Jordan Gray performs 'Dancing In The Dark': The Live Semi-Final - The Voice UK 2016 

A complete artist

+Christof Milando Oh dear, you need to get out more!

@@debbiemoss4219 biatch

Haha!

Agreed, she has a real joyful energy.

How? Explain..

Wtf

+Zeo Khan of course Everyone wants the trophy so bad....

+MegaMad Maniac She really fucked up Bruce's song.

She just pranced around

+periurban I feel exactly the same! In the last 2 performances she felt too "precious" and too full of herself, but still the mixture in her voice makes it so interesting. She sounds like a well established performer and I would buy her album for sure! To think that no one had turned for her initially

Jack Lester I was visiting off line relatives.

+periurban I know I can be a bitch sometimes but I really don't care about Jordan. I don't like her voice, I don't like the performances and I hate, hate that she is in semifinals when didn't get a single turn in the blinds. It doesn't matter to me she is transgender, that was not fairplay. But well, what do I know, in season 3 I hated the guts of Christina Marie and she was one of the best. Probably was the same reason, the "star" treatment the show gave to both of them since the start.

+periurban I didn't notice her being too full of herself. Was that off the show? I only pay attention to the performances on the night, and I agree that she's a consummate artist and performer, as you say, and maybe that slight precious edge was part of her on-stage persona. I have no problem with it, and in fact love watching her. She reminds me of Bowie a little when she dons the velvet trouser suit look and throws herself about, all legs and attitude and that 70's retro vibe. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, and I was FURIOUS she didn't go through. But also convinced she will still work hard and make it, because what else can she do? This is clearly her destiny. Go, girl!

Jane Holland I think the world of music has changed. Haven't you noticed that people are far less willing to accept precious behaviour? "A great nurse doesn't swan about acting like she's god's gift after she saves someone's life, so why should a singer act like that after singing a song quite well?" That sort of thing. Even the old pop stars have been revealed in all their humanity as being not so very different from the rest of us. A lot of the fan idolization has faded. So, when Jordan showed us a wee bit of that "preciousness" she probably put a lot of people off. Personally, I think she was just trying to find her way through what must be a hugely difficult emergence. Whether there is room for Jordan in today's music industry, I don't know. She will have to bootstrap herself into play, by which I mean write her own songs and get good people around her so she can play live and build a following. I do wish her luck.

+Giovanni Barricelli Someone pulled out, so they had to choose one from all the ones that were rejected

+Peter Cook composer?:))))

+redrumax Yes - look past the telly box

+redrumax look up Tall Dark Friend on yt

+devin lozier histrionic

+Carolyn Greenburg they're so so different stylistics, you can't compare them, I don't think that's fair. Jordan's got this old school, unpolished almost Bowie esque wail about her, whereas Sean was impeccably clean and almost theatrical

+Kat and if you're comparing them because of their gender im pretty sure Sean isn't transgender ?

+Kat You are right, Sean's not trans. I think Sean came to my mind first because (and I think we have to agree here) both tend towards very dramatic performances - theatrical - and I prefer Sean's performance. This is, of course, a matter of subjective taste. Second, in terms of voice, I also agree with your descriptions, but I'm not sure it's unfair to compare them. They have quite similar timbre and intensity. Jordan's voice is good, but in terms of range (something I believe his judges and his audience (voters) tended to overlook in Sean) and hitting all the notes, I think Sean is better. I am not convinced that the notes Jordan fails to hit are missed on purpose - I think she runs out of air on some. If this is true, then breath control is something her coach should address. I don't DISlike Jordan, but I don't feel she has the best voice in this competition and I'm not convinced her performance offsets that. And of course, as you can tell, I'm a big Sean fan, which biases me, I admit!

She also was on her phone in Jolan's performance, respect is also key!

+Jonathan Lee I'm not in the position to judge her for that, but what I can say is that it's ignorant to call her performance "crap"...

+Mojo Pin Fools ears someday will realize

+elguaje2 Some will and some might never. However, Jordan has already proofed that she is a new and unique voice to modern music and I believe she will always be remembered for that :)

Do you have ears?

Someone on team Paloma Faith dropped out which opened up a spot in her team and by the rules of The Voice UK and the voice franchise all together the rules state two teams must be filled to Max Capacity. So that means Paloma was allowed to choose the artist that did not make it through the blind auditions and fill up her team

Heather deserved to stay any day over Lydia, that is for sure. Plus Matt is very talented, he should have gone further.

+FacheChanteDeux Definitely Heather over Lydia but it's not as big a gap as last week's Lyrickal-over-Harry abomination lol. BBC is showing Will some respect as the longest-tenured coach (and yes, I believe the 'voting' is a bit rigged).

Vince was amazing and has gone on to do amazing work he really was robbed and Matt was good too, I completely agree with you so wrong

+Mark J Kylie deserves none too. Matt and Vince deserve a better place - in relation to others finalists

Guarlaon1 While I was gutted to see Sophie-May leave, I think Jamie somehow deserved to go to the Finals to represent Team Kylie. He had this charm/likability to him and really built some momentum after beating his close friend Joe in the Battles. Matt being last place is robbery in plain sight, though. Andrea, for all her amazing voice and bravery, did not deserve to win from a talent-standpoint. It should be Leah McFall as the winner, Matt and Mike Ward as the runner-ups and Andrea in 4th.

+A BOUCETTA Yeah she's more of a visual performer. I'd rather see her in concert than buy her album.

+A BOUCETTA Bruce Springsting wouldn't of won this show...not boy dylan..not john lennon..not Prince..not even Adult Michael..you meant to say was her SINGING is not for this show where vocals are the most important thing but recording she would do fine.

Lydia Lucy from Team Will, Cody Frost from Team Boy George, Kevin Simms and Jolan from Team Ricky. Nobody from Paloma's team went through.

+Mike Bello nobody

+Mike S hahahaha lol. but true

Do you understand how fucking rude you're being?

Daniel Bowyer please share how

+Mike S true

how explain how. have you even been to a drag show?

A man biologically but he has since decided he's a woman so he's transgender.

the best on the voice in my and all of my friends opinions, soo sad wen I found out he didn't go through to finals last night love u Jordan
