The Most Mesmerizing Audition: Jai Waetford

This 14 year old boy is unbelievable, he sings like an adult who went through a lot of pains in life. This performance of Jai Waetford at Xfactor Australia 2013 is without doubt the most mesmerizing audition I have ever seen. 

The Most Remarkable Group Ever to Perform on The Voice USA

"Diamonds"

This performance proved that Season 4 had the greatest singers The Voice USA ever had. Each of these powerhouse divas had different yet magical voice. Individually they are great, putting them together is excellence. So far, this group is the best and most memorable ever to perform on the Voice.

I just don’t understand why in spite of these remarkable singers, the show ended unbelievably underwhelming.

Here are some of the most breath-taking performance of these four ladies

Sarah Simmons - "One of Us"

Sarah Versus Danielle (Season 4 Winner) - "A Thousand Years"
This pairing is like David vs Goliath, and its very obvious who's the Goliath

Michelle Chamuel - "True Colors"

Judith Hill - "You've Got a Friend"

Sasha Allen - "Alone"

Hannah Barrett

Every single performance of Hanah in Xfactor 2013 is remarkable. You can feel the emotion, the sincerity and the story of the song. Her tough experiences certainly helped her deliver such emotional rendition. To be able to deliver something like this is astounding.

She may not be the winner, but it is without a doubt that she won the heart of many.

The Room AUDITION - "Read All About It"

The Bootcamp Audition - "I'd Rather Go Blind"

The Judges House Audition - "A Change is Gonna Come"

Live Show Week 3 - "Skyfall"

Live Show Week 5 - "Wrecking Ball

Live Show Week 7 - "Hallelujah"

Top 5 The Voice Philippines 1st Live Show Performance – 2nd Batch

1.Casper Blancaflor – Chandelier

Casper showed with this superlative performance how stunning and different her talent as compared with the other contestants. It was the best performance of 1^st The Live Show.

I was so disheartened with the decision of Lea despite that great performance of Casper; clearly, she did not see the huge potential of Casper. Her voice and style is haunting yet edgy, catchy and unique; definitely one in a million. This kind of artist is the type that can make it big in the international scene; if we observe famous artists like Adele, Sam Smith, Sia, Katty Perry, Rihanna, Christina Perri, Cher Lloyd, Pink, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, and so on so forth, these singers who recently took the world by storm have something in common, they all have a voice that is unique, distinct and exceptional. The world is no longer looking for singers who just have the big voice because there are already a lot of them; the trend today is ORIGINALITY and ARTISTRY.

I wish all the best for you Casper. I know there is something better waiting for you. I hope to buy your album one day.

2. Tanya Diaz - Natural Woman

The rasp and soft voice combined on a song is awesome! That versatility and distinct tone of Tanya is absolutely outstanding. I’m super happy she made it.

3. Jason Dy - Thinking Out Loud

Jason is back on the game. His voice is really pleasing to the ears. I hope to hear more because his best so far is still his audition performance.

4. Mackie Cao - Making Love Out of Nothing at All

That is what you call, a performance of a lifetime. I never thought Mackie can be this good.

Power + Passion=Mackie

Alisah Bonaobra - Bituing Walang Ningning

She has the big and clean voice, and a great life story that most Filipinos would want to win, but I am still waiting for a performance that will set her apart from the rest.

5. Timmy Pavino - Hanggang sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan

A classic soulful rendition, Thumbs up!

Kokoi Baldo - Love and Devotion

Heartfelt!

TOP 5 The Voice Live Show Performance – First Batch

1.Jason Fernandez - Hanggang

Its one thing to sing the song, but it’s another to tell the story of the song through singing. Jason F succeeded in translating the message of the song, it was so heart-warming. This is by far, his best piece.

2. Daryl Ong - Lets Stay Together

This performance is still as smooth as expected. It was technically perfect, soothing to the ears, but I did not feel the song that much. I’m hoping his next performance will not only focus on how to sing the song perfectly, but also how to make it remarkable, in a way that can draw emotions from the listeners. 

I'm so glad he made it, i expected it though. I'm looking forward for his next performance.

Monique Lualhati – Maging Sino Ka Man

At the beginning of the show, I didn’t like Monique that much, but this performance of her made me adore her. She nailed the song, and I felt it, not to mention how attractive she was that night. J

3. Ferns Tosco – Its A Heartache

I’m completely at a loss that Ferns was eliminated. I can’t believe it! She performed the song with so much sincerity; I felt it from the beginning to end. Her artistry and unique vocal quality is world class.

