The Voice Season 4 - Final performances
Okay. Danielle is going to win. Let's just get that out of the way. As incredible and deserving as Michelle is, she is going to come in second place tonight.
Danielle's repeat performance of "Maybe it Was Memphis" was her best performance of the season. More importantly though, it showed how much she has already grown as a performer in the short time since she originally performed it. She flat out sang it better this time. More nuance, more emotion and all the God-given precision she has been gifted with. When you add her closing out performance of Sara Evans' "Born to Fly" you have a recipe for voter overload. She will win it tonight. And didn't I say a few weeks ago that Sara Evans was a perfect fit for her vocally? Didn't I call that? Yep.
Michelle's performance of "Why" might actually be the best performance of the season by anyone. It was amazeballs as Terry Mac would say. Her duet with Usher was also an incredible performance. I want her to be the winner of this season. I have her versions of "Clarity" and "Call Your Girlfriend" on my active playlist right now. I love the tone of her voice and the power and depth she brings to her performances. I will be waiting to see what happens after the Voice ends. I have no doubt Usher will be involved somehow. The friendship between them seems genuine on both sides.
The Swon Brothers really have made a strong argument for deserving to be in the finals. They have really come together as a duo and it seems that their very best moments happen beside a piano. They were solid last night and you can expect to hear them on the radio for years to come. They are the real deal. "I Can't Tell You Why" was a surprising choice and showed another facet of their sound.
I thought it was funny that Michelle sang "Why" and the Swon Brothers sang "I Can't Tell You Why." It's too bad the producers didn't think of having Michelle sing her song first.
All-in-all, it has been a great season on the Voice and I am sad to see it come to an end. I can't believe Blake is going to win for a 3rd straight season. He really should take a season off and let Miranda sit in his big red chair for one round. If I keep saying that, maybe it will happen.
