I "mute" my t.v. every time they go there. Who cares about that stuff?

I expected and wanted Dia to win but I wasn't unhappy at all with Javier winning. I think they all are great in their own way.

Thanks Dovez . I thought Dia would win, with Javier very close, but I'm very happy for Javier and Adam. It almost seemed at times Adam wanted it for Javier more than Javier wanted it for himself (same with Blake and Dia) but I guess the more experienced people are just better at expressing themselves. Oh yes that social media room.... Zzzzzzzzzz.... I hope next season they get such talented people to audition again. It'd be horrible if it turned into some sort of Idol.

I'm happy for Javier, but I guess since my fav Dia didn't win, it felt a little anticlimactic for me. I never thought he would even be in the top two. I thought he was too mild... and frankly, forgettable.

I'm surprised by the outcome but can't wait for Dia's first album to drop. Also hope that we hear more from Xenia.

I don't think we are the market they are aiming for with the social media room! LOL thrilled with the outcome. loved Javier and Dia's duets last night, didn't care for Beverly's at all and didn't see Vicci...who did she perform with?

Vicci performed with the lead singer from the band, "Train". It was good. The duet I liked the least was Beverly's.

I had picked Javier for the win from the beginning, but last night I really liked Dia's duet with Miranda. I thought Bev's "costume" last night was horrible. Did I miss something or what was up with that cane? She reminded me of the penguin from Batman. Loved the shot when the camera flashed back to Christinia and she was adjusting "the girls"...too funny!

It was interesting to me that Dia actually hit number one in iTunes downloads (with Javier at 2), but Javier won. It seems that Dia might actually be able to *sell* more, even if Javier got more votes thru other methods.

Wonder how much difference there is in iTunes 1st and iTunes 2nd though? It might not be much. I thought Dia and Miranda Lambert sounded pretty bad, mostly Miranda actually. And Dia seemed to copy Miranda's voice, which was strange. It made her seem a bit fake to me, which is a vibe I've never had from her before. I thought Beverly was mismatched with the guy she had to duet with, the song just wasn't her style. I thought Dia would have done a lot better with that. I thought Javier sung better than Stevie Nicks!

No offense but it wouldn't take much to sing better than Stevie Nicks. I like her and I think she is a good performer but she isn't a great singer. She does have a very distinctive voice.

loved this show. i agree with the comments that it would be better without the social media room and without xtina. who would be a good singer to replace her? (i'm thinking, woman.) happy javier won, but actually downloaded dia, and loved bev and vicci. i really hope they all really take off. agree with jen that i'd love to hear more from xenia. love her unique voice! loved that this was such a positive show with such talented people of all ages.

fwiw, i think xtina really hamstrung frenchie with song choices. she didn't give frenchie a chance to really do what frenchie does best...anyway, i hope the exposure helps frenchie's career.

"All four judges will be back next season. Announced today." So happy to hear that Blake will be back. I love him and can't stop watching Dia and him singing "I Won't Back Down" on youtube. I actually think their version is better than Tom Petty's.

Blake was on Jay Leno a short while back and the interview is terrific. He's so hilarious. Anyone who wants to watch it can see it at youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5jqlhXWkOo
