I finally realized why Jamar Rogers looked so familiar to me. He was Danny Gokey's friend on American Idol who should've made it to the live shows, but the judges cut him.

Christina is such a ****. Her bitch comments are probably getting Tony more votes than taking away from him. I don't think he's the even in Juliet's league but I want to see him win just to stick it to Christina.

Cant quote above, because I HATE that word, but I agree with the sentiment. I never wanted to bitch slap anyone more than I want to bitch slap Christina. Her attitude towards Adam and especially Tony has been downright RUDE. SHe couldnt even celebrate and give him kudos for being in the final. AND did she call his son his daughter??? And then when he was paying his respects to the coaches she was picking at her nails or texting. Someone needs to call her out. Love that Adam did but he kept it classy. She's horrible.

Yeah, she was so offset night. I felt she was better early on, but now she's worse than S1. Plus she always has to bring it back to her. Why did I sound bad - oh I'm sick.

Also, whoever dressed her for duet should be fired. Worst thing she could possibly wear. Breasts looked so bad almost falling out, and then the straps too tight on the back.

Based on last night, I'd say Chris Mann should win. However, I think Jermain might have been helped by his duet. Unfortunately, Juliette may have peaked last week.

age (and Twinkies) is a bitch.

Christina Aguilera is such a hypocrite. I'm hoping Tony Lucca takes it all.

If iTunes is any indication, in their top 100 right now:

#3 Lucca's 99 Problems
#7 Lucca and Levine's Yesterday
#10 Juliet's Free Bird
#11 Mann and Aguilera's Prayer
#12 Mann's You Raise Me Up
#13 Jermaine's I Believe I Can Fly

I figure this is like Idol - you may be better off in he long run not winning.

I was a Tony Lucca fan before this show, so I've been rooting for him but not really expecting him to win. However, the Itunes charts make it seem like he has a really good shot at this! I know that many of the votes are being cast against Christina rather than for Tony. So, I find it comical that her obvious disdain for him keeps putting him in the spotlight, and ultimately closer to winning the whole thing.

Chris Mann seemed uncomfortable with Christina's behavior. I definitely noticed him glance Adam's way when Christina made her "real man" comments. I feel bad for the guy, as he's the one being penalized for Christina's outbursts. I hope she isn't invited back next year.

On a different note, I thought Freebird was an awful choice of a song. I'm a Skynyrd fan, but that song is really kinda boring, and gave her no place to go.

JayDerek

what started her on this? Admittedly, I didn't see much of this show the past couple weeks, but did something happen?

Goat3001

Maybe something behind the scenes because when she first saw Tony she seemed genuinely excited for him to be there. Or maybe she's just pissed that all her more successful Mickey Mouse Club friends are on his side.

I actually think Lucca wins. His performance yesterday was the most "download-worthy". I think Jermaine and Chris Mann both have better voices but we all know it's not always about that. I can see Juliet pulling it out too.

Patman

I always got a douchey vibe from Chris Mann.

I like how Juliet swings for the fences when she sings, but she's more a live-performance type of talent, not quite a recording artist.

Lucca bores me.

Jermaine reminds me of that black gay copy on "The Shield".

JMLEWIS1

The first time she got really pissy to him was on a performance night after Justin timberlake had tweeted to his followers that they should support Tony...maybe she thought it was an unfair advantage, but hey, the guy is friends with timberlake so why not use it?

leeta

Oh wow.. now I remember him... can't believe I hadn't noticed this before. He got quite a bit of air time in those first weeks.

leeta

It seemed like Flo Rida was kinda ignoring Juliet after and even during their performance.

chowderhead

She actually believes this is a singing competition . Justin Bieber also tweeted to his fans he hopes Adam/Adam's team wins. I think it will be 2 in a row for Adam and the 1st WGWG for the Voice.

Superman07

Couldn't make it to the end last night, but I'm surprised by the results. Although to be fair I don't think anybody was ever a clear gap front runner. At least there is debate surrounding this year in the days to follow.

movieking

I'm fine with Jermaine winning, but I honestly think having Christina as his coach may have cost Chris Mann some votes at the end, based on how she was acting in the last few weeks. Aside from Tony Luca, I would have been happy with any of the other three winning.

Laertes

Are you sure? I ask because when I first saw him, that's who I thought it was. I watched that season of AI really closely because 1) it was the only season that our office had an office pool, and 2) I hate hate hate Danny Gokey. I thought that Jamar was that guy, but I talked myself out of it because I didn't think Jamar's back story matched for some reason and I couldn't imagine this Jamar being friends with AI Danny Gokey.

Dr. Henry Jones, Jr.

Yeah, it's him. Tons of stuff about it if you google Jamar Gokey.

Laertes

To which I can only say "ugh." I was right, then I talked myself out of it. I take this opportunity to once again say that I cannot stand Danny Gokey. Ugh.

Patman

Did AI play up the HIV angle with Jamar, or just his friendship with the Gokey?

Laertes

No mention of Gokey (unless I fast forwarded through it). Hence my uncertainty and eventual mistaken belief it wasn't him. They played up the survivor/redemption angle of his story.

DVDChris

Yeah I talked myself out of it in the beginning as well. Then I decided to look it up. Jamar should've made it on Idol along with Gokey.

DJariya

Congrats to Jermaine Paul. He wasn't my favorite, but I liked him and most of his performances.

I saw most of the finale and enjoyed his rendition of "I believe I can Fly" even though that song is beyond tired and overplayed.

I have to see what kind of album he plans to put out before I can fully judge him as an artist. I hope Universal Records will get him some good Producers and Songwriters. IMO, he needs to work with a good Producer to refine his vocals.


I think the trouble with Chris Mann is him being pretty 1-dimensional. He's very talented singer, but based on his song selections on Monday, he just came across as a 2nd rate Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban. Recording-wise, his audience will be pretty small IMO.
