Jaquie Roar STUNNED Singing Boston Smash On “The Voice”
Boston’s Bradley Delp looking down from above must be proud. Did you see as Voice contestant Jaquie Roar rocked Boston?
The finale of the 24th season of NBC’s The Voice was this week. If you don’t know this show, it’s a music reality show where up and coming artists compete and then choose to join a mentor team mentored by one of the well known artist-judges. This seasons judges include country music star, Reba McEntire, John Legend, Gwen Stefani and former One Direction star, Niall Horan.
The Voice is a very exciting show to watch. Unlike American Idol, the artist judges take these young singers under their wing, competing against the OTHER judge mentors, creating a fun and exciting rivalry within the show.
This season is no exception, as the singers are exceptional. Watching them, you wonder why they are not stars already.
“The Voice” Winner-Huntley
This week the crowning achievement went to a scratchy voiced star named Huntley. This guy has hair longer than my wife, and a voice that almost blew out my TV speakers. One of the memorable moments was Huntley’s performance of the Joe Cocker hit “With A Little Help From My Friends.” I have seen Joe Cocker LIVE. After watching that performance, Huntley won me, and the audience over, and deserved to win.
Jaquie Roar ROCKED “More Than A Feeling”
I have never heard a national performer, except BOSTON, perform the iconic hit, More Than A Feeling LIVE. Add to that, to perform on television, with a band behind you isn’t easy. The tv studio acoustics can be tricky. What the performer hears in the studio and what we hear at home can be two entirely different things. I can honestly say that Jaquie Roar’s performance of More Than A Feeling is now my second favorite version, second only Brad’s himself. It’s as if she effortlessly channeled Brad’s unreal range, but still made it her own. I can’t stop watching it. By the way, NO ONE ever cover’s Boston songs, because they can’t capture Brad iconic style, until now. But you be the judge.
Congratulations to ALL of The Voice performers! Let’s watch as Jaquie Roar ROCKED Boston!
