The Voice
Season 4
Season 4 is done. Thank god….. I really lost interest in the process of the show this year. However here are my thoughts on the Season 4 Finals
There were 14 total non competition performances. I’m not gonna link them all here, because it would make it one long ass post. The best one in my opinion was the coaches singing a final song for Season 4. I’ll say this here as well, I didn’t much like that they had the contestants doing reprisals of previous songs. I wanted all new songs.
The Coaches – With A Little Help From My Friends
Top 3 Finale Performances:
Team Blake:
The Swon Brothers
Solo: I Can’t Tell You Why
Reprise: Danny’s Song
The Swon Brothers on Finale night stepped it up with an Eagles song! I absolutely loved their performance. So impressed that a Duo finally had their day in the spotlight, even if they came in third place.

Danielle Bradbery
Solo: Born To Fly
Reprise: Maybe It Was Mephis
I don’t know much about Sara Evans’ songs, I liked Danielle’s performance of this, but I was hoping for a different song choice. Something more classic country rather then modern.

Team Usher:
Michelle Chamuel
Solo: Why
Reprise: I Knew You Were Trouble
Michelle’s version of Why was great. All season I’ve been saying that michelle is hit or miss, and I still stand by that. However she really sang the song well, and stepped it up on finale night. I still think that it should have been holly in the finals though.

On Results night it came down to Danielle The Swons and Michelle. OptimusSolo called it, Danielle was the winner, Michelle in second, and the Swon Brothers in third. I love that a duo made it to the Finals. I’m happy that Danielle won, and that it’s a third championship for Team Blake. However I do think if the coaches choices and the voting went down differently we’d have someone else in Michelle’s place.
Season 4 Finals Performances and Results Final Thoughts:
Overall Season 4 has been my least favorite season. I’ve watched Seasons 2-4, and S4 is just frustrating! Congrats to Danielle and all, and I’m happy she won, but Michelle should have gone home instead of Holly. Overall Season 4 had some great, but short lived moments for me. So happy that Garrett Gardner came back, and excelled beyond belief! I did enjoy the coaches interactions and all that, but in general I prefer the Originals. I think I’ll only do these blogs with the cycles Christina and CeeLo are on. I couldn’t stand Shakira half the time. As I’ve stated before, I changed the channel every time she spoke. I just couldn’t get past that. I’m so stoked XTina and CeeLo are returning in the fall for Season 5!!!! BRING ON SEASON 5!!!
The Voice Squad!
The Final Say: Danielle Bradbery
The Final Say: The Swon Brothers
The Final Say: Michelle Chamuel
What You Didn’t See Finals Week
First: Yes, for three straight years I have called the winner after the Blind Auditions! haha
Second: The songs Danielle sung in the finale were not ‘modern’ country haha
Third: I understand your dislike for the season but honestly to me it was second next to last season out of the four
Fourth: I can kinda see why you don’t like Shakira but I have no problem with her. Honestly am NOT looking forward to have Christina back. In a perfect world I’d like to see the four male coaches duke it out but I suppose we would get not eye candy that way. Usher was phenomenal this year so I’m going to miss him this next season.
Fifth: I love that they do a ‘turning point’ or ‘pinnacle’ song in the finale – I think it really brings things full circle. You didn’t like when Cassadee sang that song a second time last year?? Exactly!
I’m ready for next year, gotta see if my streak can continue :) !!
YES Born To Fly is modern… it came out in 2000 That’s the only one I was meaning when I said I wish Danielle would have done another classic country tune. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_to_Fly_(song)
I didn’t even bring up the duets, which I should have, but I didn’t care for them this year.
As far as the shining moment songs… for some I thought… they chose that to be the shining moment? Specifically for michelle I thought True Colors would have been a better shining moment song. Season 3 so far has been the best for me… as the overall package of the show.
I meant to pose a challenge to you in the post, but forgot to write it in. How about in the future I write the Xtina seasons and you write the Shakira seasons? LOL
The Voice S5 will be back in Sept this year I think is what Carson said.
We need to podcast about this stuff soonish.
The only thing you said that I agree with is that True Colors should have been the song for Michelle.
As far as the modern thing…I was still in High School in 2000…I’m damn near 32 now…aka NOT modern anymore lmao! I’m sorry man but something that is 13+ years old is not modern!
Classics to me are Garth Reba Brooks & Dunn Martina Alan Jackson Stuff from the 90s … is now “my” classic country.
Sara Evans is so not classic compared to Pam Tillis Tanya tucker and all them.
I was in college in 2000 and your point? LOL
You bring up an interesting point. I never said any of the songs were ‘classic’. I simply said that they were not modern. Its not an ‘either – or’ situation.
