The Voice was SPECTACULAR this season. I don’t listen to music much because I get too emotional. And I hate music in the grocery store unless it is elevator music. I don’t need more reasons to cry. But for some reason singing competitions are my jam.
I CANNOT STOP WATCHING THIS! Or stop sobbing. So Beautiful. How can any of these finalist not win? All of them are fantastic. This is John Holiday and John Legend.
OMG. I can’t. And that isn’t even who I picked to win. I picked Jim Ranger on Team Blake. But last night I thought it was Des. The best thing about this show is they always sing songs I know.
SPOILER ALERT! I AM ABOUT TO LIST THE ORDER OF THE TOP FIVE AND I AM ALREADY PISSED!
JOHN FUCKING HOLIDAY CAME IN FIFTH? FIFTH BEFORE IAN? WHAT THE HOLY HELL IS HAPPENING HERE? NOW DESZ IS FOURTH? FOURTH! WHAT THE HOLY HELL? Finally they get rid of IAN! He so should have been fifth. It’s down to my buy Jim Ranger and the kid Carter. Team Blake versus Team Gwen. I feel like the Carter kid is a plant. It’s funny that Erica use to do these recaps and we would argue all the time. And Jim is my favorite and Carter is hers. So here we go. And fuck. Carter wins. I was so sure it would be Jim.
Dammit. What a disappointment. He was so overtrained. I hate everyone. This show is a travesty. NO MORE FUCKING CHILDREN ON THIS SHOW. He will end up at Liberty University. He is so over coached. He is like a fifty year old man in a kids body. He’s been coached into being a Bot. This is ridiculous. No more children on this show!
I really thought Desz or Jim was going to win! I am very disappointed.
Desz was robbed.
I liked the top five, felt that they represented the best of the season. I was glad the kid won because I was rooting for Gwen Stefani to win what I believe is her first time. TT, I get what you’re saying about Carter being over produced. He actually reminds me of young Wayne Newton who also came off as a old man in a young mans body in his time.
I say this as someone who knows people who have been to Liberty College, There was another winner from there previous. He was great but he was highly trained just like this kid, The are religious bots. They have rehearsed every answer to any question. They are extremely well spoken they are vocally trained from near birth. They are excellent performers. But that is not what this show is about. I almost didn’t vote last night because everyone was so good. I voted for Jim and Dez. But after John Holiday performed tonight I wanted him to win. It was just an ending with a thud. Most of Twitter thinks Desz was robbed. I would have been happy with any win other than Carter or Ian.
I’m still in love with the Worth The Wait trio.
Yeah, I loved them too.
Tonight’s Voice finale was exactly what I needed. Positive, happiness, lots of music, etc. It delivered! I was really hoping for Desz ot John to win based off their season as a whole. I always thought Jim Ranger was good, but last night he really delivered! I wish this season wasn’t so short
I’m very happy for him and meeeeee!
I think we are the reason they were top two!!!!
I don’t think he’s destined for Liberty University – he’s a theater geek. I can spot ’em a mile away. At his age, I was one of his people but because I had no talent for the stage – I earned my membership to the Thespian Association as a stage hand/stage manager (I’m good at bossing people around) Plus he said it. LOL.
How I thought the top 5 was going to go? Carter or Desz in the top two. Jim Ranger 3rd (he was strong in one of his songs, but not as much with the other one. John Holiday 4th. Yes 4th. There were moments I winced a little in both songs last night. I don’t know if it was song choice, or too much in his high range. Then Mr. I can never remember his name because he had zero personality. He got in only because Blake has an INSANE twitter following of country. But I knew Jim & Mr. Cellophane would split the vote.
Carter was consistently fantastic over the entire season and was excellent last night.
If we were just judging on last night? DESZ ALL THE WAY.
It was clear last night that Desz and Kelly REALLY made a connection. I started tearing up when Desz was trying not to be emotional – my parents said “What is wrong?” I said “I think she’s trying not to cry, she probably looked at Kelly” and it is too hard. Then they went to Kelly who WAS crying and Desz started crying.
I loved the mom and daughter trio – their nerves got the best of them.
It was a great season. Special nod to John Legend. OMG, his performances tonight. And doing this while he and Chrissy are going through what they are? It must have been hard for some of the Voice family to not hug him.
