[QUOTE="Jason73, post: 33399, member: 3"] I think Celine's version is breathtaking. It's one of my favorites by her. I like that one too. The contestants are all members of the public. It's blind auditions--the judges don't know anything about who is auditioning and can't see them, only hear them and have to decide based on the voice if they want to coach them. A few times people who were part of the recording industry in the past but have seen the industry move beyond them, like Billy, have auditioned in hopes of getting a recording contract. People like Billy and (I'm assuming) Alison may have some celebrity cache, but can't get a recording company to give them a contract. They have to audition on the merits of their voice alone and not the past fame. I don't have high hopes that this will play, but here is Billy's blind audition. (He got the best coach): [MEDIA=youtube]wkJrShaOaz0[/MEDIA] This is the little emotional snippet they play about the contenders before the audition: [MEDIA=youtube]rKiDlJeMcvM[/MEDIA] This was an interview Billy did a few years back right after he came out: [MEDIA=youtube]SMSMv0vHRiM[/MEDIA] I think it's really cool that Martina tweeted that comment to him about his Voice performance. It doesn't surprise me that she is supportive of young artists (and a young gay artist even) but it's really nice. [/QUOTE]
