The final performance show of "The Voice" gave the four finalists, Dia Frampton, Javier Colon, Beverly McClellan, and Vicci Martinez, a chance to perform original songs -- though, not their own material, but songs written for them by various famous songwriters and producers.Refresh your memory with the performances below, then vote in our poll! Who do you think will take home the grand prize at the end of the show?
The first original performance was from Javier Colon, whose song "Stitch By Stitch" was trending on Twitter just minutes after he'd finished singing. Cee-Lo thought that Javier exemplified "the ability of an artist to embody a song written for them," he said. "It sounds like it's your song."
Blake Shelton said that Javier was a "good dude," and coach Adam Levine agreed. "You must be so relieved. Like Blake said, everyone knows you're an amazing singer but what they may not know is that you're such an amazing guy... I'm so excited for you and he amazing things you're going to do in your career."
For Team Cee-Lo, Vicci Martinez's song, "Afraid to Sleep," was one that she felt she connected with because it is "an epic song, and it builds."
When she was finished, Adam said, "The crazy thing about this show is that we all sit here and we have the best time watching you as spectators... I bought every single second of it. I was so invested in the way you were feeling." Christina Aguilera added, "You're a dynamic performer. You get on that stage and you make it official."
Dia Frampton, Blake's contestant, sang a song called "Inventing Shadows." Before she went into the studio, she said, "The last record I did in my mom's house. You can actually hear the dishwasher in one song." When she was finished, Christina Aguilera told her that it was "really lovely," but she wondered why Blake had added shadow dancers to the performance when he'd earlier criticized Christina's theatrics.
Adam agreed. "I just got distracted by the stuff that was happening in the background. I didn't need all the stuff." For his part, Blake was unfazed, saying that his fellow coaches would know true distraction when Dia crushed them on iTunes.""How are they going to focus will all of that iTunes domination happening?"
Finally, Beverly McClellan performed her original song "Lovesick," which coach Christina suggested she add a bluesy feel to to make it her own. "We all know you're an amazing performer," Christina said after the performance. "You just get up on stage and you kill it. What I love so much about you is you have great work ethic. You always show up, you always have a smile on your face ready to make people laugh."
Blake said, "If music was crack, you would have a serious problem. It's awesome to watch it. It comes out of her, it goes in her, it's awesome. Yes I said crack."

Such a tough choice. I voted for all of them in the official voting, but in this poll, I voted Dia Frampton. I just feel it.
Vicci gets me right in my gut... I hope she wins, but more importantly, I hope she succeeds as an artist.
Each singer is great and talented in their own right, but Vicci is my fave.
beautiful dia frampton
I either want Beverly or Javier to win! They are the only ones who have kept me watching this show!!!
Personally, Dia has been my favorite for the majority of the show. However, I absolutely loved Javier. Vicci's performances I normally love, but I didn't care for the way her song sounded. Lyrics were awesome, tune not so much. And Beverly kills it with her voice, but again, I didn't care for her song either (and this time it was definitely the lyrics.)
No matter who wins, though, I'll be happy. I think they are all extremely talented and amazing. :)
Dia is good, but she is the least talented vocalist of the four...but leave it to America to choose the wrong winner.
Vicci Martinez is the dominant singer in the competition. Of course, the 12-16 year old girls that vote endlessly will make the final call.
One of these singing competitions should require a credit card to vote. The young whose vernacular is the Internet just ruins these shows by picking the ones they relate to. Someone closet to their age.
Dia compared to Javier and Beverly is not as a good singer or performer. At least in this show she hasnt compared! Though if she performed some of Meg & Dia stuff like their song "Monster," i would definitely would be more on board; not perturbed by the young not picking the most talented. Their song "Monster," is kick a$$.
Please kids close your eyes and listen and vote blindly - Dia wouldnt win if you did! Javier or Beverly would. THey ruined American Idol too ... country dude ... what.... there were so many better voices/artists. I dont even watch AI anymore because the kiddie vote. Further, If Susan Boyle was on one of these shows she'd be sure to lose! Pathetic and no im not an old fogey as again MEg and Dia's song, "Monster," kicks ***!
I'm nearly early-middle age and I'd most want to listen to Dia sing. Her raspy voice is my style. I love her.
I was a strong Vicci champion until last night. Like Simply Me said above, her song was just off. I missed the "build up." Vicci is best singing a song where she can move around the stage. Her original son fell flat.
Like Beverly's song. Vicci's and Beverly's songs seemed like 80s power ballads used at the credits of a power-chick movie. There voices were great, but the songs just didn't seem to connect correctly for me.
I kept on saying to my wife that I'd be really happy with whoever won. I don't think that any of the four finalist are not worthy. That's what makes the voice the supreme singing competition.
In this poll, I ended up voting for Beverly. She's probably my least favorite of the four, but she is a powerful lady.
My favorite was Xenia, she has "it" even if she doesn't know it and I'm convinced we'll hear from her in the future. Javier seems to be the most polished but can't help himself. He HAS TO oversing. Dia has ghrown the most and I see her having asemi-successful career. I think because of this show, all four will be in the music business the rest of their working careers. Good for them.
