And The Voice UK Is...Announced
The Voice UK has finally declared a champion. After a long night of performances and live voting, the results are in and the first champion of The Voice UK has been decided by the public. With a recording contract , the winner now has a foot in the door of the tough music industry.
The British public has spoken and Leanne Mitchell (28) has been declared The Voice UK. With her performance of James Brown's This Is A Man's Man's World, she won the nations hearts which took her through to the next stage of voting that night. Bo Bruce (27) one the other hand gave a stunning rendition of Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares 2 U while rival Tyler James flirted with Michael Jackson's I'll Be There, both of whom advanced to the second performances along with Leanne. Unfortunately, Vince Kidd (22), failed to receive enough vote to proceed despite his stunning rendition of Jimmy Cliff's Many Rivers To Cross.
All contestant also earned a possibly once in a lifetime opportunity to perform a duet with their coaches as the first round of voting was opened. Team Danny went with Professor Green and Emeli Sande's Read All About It. To practice their duet, the duo went busking to also increase exposure. Team Tom chose to practice in the world famous jazz club Ronnie Scott's for their take on the classic Eric Burdon's Mama Told Me Not To Come. Team Jessie didn't stray far from home with her own single Nobody's Perfect, and what better way to reach for the stars than to practice in Wembley Stadium. Usher's OMG was Team will.i.am's choice of song. However, before practicing in the studio , the two hung out at the Glamor Awards to rub elbows.
After the first round of voting finished, Vince Kidd was out of the running leaving the remaining three to perform their favorite song from the live performances in a last performance ever. As the second round of voting was being held the coaches performed a lovely medley of their hit singles, Breakeven, Price Tag, Where Is The Love?, and It's Not Unusual. Also a special performance from The Voice US judge Adam Levine with his band Maroon 5 before the voting ended and the winner was announced.
Leanne was the last person standing of the three. And there you have it, The Voice UK. If you're in the UK you can register for the open audition on the official website for the 2nd series. And Best luck to all contestants of the newest talent show on the block.
