<p>so far favorite has been dia and blake duet… hoping her original is great…she has become my favorite… but waiting to see beverly…what a character…cant help smiling when she sings.</p>
<p>Well, I’m not a Bev fan, and I think Bev and Christina just blew Dia/Blake out of the room for the duet.</p>
<p>Already bought Dia’s single, what chills… There is so much talent in this final four.</p>
<p>Yep, Bev and Christina were awesome. Loved Dia’s song. Javier better watch his back.</p>
<p>Argh. Man in the Mirror is not meant to be a duet. That was pretty bad.</p>
<p>have to add, i’ve always liked maroon five and adam… but have always been a non-fan of country…however blake shelton as a person seems really genuine and has impressed me… i may just have to download something LOL</p>
<p>I love country and Blake Shelton. Several months ago he co-hosted the Today Show with Hoda Kotb and was HEE-larious. Just enough bad-boy and sharp as a tack. I’m glad to see him getting a wider audience.</p>
<p>Best quote of the night from Cee Lo: “For all you youngsters out there, go do your homework and find out who Pat Benatar is.” LMAO</p>
<p>Agreed-best quote of the night.</p>
<p>Thoroughly enjoyed tonight’s show (with the exception of the opening number). What fun!!! They were all fabulous.</p>
<p>And Cee Lo reminded me of one of the bad guys from Power Rangers. He is so awesome … what a great entertainer. My coworker said he did a Patti LaBelle tribute on the BET awards the other night that was absolutely hilarious.</p>
<p>well i have no idea who will win now!! i give the duet to bev…but original ???</p>
<p>yds… give me a clue as to best download for blake…</p>
<p>I can’t help from root for Bev. I liked her original song - found myself singing the hook after. Dia is adorable but I just can’t love that slightly off key Taylor Swiftish type of singing. I liked her duet better. Loved the Celo/Vicci duet. Not many can pull off Benatar and she did. Her speaking voice concerns me though - worried about damage.</p>
<p>CANT STAND the bald woman (lesbian) or “vicci.” the african-american guy has a great voice, but the clear best is blake shelton’s trainee (dia). her “inventing shadows” song was great and her voice is perfect!</p>
<p>I was extremely upset when Adam chose Casey over Jeff. I almost boycott the show after seeing that, because I think Casey has a kind of nasaly, clogged up sound, while Jeff’s was just great. I also was upset when Ceelo chose Nakia, and by many other points in the show. If I had to say who I wanted to win, I would have to say the African-American male, who’s name slips me right now.</p>
<p>Yeah, Vicci and Beverly are both lesbians, but what does that have to do with anything? They are both grade A performers that deserve to be here.</p>
<p>I think sexual orientation shouldn’t really matter as much when it comes to choosing a winner. The only thing I’m scared of, is that if they don’t get chosen, there’ll be a large uprising in the GLBT community about them not getting picked just because of their sexual orientation.</p>
<p>I just used the word “lesbian” to identify the woman (similar to the way I used “African-American” to identify Javier). Please don’t twist my words to make it sound like I had ulterior motives.</p>
<p>As a gay male, I have no problem with them not winning. Just them getting this far (along with Nakia) while being openly gay shows that change is coming to America. I had no intention of twisting anybody’s words. I was just pointing out that gay/lesbian people do not want their main identifying factor to be their orientation. Do you want to be known first and foremost as the “straight” one? Sorry if I was too upfront about it</p>
<p>I loved all the duets and solos tonight. I think each performer went out and did their absolute best. The one who hit my heart twice was Javier … I think his voice just really sounds beautiful and clean and I love his whole range. I’m also glad that a few of the judges also commented on his good character. To me, it also comes out in his genuine singing and stage presence. I do think that Vicci’s duet was super strong as a performance, and Bev’s duet with Christina showed a new side of her, while Dia continued to do her thing. In the end, regardless of who wins, I will seek out Javier’s next album or iTune release as his voice belongs on my car stereo.</p>
<p>Another vote for Javier. He has an incredible voive.</p>
