Exactly why I didn't want her to win. I knew who she was, and Meg & Dia just released a new album back in April! I'm surprised she was even on there.

Yeah, I couldn't figure out why she was on there either, really.

I'm glad Javier won.

Javier Colon was a contestant on ‘The Voice‘ who managed to do the unthinkable: He got all four coaches to turn their big red space chairs around during the blind audition phase. His coach Adam Levine said that Colon has one of the best voices he has ever heard. We’re not going to argue with that superlative assessment.

Colon, who is a father, has never let the “chew you up and spit you out” music business stop him, and on tonight’s finale, he performed the tender ballad ‘Landslide’ with the inimitable legend Stevie Nicks, taking subtle direction from her as she lead the song. He met her in the middle, and it was earth-shattering.

The performance was a stunning collision of modern and classic, novice and legend and by the second verse, Colon and Nicks brought out the best in each other. The song exists as a vehicle for powerful voices, and when these two sang the signature line, “When I see my reflection / In the snow covered hill” in tandem, the roof was effectively ripped off. The hair on our arms stood on end.

Colon and Nicks closed their performance by sharing a hug. They were met with a standing ovation from all four coaches.

Levine said he had to fight off tears after the duet. “I’m pretty speechless. You just sang with Stevie Nicks and it is one of the most beautiful duets I’ve ever heard. Now you’re one of my heroes. You deserve to win this competition,” he declared.

Yeah, I popped in for rehearsal. Heard about it yesterday and I have a friend on the show. It was pretty spectacular. I think this is a far better duet version than with Sheryl or the Dixie Chicks. Those choruses just soared. Was even better in person, as the place was pretty empty, has surprisingly good acoustics, and was pretty friggin' loud. Plus they did it twice. I loved it. Stevie was so cute and it sounded beautiful. I know nothing about the show, but am glad he won.

Stevie could call Javier to come open for her in august.I love this guys voice.

Stevie nailed it, and ]avier complimented her. To me, she looked tired physically, which is totally understandable considering she just got back from the UK. My brother, who doesn't pay attention to Stevie thought she was great, and he can be a dick.

So proud of our Stevie!!

does anyone else notice how Stevie tends to rise above expectations when taken out of her comfort zone??? She's never performed with him before, but it seemed like she brought her A-game! similar to TP and DH. she just seems to lay it out when challenged. i wish she would work with a producer she doesn't know. i love IYD, but i wish she had stepped out more. DS kept her in the california country rock she is used to.

I think she took a lot of risk with IYD. This is Stevie we're talking about; she likes her comfort zone. She took upon the challenge of writing with Dave, she took upon the challenge of trusting him to make the album that he promised her.

I want to know what happened when she began working with Adam Levine in 2008. Did she try some of IYD tracks with him, some other demos, some new stuff? I remember reading they recorded several songs. Maybe those will surface sometime soon.

And maybe she'll work with Cee Lo next. LOL.

I totally agree with the assertion that she rises to the occasion when challenged or televised or something that seems to raise the stakes. But I disagree that DS kept her completely in her comfort zone. Yes there is some california country rock but Ghosts Are Gone is a straight forward rocker, Wide Sargasso Sea is her intense/artsy rocker, Moonlight is her torch song, New Orleans is Nicks' at her jazziest, You May Be The One is her at her bluesiest, Secret Love is her techno wistful song, Soldier's Angel is at her grittiest, and Everybody Loves You is her pop gem. And the list goes on. Only For What It's Worth which is her acoustical-ish entry, In Your Dreams, and Cheaper Than Free are the obvious safe zones for her. The exception possibly being My Heart although even that song is the closest ode to Led Zeppelin I have ever heard from her in terms of structure and style. Lastly, Annabel Lee - I credit DS with taking that pretty good demo and turning it into the victory anthem it is today. This album is far more diversified than people seem to acknowledge...

If you're referring to this, http://www.ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/sh...ad.php?t=35594, then that was a clever April fools prank from 3 years ago.
