Well another final over in a flash and I'm well shell shocked. There were some surreal moments last night.... like Cheryl phoning in 
, Willy Wonka, vanishing tricks 
, rapping live :cool: and wrecking ball. Who would have thought wrecking ball would have been the winning song?
Above all though Sally or Christina not winning as everyone thought.
I'm not complaining mind, I just need to get my head around what I watched and the unexpected result

Christina Marie was my winner by a country mile!!
In answer to the question posed by thread title..... Yes, it did.
So lets all watch his debut single scrape into the top 30 if lucky
I would imagine his album will come out first which will no doubt be in the top 10.
But Wrecking Ball wasn't the winning song, I’m Telling You was. ;-)
I never much rated Christina Marie or even Sally particularly. I also didn't particularly like either of them for various reasons, so I'm very pleased they didn't win and so glad that Jermain did.
Jermaine was not my favourite either, until that last performance when he out sang and outperformed the others, genuine talent won, and the audience reaction was spontaneous and not influenced by anyone.
We all know if the others are any good they will get deals too, so lets be nicer to people.
I agree, I think the GBP fell under Jermaine's spell, his positivity, his enthusiasm , his charm and his charism which was all sadly lacking in Sally and Christina. It did shock me that Jamie went out first he will do well though I think he is like Olly Murrs and will go onto bigger things.
I didn't.
I'm the GBP.
The result is only partly surprising. I don't believe any of them were particularly inspiring or good in the live shows. Maybe the pressure got to them but the individual qualities they came in with seemed to have fallen away by the Lives. If I'd been in, I still wouldn't have voted for my favourite (Sally) despite having liked her audition and Walk on By. The performances she gave in the final weeks didn't have that thing I'd liked in her before (a quality of inwardness, a sense of feeling it in real time). That's pressure. Or maybe sack the voice coaches
It wasn't just her who was below par, IMO. There wasn't anything compelling in any of the performances is my feeling. Nothing to demand your attention... But Jermaine seemed least stressed and least embarrassed by the occasion, which might have won it for him. It makes an audience relax if the performer isn't shit scared, tense or apologetic. The studio crowd responded to him warmly too, which gave him an aura of sorts.
I wondered if they had had trouble with the sound in the studio, btw.
Am I the only one that thinks Sally has the personality of a spoon? She wasent even happy when she got to the final, you could tell in her voice. I think that is why she lost to be honest.
I'm assuming she was asked by Will to phone him at the end of Jermain's performance.
My favourite winner of the 3 series thus far, easily.
Interesting point.
Totally agree. Attention seeker. Can't stand the untalented woman.
The Voice is such a short series that all it takes is one good performance and that person gets the votes that particular week. Jermaine's one good performance won it for him, but I do feel that if the final had been last week, when Jamie sang 'I Can't Make You Love Me' he would have been crowned the winner on that performance.
This week felt like the equivalent of week 3/4 on XF where one mighty performance tops the vote but doesn't win the series. I think a longer series would have seen Christina win - she performed better than the others in the final but overdid it, and she didn't have enough voter loyalty to fall back on.
There's something about him we just don't like. He looks nice, seems like a decent fellow, and has a really good voice. But... there's a persistent feeling that, like the politicians he so admires, just beneath the surface is a not so humble fellow who believes not just in himself, but in his innate superiority.
Sally, and Christina, on the other hand, came across as far more genuine, and therefore perhaps more deserving people. In the case of Sally, also with a genuinely brilliant voice. Unfortunately, whoever was choosing the songs for them chose rather badly.
So, basically, it was will.i.am that put in the best performance. And that's why he won.
The Kaiser Chiefs song was good too.
Sally, my original favourite, was boring in the final. The song choice was sleep inducing. Bad call by Tom jones.
As usual, I enjoyed The Voice, and I quite like that it's just a competition rather than a guaranteed instant success for the chosen ones. They still have to do it for themselves afterwards.
Is this the royal "we"?
I'm going with your explanation because as a singer I'm not into Jermaine's sound. All his performances were way better presented but not in a way that it distracted.
I loved the Wonka routine.
