Here we are...one more night for the top four to prove why you should vote for them to be The Voice.

 

The night gets kicked off with a performance by the coaches of a medley of different songs, followed by a look back at the road to the final four. For tonight's episode, each contestant will be singing one original song and one duet with their coach and then it goes into the hands of America, as they will choose the winner by their votes...no points from the coaches this week.

 

Kicking off the original songs is Team Adam and Javier Colon. Singing it for his family, he debuts, "Stitch By Stitch." Singing and playing his guitar, Javier delivers another one of his amazing performances. This guy can sing, and I have said that throughout the show. He has great range and vocals and just has a presence on stage that you thoroughly enjoy to watch.

 

Sidenote: I know I normally say that the judges give such positive comments to all of the singers, which continued tonight, but oh my...could Christina seem any more uninterested in what was going on tonight? She seemed very bored when giving her input...sorry to inconvenience you with one more week of the show, girl.

 

Up next, we get to see the duet between Blake and Dia Frampton for Team Blake as they sing "I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty. In black sunglasses and black suits, it was a fun performance and showed off the unique voice that Dia offers the competition.

 

The next original song is from Team CeeLo and Vicci Martinez. Premiering her song, "Afraid To Sleep," Vicci starts out more on the calm side on the smoky stage. This is a different side of her, especially from her warrior dance side, but it is a great side to see. She shows off some great emotion while singing and also shows some great vocals.

 

We get to see a performance by Pitbull and NeYo singing "Give Me Everything," so we see The Voice bringing in the big name stars for their finale show too.

 

Our next duet is between Christina and Beverly McClellan for Team Christina as they sing "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera (let's get over yourself a little Christina). Now, this has always been one of my favorite songs and this rendition was amazing and brought a tear to my eye. The words and seeing Beverly sing it was emotional to see. So, I agree with Christina choosing this song for them.

 

Our next original song is from Team Blake and Dia, as she debuts her song, "Inventing Shadows." Getting behind the piano again for this performance, Dia has an amazing performance. She has such a unique and different voice and I really do want to hear more from her. It's refreshing to hear...she has good range and has a voice you could hear on the radio. Every week she has won me over more and more and did it again tonight.

 

Team Adam is up next with Adam and Javier singing their duet, "Man In The Mirror." by Michael Jackson. Looking all slick in all black, they put on a good performance. This song was more intended to showcase Javier's voice and it did just that. Good choice Adam!

 

Another star performance and time filler-upper, as Brad Paisley takes the stage singing his song, "Don't Drink The Water." Blake makes his way up to the stage and joins him in singing their duet and showing off some country class.

 

The last original song comes from Team Christina and Beverly McClellan, as she premieres her song, "Love Sick." We get to rockin' with her performance and you can totally tell she is feeling this song. She has a great stage presence and works the crowd so well. She looks natural up there and you can see that she is up there having fun...it's contagious...she definitely made me want to get up there on stage with her and dance it out with her during this song.

 

Our last duet of the night is CeeLo and Vicci for Team CeeLo, singing "Love Is A Battlefield" by Pat Benatar. And a battle is what they did on stage. This was a great duet and so fun and entertaining, but of course it was because CeeLo always puts on a show.

 

So, America votes and only one of these amazing people can come out on top. I have no clue who it will be, but I won't be upset to hear any of their names announced. We find out the results when The Voice airs Wednesday at 8/7c on NBC.
