Watch Christina win the twitter save. Someone told me she has 40,000 twitter followers. I believe Kristen was 3rd by ITunes. Think the twitter save isn't fair.

I agree. I hate the twitter save. Not fair.

Also agree. If you came in last, then you came in last. So sad, too bad.

Ugh. I really though Kirsten would be saved.

And she should have been. See when shows start obviously manipulating the winners...I begin to lose interest. Grrr

Another vote to get rid of the twitter save. Why they can't just go by the votes is beyond me. I have a twitter account, but rarely use it. Also would have loved to see Kristen make it through to the top 3.

milly can you direct me to the site where you read this about the twitter save being installed just hours before this show? I can't find anything on google.

I wish I could remember. I know I read yahoo news when I checked my mail. But read a few articles and was shocked by it. Made me think she wasn't going to be in the finals and they used the twitter save. She has something like 540,000 twitter followers. I guess she's been at this for a while and built up her twitter followers. Had a recording contract and been around for a while. I don't like twitter being used as the younger crowd uses it all the time. Leaves the older crowd out of the outcome. I used to like Adam but find him overbearing now. Ever since he was voted "sexiest man" it's gone to his head. But then I guess he knows you will "win the whole thing".

I think there some massively talented past winners & contestants....HUGE talent.

But....when they return to The Voice & sing their lastest release, the songs are SOOOO bad! Who writes these things? This has happened since the beginning of this show. I thought the songs sung last night by last seasons final 3 were just painfully bad (not the singers, but the songs). They do a complete injustice to their voices.

I LOVED that Jake is in the final 3. He has an old-school country voice that will only get better with training. No worries for him...he'll be heading to Nashville under Blakes wing.

BTW, I also hate the Twitter save...what a bunch of crappola. Go with the votes, period.

LD: Jake was better the first few shows before he got sick and his voice started giving out. I do think he may have a future in country music. I mean he's no Blake Shelton but not many are!

I have been watching since the beginning. I just don't think he's all that good. Super nice kid but not a great singer.

Maybe this show will help him but there are so many super talented people that are heads and tails above him.

I thought Audra sang circles around him.

I think so too. I agree I didn't like the songs the "returnees" sang last night. Cassadee Pope's song is pretty good. Have you heard it? "Wasting All My Tears On You."

Thanks milly. I agree about Adam. He has started to get on my nerves. He's so long winded when giving his opinion I find myself thinking "Oh be quiet and let someone else talk!"

It does look that way. And Christina reminds of that long-ago bubble-gum pop "star" Tiffany. Remember her? A one hit wonder, I believe.

Kristen last night - I'm not sure that was a good performance from her. I felt so bad for her and also for Shakira - she put her heart into coaching Kristen.

I also liked Shasundra (sp) earlier on but her age was against her, I think.

And I agree about Adam Levine - he throws his own people under the bus to push for one favorite of his. He's coming off as a snotty little brat.

Not like Blake - such a gentleman. (I have to say that or croemer will beat me up)

I was just on The Voice FB page. Some people are saying that last week, Carson announced that there would be no more Twitter Save. Last week was the last. Then when Christina was in the bottom, they reinstated it because they wanted her to stay.

Not sure. I don't really remember one way or the other. Just know I hate the Twitter save.

ETA: People are also complaining because it's really only east coasters who are able to hear the songs and vote to save someone.
