TEAM SEAL

This will be an overview of Team Seal. It will contain info about the remaining member of Team Seal and the last person to leave Team Seal.
Karise in auditions
KARISE EDEN (REMAINING MEMBER)
Age : 19
Last performance : For her last performance Karise sang Hallelujah. The performance also featured her playing guitar. As always Karise's performance was packed full of power, passion and raw talent. 
Public opinion : Karise is currently number one on the iTunes charts. She has a rating of 5 starts (out of 5) on The Voice website. Karise has proved to be one of the most popular people in the competition, from the very start. Karise has been in the iTunes charts many times before.
My opinion : I think that Karise could win this. She has a lot of raw talent and passion that I think appeals to a lot of people. People can really connect to her and I have to admit that she has been one of my favourites in the competition.
Fact : Karise has a lot of talent but she has had a very hard childhood growing up in various foster homes and refuges.

Fatai in auditions
FATAI V (LAST MEMBER TO LEAVE)
Age : 16
Last performance : For her last performance Fatai sang On The Radio. The performance was energy and fun filled, impressing the judges.
Public opinion : Fatai has made it to the iTunes chart before and was popular through the competiton. Her voice at such a yound age has appeared to wow many.
My opinion : Fatai really does have an amazing voice, especially since she is soooo young.
Fact : Fatai loves music and is extremly religious. Her full last name is Veamatahau.

Team Delta

Sorry this is so late but it is here now and I hope you enjoy it. This post will be an overview of the Team Delta. It will include information about the remaining member of Team Delta and the last person to the leave the team.
Rachael with her coach, Delta
RACHAEL LEAHCAR (LAST MEMBER LEFT)
Age : 17
Last performance : For her last performance Rachael sang "Nights in White Satin" or as it is in Italian "Notte Di Luca". She sang the song as a mash-up of Italian and English. Although being sick and slightly croaky Rachael displayed her usual passion. Rachael has always loved to sing in other languages.
Public opinion : Rachael has a rating of 4 and a half stars (out of 5) on The Voice website. She is currently 48 on the iTunes chart. Rachaeal has been loved by the public ever since her audition song (Ave Maria). Ave Maria shot  to the top 10 in the iTunes chart, one of the very few audition songs to do so.
My opinion : Rachael does have a beautiful voice and a passion that I can admire. I do admit she does not sing my type of music, but you have to appreciate what she does, especially at such a young age. Although Rachael is well loved I can not imagine her winning. This is not because I don't think she has talent but purely because people are not going to vote for her enough. The people who mostly vote (multiple times) are the teen audience and I can not imagine teens frantically voting for Rachael. Sorry.
Fact : Rachael is legally blind due to an eye disease she has had since she was a child. Her sight has continued to deterate through out her life. Rachael's sight may be completly gone in a few months. Instead of letting it get her down though, she has let it inspire her.
Glenn in his audition
GLENN CUNNIGHAM (LAST MEMBER TO LEAVE)
Age : 36
Last performance :  For Glenn's last performance he sang the love song, "Heaven". The song also featured him playing the piano. The coaches praised his songs, saying they liked the way he made it his own.
Public opinion : Glenn has a rating of 4 and a half stars (out of 5) on The Voice website. Glenn has not got a lot of public attention through out the competition but has been described by some as a dark horse.
My opinion : Glenn can sing but as people I know have described him, he is a "dime in a dozen". Basically he can sing but he is nothing special. I am not deniening he has vocal talent but to me he is not a super star.
Fun fact : Glenn use to be Delta's back-up singer.

Hope you enjoyed this post, even though it was a bit late. The Team Seal post will defintly be done tomorrow! Keep tuned.. to my blog and The Voice.
