JAMAICA ON TOP! Tessanne Chin is the champion of the American The Voice! Check out the singer's journey!
It happened as it had to happen. Tessanne Chin's explosive talent won over the judges and the audience last Tuesday night. What the reggae crowd already knew for years, the world can now confirm. Tessanne has been taking up space since the "blind auditions", a stage in which the judges turn their backs and analyze only the candidate's voice. At this stage, at least one of the chairs needs to turn. For Tessanne, in just 20 seconds the 4 chairs had already turned over.

SUCCESSFUL PATH

Striking presentations. This was Tessanne Chin's tour in this edition of the American The Voice. Adam, the singer's coach, was full of praise, making clear the singer's advantage over the other candidates. When she performed the cover of Jimmy Cliff, "Many River To Cross", Chin's morale began to rise, as in addition to showing respect for her Jamaican roots, it considerably elevated the singer's charisma. However, the highlight of the program, unquestionably, was Tessanne remembering the king Bob Marley with "Redemption Song".

From then on there was no holding back. Security took over Tessanne, and their subsequent performances were epic. In one of them he infected the program with the reggae "Underneath it All" by the band No Doubt - feat. Lady Saw. In the next stage came the maximum confirmation of his talent and vocal power with a world music classic, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Paul Simon, where Tessanne drags a high pitch for a long 16 seconds to end the song. Incredible!

FINAL

Tessanne became TOP3 alongside Jacqui Lee and Will Champlin. Without giving the other candidates a chance, the Jamaican chose the very difficult "I Have Nothing", by the diva Whitney Houston, sung on Monday night. Impeccable, as always, Chin practically put his hand on the cup. This past Tuesday he performed alongside another diva, Celine Dion, as the program headed towards its decisive finale. When the big time for the announcement arrived, the first to leave was Will Champlin, leaving the dispute between Chin and Jacqui. Coach Adam Levine told Tessanne: You can easily win The Voice this year... I have no doubt about it. NOMA doubt!” And he was right. Jamaica is celebrating, as Tessanne Chin is the undisputed champion of the 5th American The Voice.
