"After hundreds of auditions and seemingly endless rounds, we&amp;#039;re down to the final four contestants on The Voice. With coaches Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine each having one singer left in the competition, it&amp;#039;s anyone&amp;#039;s guess as to who will take home the final prize tomorrow evening.  So it&amp;#039;s down to Chris Mann, Juliet Simms, Tony Lucca and Jermaine Paul for the win, but who will it be? Stay with Digital Spy live from 8/7c to find out!  &amp;gt; &amp;#039;The Voice&amp;#039; final poll: Who do you want to win season two? 22:00Don&amp;#039;t forget to join us live tomorrow night (May 8) at 9/8c for your results! We&amp;#039;ll be here! 21:59Well, that&amp;#039;s it for tonight. Tomorrow, not only will a winner be crowned, but more importantly, BIEBER&amp;#039;S COMING! He&amp;#039;ll be performing &amp;#039;Boyfriend&amp;#039;, and yes, that was sarcasm re: him being important. Hall &amp;amp; Oates is also performing (now THERE is something legit exciting) and even Flo Rida. Have you guys heard that new Flo Rida song &amp;#039;Whistle&amp;#039;? Have you ever heard a more blatant euphemism? I pretty much hate it. 21:57Adam thinks that she&amp;#039;s got all the grit in her voice and is incredible and beautiful, adding that no one sings like her. Christina also praises her, especially since apparently Juliet is also sick. (NOT twinsies.) Cee Lo has &amp;quot;no problems&amp;quot; (pointing to his t-shirt which says the same thing) since Juliet is on his team. And... that&amp;#039;s sorta it.   21:53It&amp;#039;s time for the last performance of the night, and it&amp;#039;s Juliet &amp;quot;Hey, don&amp;#039;t I remind you of Janis Joplin? Aren&amp;#039;t I edgy? Don&amp;#039;t I evoke another era?&amp;quot; Simms. She&amp;#039;s singing Lynyrd Skynyrd&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Freebird&amp;#039;. Of course she is. Sigh. She&amp;#039;s dressed like Florence Welch (ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES) and I just don&amp;#039;t like any of this. No. I say no. 21:42Tony Lucca is paying tribute to Adam by singing Maroon 5&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Harder to Breathe&amp;#039;. I don&amp;#039;t mind this song, I suppose, and it really fits Tony&amp;#039;s style. He sounds a bit like Adam singing it, and I don&amp;#039;t know if that&amp;#039;s in my head or if that&amp;#039;s something he&amp;#039;s actually doing. Are they melding into one person because of their bromance? Who can say. 21:34Blake and Jermaine are ready for their duet, now - they&amp;#039;re doing &amp;#039;Soul Man&amp;#039; by the Blues Brothers - interesting choice, but Jermaine is happy because he gets to watch Blake struggle a bit the way he has every week in the competition. They seem to have really developed a friendship, which is nice. The song itself is pretty good - again, I&amp;#039;m not rushing out to iTunes to get it or anything, but you know.  21:28Cee Lo calls him &amp;quot;by far one of the most incomparable vocalists [he&amp;#039;s] ever heard&amp;quot;, saying that he&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;so completely cool&amp;quot; in what he does and inviting him to sing at his wedding, should he ever get married.  Christina is happy to be part of such a celebration, and thanks Chris for &amp;#039;raising her up&amp;#039; - pun intended, clearly. She&amp;#039;s glad that he stuck to his guns and made it so far and says that she&amp;#039;s emotional. She also thanks him for comforting her for doing not such a great job during &amp;#039;The Prayer&amp;#039; since she&amp;#039;s ill. Uh, if that was how she sounds sick, goodness... 21:25LOL moment of the performance: Christina watching, hands clenched, tears rolling down her orange face. Bless. 21:23Time for Chris Mann&amp;#039;s solo performance now. He should really go with something made for his classical voice, because the whole &amp;#039;Chris Does Modern&amp;#039; thing doesn&amp;#039;t work for me. Ah, right - he&amp;#039;s doing Josh Groban&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;You Raise Me Up&amp;#039;. Wise choice. He sounds great! 21:12Jermaine is doing his performance to pay tribute to Blake - he&amp;#039;s singing &amp;#039;God Gave Me You&amp;#039;. I don&amp;#039;t know any of Blake&amp;#039;s music, so I&amp;#039;m just gonna let this one ride, y&amp;#039;all. 21:08More duets! Adam and Tony are doing The Beatles&amp;#039; &amp;#039;Yesterday&amp;#039; since Adam thinks it displays &amp;quot;pure, simple musicianship&amp;quot;. Yes, because that&amp;#039;s exactly what I think of when I listen to &amp;#039;Moves Like Jagger&amp;#039; (which, by the way, is a legit addicting song. It came on Capital FM earlier and I was like, Oh, snap!, but come on...).  20:59Next for the duets, Juliet and her coach Cee Lo are performing Steppenwolf&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Born To Be Wild&amp;#039;... totally not surprising and kind of a genius song choice for the two of them. Juliet thinks it&amp;#039;s her &amp;quot;anthem&amp;quot;, though, which is a perfect example of why she gets on my last nerve. Yes Juliet, we get it. You&amp;#039;re a self-described rebel rocker... on a mainstream network singing competition. Get a grip, woman. 