(NBC)

On Monday, NBC’s popular reality talent show “The Voice” opened its third season finale with a tribute performance for the victims of the tragic elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn. last week. A lone gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday, killing 20 children and six adults.

The show’s 20 contestants joined judges Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine, alongside hosts Carson Daly and Christina Milian. Each person held up a placard with the name and age of one of the 26 victims murdered in the school shooting.

The group performed Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” Watch the video below via NBC/Mediaite:

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

The left uses children to advance their political agenda. Whether it’s organizing union protests during what should be a school day for educating those children, or whether it’s to ramp up the brain washing against guns,( Holders own word.) In the case of children who are unborn, the left murders them too advance their abortion agenda, even murdering those children who are in the process of exiting the birth canal, by having their brain vacuumed from their skulls. So when the left proposes a policy for ” the children”, they are as phony as OBAMA”S FAKE TEARS. These people are completely void of any soul!

yeah, what about those children aborted everyday for decades? What about those kids killed in car accidents just this year?

Did Xtina blast some cleavage, just to make us all feel so loving and concerned for the children?

PHONY LEFTISTS. Lack of mentation. False front buildings with no one home. Dumb POS. Lying fools. Sewer rats… .should I go on?

  Yep, was just gonna say the same thing. Obama cried tears, rightfully so, for the Newtown children…but not for all the children murdered every day.

  It’s all about location. You don’t see the faces of the unborn and they are unwanted in the first place. The killer is disguised as a doctor and the instruments of death don’t contain bullets. Pro-Choicers mourn when these tragic events occur; I mourn every day for those lost in the most dangerous place on this planet (the mother’s womb). We’ve created a culture of death and Obama has only upped the ante. I don’t deny that liberals feel for these children and their families, but their hearts are as hard as stone when it comes to the unborn. My brother is Pro-Choice and sees abortion as one means of controlling overpopulation. I find it hard to differentiate him from this teenager because they both devalue life to the nth degree. I guess that’s what you get when morals are relative rather than objectively grounded in God’s Word. May God bless the families in CT and may He remove the scales from the eyes of those who are selective when it comes to a person’s worth.

This song has lyrics that have nothing to do with God or faith. It was a stupid choice and totally inappropriate to sing while holding the names of dead children. The song is about a physical relationship. They may have been sincere in their wish to honor the children, but in their attempt to not offend their atheist friends, this is as close as they could get to a song about faith.

I wondered while watching this how many of these people actually KNOW God.

Then I decided to accept and embrace this for what it is.. A beautiful rendition of a beautiful song in memory of 20 beautiful children.

Outstanding show “The Voice” .. they do not need to resort to such classless antics to generate money.

Shame on you who think otherwise.

Go Casadee Pope.. Terry.. and Nicholas!!! You guys all rock and deserve to win!!!

Cant believe people want to pay tribute to the Dead and all you people come on here whinging and moaning saying its fake and they couldnt give a s%$# etc. You people have no idea how the people singing this song are feeling, the only people that are sick, poor excuse for human beings and who are trying to score political points are the ones on here whinging. Seriously why the F^%$ cant we except a tribute as just that a tribute, who cares what there political persuasion is.

  Tragedies like this should transend politics. I don’t think liberals are heartless, that they don’t mourn. They just have the opposite view of where they want the country to go as compared to me. It doesn’t make them heartless. It’s just that liberals tend to use tragedies to push their own agenda.

I personally feel that the tribute was heartfelt and sincere. There was no fanfare leading in to it, or at the end of it, just a simple remembrance that was beautiful. I feel everyone is trying to come to grips with a absolutely horrendous tragedy and feels the need to do something to let the families know that they are in all of our thoughts and prayers. This was not to boost ratings, it was simply to say, “We care.”

All do respect to the families.

This feels like cheap crocodile tears. The Voice is looking to cash in on someone else’s loss. If I were a parent of one of these kids, I would be absolutely pissed off at some stranger holding up my kids name and singing a little song in order to exploit my deceased child in order to get additional viewership.

The Voice – why don’t you give the families that extra money you made off network advertising (for increased viewership) and ad driven websites to help out with funeral costs! Heck – CNN, FOX, MSNBC – same goes for you.

I work at a mortuary in ‘At- Need’ family service. I thought I had seen everything but I have never seen Evil on this level. I cannot look at, talk about, or hear about these angels without sobbing uncontrollably.
One thing I have learned in family service is that sometimes there are absolutely no words. I want to love and be there for the families that I serve but there has been a few times that I have to distance myself because every move I make, every hug I give, everything out of my mouth seems so lacking. What can I say? What can I do? How do you tell a grieving Mother that it will be ok? How can I look that mother her in the eyes after her 16 year old daughter was raped and killed while my 16 year old daughter is alive and well sitting at home doing whatever teenagers do. I want to do something for her, I yearn to do something to help with her pain but everything is so insignificant.
The Voice had a beautiful tribute tonight. Cut them some slack… It WAS heartfelt. They did the best they could do to show honor and love to those precious babies and their families. Republican, Democrat, Liberal, Conservative…we are ALL human and 99% of us have a heart and feelings. For this ONE TIME can we all just open our hearts with love and understanding and stop being so critical of the other side….For this one moment we are ALL on the SAME side.

I still am having a hard time processing how someone could murder in cold blood 6 & 7 year olds. I cannot fatham the horror the adults felt that were charged with these childrens safety as they themselves were mowed down…perhaps even as their sight grew dim, they saw the little bodies falling or already fallen.

It makes me angry!

