Is "The Voice" Your New Vice?

Here are the “current” iTunes rankings. Can not recall such a tightly packed iTunes ranking from a Finals night. Such a competitive Final-4:

Haven’t watched the show because not up on Hulu yet but did see all the performances on NBC.com. I agree with Youdon’tsay, Addison misfired a bit with Humble and Kind. I also did not care for Chloe and Blake’s duet. I think BingeWatcher is right about the Wrecking Ball duet. It felt more like a Battle Round duet that Miley had won. I don’t fault Brooke for that, but she seemed more like one of Miley’s backup singers.

For me, Red was the most consistent performer in the Finals.

This is a most intriguing Finals Results Show tonight. If I had to make a prediction I think Chloe still wins it but I think this race was a photo finish. I do not think there was ever a Finals where any of the final 4 ALL had a realistic shot at winning.

Both of Addison’s (solo) performances, both Country, are beating Chloe from last night’s finals. Tennessee Rain is currently #1 on iTunes. The fact that Humble and Kind is doing so well tells me she definitely made the right choice by finally singing Country because it is trending better than it probably should be. I thought she may have hurt herself in splitting votes with Red but, in retrospect, it may have hurt him but helped her— broadening her fan base.

Here’s another look at the current iTunes rankings:

I loved Tennessee Rain so much that I forgot about her poor Humble and Kind.

Addison’s duet just landed in the iTunes Top-10, giving her a 5 times multiplier on 13,500 downloads or an additional 87,500 points. I now will be surprised if she does NOT win. In a way I’m sorry she gains this advantage because the playing field was completely level for all 4 before this occurred.

That should be 67,500 votes, not 87,500 points. There are other ways to get votes so anything can still happen.

I love Chloe’s voice, but she needs to realize she isn’t really the rocker she thinks she is. She did not have the right kind of voice for Bette Davis Eyes. Song choice is key.

I loved Addison’s original song - it was the perfect song for her, and she sang it beautifully. I also really, really liked Brooke’s rendition of O, Holy Night.

I am not a Red fan, but that is because I really don’t care for that kind of music. I find it boring. But I realize he does sing it well.

I no longer care who wins this thing. It doesn’t really seem to be about the best singer, given some who were booted off earlier. It’s a way to pass time when I am too tired to do much around the house, and it gives me something to whine about. :slight_smile:

Did Addison ever sing a happy song? She always seems so serious.

Addison remains my favorite of the last four. I thought Chloe might have had it locked up, but now not so sure. I just think Addison has been more interesting with song choices and can see her having a career ahead of her. Bette Davis Eyes did not strike me as a particularly original song choice . Thinking it will come down to Chloe or Addison but you never know.

I listened to the “recap” show from another room tonight and parts of Addison’s “Tennessee Rain” song reminded me of Linda Ronstadt’s “Long Long Time.”

I like Brooke but I thought her song choice, O Holy Night, was risky. And I grew up as a Methodist, so have certainty heard it and thought she did a good job. But, it seemed odd to me as a song choice, knowing there must be a diverse group of people of different religions watching the show and voting.

Nice Addison/Nora Jones duet!

Loved Bang Bang!

just starting watching. So excited. I have avoided looking at this thread and i tunes because I want to be surprised.

Loved Bang Bang, too!

After watching too long, I muted it for half an hour and then turned on for the last 5 minutes.

I think the results were right–including the order.

It was a very exciting season! Congrats to all the finalists and to all my fellow Voice fans who contribute so much to this thread. Here is my final result:

Addison- 2nd place- 35 days
Red- 4th place- 35 days
2,103,000 points

That was a personal best for me, even though Musicmerit kicked my butt and, in all likelihood, musicmom as well! And then there was Consolation’s virtual team… Please post your scores so I can read ‘em and weep.

Season 14 starts Monday 2/26/18. I’ll send you a reminder.

Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas!

I only had Brooke going into the finals.
My point total is 2,350,100.
It was fun. Looking forward to February and hoping my friend makes it onto the Voice!

Nora Jones and Addison made my heart happy. Bang Bang was awesome. I really enjoyed this season…looking forward to the next.

I only had Brooke at the end, also, with 2,123,000 points.
See you next season!