It was a great season with talented people but I was really rooting for Desz or Jim to win. Happy for Carter though… competition was so close with the final 5.
Carter is talented but his voice hasn’t even changed yet, I did a concert choir 100 years ago when I was young and we had a kid like him that the leaders all loved due to his falsetto soprano. Fast forward two years and his voice wasn’t the same. And it sure isn’t something I’d listen to on the radio.
Desz was my favorite of the finalists, I’m bummed she didn’t win.
Jim might have won except for the season we just finished in the spring also had a middle aged white guy pastor win, so maybe people wanted to go another way? 🤷♀️
I fell asleep for the last 20 minutes. I really enjoy watching the voice on Monday nights. My husband and I give Gwen a hard time the way she dresses and behaves. Thanks for the recap!
I loved this season! I enjoy how the judges tease one another. I was hoping for John Holiday to win.
I am day drinking and now going to binge watch this. When I still was on cable, I would always record The Voice so I could fast forward to people singing.
TT, you are right, I am already crying. It is so lovely to see normal people to have a chance to excel. Every day people are amazing.
TT I stop watching after Anthony Evans was on the show. Blake individuals always win, so I felt there was no need to watch. Both of these men have beautiful voices.
Blake was kind of hogtied this season. All the judges had one person each. Then the four the coaches didn’t choose to be their final person all competed and the audience picked. They picked Ian I think. So Blakes massive fanbase had two people to choose from. All the other people’s fans only had one to choose from.
Was a fabulous finale!!!!!!
Off topic: listening to Andy Cohen today explaining he does not work for Bravo in any capacity. Remains EP with RH’s PRODUCTION Company’s,not Bravo. Instant recall your post a year or so announcing he & Bravo cut ties & we “heard it here first…” Touché’🎯
I’m surprised the actually said that again. Lately he has been acting like he makes decisions about who leaves and who stays.
I’ve seen him get some shit about Southern Charm on Twitter – about how could he bring back Kathryn, etc.
Yeah, he’s never had any control over Southern Charm.
I’ve heard him really be nice to people when it first started, he first left Bravo’s vice presidency.
But the last time I listened (shit, 8 months ago? It was my morning commute), I could tell he was getting a teensy bit frustrated with the ones who would call in, gush that they were HUGE fans of his, read his books, etc… and then berate him for keeping someone on a show he wasn’t a producer of. He’s explained before that yes, he’s listed as an exec. producer of the RH, and while the production company might ask his opinion, it ISN’T his sole decision on who to fire and hire – that he’s actually disagreed with it. He gets the “screeners” more b/c he does the reunions and so he can talk about what is going on when they pop up on WWHL.
I know you know this – but I feel like it is worth repeating. It gets tiresome for those of us who follow or listen to him too!
Get up Tamara time to Fight for Your Life. If you don’t fight for
it no one will …it’s just that simple but things could be a lot worse you could be a woman in Croatia right now scraping up powdered milk you droped to feed your kids. ( I saw this happen from that moment on I stole her fight for life home with me, it inspired me) You got this ,,you want to start a travel blog cool,, you want to get an office job cool whatever f****** takes to be okay is what you need to do.. Rooting for you I! ‘m your cheerleader ! Thanks for so many wonderful memories , articles and the things I didn’t catch when I was watching it. You’re a great writer and I should know I have five degrees LOL I find you very Mark Twain like ,you’re so real and honest you put it out there . You’ve jumped in the flame of life and you shared it with all of IT with us for that… I’ll always thank you. But you do inspire me so I’d hope to see you here like this always.
Any of the top five but Carter!
I’ve never watched this (maybe will try to find it on demand now), but am trying to “walk the talk” of showing you love with more posts. I just wanted to say, TT that I can relate to the crying about music (like many people, I think😊). I swear, yesterday, I was having a comfort food cooking blitz with ham/bean soup and biscuits (12 inches of snow up here), and listening to the local Christmas music station. Some sick-ass producer on this station decided to play every fucking, single, sad Christmas song that was ever written, over and over and over. One after the other – “I’ll be home for Christmas”, “Bells will be ringing”, Dolly Parton’s “Hard candy Christmas”, even the one about the little boy whose mother had just died who wanted to buy shoes for her in heaven. All in a row!!
I was a complete wreck…..
