The Voice Australia 2018

Hello!

Well, The Voice is over for another year. The grand finale on Sunday night was both nerve-wracking and exciting and the top four sang their hearts out for votes. At the end of the night Sam Perry was announced as the winner. To be honest, I was very surprised that he won but he deserved it.



In this post, I'm going to take a look back on this season's performances and share my favourites in each round, in no particular order.

The Knockouts
Sally Skelton - Skyscraper
This was a beautiful performance. Sally has a strong voice and I think she sounded just as good as the original artist Demi Lovato. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9ej8Htlg_c&list=PLizqsTy3Q-HKX-TpJVgs-Z-53zhTfzRB1&index=23

 Trent Bell - I See Fire 
I absolutely loved this performance by Trent. I have been a fan of him since his days in the band The Collective and have been lucky to see him live a few times. He sings with so much passion and you can tell how much he loves music and wants a career in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsvGk38Vrgk&list=PLizqsTy3Q-HKX-TpJVgs-Z-53zhTfzRB1&index=42

Battle Rounds
Jacinta Gulisano - How Will I know
I think Jacinta has an angelic voice. She's beautiful and I always love listening to her sing.

Sheldon Riley - Diamonds
Everything about Sheldon is amazing. I love his uniqueness and he sounded so good in this round.

The Live Shows & Semi Finals
Trent Bell - Every performance
I can't decide which of Trent's live performances was my favourite so I'm just going to say I enjoyed all of them, he was perfect in every round!. Here's a link to his first live performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVEDPc4474Y&list=PLizqsTy3Q-HL0IYuTeyix4NMIzCok8f8k&index=23

Aydan Calafiore - Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
At just 17 years old, Aydan is amazing and I think he did so well with this performance. I'm sure singing and dancing at the same time is hard but he did it with ease and from what I could see, his dance moves were perfect. This was one of my favourite performances of the whole season! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_pRCB4rCuM&list=PLizqsTy3Q-HJDKViGQOYmhL8sAyqxvRcb

Bella Paige - No Tears Left To Cry & All By Myself 
I can't believe this girl is only 16! She belts out every song strongly. She sounds so powerful and I'm no expert on music but I can't see any flaws in her performances. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sJtv3zT76g&list=PLizqsTy3Q-HJDKViGQOYmhL8sAyqxvRcb&index=5

Sheldon Riley - Born This Way
In my opinion, this song was perfect for Sheldon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkASMsv_VL4&list=PLizqsTy3Q-HLi9cpOygQ-O2YXOllnm3Qt

The Grand Finale
The top four - Sheldon, Bella, Aydan and Sam were amazing in all there final solo performancees.
They each performed a duet with their coach and these were my two favourites:
Aydan Calafiore & Joe Jonas - Shut Up and Dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koBIgQd8aJk
Bella Paige & Kelly Rowland - Last Dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqBC6ldbsTQ

Their opening group performance of 'This Is Me' from The Greatest Showman was beautiful.

Congratulations to Sam Perry on winning the competition!!! I know all these people will go on to do incredible things and have successful careers in music. I am enjoying listening to the top four's singles and looking forward to hearing more music from all the artists of The Voice!



Top Four Singles
Sam Perry - Trust Myself
Aydan - Something About You

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...
