And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

The Voice: Semi-Final Results Show

And the final four were chosen.  If you missed yesterday's post on the Final 8 performances from Tuesday night's show, you can go here to view them, and read my reviews.

As I've mentioned many times before, The Voice has truly proven to be a better show than American Idol.  In MHO (my humble opinion), I think the producers knew what they were doing when they put this show together.  It was very entertaining, and all the semi-finalists are really good, despite some of my comments on Javier Colon.

So this is how the votes are calculated.  You have the public's votes and the judge's points from the previous night combined together to make it a total of 200 points.  On Tuesday night's show, each of the judges were given 100 points to distribute between their two contestants.  It was obvious from last night's show, the public's votes were converted to a scale of 100% in order to make up the total of 200.

In reality, the Judge's votes are important, because they can actually make it to where one of their "favorites" makes it through regardless of the public's votes.  All they would need to do is award their 100 points to one contestant, which was not the case last night.  It came close, but it didn't turn out that way.

In brief, this is how it went down...

Team Cee Lo Green:  Vicci Martinez garnered 124 points and Nakia 76 points;  Cee Lo had awarded Nakia 51 to Dia's 49, but in the end the Public voted her through.

Team Adam Levine Javier Colon garnered 138 points and Casey Weston 62 points;  Simply put, Adam was a douche.  He awarded Casey only 35 of his points and Javier 65.  You obviously know who his favorite was, not that he really had to coach him, because the old guy can sing already.

Team Blake Shelton:  Dia Frampton garnered 106 points and Xenia Martinez 94 points; Their total award was practically the same as Christina's team.  Both judges gave each of their contestants 50 points each.  Add in the public's percentage, and it gave them barely enough to overcome their competitor.

Team Christina Aguilera:  Beverly McClellan 107 points and Frenchie Davis 93 points; As the case with Team Blake, the public's percentage helped Beverly make it through to the next round.  Gay Power!

I'm voting for Beverly to win next week, but America will probably put Javier through.  Ugh!
