The voice Norway never stops surprising me with so many amazing voices. I can't wait for the next stage to watch those talents again, but at the same time, I don't want the auditions to be over, I wanna meet more and more of those amazing artists.

 

I wasn't waiting to like neither Lavrans or Sigrid auditions because of the song choices, again songs that I'm kind of tired of listening on the voice. But wow, they really surprised me, they both have so different and special tones that it's impossible not to like them singing anything.

 

Another episode hard to rank, tho. Hanna sang a song that I never get tired of listening, and did it very well executed. Even Andernach became one of my favorites, is definitely going on my team, a simple voice with no many resources, but his emotions really got me. The other two, I think they did a decent job, but didn't surprise me as the others.

 

1. Lavrans Svendsen

2. Even Andernach

3. Hanna Wiggen

4. Sigrid Brennhaug

5. Mari Haugen Smistad

6. Lars Mabro Carlsson

 

I'm not sure if I'm really gonna follow the whole season, or if anyone here watch it, but I liked the first episode, so I'll give it a try.

Episode 1:

Coaches Performance - Je dis aime

And btw if I'm not remembering it wrong, last year it was 3 days of shootings for the Blinds, and now we have 4, maybe we're having a longer season this year (?)

last year they started filming on May and the show aired from August.

So if they are starting to film now in February, its very likely to air on May

Are you gonna post the videos 

Yes, I'm uploading it now

This episode was brutal. I would definitely give both Harry Cleverdon and Adam Noviello a golden ticket. They should have done a top 32 lol

but yeah good choices, and an amazing top 30 after all

 

Apparently they are doing a top 21 cut next week, so 9 will be out. That will be tough, but from the sneak peek it looks like some of them are gonna crack, making it easier, hopefully none of my favorite haha

interesting i really loved caleb

lol I didn't like him at all, decent at the start, but on the chorus his falsetto sounded really badly supported

to me Eli was really the best out of the 4, but still not on the level of the other artists on the top 30.

To me that's the less strong episode. Maybe because by now I've already seen many great artists, so it needs a lot to impress. The 5 who went through were good, and again they were the best on the episode, so well deserving.

 

I probably wouldn't give the golden for none of the guys on the band, cause the were all average singers. As a band they probably work better.

The other 4 I believe they really have something to add on the show. Olivia might have an advantage being alone on the female rock spot.

AUDITIONS:

 

1. Ashli Marin - Somebody To Love

 

 

2. Isaac Parr - L-O-V-E

 

3. Caleb Parr - Believe

 

 

4. Jacob Parr - Faith

8. Olivia Britton - I Kissed A Girl

 

 

9. Kobe White - Just the Way You Are

 

 

10. Nikisha Priest - Trouble

 

 

DECISIONS:

 

1. Kobe White vs Caleb Parr vs Eli Parr

 

 

2. Nikisha Priest vs Kiani Smith

 

 

3. Olivia Britton vs Prayer Corby  

 

 

Jackson's voice to me is a gold, his tone is perfect, I could hear him all day. I can already see him on the finale, and to be honest, to me he's a potential winner. Obviously he joins Riley and Drea on my favorites.

 

I also liked the others, Gab is too good to be that young, his audition was awesome. Denvah is a special country singer, country is also not my thing, but her voice goes beyond that, loved it.

 

Jess has a good voice, but it didn't got me, probably my least favorite till now, but she's not bad at all, I just couldn't find something special on her yet. Actually, those last 3 girls who went for the decision, I couldn't care less lol I probably would choose Riley Lattuga over any of them.

 

AUDITIONS:

 

1. Riley Lattuga - You Are The Reason

 

 

 

2. Tayla Adams - Jolene

 

3. Brooklyn Handford - Riptide

 

4. Kiara Rodrigues - Before He Cheats

7. Jess Chalmers - Domino

 

 

 

8. Shaylee Gear - Make You Feel My Love

 

9. Christina Lando - Toxic

 

10. Jackson Smith - Eyes Closed

 

 

DECISIONS:

 

1. Denvah Baker-Moller vs Brooklyn Handford vs Tayla Adams vs Kiara Rodrigues 

 

 

2. Gab Hester vs Jackson Smith vs Riley Lattuga

 

 

3. Jess Chalmers vs Shaylee Gear vs Christina Lando

 

 

Another great episode, the 5 choosen ones were all great talents and this season is gonna be awesome if they can keep this level.

 

I'm loving that they are doing really good and fair choices. Tonight everyone had something really special. I'm in love with Bethany and Jet tones, they are really gifted with thoses voices. The raw sound of Jet's falsetto is smooth and warm. Isaac and Kym sound really experienced, mature voices, and execution of the songs on point, sounding like a studio record. Some of Kym's runs were mindblowing to me. Jesse also sounded really cool, he also looks like a little artist haha, it's harder to compare when they do those outside auditions, because of the acoustics of the space, but I'm curious to hear him next.

 

It's a really strong top30 till here, there will be some hard choices to be made.

AUDITIONS:

 

1. Isaac McCallum - Bruises

 

 

 

2. Bethany Byrne - Afterglow

 

3. Sam Snape - Thank God I'm a Country Boy

 

4. Jet Cameron - This city ft Sam Fischer

8. Jesse Lazaroo - Talking to the Moon

 

 

DECISIONS:

 

1. Isaac McCallum vs Sam Snape

 

 

2. Jet Cameron vs Jesse Lazaroo

 

 

3. Kym Miaco vs Georgia Renee Pitts vs Bethany Byrne

We need someone on Ibes level to audition but I also don’t know many more auditions there are 

The problem to me is that Jan turning at the last second for those 2 really bad auditions, makes me think that all the cast was really bad and they had to turn for literally anyone. Until now it really looks like that.

yeah, they're not bad, it's just not as good as Voice van Vlaanderen used to be.

