Alisan Porter Won the Voice but did she Play the Mama card to put herself Ahead of Laith?

The voice season ten was one of the most exciting seasons so far. The talent was the best that I have seen in a long time and I have watched The Voice since the very beginning. A lot of contestants stood out and the mix of genres kept us anticipating the song choices and performance each week.

Alisan Porter was a front runner right from the beginning.  She won our hearts with her fairy tale childhood as Curly Sue and then  fed our guilt with her short lived movie career.  Don't get me wrong, her voice was amazing and I knew she would be a good competitor. She never let us down and continued to mix it up each week showing her vocal range.

It wasn't until the top ten that she really started playing the mamas can still follow their dreams card.  I don't think it was fair because it gave her a advantage in my opinion.  She beefed it up every week claiming that her quest for the win was for mothers everywhere to show them that it's never too late to follow your dreams.

I am not saying at all that I disagree with her about her mothers can do anything thing at all.  I am only stating that in my opinion it wasn't fair for her to use any advantage, even by accident or personal beliefs. Especially when more women watch the show then men.  The voting aspect is a whole different story.   Men usually don't vote on voice competitions so what did poor Laith have as his "advantage" or anything  said while on the show or off that could even possibly waiver anyone's opinion of him or his deserving to win?  Nothing, because he didn't need it, he was stand alone amazing and that's all he needed. That's all that should count anyway.

Laith al-Saada was the epitome of the show, The Voice.  He came out in the blind auditions and blew our minds.  His voice, his range, his rasp, and last but not least  those amazing guitar skills.  He was different than anyone that has ever been on The Voice.   As the weeks went on he continued to give me goosebumps and his guitar skills.... holy awesome batman.  I was for sure that he would win and then BOOM, Alisan popped out the mama stuff and I knew it was over for poor Laith.  He never gave up, he continued to entertain everyone. 

The season finale was exactly as I thought it would go but I must add that I am tired of the coaches performing, the teams performing with their coach, etc.  I don't watch the show to see the coaches perform, I wanna see the contestants.  No need for a two hour damn finale.  Another rant, I hate the long pauses by Carson Daly when announcing the winners, come on, is that really necessary?  It doesn't build anticipation if that's what NBC is going for, it pisses people off and that is how remotes get thrown into shit. 

I'm cool and I still love the show and will continue to watch as long as it's on, complaints and all.  I am happy for Alisan Porter and I know Laith will have an amazing career.  I can't wait for his album to come out.
