The Voice

[Spinderella]

Even if it isn't all the way Radar described it, obviously there was some friction and drama that ensued on set that had CeeLo fuming about it and even when Blake called Tony out for his, "What? What were you saying? something..something but the something just ain't one?" In a sarcastic mocking sort of way.

Yeah, something went down and Adam and Tony should have just taken the high road. Let Christina burn herself if that's the path she's on.

I don't think she had anything against Tony at first. If anything, I think Adam and Tony have kind of mean girled/ganged up on Xtina.

When though? Baby One More Time? She had already made up her mind to give him any and all negative comments by that point. It stuck out so weirdly because they all try to say good stuff, and Tony was no worse than anyone else. If Christina had been even with her criticism of the other so-so singers, no one would have even paid attention.

She's been poking at Adam since the show started. Not sure what the problem is because at best, he ignores her. Maybe that's what bugs her so much. At any rate, he needed to leave it alone and not be a jerkoff. But Adam has been looking and acting oddly fragile and sad since the live shows started.

That's my impression as well, she seemed to single out Tony when he was no worse than the others at that point. It seemed odd. Then she goes on to say he's the predictable choice to Adam when Tony is not on stage, she looks at her cell phone when Tony is making comments to the judges. It stands out because everyone is so positive usually, even after singers have been singing all out of key (imo).

And if even 10% of that story is true, Adam needs to get over himself. It's a shame; last year was so much better.

Yeah, I deliberately watched to see what Christina was doing when Tony said he wanted to thank all four judges ... staring at her phone. She was also holding a Starbucks after his first song, which was weird too. We've never seen her just randomly holding a coffee cup at any other time.

Maybe this was all a plan? At least people are talking about the show. And this makes Blake all the more my secret crush.

Christina & Blake were tweeting about the performances. When Tony was droning on, Christina was tweeting her followers to vote for Chris. I'm assuming Blake was doing the same for his guy.

Actually, if you read the ew.com "on the scene" report Christina completely left the stage during the Adam/Tony song then you see her twice on her phone during his solo Maroon 5 song. You do see Blake looking at his phone too when Tony goes over to hug Adam.

I think Tony and Adam should've taken the high road because this just makes them look bad, but Christina started it and seems to want to be the victim as well.

The whole thing is childish. It's funny when they are fighting over contestants, but at this late in the game it's just annoying.

I've seen all of them (well, except Adam) tweeting on their phones during performances. It's one of the rare times that they actually tweet live and not those faux tweets you get from the first few weeks of the show.

I think Chris Mann is a class act and didn't get sucked into the drama. Tony should have done the same.

I've tried watching this show, and I just cannot. My biggest issue: Christina. Second biggest issue: Adam. I wish they would get rid of those two. That being said, I didn't have a problem with Tony covering 99 Problems. And I don't think it was directed at Christina; she needs to get over herself. Speaking of Tony, I cannot believe it took me this long to figure out that it is the same Tony Lucca that used to date Keri Russell.

[danadel]

They keep mentioning Justin, Britney and Christina on the MMC and I'm always like- what about Keri Russell!!! Love her.

Christina and Adam both let the drama sink their contestants. I'm glad that the final two were completely removed from the situation.

Note to Christina: Wear pants.

That was really the great thing about the outcome OnyxRose. I'm so pleased. The tone of last night really just left a bad taste in my mouth to the point that I work up thinking about it this morning. Yeah, I have issues. I didn't even bother watching the finale tonight but instead fell asleep and woke up to the wonderful news.

But the Christina/Adam thing really did put a damper on things last night. Having said that, I still have no problems with Christina's original comment that Tony was "one-dimensional". That comment in isolation was okay to me because the judges are there to judge. At the end of the day, Tony was the weakest of the 4 and shouldn't have even made it as the finalist for Adam's team. I'm glad popularity didn't carry him through. Speaking of popularity:

Justin Timberlake tweeted to his more than 11 million followers yesterday hours before the show: "Congrats to my boy @luccadoes on the #TheVoice finale! Call it what you want but, get those votes in for my boy!! Let's go!"

Justin Bieber indirectly gave a shoutout to Tony to his more than 21 million followers, but only referred to Adam: "@adamlevine im at your show tomorrow my dude. be ready we are bringing it. good luck to your team. #underdogs all day"

Funny part...Kim Kardashian tweeted her followers today saying Team XTina and asked them to vote for "Chris Mann now". But that was well after the voting was closed.

I also read today that Cee-Lo was ranting on Twitter last night and even said he'd sign Juliet if she lost to Tony. I read that he also said the following: "Even if it caused tony to win miraculously it wouldn't be respectable in my book". He has since which deleted those Tweets though.

I will add that Alicia Keys sent out a tweet of support to Jermaine on May 4th. Alicia also tweeted about an hour ago sending congratulations to Jermaine saying he deserved this.

Bottom line for me, my respect for the show remains. A deserving contestant won.
