ROCHELLE PERTS WINS!! She got the 73% of the votes! Wow!
It's the final showdown. Rochelle vs Adlicious. The rapper full of swagger vs the amazing group with a lot of sass! Who will take the crown tonight? Neither have been in the B2 before, so it's anybodys game. Let the finale begin! ... It's time to face the music!
Comments, videos and ratings AFTER THE JUMP ....
Round 1
Adlicious
"Gettin' Over You" (David Guetta en Chris Willis feat. Fergie en LMFAO) - 9,5/10 - Firstly, I'm so glad they are in the final! They are a great group, one of the best I've seen and I really hope they get signed and release an album after this. It will be a hit. This is usual Adlicious stuff. A dance song with great vocals. Really enjoyable and fun! I loved that lines that Shirley sang! That was vocal supremacy! Amazing! - VIDEO
Rochelle Perts
"Fever" (Little Willie John - Beyoncé version) - 10/10 - As with Adlicious, I'm also really happy with her in the finale! She was the frontrunner since they auditions and she never stopped since then! She's got something really fresh and unique that will make her a great winner. She'll definitely be signed after this! This song is pretty great material! She's giving a jazzy song rap vocals. The rap scat was really good! She gave a new edge to this song! I'll even say I never saw a cover like this one! That was amazing!- VIDEO
Who won Round 1? It definitely went to Rochelle! Adlicious had a great song but Rochelle made something different with her's and relly refreshing. Other rando thought ... WTF was Stacey wearing? That was so wierd! Get an stylist please!

Round 2
Adlicious
"Firework" (X Campus) - 9/10 - I wouldn't have picked this song. In my opinion, "Bohemian Rapsody" was one of their best, unless the one I'd have liked hearing again. Still, this was a really great performance! They sang in harmony most of the song but the solo parts were definitely the highlights. And you know what? This is a great song for a finale!- VIDEO
Rochelle Perts
"Price tag" (week 3) - 9/10 - This is definitely the right choice for her. It was definitely one of my favourites though "Nothin on You" would've been a good one too. Her voice is so similar to Jessie J that this works just great for her. That said. I don't see how she made this song her own. She's doing a great cover of it but not bringing much uniqueness to it. But she nailed that too! - VIDEO
Who won Round 2? Definitely it went to Adlicious! Rochelle's was great but it had nothing new, Adlicious made that song sound different and gave it their own approach. Another random thought .. the eliminated contestants picked songs for them. That was interesting. And what happened to Jesse's hair? He aimed for a Cruela look? That's so no cool!
Round 3
Adlicious
"Earth Song" (Michael Jackson) - 10/10 - They are having another "Hey Jude" moment here. A slow emotional performance with really soft vocals but this is so much better! The second half, when it got intense and powerful was amazing! I could really feel that! It gave me goosebumps! - VIDEO
Rochelle Perts
"Strong" (Rochelle Perts) - 8/10 - Rochelle is performing the song that she auditioned with on her Idol audition some years ago. She's wrote that song. It seems kind of unfair that she gets to perform an original. That said, the song is good but it's not that great. It would have been more suitable for any other liveshow but not for the finale. It was actually a bit boring but it was a well written song and certainly well performed. - VIDEO
Who won Round 3? ADLICIOUS!!! That song was incredible! I couldn't stop looking at them. And it gave me chills! Rochelle had no chances to match that epic performance.
Round 4
Adlicious
"She's A Maniac" - 9/10 - Oh, this song? Really? Who suggested this for them? From the uncountable list of songs, they get this one which isn't contemporary at all. Let's see what they've still. Well, this isn't as bad as I was expecting. After all, they can make anything sound good. I'm still not getting this pick but this is sounding really great. They made it sound pretty unique, it's like an electro driven version of this song which actually works. And the three of them have great voices so they carry this just fine. Ok, I ended loving this! Haha! They made it unique and this will be a great single! - VIDEO
Rochelle Perts
"No Air" - 9/10 - This is a great song for her. My problem is that she and Jordin are similar but I'm sure that Rochelle will make this sound even better than Jordin. This is great but I would have picked a more rap song where she could show all her swagger. Her vocals sound really good here, she's got a special quality in it that sets it apart from Jordin's. The song had some epic moments where she hit some amazing notes. This will make a great studio, I'm sure! - VIDEO
Who won Round 4? Neither. It was too close to tell. Adlicious got a shitty song but then did a great work making it their own and the song came up great. Rochelle's song was much better but she didn't show anything new. The performance lacked something. Still good vocals. I will hear both of them when they are released though.
