Was it just me, or are we in agreement thatВ Maroon 5вЂ™s new ditty вЂњThis SummerвЂ™s Gonna HurtвЂќ was a cacophonous, mumbled mess? (And if your answer is вЂњit was just you, buddy,вЂќ then please leave contact info for AARP along with whatever stingingВ retort you make down in the comments, K?)ДЄfter Mia ZвЂ™s absurdly early exit from Season 8, Pharrell Williams promptly hit the studio with her -В and the resulting single is already on iTunes! (IвЂ™m about to download it in 5, 4, 3, 2вЂ¦) Who says nothing good can come from those interminable Sprint Skybox interview segments? I was stupidly excited for the duet between John Fogarty and Sawyer Fredericks -В and thereвЂ™s no doubt their voices blended beautifully on a terrific medley of вЂњBad Moon Rising,вЂќ вЂњBorn on the BayouвЂќ and вЂњHave You Ever Seen the Rain.вЂќ But the way their voices kept fading out, then booming back to the front of the mix, then slipping away again, made me wonder if someone in the control booth had accidentally mixed up his or her water with BlakeвЂ™s вЂњclear liquidвЂќ delight.ДЇINALE SONG THAT SHOULD GIVE UP ITS INEVITABLE SPOT AT RADIO TO SAWYERвЂ™S вЂњPLEASEвЂќ So while Meghan Linsey and Sarah Potenza were appropriately scratchy/howly (albeit not truly angsty enough for my taste) on вЂњPiece of My Heart,вЂќ my main reaction to it was wondering why Meghan didnвЂ™t use her opportunity to spread the wealth among her fallen comrades. Typically, if you make it all the way to The Voice finale, you choose four (or even five) of your colleagues to join you on the stage for a feel-good group outing. But why give вЂ™em such prime performance slots without requiring them to include members of the Season 8 Top 20? I mean, whether or not you lamented the early exits of Sonic, Nathan Hermida, Rob Taylor and Hannah Kirby, didnвЂ™t they deserve a moment in the spotlight (outside the iffy Top 20 вЂњfun.вЂќ medley), too? And Luke Bryan made quite the impression singing about corn and dust or something like that. Meghan TrainorвЂ™s вЂњDear Future HusbandвЂќ was adorable.

If laughter is the best revenge, then Cher-tinaвЂ™s вЂњWhoвЂ™s Blake Shelding?вЂќ and вЂњAdam Levine -В is that my accountant?вЂќ made up for her team members Kimberly and India tragically getting the boot in the last two weeks before the finale.Д«UT HOW COME THEY DIDNвЂ™T HAVE ANY SEASON 8 FINALISTS ON STAGE WITH вЂEM? Xtina spoofed Miley Cyrus, Cher, Shakira, Gaga and (most brutally of all) Britney Spears in a вЂњlost coach casting videoвЂќ compilation. I sometimes forget Christina AguileraвЂ™s wicked Kim Cattrall impression on SNL from back in the day - quick! somebody revoke my gay card! -В but tonight, she pulled off a task harder than a female coach taking home the Voice trophy: Making one of the showвЂ™s pre-taped comedy segments undeniably hilarious. And IвЂ™m not being biased toward my Season 8 fave: I mean, Joshua himself could only grin and point deferentially to Queen Kim as she took the reins for the entire bridge!Д«EST PITCH FOR A SITCOM WE DIDNвЂ™T KNOW WE NEEDED With her wicked growl and off-the-charts charisma, Kimberly Nichole pretty much dominated Joshua DavisвЂ™ bring-back performance of вЂњShe Talks to AngelsвЂќ (also featuring Corey Kent White, Deanna Johnson and Brian Johnson). Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this duet -В but Mark Burnett & Co.

But KellyвЂ™s end-of-song вЂњShe can sing, yвЂ™all!вЂќ was perhaps the best endorsement Koryn couldвЂ™ve ever received. The kidвЂ™s вЂњBaby, BABY, BABY!вЂќ hollerations were especially delectable -В and had Pharrell delivering simultaneous stank face and a вЂњhallelujah!вЂќ smile. Kelly ClarksonвЂ™s interpretation of Etta JamesвЂ™ вЂњIвЂ™d Rather Go BlindвЂќ oozed more heartache and passion than a dozen Nicholas Sparks novels combined, but she still showed enough restraint that duet partner Koryn Hawthorne also had plenty of room to wow the audience. 3 (behind only the mighty Taylor Swift) on the iTunes chart, the proceedings felt like more of a coronation than a white-knuckle suspense ride.Д«efore we get to the results, let me first present TVLineвЂ™s Season 8 Finale AwardsвЂ¦

And after his Monday night renditions of вЂњPleaseвЂќ and вЂњOld ManвЂќ landed at No. Voice pundits (myself included) entered the week considering SawyerвЂ™s win as much a certainty as Meryl StreepвЂ™s next burp landing her an Oscar nomination. Yet from a purely technical standpoint - the one overseenВ by some highly paid accounting firm and based on phone/text/online/app votes (plus iTunes downloads) - tonightвЂ™s two-hour extravaganza, in which Luke Bryan revealedВ the formula for turning a cornfield into a party, had to engage in the ugly business of handing out 4th-, 3rd-, 2nd-, and 1st-place trophies.
