Anyways, joking aside...after nearly two months, we have FINALLY reached the Grand Final, but it wasn't exactly an easy ride getting to this point. One by one, the acts left the competition, which was what happened in last week's Semi-Final when Little Mix were eliminated in 4th place, leaving Voice with no acts left.
Tonight however is the one we've been all waiting for, these three wise men must do whatever it takes to come out with a win, but only one of can them can be crowned Luck Of The Draw champion, speaking of which,m let's bring on stage the judges and your top 3!
jackamakka & The last of the Boys
Rikki Loney
RabidWolverine1 & The Overs
Jay James
Jamie Archer
The_Voice1 who has no remaining Groups
Judges, are you ready to go, cause I'll be posting two songs at once a few times for now.

Let's kick off the first round that is Number 1's and first up is one of the Overs and he says you're no son of his (Woah, that's harsh!), it's Jay James!

And following him is the last remaining boy who's got an elastic heart (how is that possible?), it's Rikki Loney!

I should have just been upfront with how long it would take, im sure Steve and Jack also have other things they would rather have been doing at this time. Neither have complained though and actually been okay with me but even still you know...sincere apologies.
Jay James:
***** Standing Ovation *****
Jay since day one you have brought a unique tone to this show that can't be duplicated. This story progressed and had its really anthemic feel as it built up and you absolutely rocked it out. Its been one hell of a competition and I want to thank everyone who voted for Jay to get here and lets keep this going all the way.
Rikki Loney:
***** Standing Ovation *****
Standing ovations are deserved all round tonight. That was a really good approach on a huge song and you absolutely gave it that Rikki Loney spin. I think you have been a huge surprise in this competition in the absolute best way. Well done Rikki
Jay kicks off the show in an impressive way and Rikki also keeps the standard up.
Next is the second over and he's all about unity tonight, it's Jamie Archer!

Wow, I love it when little things can remind you of such a good time. It's a great song and even though I take no credit for the song (That's on Collins), im glad it brought up great memories for you Steve
Jamie Archer:
***** Standing Ovation *****
Jamie, you were the act more than any other that I was happy to mentor when we did the original act reveal, and this song is a perfect example why. Not only do you absolutely rock out, but you have meaning and such amazing control in your voice. Ive loved mentoring you and theres still more to come.
Number 1's has now passed us and we move on to the Duets and we have some duet partners this time.
Returning to the stage with his duet partners, it's Jay James!

And back on stage with his duet partners, it's Rikki Loney!

Jay, your vocals during that were absolutely haunting and I was completely hooked from start to finish. Its been an awesome ride for you and I do hope it continues with more performances here tonight, so please for anyone who has supported Jay, please (Goes All Louis Walsh) PICK UP THE PHONE AND VOTE FOR JAY :D:D
Well don't pick up the phone, pick up your Laptop/IPAD/PC/Actually maybe phone if thats how your on the net right now.
Rikki Loney:
***** Standing Ovation *****
Rikki, that was a beautiful song and I had to listen to it twice so I could fully appreciate it, outside of my own acts you have been my favourite in this competition, absolute best of luck tonight
And Rikki pulls out a stunning ballad and a big thanks to Sidewalk Prophets for coming on to the show.
Returning to the stage and rounding off the second round with his duet partners, it's Jamie Archer!

Huge Thank You for performing with Jamie, Lifehouse. Together that not only brought out a real rock anthem but it broadened it as a song that would appeal to a wider audience. Jamie you are an amazing all rounder and I really hope you get to perform again. PLEASE VOTE JAMIE :):)

Share your thoughts about the Final here in the meantime.
Ouch times
Although naps can be joyous things.
Fml, anywhoooo!
Super super proud of Rikki's performances and was amazed with Jamie and Jay's too! Really don't know what's going to happen tonight, but if I lose to either of Nathan's overs I've lost to a very worthy winner
Ditto mate, youve smashed it as Rikki and if I lose, its all good. Despite me being unreliable ive had a lot of fun in this game and learned a lot too
All three of these acts want to win, but now one act is about to be eliminated in 3rd place.
Let's welcome back the judges and their finalists!

Only two can go through, so good luck to all.
The first act appearing in the final showdown is...
Well one of your overs was guaranteed to be in the final two, but will you do a Nicole?
Only one more place is left between Rikki and Jay.
The second act appearing in the final showdown is...
Congrats Rikki and Jacka, you are one step closer to the winning line.
However this means that Jay James is eliminated in third place, I can't quite say commiserations to him and Nathan who now has one act left, because compared to how he did on the real show, he has been mentored brilliantly and deserves to sing a farewell song.
So if you like, post what would've been his winners song. ;-)
After that little moment, we'll move on...
Thanks for everyone who has voted for Jay and for the comments from Steve and Jack throughout the series so here with what would have been his winners singles its
Now we continue with the third round which is favourite songs from this Series.
Back on stage with his favourite song from the Semi-Final, it's Rikki Loney!

Rikki what a very nice trip down memory road to a week ago . I commented myself ago that this was my favourite performance of yours because it just perfectly highlighted your tone, your range and you connected to the emotion perfectly. Best of Luck
