Final Four Predictions

'The Voice' Results Recap: And the Final Four Are...

It's a stacked competition, and the judges are even more in love with and attached to their team members than we are, so watching four of The Voice 's strongest, err, voices tonight is sure to be rough on everybody. As I said today in my performance rankings, my prediction/hope for the final four is Beverly (Team Xtina), Vicci (Team Cee Lo), Dia (Team Blake) and Javier (Team Adam), but I could honestly see any of their teammates moving on instead. I don't want to say goodbye to anyone! (This is like the opposite of how I feel about Bachelor eliminations.) What about you? Adam explains that he scored Javier higher because Casey is young and has a huge career ahead of her, and he feels strongly that he has to advance Javier, because he's had so many chances and he just needs Javier to see this one until the end. "Casey, you're going to be fine. You're going to have the most amazing life in music. This is a competition I don't think I could win." I respect Adam's honesty -- he's starting to edge out Blake as my favorite coach because he talks to his team without patronizing or sugar-coating the truth, and I'd respect him as a coach for that. Beverly says she loves Frenchie with all her heart, "for real." Frenchie is thankful to have the opportunity to share her voice with the world. Xtina is sick to her stomach just looking at them. In a good way. She can "feel the love in the room" and stays awake at night thinking about them. Not in that way. And tonight is like kindergarten: There are no winners and losers. During commercial, I bet Adam Levine just cursed out the other three coaches for making him look like a dick. "I'm the ONLY ONE who didn't go FIFTY-FIFTY? Are you f***ing KIDDING ME right now, you guys?" That's what I bet he said. And then Cee Lo was like, "I gave Nakia one more point..." and Adam was all, "THAT DOESN'T F***ING COUNT, DUDE," and then he stormed off to the bathroom. (Did I just write the first Voice fan-fiction?) Carson tells us what will happen next week: On Tuesday, Dia, Javier, Vicci and Beverly will each perform original songs (original songs, right? I heard that right, right?) and duets with their coaches. Our votes, and our votes ALONE, will determine which of them will be crowned THE VOICE on next Wednesday's results show, winning $100,000, a recording contract, and their choice of one of the Voice coaches as a sexual partner. Except that last thing.

Here Are My Final Four Predictions | GCOBB.COM

Who knows what’s going to happen in the NCAA tournament in the next few weeks. It should be a lot of fun with fans nationwide glued to their televisions and rooting for their teams to win it all. I had to jump into the fun and give you my prediction regarding which teams will make it to the Final Four.

EAST: I like what I see with Ohio State. They’ve got great low post scoring with big freshman Jared Sellinger, who is rare in a big man because he plays with his back to the basket. They’ve also got some quality snipers from outside, so they can beat you either way. Sellinger doesn’t have to get the job done by himself. He’ll get help from David Lighty, three-point ace Jon Diebler and William Buford.

I see them rolling through the field on the way to the Final Four

SOUTHEAST: I’ve got BYU coming out of this region. Jimmer Fredette has already shown he’s a legitimate star, plus I think this team is on a mission. They seem to be more focused and committed to winning since Jared Davies was suspended. I think in a strange way it’s brought their team closer together. If they’re shooting well they can beat anybody in the country.

WEST: I like the University of Connecticut’s chances of making it to the Final Four. Kemba Walker is an incredible player and he’s playing with confidence. They went through the Big East like a hot knife through butter and I think they’re going to do the same thing in the NCAA tournament.

Making it to the Final Four will be easier than winning five straight games in the Big East tournament in five consecutive nights.

SOUTHWEST: The Kansas Jayhawks are a monster. They’ve got the tremendous size up front and the quality guard play to win it all. The Philadelphia twins, Marcus and Markieff Morris, are two defensive stalwarts and rebounders, who will make it tough for anybody to beat the Jayhawks.

Their toughest battle will be with themselves. They can’t make the mistake of taking anybody for granted.
