Vocal MasterClass Discussion For Season 12 Of The Voice: Shania Twain Joins The Live Shows

Shania Twain On The Voice

This week,  the Top 12 vocalists from Season 12 of The Voice perform live. The performance show takes place on Monday, April 24th at 8:00 PM, followed by the Results Show on Tuesday, April 25th.  

Viewers can vote in real time – during the show and after. However, this tactic has become controversial and rightfully so. The West Coast viewers have a three hour time delay for viewing the show so they have to vote blind. By the time the show airs in their time zone, the voting window will be  closed. 

How stupid is this?  Who stayed up all night to come up with this train wreck of an idea? I’ve got a better idea. Why don’t we all just vote now and skip watching the show?  That way it is fair to everyone – East or West.  And The Voice would have zero ratings. 

But you know you will want to tune in because Ms. Shania Twain is in the hot seat as mentor and guest judge. Plus she has a CD coming out. Can’t forget that (wink! wink)

Shania was in my choir for an abbreviated amount of time in her career. I am not sure if she learned anything but I am hoping that if she did she imparts her knowledge to the singers this week. (Double wink! wink!)

And I wish I could say that she is featured on my CDs, I Remember December, A Christmas Legacy and Scenes From A Dream, but she isn’t.   However, feel free to steam them all over the place – on Spotify, Amazon and Apple Music.

I know – shamelsss promotion.  My apologies. Ha!

Here is a glimpse of what to expect from the talented Shania. No one can bring ratings like this gal.

    If I hear Shania say “bel canto style,” “round mouth position” or “bend the knees,” I will give full credit to you and her early days in the Timmins Youth Chior, where it rightfully belongs.

    The voting on this show is nothing more than an advertisement for Twitter. I alway watch The Voice late at night from the DVR after my other shows go off. I was supprised to see the first round of public eliminations was done during the show, so I didn’t get to vote at all. I agreed with the outcome for the most part though.

    Haha Gene. Too funny. It would be nice to hear but somehow I can’t imagine those words coming out of her mouth. She is more into the style than the substance.

    I have been AWOL because of some recent deaths in our community. Some were unexpected and devastating. So, I am just now getting my bearings. Thanks for understanding and for your support.
