i hope that you haven't tired of my voice reports. this is probably the first time i've watched a full season all the way to the end. and i worked late monday which means i watched all four hours of the last two episode in succession last night. so i am going to hit you with all my favorites in a row, and there's a bunch, so buckle up.
jicyww, the first of two finale episodes included each finalist doing a traditional performance of a song selected by the coach, one duet with the coach, and one original songwriter-written song picked by the coach (matt wrote his own).
boyfriends chris jamison and adam levine do robin thicke's maybe-best-song "lost without u".
here's what damien as an actual solo artist might look like, singing a max martin-penned original song "soldier". boring.
more falsetto in matt's duet with adam singing an adam levine song from some movie?
we were also treated to chris jamison doing some timberlake.
on to the second part of the finale, which was an amazing collection of guest performances, some including contestants. there was so much to see here.
if you've never seen hozier do "take me to church" live, you should check this out. talk about the VOICE.
watch bruno mars do that funk song in CURLERS!!!!
damien joined j-hud for one of her songs and omg she looks incredible!
and i absolutely loved this performance by jessie j with chris j.
you may have noticed that nowhere in this post was craig wayne boyd mentioned. despite my complete lack of interest in his brand of musicianship, he won the voice. so WHATEVER. #teamelyjuh
i did love his "bring back" performance with fellow contestants danica, taylor brashears, and sugar joans. worth a watch.
also, please do not miss gwen vamping in this little christmas diddy by the coaches.
see y'all next season!

the voice report
well last night was GREAT. and i have three favorites this time.
the first performance of the ep was this team adam pairing of energetic damian and really-good-but-a-little-too-meek kelli. they performed it pretty flawlessly, but she really didn't stand a chance. pharell was all "YAAAAASSSS".
i also really loved this version of "yellow" by matt and ethan. matt's a poor kid who chokes up when he says he just wants to be able to take care of his mom, so i am always rooting for him.
and if you only watch one performance from the night, you're going to want to watch toya and danica go to TOWN on "halo". the magic of this one was when, once again, alicia keys solved the riddle of how to make the performance great, by asking them "whose halo do you see?" and they both ended up having dead dads and started sobbing. then pharell said things like "sing it like you're in the bathroom" and "you're both standing there like backup singers but YOU ARE STARS." and then they killt it.
last round of battles tonight. gwen has one steal left, even though she keeps trying to last-second-steal adam's steals. not really working for her. and at this point i'm kind of glad because she is making interesting (terrible) choices with her team and i don't usually care for the results.
gawker recap here.
oh and you guys.... gwen stefani has a new song!
UPDATE: and a new video!

please welcome...
...my official early favorite voice contestant, elyjuh rene!
he is 18 and adorable and loves his mom and has braces and sang beyonce and picked pharell to be his coach and it was thrilling. it should be noted that i watched the first ep of the season last night and the new judges have wonderfully entertaining banter and gwen is still amazing and pharell is the sweeeeetest. second episode is on tonight if you wanna get in early.
bonus link: all 4 judges perform "hella good" together.

raise your hand if you like maroon 5's new song (feat. xtina)
mine's raised, jicyww. stick around for xtina in this video. so many mixed emotions.
i think it's official. i don't hate adam levine. in fact, he seems to be a genuinely nice guy.
