I'm assuming most of you watch the Voice of Ireland? If not it is an Irish show where singers from all over Ireland perform Blind Auditions where the judges cannot see them, therefore they are judged solely on their voice. The auditions started a few weeks back and if you were watching them you would of seen my friend Erica O'Hara audition! She plucked up the courage to apply for The Voice this year and made it through to the Blind Auditions (not as easy as you think). I'm so glad she did go for it as she is such an amazing singer, I always get slightly jealous when I listen to her sing ( do not have a single note in my head!!!). I know I am late with this as the live shows are now starting but as I said before I just could not find the time to blog! Anyway her audition aired on the 10th February @ 6:30p.m. and here it is:
Erica O'Hara's Blind Audition
It is so weird typing your friends name into Youtube and seeing that she s trending worldwide! She was so nervous ( as were we watching it!!!) but Jamelia spotted her potential and turned her chair around. You can clearly see how happy Jamelia is to have Erica on her team and how proud her Mum and Dad are! She goes on to the next round which is the Battles where she goes head to head with Roisin Carlin, who is also an amazing singer. Erica looked so comfortable on stage and really gave it her all, they both put on a great performance which was very entertaining to watch. Check out their battle here:

Unfortunately Erica did not make it through to the live shows but I am so proud of her for having the courage to audition for this show and make it to the Battles. This is not the end for her and I know she will go on to do greater things in the future as she is unbelievably talented and this show has created openings and opportunities for her.
Our Voice Party
Until next time,
