It's Bev fer me... and I detest her "look"... the tattoos and the whole thing... but maybe that is why I like the show so much. Maybe it even opened my eyes a bit more about tolerence and acceptance even tho I consider myself quite open minded. She seems like a wonderful person and she is truly talented but if she was next to me in line at the grocerey store I wouldn't (have) struck up a conversation.

That is the value of "The Voice"... Bev would have NEVER been on Idol even tho she, in my books, is far better than some Idol winners.

In any case, The Voice is a great showcase for artists that might not otherwise be promoted on accounta they ain't "purdy" or don't "fit the market target" or whatever.
