I wasn't a fan of Vicci's version of Dog Days Are Over (since I'm so overly attached to the original version), but I liked a lot of the other songs. Dia's cover of Losing My Religion was probably my favorite of the night. There's just something about her that is so awesome. If there was going to be a top two (which there won't be), I would pick Dia and Javier. They have amazing voices.

It’s too bad Casey Weston is paired up with Javier. She could easily beat the people on Blake’s and Cee Lo’s teams, but she doesn’t stand a chance against Javier. Besides the shakiness of her voice, I thought the arrangement she had for “IWALY” was beautiful. I personally like it better than the over-the-top Whitney version or the whispery Parton original.
My personal picks: Frenchie, Nakia, Javier, Xenia.
But Beverly, Vicci, and Dia all got America’s vote, so who knows. My personal pick for the win would be either Frenchie or Javier.

Listening to most often lately:
Taylor Swift ~ ~ "The Fate of Ophelia"
Taylor Swift ~ "Eldest Daughter"
Taylor Swift ~ "CANCELLED!"

I like your picks for the final four except for Xenia. She is too young, and the stagefright shows all over her face. Fantastic voice, and great song presentation, but you can tell she is scared to death in front of all the lights.
I think is Javier Colon's title to lose. He was fantastic last night, and I really think that Dia was the best one until Javier hit the stage.
Don't much care for Nakia, I think he has a great voice, but I just don't think he has that special "curb appeal".

I agree, Xenia isn’t at all prepared for it, that’s why I wouldn’t want her to win. But just based on voices alone, I like her voice more than Dia‘s. Dia has a nice voice, but she sounds almost monotone at times.
I don’t care for Nakia or Vicci, to be honest. That’s why I would take Casey over either of those two, but that’s impossible unfortunately.

Xenia is so uncomfortable/scared on stage its hard for me to watch. However her voice isn't bad. In my opinion Dia is the stronger of the 2 on Blake's team, but I wasn't a huge fan of her version of Losing My Religion. I guess I've heard REMs version so long... I don't know, it just didn't work for me.
Javier did good again, but I didn't like his song choice... I think its his title to lose as well. I wouldn't mind them keeping Casey either, but its obvious that Javier will win the vote on Team Adam.
One thing that I did find surprising, and very nice was during Blake's performance. They kept saying 2 special guests and it completely slipped my mind that he could bring out his team. I thought that was really cool of Blake to showcase his team again on the show.
If you didn't have to take one person from each team I would pick... Vicci, Frenchie, Casey, and Javier for the final 4. However I think tonight's vote will see Beverly, Dia, Vicci, and Javier moving on to the finale next week. Although I am curious to see happens with the judge's vote/envelope. Maybe a surprise will make it though?

I'm mostly happy with the four finalists. I knew that Javier, Vicci and Dia were getting into the finals. It was kind of fifty/fifty with Frenchie and Beverly for me. I would have like to have seen Frenchie in the final, but Beverly has a great voice, too. I'm pulling for Dia to win, but it'll more than likely be Javier.

I agree totally. Beverly McClelland winning over Frenchie was a total shock to me. I really thought that Frenchie performed a lot better and her choice of song was way above that of Beverly's, but we will see.
I agree that it's Javier Colon's title to lose. Either he or Dia Frampton will win it all.
Can't wait for next Tuesday night's two-hour finale.

Wasn't surprised with the results at all, but I was hoping Frenchie got picked over Beverly. I agree with dvdjunkie. Frenchie's performance/song choice was a lot better than Beverly's.
I think this is Javier's contest to lose, and I see Vicci coming in 2nd.
I still want Vicci to win. I haven't been a big fan of Dia, but I've went back and listen to some of her performances and she is growing on me a lot. I would be happy if she won as well.

Tonight (Tuesday, June 28) begins the two-night finale and crowning of this year's "The Voice" on NBC.
Tonight the four finalists will be signing two songs, and then tomorrow we will see the results of our voting and watch the crowning of the 2011 Voice Champion. The lucky winner will receive $100,000 and a recording contract.
Javier Colon, Dia Frampton, Vicci Martinez and Beverly McClelland are the finalists. Should be a very entertaining two-hour finale tonight, and a great one-hour results show tomorrow evening.

What a great finale!!! The duets really rocked the stage last night, and each contestant was given an original song to sing for our votes.
Dia Frampton and Blake Shelton did Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down", Cee Lo Green and Vicci Martinez rocked the house with Pat Benatar's "Love Is a Battlefield", Beverly McClelland and Christina Aguilera sang "Beautiful" and Adam Levine and Javier Colon took on Michael Jackson's "Man In The Mirror".
All the duets were done very well, the weakest I think was Adam and Javier, but it could be because I am not a Michael Jackson fan.
Tonight's show, after "America's Got Talent" is the Results Show and special guests include Beyonce' and Brad Paisley and we get to find out who will be crowned "The Voice"!!!

The finale night was boring. All those ballads... *snooze* At least American Idol narrows it down to two so we don't have to hear so many. The only thing I remember standing out was Christina and Beverly's performance of "Beautiful."
Anyway, I'm glad Javier won. He's been my favorite besides Frenchie. I liked Dia alright, but I feel good that Blake didn't win.

I'm kind of upset that Dia didn't win because she was definitely my favorite, but I'm fine with Javier winning. I liked him better than Vicci and Beverly, but I would've liked Dia to win.

Another thing about the Results show that no one else commented on, so I will.
The interview with Katherine McPhee in regards to her new show "Smash" on NBC in the fall. The preview clip that they showed looked very good. Am I right that it is going to be on the same night as "Glee", Tuesday??? I might be mistaken about that, but the show itself looks really good, and McPhee has really gone 'Hollywood" with her new 'look'.
And don't miss the "Final 8 Voice Tour" this summer presented by Sprint. Go to NBC.com to see if it is coming to a town near you.
