  • Meghan Linsey Runner-Up on ‘The Voice,’ Sawyer Fredericks Takes the Win

    Meghan Linsey wasn’t crowned The Voice on Tuesday night during the season eight finale, but she did emerge the runner-up. Blake Shelton’s final contestant is likely in for a huge career change in the wake of the show however. Transforming from a country singer to a powerhouse soul singer, it will be shocking if no one signs her for a future album.

    Competing against teenagers Koryn Hawthorne and Sawyer Fredericks–both on Pharrell Williams’s team–and Joshua Davis of Team Adam, Meghan Linsey was up against some stellar talent. Had the show been about actual singing skills at the end–and not about votes from the public–many believe Meghan Linsey would have won.

    Sawyer Fredericks walked away with the crown, however. At just 16, the homeschooled son of a farming family in upstate New York, won The Voice. His vocals are powerful and definitely unique. But they didn’t really compare with those of Meghan Linsey.

    A few years ago, Linsey penned a song called ‘Change My Mind.’ She performed it live on The Voice on Monday night, and the music video was released today.

    One of the highlights of The Voice finale on Tuesday night was watching Meghan Linsey perform alongside Kelly Clarkson.

    Meghan Linsey reached out to Sawyer Fredericks following his big win.

    While surely no one begrudges Sawyer Fredericks winning The Voice, many believed Meghan Linsey would take the win.

    Are you among those disappointed that she didn’t?

  • Meghan Linsey: Will Blake Shelton’s Contestant Win Season Eight of ‘The Voice?’

    Meghan Linsey is one of four contestants vying for the title of The Voice. And tonight–May 19th–the season eight winner will be crowned.

    The only remaining contestant for Coach Blake Shelton, Meghan Linsey is up against three other powerhouse singers for the title of The Voice.

    Us Weekly reports that in addition to Linsey, Adam Levine’s contestant Joshua Davis is a contender, as are two of Pharrell Williams’s contestants–both Sawyer Fredericks and Koryn Hawthorne. Fredericks and Hawthorne are the younger of the four contestants at just 16 and 17, respectively.

    On Monday night, Meghan Linsey wowed the crowd in The Voice audience, as well as fans watching from home, with her original song, ‘Change My Mind.’

    The soulful ballad was about a real-life bad relationship she experienced several years back. Her song showed everyone at The Voice that Meghan Linsey isn’t just an amazing singer, she has some powerful songwriting skills as well.

    Meghan Linsey was once part of a country duo called Steel Magnolia. She even opened for Blake Shelton some years ago when he was on the road. Last night Meghan and Coach Blake took to the stage together.

    Now shining as an accomplished blues singer, she has sort of left her country roots behind, but still hopes to win The Voice–for herself and for her country coach, Blake Shelton.

    Do you think Meghan Linsey will emerge as tonight’s winner on The Voice, or do you expect that title will go to Joshua Davis, Sawyer Fredericks, or Koryn Hawthorne instead?

    Who do you hope will win The Voice for season eight?