Then I see these memorials and tributes, and while it does not abate my anger, it does causes me to reflect and know that life is precious. I don’t think I will ever get ticked off at a little kid who kicks that back of my seat when I am on an airplane ever again. I don’t have children of my own, so I don’t know what its like to be a parent. I travel alot and one of my pet peeves has been little kids who kick my seat on a flight (happens more often then you think if you travel a lot).

No more, I’ll be glad to feel that kick (at least once & awhile)….at least they are alive.

What is absolutely sickening is that so many of those singing in the video above along with just how many of our sorry assed trolls here have bitch, cried, and moaned that there is such a thing as a religious holiday as Christmas in the first place. Now, so many are crying crocodile tears and saying these children will never be able to open those Christmas presents already under their family trees. To these people and I use that term rather loosely, these children are just tools to be used as an end to their means. All anybody has to do is go back and listen to a number of video, and audio recordings as well as read our well known trolls here. No reason to mention names, we all know who they are.

  I know it seems so hipocritacal; just like the SNL’s watered down “Silent Night”.
  
  But for me, I’m looking past that for now. My heart bleeds for these little children and young adults…..and I am counting the shooters Mother as one of them. This is a terrible event, and I would rather concentrate on the victims….the direct as well as the indirect victims.

  What I find saddening is how cynical you are.
  
  What’s funny is I always have religious people tell me how much I must hate my life. They say I have no hope and that I must live a lonely life.
  
  Really I think they are just projecting their own views of their life onto me because I’m not cynical and I think I have a bright future and love my life.
  
  I really do think you people hate the world but try to mask it as “love.”
  
  “1 John 2:15–17
  
  Do not love the world or the things in the world. If any one loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides for ever.”
  
  Even your “holy book” says to hate the world.
  
  So please, stop coming at me with this “oh you atheist hate everything. You’re so depressed, so angry” when your entire book is based around hating the world.
  
  Your worldview is that anybody who doesn’t accept a human sacrifice is destined to an eternity of torture(one your God created).
  
  Whereas I’m willing to stick by humanity and try to improve this place for myself and future generations. You’re just waiting for your “savior” to come and end it all.
  
  Why can’t you just view the tribute as something that it is? A touching moment. Take a chill pill from your zealotry.

  Get some help, you do have problems and need to cure your hate for your fellow man before it hurts you or other people.
  
  Mellow out and accept people that are different than you for who they are and not the color of their skin, sex, race or thought patterns. Everyone is different, embrace that as a good thing and not something to hate them for.
  
  Everyone else here know that the perpetrator had Aspergers syndrome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome
  
  The poor kid that pulled the trigger had a lifetime of pain not because of something he willfully did, but because of a genetic or chemical imbalance if you will. The same genetics that makes people gay, straight, retarded or Einsteins.
  
  This is just nature turning out different types of genetic soup in a never ending attempt to keep the genetic chain valid through the ages. Some combinations make humans that benefit mankind, others hurt mankind. Either way it is not the kids fault, not the parents, or the NRA.
  
  The only way to solve the issue is to prepare yourself to take responsibility for you, your family and everyone around you. Sometimes unfortunately that responsibility ends up being up at the business end of a gun.

  Mod,
  
  The verse you chose to quote doesn’t say to hate the world…..it says to not love the world or the things in the world..totally different instructions. People are not the world or things…they are our mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, neighbors, strangers,etc…. Even our enemies, we are instructed to bless. I believe the love which the verse is really sighting is a lustful, coveteous, greedy, envious, and jealous, which leads to all kinds of evil behavior such as stealing and murder.

  “God is love.”
  
  Which Bible did you read?
  
  “The beauty of the butterfly’s and fish’s is proof of a creator(God).”
  
  Uh, no it doesn’t.
  
  @48STRAIGHTS
  
  What are you babbling about? Did you even read my post?
  
  @FEMALE
  As I said, I think religion tries to say they “love” the world when in reality they hate it.
  
  Look how gleefully some of these people look forward to the end of the world, where billions of people will suffer….but there is a silver lining, they will get to meet their “savior.”
  
  Again, they say they “love” other people, but also think they were born worthy of an eternal torture.
  
  Luke 14:26
  New International Version (NIV)
  26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.

  Yes I read your post and yes you need to get some help.
  
  If you have people telling you that you are depressed and angry, you probably are.
  
  Why cant you accept people who are different from you in some way or another? Why do you project you own views of your own life onto others and demand they capitulate their beliefs to yours? Why does it bother you so severely that people believe in something you dont?
  
  You live your life and let them live theirs, whats so hard about that?
  
  Face the fact that there are people that are different than you and there is no amount of hate and propaganda you can spew out at them that is going to make them think that your twisted views you project on them are valid.

  It is religion who feels compelled to go door to door and annoy people.
  It is religion who tells other people that if they don’t accept their religion that they’re going to burn in hell for eternity.

  I don’t walk up to complete strangers and say, “you know your God is a myth right?”
  I don’t think people who disagree with me are going to get tortured forever.

  A 5 year old doesn’t tell me I’m destined for an eternity of torture for not thinking Santa is real.
  A 5 year old doesn’t tell me that I can’t be a moral person because I don’t think Santa is real.
  A 5 year old isn’t trying to pass legislation based around the idea that Santa is real.
  Last time I checked, the idea of Santa didn’t revolve around the notion of human sacrifices.
  
  If a 5 year old was doing these things, then yes I would tell them that Santa isn’t real.
  
  It’s also ironic that you compare someone who believes in God, to a kid who believes in Santa.
  
  I think the comparison is fitting.
