TheVoice

Kristen Merlin owned her performance of "Let Her Go," and Coach Shakira could not look more proud.

One of the great about-to-be-answered questions of this TV seasons is, “Who will be The Voice?” Will it be either one of the show’s powerhouses, who also happen to be out lesbians, Beverly McClellan and Vicci Martinez? Following a juggernaut season of terrific performances on NBC’s vocal talent show that features coaches Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, The Voice aired its final performance show last night to what this fan would consider some mixed results.

It’s official! “America Loves Singing Lesbians,” as the LA Times headline regarding NBC’s hit singing competition The Voice blithely suggested. In a refreshing twist to the American Idol that has conservative Christians and tween girls voting for the least controversial young male contestant, America has voted to save out lesbians Beverly McClellan and Vicci Martinez on The Voice. And on last night’s results show America’s vote by and large chose the four finalists, two of which are Beverly and Vicci.
