RE: The Voice (Season 13) Finale
It was one of the rare times where the top 3 were the real top 3 of the season.
Addison, at 16 years old...to have that soft tenderness to her voice..to emote the way she does..to know who she is as an artist at her age. She's incredible. She's got some vocal control issues when she belts, but that'll be fixed in time. (I remember it took Jacquie Lee about 3 months after The Voice to have her voice under control. Although, I guess not many have the vocal improvement in such a short span of time that Jacquie did.)
And Brooke..again..she needs a vocal coach to work with her, but the talent....When she sang "Titanium" with Sia, and when she sang Amazing Grace..and she didn't go sharp at all...just wow. She's got a ton of tools in her tool box.
Another contestant (who should have been the fourth place finalist, and would have if he didn't destroy his own chances in the twitter save - by literally tweeting out to vote for his competitors), was very interesting. Noah Mac...another teenager, and he played a huge role in producing his song choices every week. Most cases he was always "almost there" with his production, but they were still interesting..and showed a lot of potential. He's also someone that needs a little bit of help vocally, but there's a lot of talent there.
Electric Love (Really, if you don't know the original, listen to it to see how this kid changed it. Really liked the arrangement after taking a lot of listening too it. And he didn't arrange the songs the way most people do..which is to just make it acoustic and not sing all the notes..)
In The Air Tonight
Agree about Chloe..there's something really authentic and cool about her. Haven't enjoyed a group of contestants this much since Season 4/5 of The Voice and Season 10/11 of Idol.
I expect The Voice will be quite strong again next season with Kelly Clarkson.
In terms of Haley as a genuine rocker, I didn't take that as a shot at her at all. IMO, Haley is very mixed genre. She isn't authentically rock, because she's more than just rock. She's a mix of funk, R&B, soul, blues, jazz, and rock. Chloe is a rock artist, who sang some pop/rock and new wave on the show.
Interestingly, when we initially got the list of who made the top 12 (which, spoilers got prior to the show even starting), Chloe was instantly my favorite because of her "Jolene" video.
