Review: The Voice

Season 21 holds the best talent yet

With the final round of blind auditions coming to an end, The Voice is loaded with amazing talent across all four teams. 

Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Ariana Grande and Blake Shelton will now prepare for the next round of competition known as the knockout rounds. As all four teams now identify themselves full, it will be intense to witness which artists will advance. 

If you have never watched an episode of The Voice, it may be best to catch up on Season 21 as this year contains plenty of artists who will blow your mind. 

Raquel Trinidad, a 23-year-old singer from Miami, expresses herself through singing and creates glass art to inspire creativity. 

With an eager heart, Trinidad was hopeful to lure a coach in her direction. It would be later that round, during which Ariana Grande would claim the young artist after an impressive take on Stevie Wonder’s “I Wish.” 

As several individual artists take the stage, a certain trio would gather the attention of two coaches. This trio from Redlands, Calif., is made up of Neil, Gentry and Rob, and the latter two have known each other for more than 20 years after meeting while playing music in church. 

While struggling through their own trials and tribulations, The Joy Reunion solidified a ticket to the second round on Team Blake. 

The most wholesome part of these auditions is hearing the stories of how each artist has made it to this stage. The idea of knowing true determination and passion lies within the hearts of these individuals. 

This goes for 30-year-old Holly Forbes, who lives with her partner Seth and their children Oliver and Violett in Catlettsburg, Ken., where she writes songs and works as a caregiver for patients with autism.

Forbes’ story and talented voice is like none other. After singing backup for so many years, Forbes was prepared to step into the spotlight during the blind auditions. With a stellar four-chair turn, Kelly Clarkson ended up victorious in becoming Forbes’ coach. 

After witnessing the blind auditions, so many were left wanting more and attempting to guess who would claim the end prize in the season finale. 

While so many teams are looking sharper as the weeks continue, it is safe to say that my bets are placed on Team Kelly Clarkson to win Season 21 of The Voice.