4. Lea Patricio – Queen of the Night

Her vocal prowess is unbelievable!

5. Rita Martinez - Smells Like Teen Spirit

I never saw her this good, its her best performance.

Suy Galvez – I Won’t Give Up

I wasn’t a fan, but after hearing this performance, I’m like “Wow!”. Like Rita, Its her best. 

Top 5 Most Talented the Voice Hopeful who Didn't Make it to the Live Show

1. Shairah Cervancia

Im really upset that she was not chosen. I really thought that she was the Dark Horse of the Show. She has so much potential.

The BEST BATTLE ROUND Performance! 

2. Elmerjun Hilario         

I still believe that this performance of EJ is way better than that of Kai. 

3. Krystina Ng

Like Shairah C, this lady also has a great potential. She has a beautiful tone. Maybe just a little dynamics, the ups and downs, the soft, the high, and the big notes. There is something unique with her voice, something special that could set her apart from the rest. Hope to see more from this lady in the future.

4. Joniver Robles

I felt bad for Joniver when that chance was taken away from him. He deserves to be on that show.

5. Daniel Ombao        

This man has a soothing voice, too bad his pairing with Jason Dy was placed at the middle of the Battle Round where the judges becomes too picky, he is way better than the others, he should have been stolen.

Top 4 Knockout Round Performance who Almost Didn’t Make it at The Voice Philippines Season 2

1. Poppert Bernadas

He is a talented singer but with this performance, he failed to hit the right notes. Fortunately for Poppert, Demmie gave a shaky performance as well, giving him the chance. I believe prior performance had an effect to this decision of putting him through.

2. Kai Honasan

Her vocals is shaky and all over the place, I think it’s a strategy why Bamboo chose her over EJ, maybe because she has a unique vocal quality, or since she is a part of the Original Camp Kawayan, or perhaps Bamboo saw a better potential from her.

3. Jason Dy

Jason failed to make a connection with the song, I felt like it was overly performed, and too much embellishment. But I am happy he made it because he is way better than this performance.

4. Rita Martinez

She must be extremely happy for the 2nd chance. She deserves it, so sad Joniver is no longer a part of the show.

Top 10 BEST Knockout Round Performances at The Voice Philippines Season 2

1. Daryl Ong - Greatest Love of All

He gratefully sold the song. He made it like his own. Those runs are perfect as usual. I still believe that Daryl has the best package to make it big in the music industry.

2. Casper Blancaflor – Bring Me to Life

Her vocal quality is unique and original! Absolutely exceptional!

3. Ferns Tosco – Let it Be

A classical country singer; She killed it!

4. Alisah Bonaobra – Follow your Dream

A typical Filipino pop singer with the big voice; It’s true she is incredibly good, but I hope to see more from her, something special that could set her apart from singers like Sarah G & Angeline Q.

5. Monique Lualhati – I Knew You Were in Trouble

I’m surprised at how good she delivered the song. The technicality and emotion that the song required was hit bulls eye. Totally unexpected!

6. Lea Patricio – Bukas na lang Kita Mamahalin

Im not a huge fan of belters but I really felt this performance from lea. effortlessly good.

7. Shaira Cervancia – Don’t Stop Believing

I was really disappointed that she didn’t make it through to the live show. Of all the contestants, she has the most versatile vocal ability that can sing any song, any genre. The only problem I can see with this performance is that it lacks a little emotional connection to the song; maybe if the song was stripped down a little, background instrument was minimized or lessened to focus more on her voice, and a little arrangement of the song that can also showcase a soft part of her voice, then she should have delivered a very touching performance! Too bad I wasn’t her coach (Just Kidding). Hope to see her more.

Jason Fernandez – Push

Like Arnee, He gave his all. A solid and remarkable performance.

8. Tanya Garcia – I Remember You

She definitely rocked the song, but I hope to see her sing something different also, something surprising, like a ballad arranged to sooth her voice.

9. Rence Rapanot – Walang Hanggang Paalam

His performance gave me chills! He is a worthy OPM Ambassador.

10. Arnee Hidalgo – Fallin

She gave it her all. The hottest performance of the round.

Kokoi Baldo – Bilog Nanaman ang Buwan

Interesting performance.
