Sherry@sherryfit4life@NBCTheVoice @DiaMalai What's the problem? If they loved Dias look but Valerie's voice then that's the answer. Isnt it easier to dress someone up like a star than to get them to sound like one? Just put Dias look on Val Boom you got a star. We arent being ageist a little now are we????1@NBCTheVoice @DiaMalai What's the problem? If they loved Dias look but Valerie's voice then that's the answer.

I like Dia but she has time to perfect her craft.2@johnlegend @NBCTheVoice @DiaMalai John is absolutely right to honor the voice and go with Val. I like Dia but she has time to perfect her craft.Here's what the coaches had to say about Dia and Valerie's performance on The Voice Season 22:During rehearsals, Jazmine advised Dia to be a "little more slinky" and make her performance "less pretty." John and Jazmine helped Valerie with her phrasing. While Dia impressed everyone with her stage presence during her performance, there was something that stood out about Valerie's tone. She connected with the song better than Dia, but both performed their best.John Legend@johnlegendAn electric performance by @diamalai & Valerie #TeamLegend #TheVoice19035An electric performance by @diamalai & Valerie #TeamLegend #TheVoice https://t.co/8hS36s7J2nAfter their performance, Blake complimented Dia, claiming she was more consistent. However, he also added that Valerie's presence was more "explosive" than Dia's. Camila Cabello said that Valerie's performance scored better in terms of technicality. However, she also added that Dia was a better performer and kept her engaged. Camila revealed that if the choice was up to her, she would pick Dia.Gwen Stefani told Dia that she stole her heart. John Legend added that althought The Voice contestant embraced the character, Valerie could sing better. Ultimately, he picked Valerie as the winner. Sadly, no one used their one steal for Dia, thereby leading to her elimination. The Voice Season 22 will return to NBC on Monday and Tuesday next week at 8 pm ET.
