<p>Uh…someone will be happy. Michelle Schmamuel (sp?) is performing next. (xiggi: special request. Do NOT comment. Please.)</p>
<p>You can download songs at the @starbucks NFTs | Voice</p>
<p>First person STAYING as a finalist is Tessanne. Again, no shock.</p>
<p>Cassadee Pope and Danielle Bradbery will sing next.</p>
<p>Cassadee is now singing. </p>
<p>Several contestants from past shows are in the audience. Carson lists songs out by them and other past contestants.</p>
<p>Danielle is now singing.</p>
<p>Yes, Carson she did sound ridiculous. Yawn.</p>
<p>Haha, Jonri, my Belkin Sling is still stuck on the Biggest Loser. I won’t comment as it would be entirely predictable. I am sure she did as well as she humanly can. ;)</p>
<p>Next person STAYING is Jacquie Lee. Jacquie did not look the least bit surprised. Didn’t even try to fake it.</p>
<p>Congrats, dstark!</p>
<p>So, as predicted, it’s between Cole and Will as to which will stay…</p>
<p>And, the one staying is…</p>
<p>Will.</p>
<p>As predicted by itunes downloads.</p>
<p>So that’s a wrap :)!</p>
<p>And the xiggi and dstark bet is still alive 
:)!</p>
<p>And Blake’s run is over!</p>
<p>Thoughts?</p>
<p>I want to see Will win (although I do admit that Tessanne has a wonderful voice).</p>
<p>Cole was indeed the second Nicholas. Duck Dynasty only goes so far. That iTunes multiplier is brutal. The Caribbean economy must be way down with all the spending. </p>
<p>Crazy format.</p>
<p>Regarding the bet, at this stage, I would prefer Dstark to win over Tessanne, even if I think Jacque should have been sent home a few weeks ago. I like. Will the best, but I think that the Adam votes will go to the lady. </p>
<p>Either way, this was a very poor season from start to finish.</p>
<p>Jonri, thanks for the updates. </p>
<p>It is down to 1 vs 2, xiggi.</p>
<p>If Tessanne didnt hit the number 1 spot on itunes, I would think that would be an even bet. :)</p>
<p>Bye Cole. The Dynasty Duck look didn’t work. Hmmm, will this be the third time a teen girl will win? I would have to switch my votes to Will. I mean silently root for him since I don’t actually vote.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t think so. From the official rules:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How well did the former champions sing tonight?</p>
<p>Can I comment about past champions? Because it was clear why I was asked to NOT comment about the loser of last year. </p>
<p>Fwiw, Daniele showed why she won in a landslide and what … singing is all about. She did not run out of breath. Wonder how the iTunes sales will go from the 1-2-3 of last year. /insert smile :)</p>
<p>That is a naive conclusion, OhMom. The islanders know how to access the US and circumvent the rules. </p>
<p>Here is just one way, among dozens others tools.</p>
<p>[How</a> to vote for Tessanne Chin on The Voice from Jamaica - YouTube](<a href=“http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=muhClux6XRs&app=m]How”>YouTube)</p>
<p>Or </p>
<p><a href=“http://anniepaul.net/2013/11/12/operation-tessanne-shoring-up-votes-for-jamaicas-voice/[/url]”>http://anniepaul.net/2013/11/12/operation-tessanne-shoring-up-votes-for-jamaicas-voice/</a></p>
<p>I am aware that some Jamaicans a) have a computer with internet access, b) have the tech savvy to use a VPN and c) will go through all that to vote, but honestly if you think my naive conclusion was that not many are doing that, I’ll stand by it.</p>
<p>Not at all. The naive conclusion was that the OFFICIAL rules you quoted precluded the supporters of a Caribbean singer to vote. </p>
<p>As far as people being sophisticated enough to use a VPN outside the US, one has to consider the massive attraction of the US programs. And the remarkable ease of hiding a connection.</p>
<p>Xiggi, this is a singing show…</p>
<p>Let’s be nice…</p>
<p>^ fair enough. I apologize for derailing. It appeared to me that xiggi was setting up Tessanne to not deserve winning if/when she does, because of a massive number of (illegal) “Islander votes”. </p>
<p>The fact that I even care surprises me a little.</p>
<p>Eh, the results show was boring. You’re better of watching and listening to A Great Big World at the VS Secret Fashion show. Adam was there giving his gf a standing ovation.</p>
<p>I didn’t watch a bit of last nights show but I’m pulling for Will to win it all.</p>
