O M actual G people. It's all over. The Voice has come to an end. No more Jessie banging on about voices, Will.I.Am incessantly saying dope, Tom doing his emotional Dad (slash granddad) bit or Danny being pretty in the corner (we're sure he said stuff too but anyway). After Bo, Vince, Leanne and Tyler sang their little hearts out for your votes, big old belty powerhouse Leanne was crowned The Voice of all voices, nabbing the record comtract and Tom's first victory (if he's coming back, which they haven't actually ironed out yet). But if you weren’t there watching it all unravel - too many sherries at your Jubilee party? â€" here’s all the gossip in full. *cue dramatic music*
So the show kicked off with Holly going ALL OUT in the booby stakes, with a skin-tight, pleather strapless dress and that long ringletty hair we always try to do but never really quite works out. Then the judges came out and we were pleased to see Tom had dressed up for the occasion with a giant grey bow tie. Jessie was rocking a poker straight bob and another black pleather dress with a sheer skirt which she didn’t change out of all evening. C’mon Jessie, it's The Voice live final. Tom, Danny and Will.I.Am made the effort with some quick changes and they're GUYS. Just saying.
Anyway it was straight into the singing with Bo up first for Team Danny. She sang ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ in a super slinky grey dress, which was nice but a bit predictable if we’re honest. Holly got a bit cringe gushy saying “If I could sing like you wouldn't bother with speaking†â€" sometimes we think you shouldn’t bother speaking Holz. Bo went down well with the judges with Danny saying he “got goosebumps†and Jessie saying it was “beautiful†and “uniqueâ€. Tom said she was a “stylist†and a “storyteller†â€" so at least she’s got a few back up career options there. Her duet with Danny was Read All About it â€" if we’re honest the weirdness of Danny rapping was in danger of overshadowing Bo, but she was still pretty good. So good that Danny pretty much fell in love with her onstage (read about this here)
Next up was Leanne who got her big old voice around ‘A Man’s World’ in a sort of slinky black trousersuit which made the most of her curves. Jessie said she was “proud of her growth†(sounds weird out of context) while Will said he was “1000 per cent sad when Ruth went home but way you sang now, Ruth is probably at home saying ‘Wow you killed it’†Yeah we bet that’s what was happening. She sang ‘Mama told me not to come’ with Tom in a lovely purpley-grey lace dress with mentor Tom giving her loads of encouraging/proud Dad/Granddad type looks. Maw.
Tyler â€" looking lovely in a natty blue suit - kicked off his performances with Michael Jackson’s ‘I'll Be There’ which the judges seemed to like â€" Tom said he’s “put his whole life into it†while Danny praised his “crystal clear falsettoâ€. We thought he sounded a bit like someone’s mad granny, but we still liked it because he’s PRETTY. His duet with Will.I.Am was OMG and that’s pretty much what we were thinking throughout. Or maybe OMFG. From swinging around aimlessly in the air, to the mad rapaoke, safe to say it wasn’t the performance of the series. Or maybe it was. We want Will.I.Am’s sparkly gold loafers anyway. And his ace random dance moves that he literally couldn't stop doing.
Vince was last to sing, performing 'Many Rivers To Cross' by reggae singer Jimmy Cliff, which TBH we hadn’t actually heard of before (soz muso types) and was okay but didn’t really blow us away, although Will.I.Am said it was “dope†(obvs) and Danny said was “brilliant†â€" so what do we know. Then he and Jessie did a pretty ace performance of Nobody's Perfect, which was heavy on the ad libs, and the black pleather. In fact when Holz came on to chat to them at the end it was a proper black pleath fest. Three’s a trend people, three’s a trend.
Ed Sheeran showed up to sing his song One And Only (sadly not the Chesney Hawkey song) looking a bit of a scruffbag, and then it was time for the first cull. *cue dramatic music again*
Vince was the shock first act out (more on this here), but was very nice about it saying “It's been a fantastic experience†and “All the other contestants are fantastic†while cleverly taking the chance to mention his album’s all done and ready to go. Jessie said some sort of flim-flammy stuff like “a winner is a winner before they win, winning isn’t everything, the journey is more important.†Then we forgot about all that and focused on to who was going to be the actual winner-y winner.
Final three Bo, Leanne and Tyler then had to sing their fave song from the series. Bo sang Coldplay's ‘Charlie Brown’ in an amazing white feathery dress while Danny looked all loved up again. Leanne sang ‘Run To You’ in lovely purple dress. We must say she looked very nice this evening. Well done Leanne. Or, you know, The Voice stylist. Then Tyler did another slightly mad falsetto vocal on ‘Higher Love’. But he did look very nice in his very tight brown shirt and trousers.
Then it was possibly the best bit of the whole series when all four of the judges got on stage to sing a medley of their own hits (we love a medley) before Maroon 5 performed their new song 'Payphone' and 'Moves Like Jagger' (we don’t think that’s technically a medley but we still liked it) and Adam Levine told the winner to "sing well" and "don't screw up". Thanks for that Adam.
Then it was judgement time *cue final bit of dramatic music* Weirdly there was no 'in third place' type build up, with Holly cutting straight to the chase to tell us Leanne had won. Lots of squealing followed, with Leanne looking like the happiest person in the world, Tom saying how proud he was and a massively noisy group hug which the mics picked up in full. And that was that! All over till next year, who in the heck knows will be sitting in those swivelly chairs (yay the swivelly chairs!).
So what did you think? Did the right singy lady win? Was favourite Bo robbed? Will you be watching next year? Tell us what you think. We like it when you do that.
