Adam, who just got engaged to Behati Prinsloo, a Victoria’s Secret model was reluctant to answer any questions about this rumor on Friday’s Today show. Levine acted surprised when host Savannah asked him. He said this is really interesting but he knew nothing. Other honored candidates for the title of “Sexiest Man” include the very handsome Bradley Cooper, eye-candy, Channing Tatum and the dashing Ryan Reynolds.

Adam Levine has a major fan following not just because of his band Maroon 5, but is also popular for his acting roles in Can a Song Save your life? and American Horror Story. The Moves like Jagger star has also launched fragrance and fashion lines in his name. Only in the last month of May, Adam signed a one-year deal with the NBC, for a first-look development contract and the script picked out by the network was semi-autobiographical comedy. The show is centered around his friendship with Gene Hong, writer-producer and Community fame, who was Levine’s roommate in their struggling days, way back before either of them got popular.

Whether you were Team Cassadee or not, you most likely did not walk away with a total let down, as so often happens with these shows in which the contestant you were rooting for doesn’t take the win, because all three singers shined last night in with finale performances that will not soon be forgotten. Terry, who has been consistent all season long, did not disappoint with an “awesome” (declared so by host Carson Daly) duet with Peter Frampton in which they sang “Baby, I Love Your Way.” Nicholas had what might have been the most entertaining performance of the night for me, a duet of “Cruisin” with Smokey Robinson. Cassadee was given the opportunity to sing with fellow pop / rocker Avril Lavigne whose songs she’d covered twice on the show.

In the end, all three of these singers have the potential to go far in the music business, a fact that guest Kelly Clarkson pointed out to them last night. While Cassadee may have gotten the win (congratulations to her), I have a feeling we won’t be seeing the last of any of these contestants.

For those who are fearing withdrawal, not to worry because The Voice will be returning in a few short months with Shakira and Usher taking Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green’s places for this season in the coaches chairs (don’t worry, they will be back in the fall).

After the touching introduction to the show, thankfully, there were a few minutes before the first performer since I doubt there were many viewers who could see through the tears in their eyes. Once giving everyone time to compose themselves, The Voice took us on a quick trip down memory lane, revisiting the journeys that the final three contestants had traveled to get to the finals.

The first actual performance of the night went to Nicholas David, who turned up the heat (literally) and livened things up a bit with a medley of Jerry Lee Lewis’ “Great Balls of Fire” and Jimi Hendrix’s “Fire.” With flames bursting from his piano, he delivered a solid and exciting performance that everyone feeling more upbeat. Nicholas’s other performances of the night included a reprise of his rendition of Bill Withers’ “Lean on Me” and a highly entertaining duet with his coach, Cee Lo Green, of “Play that Funky Music.”

The dark horse of the competition, Cassadee Pope, continued her climb in momentum last night with a solid reprise of Blake Shelton’s “Over You” that almost sounded new again. For her duet with her coach, she and Mr. Shelton seemed to have a good time with Sheryl Crow’s “Steve McQueen.” For her final performance of the night, Cassadee took on Faith Hill’s “Cry,” an ambitious choice that she nailed, leaving me again to wonder if we are not going to see an upset with a Pope victory at tonight’s finale results show.

The final performer of the night was everyone’s favorite Scottish rocker, Terry McDermott, who kicked off his night with a killer duet (also with coach, Blake Shelton) of “Dude Looks Like a Lady” and although Blake is the seasoned professional, Terry kept up and surpassed him vocally last night. For his other performances, Terry sang his son’s favorite song Mr. Mister’s “Broken Wings” (way to raise that boy right, Terry) and a reprisal of Foreigner’s “I Want to Know What Love Is,” which he actually sang better even than he did the first time around.

As finalists go, the three remaining contestants on The Voice are as good as they come. Rarely do you watch a competition show such as this and feel at peace regardless of who wins because you know they all deserve to be there. That being said, I am rooting for Terry McDermott all the way and hope that tomorrow we will all be rocking Spinal Tap type mullets in celebration. Unfortunately, with Cassadee Pope’s continuous momentum, not to mention Nicholas David’s quirky, yet entertaining style, there’s no telling who will walk away with the prize.

Who do you think will be declared the winner of season 3 on tonight’s results show? Share your thoughts below.

