Feel good-sometimes the right person wins! (The Voice)! SPOILER ALERT if you didn't watch last nite

Maelyn Jarmon is a 26-year-old singer who lives in NY and is completely deaf in one ear. Her coach was John Legend. She was up against 3 good ol' boys on Blake Shelton's team in the final.






Her voice is ethereal...listen to her sing Angel with Sarah McLachlan!



Such a moving performance of an epic song. Here are the lyrics:

Angel

Sarah McLachlan

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard, at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh, beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
And maybe empty
Oh, and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting
Keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference
Escape…

and control. David Foster should pick her up because she is so versatile. I don't know if current popular music is the place for someone who sings so well.

Dexter should have come in second though. I don't get why Gyth got as far as he did. He had some really pitchy moments throughout.

It was his looks. Meh...

I also thought Rod (Kelly's team) and Shawn Sounds (Legend) should have been in the final!
