Yeah, last year's Voice winner had put out a somewhat succesful R&B album with a couple of songs that got rotation on urban radio but he never really broke through. I was surprised to see him pop up on the show and unsurprised that he won because he already had a fan base going in and he could really sing. I actually really like that aspect of The Voice, that the almost famous crowd does not get shut out like they do on Idol. I think it's interesting, though, that even with the boost from winning the show, Javier still did not break through and become an R&B superstar. Makes me wonder if he is really just lacking that "it" thing that creates a star, because he's certainly talented enough based solely on his voice.

Crap, now I have to decide if I care enough to stay up til 11 to see who wins. It's a pretty good show so far, I have to say!

Poor sick Juliet, getting a little help! Nice.

I know it's different teams, but I can't believe Juliet made it over Katrina. SHE has a voice.

I will say, it's better than most Idol finales. More entertaining anyway. The piece on Purrfect was pretty funny.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
amen to that.
I haven't watched an AI finale since the first (at least not from beginning to end). I get bored WAY quick.
Not "The Voice" finales tho.

I liked the way they did the song choices and performances last night, too.

I hope this Bieber asshole tries to hug Christina again.
