DeAnna Johnson Fan Thread

Meet DeAnna:
Welcome to the DeAnna Johnson Fan Thread! She originally auditioned in the final slots of Season 5 singing "Stars" by Grace Potter and The Nocturnals, turning no chairs with only two coaches remaining (Blake and Ceelo). This time has proved to be much different, as she turned all 4 chairs and chose Adam to be her coach, singing "All I Want" by Kodaline. She advanced to the top 10 before being eliminated, but this is only the beginning of her career.

You can visit her official website here for more on DeAnna. You can visit her awesome fan site, created by IndieFolkFan on IDF, here. Many of DeAnna's The Voice videos are no longer hosted by YouTube so go there for the full effect.

Check out DeAnna's erstwhile Wikipedia entry HERE.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Website Bio: Deanna is no stranger to The Voice stage. Devastated after no chairs turned for her in Season 5, she returned home to Georgia and took some time off from singing. It wasn't until her biggest supporter, her father, asked her to sing at church services that she realized how much she missed it. After a lot of hard work, Deanna is giving The Voice another shot.

Doing the Lord's work during these uncertain times

 

 

Thank you DeAnna and medical professionals for your dedication.

Since this season hasn't turned into an Emmy-winner, might as well make up my own fantasy scenario.  The excellent Miss USA instagrammer Lucas Sigarini posted in March with the decree that DeAnna not getting crowned was "One of the biggest robberies in the history of pageantry".   He does have a point.

 

 

No doubt that she was robbed on The Voice as well.  Everyone seems to have missed that DeAnna was doing crazy overtone singing in certain spots during her performances. Overtone singing is essentially harmonizing with yourself without doing overdubs.  By training your vocal chords a singer can create extra harmonics that can create some unique tones, which DeAnna clearly had.

 

She also had crazy phrasing, which sometimes sounded like an Irish or English singer, and she used melisma on certain words to make them sound alien. And the one time she did country on the show, her vocal breaks (or tasteful yodeling) was the equal of anything that Patsy Cline or Linda Ronstadt could pull off live.

 

And the story was that she was going to do Cher before getting cut, and was probably going to attempt the infamous Cher autotuned break without the benefit of autotuning. 

 

The fantasy is that she won The Voice, then Miss USA in May, and then the next day came back on The Voice to sing during that season's finale. That would have won an Emmy on the spot.

 

Cheers!

In response to Ryleigh's cover of It Will Rain, this classic instant save

The Cunningham Sisters gave the challenging song Oceans a go this last week. The adoreable younger sis has a DeAnna-like tone in her voice.

 

Here is DeAnna's cover of Oceans from S8:

 

And her longer studio version, in which the first half of the song finds her climbing the scale in a breathtaking way IMO.

 

If DeAnna does her annual Halloween costume, will post it

 

Here you go !

Seeing a new season of The Voice coming up, here's a rare DeAnna music video recently unearthed, covering a John Denver tune.

The All I Want cover by Gina was toneful but her microphone pick-up was echoing and modulating, so vocals were drifting in and out, like it was recorded outdoors, or in a gymnasium.  Might have fixed a little on the YouTube, but live on TV the vocals almost sounded muted ... in contrast, listen to the next.

 

 

[IndieFolkFan]

congrats Gina!   Since I started watching The Voice, Gina is the first winner I really dug. Her performances kept getting better. I have a feeling that Niall had something to do with this -- he must have sensed that she could lock into Irish intensity a la Sinead O'Connor, and recall that her cover of All I Want is by an Irish band.  Come on, the outfit even!

Even their quality of voice sounded similar too!

Yes indeed!  Where does it come from? I think of it as a combination of a southern drawl with an Irish lilt.