Tonight I would add everyone to the team if there was more spots left. Since I like better the female sweet voices that I already have, I will only add Nola. Since I didn't add the girls that I liked better than the guys, I also will not add the guys. 

 

1 - Inger Lise Hope

2 - Kristina Moe Hals

3 - Helena Kirkedam

4 - Herman Randow

5 - Lisbeth Fumero

6 - Trine Uthaug

7 - Alexander Dokken

8 - Vetle Kleveland

9 - Irina Nordvik

10 - Nola Kvarme

11 - 

12 - 

That's again a really strong episode. Everyone was really even and had really good voices. I feel like the whole cast till here have possibilities to win the show.

And like episode 3, that's really hard to rank, cause they are all on the same level to me. 

Nola has the most special tone to me, I also really liked her song choice, so she's probably my favorite tonight (And she only turned 1 chair lol). I guess my ranking would be something like that:

 

1. Nola Kvarme

2. Maja Lindsetmo

3. Guro Røvik Marstad

4. Karoline Langeby

5. Audun Kristensen Myhren

6. Tor Vidar Rennestraum

 

I put Tor on the last spot but I really liked him, even though it's not the type of sound that I enjoy the most. He has a strong voice, and his original song was really impressive. I can even see him winning the show and apparently from the youtube comments he is an audience favorite. 

The sneak peek for this last week of auditions got me excited. I already know that Jackson will be one of my favorite's, beautiful tone. And also I recognized Imogen, she has been on The Voice Kids Au back in 2014 and she's also really good.

 

That definitely doesn't feel like Voice van Vlaanderen, it's really disappointing cause I was waiting for the show and now I probably won't keep watching this season.

With all respect to the contestants, but they are way behind the cast from the old seasons. Those 2 guys that Jan turned at the last second had really bad auditions, it's hard to understand why some coach would turn. I mean, actually apparently there wasn't anything good enough so they started turning for anything just to fill their teams.

 

Just to add I need to say that Parnian's audition was much better than the other girl who got chosen for the Comeback stage.

My favorite episode, I love the 4 who went through. Jake and Saoirse have beautiful voices and did a great audition. Jonathan is a showman, I think his audition was fun and I'm happy he went through cause I think I heard something in his voice and I think he has more to give.

I'm completely in love with Drea, to me her audition was perfect, she is a ready star, definitely an Idol. Her vocals and mainly her dynamics shows she knows what she is doing. She joins Ripley on my favorites.

 

The girls Kyle went after, are the only contestants on this episode that I didn't like, the ones who sang Hallelujah and Landslide have good voices, but really far from the level of the other contestants. Now Rohan, I loved her voice, it's such a different tone, I wish we could've heard some more of her.

AUDITIONS:

 

1. Drea Onamade - American Boy

 

2. Jake Carlson - I Won't Give Up

 

3. Hayley Mengel - I Said Hi

 

 

EXTRA: Amy Shark & Hayley Mengel - I Said Hi 

 

4. Claudia Reeb - Always Remember Us This Way

 

5. Londyn Foreman - Hallelujah

 

6. Seanna Farrow - Landslide

 

7. Jonathan Wells - SexyBack

 

8. Rohan Amaral - Valerie

 

9. Saoirse Harding - I Love You

 

DECISIONS:

 

1. Drea Onamade vs Jonathan Wells vs Rohan Amaral

 

2. Seanna Farrow vs Hayley Mengel vs Jake Carlson vs Saoirse Harding

 

 

Another good episode, I like the cast till here and I think they all have a lot of potential to improve. Ripley is still my favorite though.

 

Conor Smith have been on The Voice Australia before, season 8, he turned 2 chairs and was on Team Guy. I think he is much better now, and I wish we could see more of him.

.

AUDITIONS:

 

1. Amy Reeves - (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman

 

 

2. Tyler Hammill - Lonely Boy

 

 

3. Natasha Rose - Hands to Myself

 

 

4. Trent Richardson - Bless the Broken Road

 

 

5. Conor Smith - Classic

 

 

6. Cynthia Negash - Something's Got a Hold on Me

 

 

7. Saskia Doran - House Of The Rising Sun

 

 

DECISIONS:

 

1. Amy Reeves vs Natasha Rose

 

 

2. Cynthia Negash vs Saskia Doran

 

 

3. Conor Smith vs Tyler Hammill vs Trent Richardson

 

I'm sad that I'm not enjoying it like I wanted too lol

Alec has a good voice, but I don't think he's ready, his audition was really out of tempo. His performance on Comeback stage was much better but still with some problems.

 

I think my favorite voice, even though I can't understand the song is Charlotte. A beautiful tone with a good range. Marthe and Yasmine comes next, really close cause I also liked their tones, but again the song choices and also their vocal choices didn't got me.

 

I'm still waiting for something to impress me. No one was a bad singer, but just doesn't looks like The Voice van Vlaanderen to me.

 

Last season Néhemi, the winner Louise, Ruben, Season 7 Robin (epic audition), Season 6 I love 90% of the auditions, everyone was amazing, Glen, Margarita, Wannes, Ibe (one of the best auditions in the world), Season 5 the winner Luka is a complete artist, Yoeri, Anouchka, Bonni (the auditioin that made me watch voice van vlaanderen). The stakes are too high, and till now I don't see this season reaching it.