Left in the game are two of Team Blake’s members, Scottish rocker, Terry McDermott and former ‘Hello Monday’ lead singer, Cassadee Pope.  Both singers have been strong throughout the competition; however, while Terry has maintained a good deal of consistency, Cassadee has actually been gaining momentum over the past several weeks. Whether or not consistency or a gradual incline will win out, remains to be seen, however, it may turn out that neither take the prize all thanks to Team Cee Lo’s Nicholas David.

A bit of an odd duck from the get go, Nicholas only managed to get Cee lo to hit his red button at blind audition time, however, the joke was on the other three coaches since Nicholas has turned out to be somewhat of a fan favorite and amazing talent throughout the competition. While he’s had a few slight falters, overall, he has managed to put out extraordinarily entertaining performances week after week that have made him the only member of Team Cee Lo left standing at tonight’s finals.

While all three will, undoubtedly, be trying to put their best foot (feet?) forward tonight with performances that will, hopefully, knock viewers’ socks off, we will have to wait and see if they are able to deliver with such high stakes at risk. One thing that can be said for The Voice, all three contestants are true talents who have earned their places in the finale, therefore, regardless of who comes out on top tomorrow, he or she will deserve the win.

Team Cee Lo kicked off the night with Trevin Hunte first up on stage. After an emotional visit home to visit his family (all the contestants got to head home this week), it seems that it may have been a bit too much for him because his performance of “Wind Beneath my Wings,” while good, was not his best, with him even falling slightly off key more than once throughout the song. The coaches, who weren’t looking to bash anyone last night, praised him for his performance, but weren’t offering up any standing ovations for this one.

Next up representing Team Cee Lo was Nicholas David, who ditched his glasses and fluffed his hair for last night’s performance of “You are so Beautiful to Me.” Blatantly emotional and apparently weak in the knees (why did he sit in that chair during the coaches’ comments?), Nicholas earned high praise for his touching performance and song choice, although Cee Lo indicated that there was some conflict with the selection during the week, but left who was against the choice a mystery.

First up for Team Blake last night was Cassadee Pope, who opted for another country selection despite her pop roots with Keith Urban’s “Stupid Boy.” Whether or not you believe Blake’s excuse for choosing so many country songs for Cassadee (it’s because she can connect so well with the country lyric), there is no denying that she can deliver on these songs like nobody’s business. With impressive vocals and an emotional delivery, Ms. Pope knocked it out of the park with this one.

Finishing off the night was everybody’s favorite Scottish rocker, Terry McDermott who took on (gasp!) “Let it Be” for his semifinal performance, a risky decision that certainly paid off.  With a clear tone that was reminiscent to Paul McCartney’s he delivered an excellent rendition of the class song that stayed true to the original, but offered a few interesting notes towards the end.

Tonight, four will become three as one contestant will be sent home after getting so close to the finale.  The remaining contestants will then head to next week’s finals in which one of them will be crowned the next winner of The Voice.  As for who is going home tonight, I believe poor Trevin might be in trouble.

Still left in the competition for Team Blake are Terry McDermott, the Scottish classic rocker and Cassadee Pope, the former lead singer of “Hello Monday.” Terry has been a fan favorite from the start, consistently rocking classic tunes with a pure and steady tone. Cassadee, on the other hand, seemed to begin as a bit of an underdog, but in the last several weeks, has progressively gained momentum and has found herself on the receiving end of some high praise from the coaches.

Holding down the fort over on Team Cee Lo are Trevin Hunte, the shy 18 year old with a powerhouse voice, and Nicholas David, the quirky retro singer who sounds nothing like you would expect him to. Trevin has been one of the coaches’ favorites since the moment he stepped onto The Voice’s stage. He continues to deliver impressive performances with songs that only the most seasoned of singers would consider taking on. Nicholas, too, has been earning high praise from the get go, surprising the coaches each week with his spot on renditions of songs you would never have expected him to sing.

Tonight on The Voice, the four remaining contestants will perform in the hopes of earning their way into the finals next week.

Melanie has been hanging on by a shred throughout the majority of the competition with coach Adam Levine pushing her along. The truth is, however, what started off as a quirky and likable misfit persona had begun to show some diva antics with eye rolling and lack of eye contact all together during the judges’ comments. More importantly, all of her songs had begun to sound the same with the whispery little girl voice that could only remain interesting for so long.

Amanda Brown, on the other hand, may or may not have been the best choice to go home last night, but based on the last few weeks’ performances and the viewers’ reaction to them, it seemed inevitable. Wildly talented, but with a heart for rock instead of the power ballads she was been given, Amanda just didn’t seem to be able to deliver consistently appealing performances, a fact that I believe led to her elimination last night.

