Sia wins ‘The Voice,’ congratulations to Sia.
The last night of individual eliminations before next weeks Semi-Finals featured few surprises and one tragic performance.
But, just to be clear, this entire episode belonged to Sia.

Even more enjoyable to watch are Adams awkward attempts at dancing.
I even catch him doing acha-ching motion, for reasons that remain unclear to me.
This is definitely the most openly religious season ofThe VoiceI can remember.
Its also a reminder that such unguarded displays of spirituality are routine in much of the country.
(The three also-rans are Zach Seabaugh, Korin Bukowski, and Braiden Sunshine.)
2 on iTunes, trailing only Adele) are moving on.
But then, all other thoughts vacate my mind because it is time for Sia to perform.
Her ragged, pained voice is a shot of euphoria after weeks ofVoiceamateurs.
Sias presence even inspires a sense of humor in Carson: He tells her, You look lovely.
I assume shes pleased at the compliment, but I dont know for sure becausewe cant see her face.
NEXT: Is the third time the charm?
Its as if theyre suspended inVoicepurgatory for the next seven days.
If Korin makes it through, shell be the firstVoicesinger to be Instantly Saved three times.
She goes first, this time courting Americas votes with Colbie Caillats Try.
This is a tricky song, with lots of quick staccato notes and sudden, sweeping changes in volume.
Early on, Korin misses a beat and, flustered, forgets most of the remaining words.
Braiden repeats Korins tactic from last week: Cover a Maroon 5 song to curry favor with Adam.
He picks Harder to Breathe finally he performs the key in of soulful pop-rock record hed like to make.
It sounds like Braidens range actually gets smaller and his pitch more off-key the longer he stays onThe Voice.
Like his teammate, he also flubs a word, but he recovers almost instantly.
During the commercial break, the difference between these two is as close as its been all season.
But its enough to carry him through.
Braiden is moving on, and its the end of the line for Korin.
Couldnt America have just Instantly Saved Sia instead?
