The Voice watchers, pick your winner!

10 years ago

Three of my favorites ended up in the finale, and they all seem like such nice people in addition to being talented. I hope they'll all advance in their careers because of this exposure. In fact, if American Idol is any indication, the ones who don't win might end up doing better than the winner.

Danielle Bradbury, utterly adorable, with that perfect, effortless voice, will surely get snatched up by Nashville. I hope so. But she's 16, and her blind audition was the first time she'd sung on a stage. She hasn't had a chance to put in the work the others have, and I'd hate to see her have to deal with the "too much, too soon" phenomenon that often afflicts young stars. So I hope she doesn't win.

I'd like to see the Swon Brothers or Michelle Chamuel experience the thrill of winning. Both have been plugging away at their singing careers for some time. I think both are more entertaining than Danielle, but in completely different ways. My personal choice is Michelle. I'm riveted to every one of her performances. What she does is so unique, and takes so much talent and ability. Her interpretations have made me appreciate songs I never noticed before.

Who are you hoping to see win?

Like you, I am rooting for Michelle, but I think Danielle will have more votes and win, both are special for different reasons. I love to watch Michelle perform and she touches me since she puts so much heart in her interpretations.

I think Danielle will be as big as Carrie Underwood as far as her career goes, she has the looks and the voice, but it will depend on how her personality develops into a more mature woman.

Susan, I am so torn who I want to see win. I love them all.
The Swon brothers' harmony is such a joy to listen to and they are pitch perfect. Not to mention the hot factor of the blond!! :)

Like you I like watching Michelle. I love the power in her voice, when she moves around the stage, and especially when she sings while kneeling and then back up.

I love country and am leaning towards the Swon brothers.

But whoever wins, they will ALL get signed contracts, no doubt.
This season was the best, I think. I liked the woman in the buzz cut last year who sounded just like Melissa Etheridge.

I started a thread this morning about AI.. it fell to page 2, but here are the posts from it. American Idol last night Posted by lydia1959 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 10:09 What did you think? I really liked Danny Gokey and thought both Anoop and the Braddy kid were good. The girls were mostly awful IMO... sadly I thought Tatiana was about the best of them. Follow-Up Postings: o RE: American Idol last night * Posted by danihoney (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 10:15 Same here. I love Danny, he's nice looking too. Sadly is exactly the word I would have chosen with Tatiana. Unless one of the other girls loosens up and really shows something, Tatiana has the better voice. But man that girl is just not 'right' if you know what I mean. She seems a little off and I can't see her winning this thing. I think she even creeps the judges out a little. o RE: American Idol last night * Posted by matti5 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 10:52 Danny is my favorite, he has so much heart and soul in his music. I like Anoop dog as well. I thought the guys far out shined the girls last night. I agree that Tatiana did well, but she definitely creeps me out. o RE: American Idol last night * Posted by happy_go_lucky_gayle (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 10:57 I don't know the Blondes name (with the red tips), but we like her best of all the girls. Tatiana's just to creepy. I agree Danny and Anoop are very good. o RE: American Idol last night * Posted by samkaren (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 12:40 I agree with Happy go lucky. Don't know the names yet but #3 with pink and blonde hair was the best. Tatiana did well but Simon said it best.."you are a drama queen". Still she did a good job with the Whitney Houston song. Didn't think much of the guys last night. Can't wait to see who gets picked tonight. If Tatiana doesn't make it through I wonder if she will have a melt down on stage. SamKaren your resident DJ

Agony of 1 Paint Color for Whole House is Over. The Winner is...

Have you ever thought of adding trim to the drywall above your entry? You could also trim out the drywall around the door entering into that living room. If you added a sort of boxed out area above the doors they'd have more presence and be better proportioned. We did that in our house, also a new build, and boy what a difference it makes. You could keep it simple with a couple picture frame moldings painted white to "fake" extend the trim or go very ornate with fluted sidepieces. It really helps to add interest to a two story foyer.

I have watched intermittently, so I don't really know many names. I remember the Swon bros, and thought they were great. I also think Danielle is great, and can be mentored to become a big star because she has the voice and the look. I would be hard pressed to pick a winner, because many of whom I have seen are really good. It just depends on what kind of music you like. When Sasha was singing (the last performance last night) I loved her when she was actually singing and not shouting into the mic. Her natural singing voice is beautiful, with a little bit of huskiness.

