Re: [BigBrother_Survivor] The Voice’: What Happened to the Season 1-12 Winners (page 2) 7-12

 

It's really too bad The Voice hasn't had any big success stories like quite a few that came out of American Idol. My favorite winner to date was Sawyer Fredericks, I'd never seen anyone like him before or since! I wish a Nashville record company would sign him!

7. Craig Wayne Boyd, Season 7Craig
Wayne Boyd went on The
Voice to audition with "The Whiskey Ain't
Workin'" by Travis Tritt and Mary Stuart. Shelton and
Pharrell Williams ended up turning around for Boyd, but
Shelton won the country singer over. His last three
performances were "My Baby's Got a Smile on Her Face,"
"Boots On," and "In Pictures."The
winner believes Shelton and Gwen Stefani are part of the
reason why he won. "I think it was important because of our
likeness in styles of music," he told
Sarasota's Herald-Tribune. "His crowd brings fans to
mine. But Gwen did really open things up to me,
understanding that more people than what I thought were my
demographic."


In
2016, he promoted his line of signature guitars. "Coming off of The
Voice, we had talked about wanting to do some
custom guitars," he told Taste of Country. "I
chose to partner with Dean because I could work with those
guys and create a guitar that would be something that every
teenage young kid that wanted to play guitar could have a
cool-looking guitar that also played really
well."Boyd also got married to model Taylor
Borland. They now have a daughter together named Dakota
Lynne
8.
Sawyer Fredericks, Season 8The
singer auditioned on the show with "I'm a Man of
Constant Sorrow." He was able to turn around all four
chairs, but chose Williams as his coach. His last three
performances were "Old Man," "Summer Breeze," and
"Please" before winning his season of The
Voice.After
the show, Sawyer Fredericks signed a contract with
Republic Records. In 2016, he came out with his album, A
Good Storm. The quick release was part of a new strategy
to make bigger stars from the reality show, according to
Idolator.


I
think that's a little difficult. The label [Republic
Records] is actually trying to do that right now. I did all
of the writing for the album, and once they heard the album
they wanted to really introduce me as a new artist, not just
as The
Voice winner. They want to get my music out
immediately, so that's why they're splitting the two
releases up with an EP out now, and the album coming out in
early spring.The young winner went for a contemporary folk and
rock sound for his album. "I kind of already had an idea of what style
I wanted," Fredericks said according to
Burlington County Times. "It was difficult to pick songs
that fit my voice, though. [The
Voice] wants popular songs. It was hard for me to find
songs since I listen to obscure songs."
9. Jordan Smith, Season
9Jordan
Smith auditioned with "Chandelier" and turned
around all four coaches with his powerful voice.
He joined Levine's team and his last three
performances were "Climb Every Mountain," "God Only
Knows," and "Mary, Did You Know?" After winning Season
9, Smith got a contract with Republic
Records.After
the show, Smith performed "You Are So Beautiful" at
the People's Choice Awards. He
also released his debut album called, Something
Beautiful. Smith's voice is so powerful that
even he was blown away by the album. As he told Parade:


The
very first time I heard it, I was so moved by it. It is so
crazy how it tells my story and what I believe so much, yet
I didn't write it. Stefan Macchio, who played piano for
me,
and the co-writer Lauren Christy were both there when I
performed it, so it was really cool for me to have them
there, but that song just speaks to me so much. It is full
of little nuggets of wisdom. I think that it represents
everything that I believe. It turned out to be the single so
people can know exactly what kind of music they can expect
from the album.Things haven't just been going well in his
professional life — he also got married to his longtime
girlfriend, Kristen Denny in Kentucky. 
10. Alisan Porter, Season
10The
Season 10 winner acted in Parenthood,
Stella,
Curly Sue, and I
Love You to Death as a kid. Then she went on the
show to utilize her singing chops. Alisan Porter auditioned
with "Blue Bayou" and got all four judges to turn
around. She ended up choosing Christina Aguilera as her
coach. Her last three performances were "Down That
Road," "You've Got a Friend," and "Somewhere"
before winning the season.So
what is the Season 10 winner up to now? Porter is
working on her upcoming album. "For me, it's just continuing to follow my
heart and do music that speaks to me," she told
People Magazine. She also said that she is open to
collaborating and wants to write as much as possible. She
also has another hard task ahead of her.


"Adele
stands alone in the industry as far as her genre,"
Porter continued. "I'm older, so to think about
being a pop star is kind of daunting. For me, it's going
to be that fine line of just finding my sound and what is
going to take me to the next level in the music
business."11. Sundance Head, Season
11The country-soul singer was able to pull a win in
Season 11 for Team Blake. After the show,
Shelton actually asked Sundance Head and The
Voice alum, RaeLynn, to perform on his Doing It to Country Songs tour.
He also signed with Republic Records as part of his reward
for winning the show
12.
Chris Blue, Season 12The
singer managed to win while on Team Alicia — the first
victory for her. The Knoxville performer is performing on
tour. He released a single called "Money on You" at the
show's finale, but he still has to release his
album.His
personal life is also going well since he is getting ready to get married to
his fiancée, Stephanie Dunkley.
