Yes, I know I’m late in declaring the obvious stale news that Tessanne Chin
is in the Top 6 as of night of Tuesday, November 26th 2013, having
survived the Top 8 in “The Voice” as stated in “Tessanne in Voice
Top 6”, published Wednesday, November 27, 2013, The Jamaica Observer, but that’s
with good reason.
This was the reaction to her making it to the Top 8 here in Jamaica last
week. It’s been off the chain, especially since Usain Bolt turned up when she
made it as chronicled in my blog
article entitled “Tessanne
Chin now in the Top 8 of The Voice - Team Adam #BreadandButter on a Roll as the
Maroon War Wages and Usain Bolt dashes to support the Hidwaway Royal”.
Even Gordon Stewart aka “Butch” Stewart, Chairman of Sandal Resorts
International, couldn’t contain his excitement and made it known in a letter to
the editor of his own newspaper as can read in “'Butch'
Stewart hails Tessanne Chin, Usain Bolt's appearance on NBC”, published
Wednesday, November 27, 2013, The
Jamaica Observer.
Now Jamaican suddenly can’t stop talking about Tessanne Chin
making it to the Top 6 on the night of Tuesday, November 26th 2013
as stated in the article “And
now there are 6: Tessanne still safe”, published Tuesday, November 26, 2013
10:14 PM, The Jamaica Observer
and “Tessanne
in The Voice top six!”, Published Tuesday November 26, 2013 10:12 pm by
Davina Henry, Staff Reporter, The Jamaica
Gleaner.
Tessanne in the Top 6 – Maroon
War leaves Team Cee-Lo Dead and Team Blake Dying
The list of the Top 6 reads as follows:
Team Adam
- Tessanne Chin
- James Wolpert
- Will Champlin
Team Christina
- Jacquie Lee
- Matthew Schuler
Team Blake
- Cole Vosbury
After her rendition of reggae themed song No Doubt Underneath It All,
in Jamaica Patios as stated in “Tessanne
Brings Reggae Vibes To Voice”, Published Tuesday November 26, 2013, The Jamaica Gleaner and “Tessanne
rocks The Voice with reggae”, published Tuesday, November 26, 2013, The Jamaica Observer many Jamaican
“No Doubt” are rethinking American perceptions of Jamaicans.
Especially as the Americans are voting off their OWN fellow Americans in
favour of Jamaican Tessanne Chin
and anyone she wings with or even associated with Team Adam! Even Rolling Stone
too slight with Adam Levine’s experimentation with Jamaican accent as stated in
“Int'l
magazines sound off on Tessanne's No Doubt performance”, published Tuesday,
November 26, 2013 3:42 PM, The
Jamaica Observer despite it really
being a suggestion by Christina Aguilera.
Tessanne Chin’s Gamble – Reggae
song in Patios proves Americans Love her Underneath it All
Many Jamaican though this was a risky move but ironically proved to be an
asset. Quite the contrary, as by singing in a Reggae Song in Patios seems to
have made her more popular, hence the reason why they voted for her as stated
in my blog article
entitled “Tessanne
Chin is now in the Top 12 for the Live Rounds of The Voice - How to vote for #TeamBreadandButta
via using a VPN or Proxy Account Last Vegas Style”.
Americans, it seems, liked the Bob Marley-esque voice and her ability to
sing in Patios made her appear to be a more versatile artiste and not just a
high notes Whitney Houston Clone as stated in “Tessanne
deejays and The Voice audience goes wild”, published Monday, November 25,
2013 8:57 PM, The Jamaica Observer.
She even got “props” from Lady Saw, who originally sang the song with the
Group No Doubt as stated in “Lady
Saw gives Chin thumbs up”, published Wednesday, November 27, 2013, The Jamaica Observer. Clearly she’s
heading for the No. 1 spot, which may explain the RJR (Radio Jamaica
Rediffusion) Communications Group planned launch of a Kingston Music Week as
stated in RJR
Group to celebrate Kingston Music Week, Published Thursday November 21,
2013, The Jamaica Gleaner which
will last from December 1st to December 7th 2013!
The timing is
more than coincidence as Season 4 of “The
Voice” is scheduled to end on Tuesday December 10th 2013 as noted in local listing on TVGuide,
a week after Kingston Music Week here
in Jamaica.
No Doubt, the
RJR Communication Group is expecting Tessanne Chin to
win and thus became the Voice of Jamaica. Hence they’re getting the Party Celebration
in Gear for what may prove to be the greatest Christmas Gift to Jamaica since
Bob Marley exposed Americans to Reggae Music!
Tessanne Chin on a high – Interest
in her music peaks as a Shelly Ann Fraser 1-2-3 looms
And as I had noted too, her popularity’s carrying her fellow competitors
with her as Team Adam is yet to shed any members. It’s also having a positive
spinoff effect on her music careers as well.
This is both in terms of her singles on her recent album In
Between Words, which sells on Amazon for US$8.99 as stated in “Fans head to
Amazon for Tessanne - 'Voice' performances spark interest in singer's debut
album”, Published Wednesday November 27, 2013, The Jamaica Gleaner as well as bookings
as stated in “Higher demand,
price for Tessanne's voice”, Published Tuesday November 26, 2013, The Jamaica Gleaner.
It seems being named the Sexiest Man alive is also very helpful to Adam
Levine’s popularity from being chosen as People Magazine’s Sexiest Man alive as
stated in “Adam
Levine crowned People's Sexiest Man Alive”, published Friday, November 22,
2013, The Jamaica Observer as
well as Tessanne Chin
being on his Team.
Curiously, Team Blake lost Ray Boudreaux and Team
Cee-lo is out of the running altogether as Caroline Pennell is now gone as
well. Team Aguilera, however, was dealt a slight as the Maroon Frontman’s Team
took a swipe as her, as one of her Team members Matthew Schuler was
scalped but was resurrected by Twitter voting! Team Aguilera beware; her days
are also numbered!
The Future
of Jamaicans in the Voice – Denyque and Ishawna should enter in 2014
The Muses are indeed Kind and the All Seeing Eye
likes what they see! Let’s see if they’ll be even kinder and make it another
1-2-3 with Jamaica leading the pack in the Top 4 as we’re gearing up here in
Jamaica to celebrate with an Inaugural Reggae Week when she returns!
Hopefully in 2014 after he wins, other Jamaicans
may enter the competition. May I suggest Ishawna and Denyque for “The Voice” in 2014? They have the
potential to go further as they are two halves of a Sweet and Savoury package.
More on that in another article. Right now I’m gonna watch tonight episode of “The Voice” where Bob Marley seems to
be making a Redemption Song!
Until then you
know how to vote for Tessanne Chin:
PS. You can also buy her album as
