Alice Fredenham – Amazing Talent!


When this gorgeous lady first featured on 'The Voice’, the judges did what they were not supposed to do. They didn’t turn around. Of course, the song she chose for the blind auditions was a Jazz song – which anybody with a good sense of music and a keen perception of her voice, could have guessed it’s an awfully bad choice. But then, judges should have taken note of that sultry voice - that liquid gold – as another panelist on a different show later describes her voice. But instead each judge (Will, Jessie Danny and Tom) went on to give their description of why they haven’t chosen her. So much so, that her spirit was almost broken. Its one thing to stand on stage and sing and quite another to take all the stuff the panelists dish out. The Voice (UK Version) – simply threw her out. I guess her confidence got sapped. For that matter anybody’s could have – When you think you are a professional and four of them agree you are not! It’s kind of creepy as hell!!!

When she featured on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ – Boy! Am I glad she did it – she was so nervous, you could see her hands all fidgety and her composure shaky. But then like a true warrior of this world, she came back to compete. The scars of losing were evident as she hasn’t told a soul that she had come for auditioning on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’. Unlike earlier, this time her choice of song was bang on. Looking at her nervousness, anybody would have thought her voice would crack or she would go off track, but nothing of that sort happened…instead it was spell-bound silence in the wall-to-wall packed auditorium as her voice probed the depths of hearts and rang like gentle chimes in the ears, raising the hair on the back of the neck. It was simply amazing!

Finally, the judges did what they were supposed to. Voted for her! All ‘Yeses!’ True. Alice has a long way to go. But since her voice fits a certain variety of music, will she really deliver the knocks on all genres? That’s the issue in question. But knowing Alice, one can never be sure of what surprise she can throw…

Here’s the video of her singing the sultry number “My Funny Valentine”.