Left in the competition are Terry McDermott, Cassadee Pope, Trevin Hunte, and Nicholas David.  With only four left in the competition going into next week’s quarterfinals, it will be more difficult than ever to say goodbye to the talent that is left and now that Team Adam is officially out of the running, it is left to Team Blake and Team Cee Lo to fight it out to become the season three winner of The Voice.

Do you think America got it right last night? Who do you think should have went home?

Team Blake is arguably one of the strongest teams left in the competition, a sentiment echoed by The Voice’s own Christina Aguilera last night after Terry McDermott and Cassadee Pope knocked everyone’s socks off with impressive performances. Terry, who took on Foreigner’s “I Want to Know What Love is” and Rod Stewart’s “Stay with Me,” continued to wow the judges with his consistency and pureness of tone. Cassadee Pope, too, impressed with Blake’s country pick, “Stand” and her own slightly more predictable choice, Avril Lavigne’s “I’m With You.” Both singers seem to be fan and coach favorites, so I believe it’s safe to say we can expect to see them next week.

Team Cee Lo is another heavy hitter when it comes to possibly taking home the crown this season with powerhouse singer Trevin Hunte and the charmingly awkward Nicholas David. As per usual, Trevin blew the judges away with his first song “Walking on Sunshine,” but it was his second song choice of “And I am Telling You I’m Not Going,” that had them all on their feet. Nicholas David, on the other hand, struggled through Earth, Wind, and Fire’s “September,” but came back strong with his rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” a performance that Adam Levine claimed would most likely leave people weeping.

Team Adam came out strong last night with Amanda Brown on her game with two great performances of “Natural Woman” and “Here I Go Again.” While the first was impressive without a doubt, the second really showcased the type of music she is comfortable with and because she enjoyed performing it so much, I enjoyed watching it. Melanie Martinez, on the other hand, had a very rough night with a pitchy rendition of Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” and an incredibly awkward attempt at being cutesy and upbeat with Lenka’s “The Show.” Even the preschool looking backdrop couldn’t convince us that Melanie was light hearted or fun and if we were at all in doubt of that, her massive eye roll at Christina’s criticism affirmed it.

Tonight on The Voice, the remaining 6 contestants will find out if their performances last night peaked the viewers’ interest enough to earn a spot in next week’s quarterfinals. With so few contenders left in the competition, we will finally start to see the exit of some of the fan favorites and say good bye to some genuine talented individuals.

As it stands going into tonight, Team Christina has been knocked completely out of the competition. The remaining teams, however, each have two contestants still in the running to become the winner of season 3. Over on Team Blake, Terry McDermott and Cassadee Pope are still holding on strong, each seemingly with a huge fan base that will be crucial to help them move on in the competition. Keeping the dream alive on Team Cee Lo are Nicholas David and Trevin Hunte, both excellent contenders for the title. Perhaps the underdogs of the competition are the contestants over on Team Adam with Amanda Brown, whose voice should not have her in the underdog position but her inconsistency does, and Melanie Martinez, the only contestant left who was put through as the coach’s choice.

Tonight on The Voice, the remaining 6 contestants will battle it out on stage in hopes of convincing viewers that they deserve to make it to next week’s quarterfinals.

Now don’t get me wrong, I like Cody as much as the next guy, but towards the end, it seemed that he was not only a bit out of his league vocally, but also that the stage flair had become as important, if not more, to him than his singing. When someone tries to take on the masterful Freddy Mercury, as Cody did on Monday night, their heart can’t be only half in to the vocals or the result will be a gimmicky mess, which is somewhat what we got with Cody’s attempt. While I’m sad to see him go because he was a blast to watch, Cody’s elimination was the right decision moving into the final 6.

On the other hand, Dez Duron has been a thorn in my side since the start of the live shows. With little more talent than your average boy band member and no qualms about luring young girls to vote for him with charming smiles and Justin Bieber anthems, I just never could get on board the Dez train that Christina Aguilera begged for all of America to hop on. I am so grateful to the viewers of The Voice for not allowing looks and hype to outweigh genuine talent and creativity by eliminating Dez and keeping other, perhaps less pretty contestants like Nicholas David and Trevin Hunte around.

Next week the top 6 contestants will perform live and with Team Xtina completely knocked out of the competition, the blonde powerhouse coach should have no problem voicing her strong and often blunt opinions for the remaining contenders, which should make for some entertaining banter amongst the coaches.

What did you think of last night’s eliminations? Did the right people go home in your opinion?