20:51Chris Mann is singing one of Christina&amp;#039;s songs - &amp;#039;The Voice Within&amp;#039;, and she seems all too pleased. Christina loves herself, doesn&amp;#039;t she? God, if only I had half that self-confidence, I&amp;#039;d be good to go! 20:44Blake thinks it was fun and a &amp;quot;really cool version&amp;quot; of the track and leaves it at that. Christina says that it sounded great, though she gets her dig in, saying that the lyrical connotation was derogatory towards women. He graciously smiles and thanks her, which says a lot for his character.  Cee Lo likes it, calling it &amp;quot;hard&amp;quot;. Adam is so proud of Tony, but defends the whole &amp;quot;99 problems, but a bitch ain&amp;#039;t one&amp;quot; lyric by saying that it&amp;#039;s a metaphor for life. He then rips his shirt off to reveal a &amp;quot;Team Xtina&amp;quot; glittery t-shirt. What is going on?  20:40Next up, it&amp;#039;s Tony Lucca&amp;#039;s turn! Can Christina bury her... grudge (?) against him since it&amp;#039;s the finale, or will she find another way to make a dig? Who can say. In any case, he&amp;#039;s doing a rock version of Jay-Z&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;99 Problems&amp;#039;. Very clever, indeed. I&amp;#039;m not much into his style, but you know, I&amp;#039;ll go with it. 20:33Okay, that was so good that it warrants saying again: DAMN, Christina can sing. I think that&amp;#039;s like, the best I&amp;#039;ve ever seen her sing anything, ever. Holy smokes. Chris Mann sounded fantastic, too, of course. 20:31Christina sounds great, actually - as does Chris. I can&amp;#039;t even make fun of this because it sounds so good - particularly because Christina has decided to sing actual notes tonight rather than 90 in one syllable. I really quite like this. Huh. Go figure. 20:29Time for the first duet of the evening - Christina and her contestant Chris Mann are doing Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;The Prayer&amp;#039;. Confession: I used to love this song. Double confession: I used to be obsessed with Celine Dion as a pre-teen and even learned French to understand her early recordings, and I still speak the language to this day because of it. See how nice it is to share?  20:21Also in the LOL department, the contestants wanted to pay tribute to their coaches (aka &amp;#039;fill up a two-hour broadcast&amp;#039;), so each of them are singing one of their coach&amp;#039;s songs. First up, Juliet Simms is singing Gnarls Barkley&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Crazy&amp;#039;. First of all, way to pick the obvious choice instead of a Goodie Mob track. Second of all, you guys know I don&amp;#039;t like Juliet, so you can&amp;#039;t really expect me to say anything positive. 20:20I hate to LOL at sincerity here, but Jermaine is boo-hooing back in the Sprint Lounge with Christina Milian as he talks about &amp;#039;leaving his heart on the stage&amp;#039;, etc. I mean, I know he&amp;#039;s totally serious, but that&amp;#039;s almost what&amp;#039;s so hilarious. I know, I&amp;#039;m a jerk. But I think he&amp;#039;s sweet! 20:15Christina gives him a standing ovation, praising him for showing &amp;quot;so much heart and emotion&amp;quot; and for being &amp;quot;so classy and positive&amp;quot;, adding that he &amp;quot;shined like a superstar&amp;quot;. Cee Lo thinks it was a perfect song choice for the finale, and also appreciates the staging and Jermaine&amp;#039;s styling, citing the &amp;quot;depth and simplicity&amp;quot; (erm, aren&amp;#039;t those kind of opposites?) in the performance.  Adam agrees, saying that he&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;so powerful&amp;quot; and that he&amp;#039;s an incredible singer who&amp;#039;s impossible to look away from when he&amp;#039;s on stage. He adds that it was &amp;quot;so elegant&amp;quot;. Finally, Blake&amp;#039;s heart is in his throat and he&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;speechless&amp;quot; (no you&amp;#039;re not, Blake), confessing that while he&amp;#039;s heard the song a million times, he&amp;#039;s never heard it sung like that. He also reveals that while he&amp;#039;s technically the coach, he&amp;#039;s learned just as much from Jermaine.  20:12Time for the first performance - it&amp;#039;s Jermaine Paul. I like Jermaine - he seems like a genuinely nice guy. Still, he picks a bit of a clich\u00E9 track for this performance - R. Kelly&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;I Believe I Can Fly&amp;#039;. Argh. He&amp;#039;s got a gospel choir (I do love a good gospel choir) and is really going for it to the point where I&amp;#039;m pretty sure he&amp;#039;s going to give himself an aneurysm, but good for him, I suppose? 20:06OMG guys, Christina&amp;#039;s sick, too - twinsies! Kidding. In any case, the coaches are amped up and happy to be supporting their singers tonight, yada yada, you know the scoop. 20:04I know we haven&amp;#039;t even gotten started yet tonight, but my money&amp;#039;s on Tony Lucca for the win tomorrow - not because I want him to, but I think that&amp;#039;s the way the votes will fall.  By the way, in addition to singing solo, the contestants will be singing with their respective coach, as well. Hurrah! 20:01And we&amp;#039;re off! Only four contestants left and a whole 2 hour broadcast - fancy that! Prepare yourself for exciting performances, special guests... and lots of filler. Also, bear with me if my usual side-aching humour (har har) is skewed tonight - I&amp;#039;ve been fighting a horrible cold all weekend and this broadcast is keeping me from NyQuil and glorious sleep.
