That’s actually what I thought about, of all people last night, Cee Lo.
I have no idea what kind of music he does. I probably don’t like it (being an old biddy partial to Broadway and 70’s and 80’s music). But gawdamn if I don’t want to go see one if his shows now! The man is obviously a great showman, and I want to go see his show, no matter what kind of music he’s making.
Cee Lo Green - Fuck You Video (not safe for work - language). I love this song way more than I feel I should. 
Cee Lo is the man.
And wide-eyed, head shakin’ “woo!” notwithstanding: Beverly! Beverly! Beverly! Beverly! For a hundred reasons, but for me the biggest is that the woman is authentically passionate about music in a way I just don’t see in any of the others.
But yeah, it would be good for her to lose the crazy-eye, head-shakin’ “woo!” shit.
Great performances in the finale. I have no idea who will win.
My pick is Dia. But, that’s just my personal favorite.
I would be gobsmacked if Beverly wins. I think she is the weakest of the 4 finalists.
Ooooooh…THAT’S Cee Lo? I love that song! Yeah, I’d totally enjoy one of his concerts! 
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Stevie!!!
Oh! that was absolutely beautiful!
(Javier and Stevie)
Congrats to Javier. First winner of the voice.
Hopefully the record execs will offer contracts to the others as well. Apparently songs from The Voice have been setting Itunes on fire. They said Javier and Dia’s songs were #1 and #2 on Itunes last night.
Wonder when they’ll have the Stevie duet up. I’ll buy that.
Well, that was an interesting show (overall, I mean). I loved having the coaches involved every step of the way. It was an interesting result, too - I think every one one of those four has great potential as a bona fide star.
HOLY effing COW!!! I have a THREE degree connection to Stevie Nicks!!!
A friend of mine (who is a singer/songwriter) is very good friends with Javier. They went to college togehter, and he even performed at her music fest! I saw him BEFORE he was big…I remember he sang a lot of " Which Backstreet Boy is Gay?" style songs, but also a lot of upbeat songs too.
So cool I knew him when!
It was insane how into it the judges were there at the end. Adam looked like his whole world was riding on the result.
I love Stevie Nicks, but what was that weird shit she was doing with her hand. It looked like she was conducting Javier…
I generally don’t get into these kind of shows, but it was nice to see this one have the judges at least seem like they really cared about the people and the results.
She was conducting Javier. And probably the band. They were doing a lot of holds rather than beat counts, so it makes sense to all cue off one person, and since she’s the senior artist, pick her.
Anyone else think it should have been Stevie paired with Dia? Then it could have been the two cartoon voice characters in one song. 
Actually, I enjoyed that performance, and Dia and Miranda Lambert’s as well, even though I’m not a huge fan of “country voice”. On Beverly’s it seemed a few of her notes near the end were off, to me.
I have to say I’m not surprised. I think I said a while back that Javier would win if he could dial back the flair, and he managed to make improvements in that. Plus, he wasn’t wearing his crooked hat. I told you that would work.
All 8 finalists will be touring the country, hitting IIRC 6 spots: Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, Boston, New York, Conneticut. Was there a Pennsylvania as well? Heavily east coast, no south or central stops listed.
I imagine that at least the top 4 will be able to get some kind of deal out of this. With the way they trended on iTunes, music execs would be fools not to take advantage of it.
Jim and I picked up on that, too, and our conclusions were the same - when you sing a duet with Stevie Frickin’ Nicks, she can direct you all she wants.
When Stevie started singing, I burst out laughing - she sounds like a goat!
I went and looked up that song (Good Life by OneRepublic), and it sounds a lot better when the singer hits the notes. Beverly was a disaster at the end of that song.
I don’t think Dia and Miranda were a good pairing - Dia couldn’t even start to hold her own against Miranda when she started belting it out.
At least Adam and Blake looked like they were almost in tears at points in the results show. I couldn’t get a read on CeeLo - he may or may not have cared about Vicci. Christina seemed to be the vapid, self-centred piece of crap that she has always appeared to be. All just my opinions, of course. 
Genuinely curious about why you say this.
I thought all of the judges were genuinely emotionally involved with their proteges–far more than I would have guessed before the show started. Blake, in particular, seems very protective and supportive of Dia.
They all seemed genuinely interested in and to care about their proteges. They certainly all made noises as such. I wonder how long that lasts, and how that holds up when they start doing more seasons. I can imagine something like that getting draining/repetitive by, say, season 5. I think the novelty of the first time has something to do with it.
I will say that during a few of her comment segments she seemed somewhat flat in aspect/cold/tired. But overall I didn’t get the impression she didn’t care, just worn down a bit.
I guess it isn’t accurate to say Christina didn’t appear to care; she just appeared to care about herself more. I’m basing this on ongoing comments of hers of the, “But enough about me - tell me what YOU think about me” nature, but it was more of an impression than one particular thing.
Oh - an aside from Tuesday’s show - did anyone else catch CeeLo doing that very vulgar, forked fingers up to his mouth and waggling his tongue gesture? How did that make it onto broadcast television?