OBF NEW SWAP OCTOBER "YOUR CREATIVE COOKBOOK"
Q
Comments (269)
Happy Birthday, Erica! Emily, I'm amazed my cookbook reached you so quickly. Annie, you are so generous with the prizes - will be excited to get something in the mail - other than the overflow of catalogs, magazines, junk mail, etc. Annie, poor Emily will be be embarrassed to hold on the the envelope I sent my cookbook in. I only had one that was large enough and it was previously used so I put everything inside and wrapped the used envelope in paper cut from a grocery store bag. Do I get extra points for recycling? LOL Shirley, we may be close to getting some frost, but not tonight. I was upset that my pepper plants which I have tried to care for most of the summer are finally blooming and starting to grow peppers. I think they will be moved into and out of the garage for awhile. I not only want the peppers, but I want to save some pepper seeds! I haven't quite figured out the OBF football game. Some of you know I follow the Gamecocks at the University of South Carolina. They were not having a great year so far and then Coach Spurrier resigned this week and there was an interim head ball coach announced ... but the Gamecocks won their game today so maybe all of this will get straightened out. The teams we played the last two weeks have been very generous providing supplies for the flood victims, bottled water, and other assistance. My husband found a weather web site with a huge number of pictures of the flood. We were not here for most of those days - it looked so horrible. Of course, we worried a lot while we were away, but seeing it may have been worse. We still have water streaming through our horse pasture and it has been warm and sunny all week. We are ready for things to dry out. Well, time for bed here. Enjoy your day tomorrow! Jeanne

DH and I aren't crazy about Michelle, but we love Danielle and the Swon Brothers.

I hope the Swon Brothers win! While I think Danielle is the most talented of anyone on the show, her future is there for the taking. She is the next Carrie Underwood! The Swon Brothers seem like such nice guys and sooo talented--both in singing and musical instruments. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them become the opening act for Blake Shelton!

Michelle! Love her. I don't like Danielle. She is a cookie cutter singer like so many others.

In this interview, Michelle says she isn't sure why Usher chose the Taylor Swift song for her to sing last night. She says she would have picked "Grenade." I thought the same thing last night. Her rendition of "Grenade" was stunning, and I remember the long, long ovation she received. I wondered if perhaps Usher was hoping to attract some votes from country music fans.....

While I like Michelle's singing ok, I hate the way she kneels to hit the higher notes. That drives me nuts. Danielle is too young in my opinion. I think she needs to be a kid first. But I think she'll be picked up right away. I personally like the Swon brothers. That's who I am rooting for.

But I predict that Danielle will win mainly because she'll have the youth vote.

Loved, Loved Bob Seger!!! He still has it. The Swon Bros were in awe of singing with him.

This is so much better than Idol!! There is no feuding, or back-stabbing. Seeing Adam and Blake kibbitz was hilarious. Everything about this show is classy.

Until this season, I had no idea how great Usher is. I thought he was only a rap star. I really like him a lot. He's a genuinely nice guy and can sing!

When I first heard they were going to have a 2-hour show to pick one winner, my reaction was . . . um . . . unprintable. But I did enjoy the show. Loved the funny segments, like the one Jasdip mentioned and the bit about Blake using the same coaching techniques as Usher. So funny!

It'll be interesting to see where some of the contestants go from here.

I liked them all, but thought Danielle was the rightful winner. I totally agree with what others have said that she is the "next Carrie Underwood". Her voice is absolutely stunning. I am not a big country fan, but I really enjoyed the songs and may have to give country a shot!

I loved the hosts and they way they got along and teased each other. Shakira is a gem, and loved the part where they talked about her grasp of the English language. Too funny seeing the others' reactions. Not looking forward to having Christina back.

What did you think about Cher? I was really excited to see her, but I thought she looked awful and that song was incredibly repetitive. If she said "woman's world" one more time I was going to puke. And what the heck was she wearing? It looked like she had a bird on her head and a diaper in her pants.

I agree with your assessment of Cher. Plus I thought she was lip-synching.

I have a crush on Blake. And Adam. And Usher. And probably Shakira.

LOL Alisande. Shakira is really funny. I loved the little flag, cowboy hat and the glasses she wore when each one sang.

I too was extremely disappointed with Cher. She certainly was lip-synching, and as usual the music and voice were syntheseized. Horrible outfit......what happened to her sex appeal?? I know she's 67! but still she's known for her body.

I've always liked her over Tina Turner, yet hubby saw TT a few years ago, and she was out-dancing all of her dancers, at 68.
