She's Taylor Swift, Jr. I haven't recognized a single song she's sang all season, which is why I wish she'd lose, but she won't. I think Michelle and Amber should go home, Amber bombed, bad. I think the only reason Danielle will win is because Blake blows smoke up everyones ass on twitter about her and his team.ernest_t_bass;1455884 wrote:Danielle will sell millions regardless.
Also - Sasha has the most talent of anyone left, but I don't think she'll win because she doesn't appeal to the tweeners.

Danielle will win because she has the most talent. Hands down. Period.
IMO, based on last night: Danielle-1, Swon Bros-2, Sasha-3, Michelle-4, Amber-5.

All the other artists have sung songs outside of their genre, but her. Only reason she's the favorite is because she's 16 and people are losing their shit over that.vball10set;1455910 wrote:Danielle will win because she has the most talent. Hands down. Period.

Honestly I feel she is more talented than Taylor swift. She can hit notes that only Carrie underwood can hit. You also don't listen to country that's why you wouldn't see the difference.

The judges can't see the difference either, even Adam made a comment about Blake picking country songs no one knows but him.Crimson streak;1455927 wrote:Honestly I feel she is more talented than Taylor swift.

I do agree she needs to song songs more current that people know. Like I knew the songs she sang last night but some of them I didn't know

It doesn't matter what Danielle sings, and that's been expressed by ALL the judges. I don't listen to country music, but I can listen to her sing anything. IMO, she's that good.

Carrie Underwood and Martina McBride are the only two country artists that are better than Danielle vocally.

Wow....No.Crimson streak;1455927 wrote:She can hit notes that only Carrie underwood can hit.
Perhaps some day as her voice matures. She often sings sharp, ESPECIALLY on her high range (which isn't as high as others to begin with). She has a nice tone in the mid range, but several singers on this season have/had better instruments (especially highlighted when she sang that duet with Amber a week or two ago).
Again, her voice may mature to rival Underwood and others, but she's really not in that same league right now.

With the top 100 songs, look at the release dates most of those songs are over 4 months old which means they've long since been downloaded. I think it's tough to go by itunes numbers since the voice artists are constantly releasing new songs. Still cool they all made the top 100.vball10set;1456062 wrote:fwiw

Because she's 16 AND cute. But unless you get her good writers/producers singing crossover/pop (ala Taylor Swift) she will be forgotten like other Voice winners.Raw Dawgin' it;1455912 wrote:Only reason she's the favorite is because she's 16 and people are losing their **** over that.

Ehhhh, 2 or 3 of the prior winners were better than her in pretty much every aspect and aren't exactly setting the world on fire. The Voice just doesn't seem to have the same machine that AI has to leverage their winners success into a career. And even AI misses as often as they hit.ernest_t_bass;1456119 wrote:No. She won't.
Doesn't matter how likeable she is - if she doesn't put out good music and put on good shows she will quickly be forgotten. We can sit here and criticize Taylor Swift all day, but the fact of the matter is there are hundreds just like her pounding on the doors of record labels every day. Success is so much more than just a pretty face and good voice.

There are only 3 other winners. 2 of them were a dime a dozen R&B singers, and Cassadee Pope is just getting started. Danielle will be a country music star whether she wins or not. She has the backing of the new power couple in country music, and they will make sure her career gets off the ground.gut;1456130 wrote:Ehhhh, 2 or 3 of the prior winners were better than her in pretty much every aspect and aren't exactly setting the world on fire.

Exactly just like cassadee pope. She might very well end up with her first single being a number 1

Hell, Blake even referred to her as his "retirement plan."se-alum;1456188 wrote:There are only 3 other winners. 2 of them were a dime a dozen R&B singers, and Cassadee Pope is just getting started.

Also, she is nothing like Taylor Swift, at all. Her voice is much more like a Pam Tillis or Patty Loveless.

Blake gushes about all his talent. Danielle has a very good voice, but her range is somewhat limited compared with others, likely because her voice isn't fully mature yet. But lots of people have great voices, she doesn't strike me as having the artistry of others, not even of a Cassadee Pope. Danielle is going to need a lot more help than just Blake/Miranda pulling for her. When Voice Karoake ends she's still quite raw.ernest_t_bass;1456196 wrote:Hell, Blake even referred to her as his "retirement plan."
A betting man would probably say Michelle Chamuel is likely to be the bigger star because of Usher. The Voice simply doesn't have the platform to continue to promote - no tour and I'm not even sure about the record deals. There's no problem for the top performers getting a deal, but there's a significant difference in terms of vested interest with what AI was doing.

This show is all about which coach is the most popular. Sasha > Swon and Michelle. I know black r&b singers are a dime a dozen, but she has a better voice than them.
I thought Swon Brothers singing turn the page was their best performance of the year. Most of the artists I really liked got cut early on because they picked awful songs and I think Sasha singing those two songs are the reason she got bumped.
I'm pulling for Usher because fuck blake ha

I don't much care or Shamuelle, but she's the closest thing to an actual "artist" that's been on the show for a while. Well, maybe Swon Brothers, too. Maybe, that one frontrunner of Adam's, but with her it was kind of like she was already a finished product and still just wasn't good enough.
Actually, the best thing for Shamuelle is that Blake's two country acts are left and could end-up splitting votes.
In general, I feel like his has been the weakest season so far. There are always great voices, but a lot of the performing and artistry is just not there this season.

Have you seen Michelle Chamuel? No way she ever becomes a star. If you're going to be ugly and make it in music, you better have Adele's voice.gut;1456506 wrote:Blake gushes about all his talent.

Unfortunately country fans will split the Swon Bros and Danielle's votes, and Michelle will win by default. That being said, both the Swon Bros and Danielle will have a much more lucrative career than Michelle, so it really doesn't matter.
