Tessanne Chin lived up to the hype on The Voice 2013 final live performance on Monday night with a mammoth performance of Whitney Houston’s classic “I Have Nothing.”
Houston is undoubtedly a giant shoe to fill in the singing world, but Tessanne Chin made it look too easy.

“I dont have thoughts right now,” Adam Levine said after a long pause. “Everybody know this is sacred ground. Everybody stay away from Whitney Houston because it is so hard… It is unlike anything I’ve ever heard… I have no doubt in my mind that you are the winner of this show.”
During rehearsals Tessanne Chin did not get phased when Adam told her she should sing Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing.”
“Of course I can’t sing like Whitney Houston, but I consider this as a tribute to her,” Tessanne Chin said.
Tessanne Chin roared into The Voice finals last week with a flawless performance of “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” She went on to top the iTunes chart later that night with that performance.
The Jamaican songstress is the hot favourite to win The Voice 2013 grand prize of a recording contract and a cash prize of $100,000.

Tessanne Chin has won The Voice!
So so happy Jamaica is on top again that’s all to show how fast how deva strong and smart we are has a country tesan all the best to you and yours
I just want to remind everyone, no matter what you feel or think and no matter how ugly you want to be about any of the 3 remaining contestants, Jacque Lee in particular; they have all earned the right to be in the finale. Ugly words are harsh, mean and unnecessary and all seem to be aimed at the youngest, the innocent.
Jacque is a winner no matter what the outcome. She is still just a child and when the competition began she was only 15. She cannot help the fact that Christina has over obsessed about Her talents, all the while trying to mold her into the second coming of Christina Aguilera. As for her opponents, both Tessanne and Will, both coming from vocal backgrounds through their music making parents. Wills father a former musician from one of the greatest bands of 70’s, Chicago. Tessan, both parents teach music and Tessanne formerly sang backup for Jimmy Cliff. With that and both Will and Tessannes age, they already have advantage over Jacque.
Last nights final performances, Jacques mother was given a chance to speak and she said their family has no musical background. Another, disadvantage, if you will against Jacque. Something else that didn’t go unnoticed was the switch with Jackie and Will on their second solo. A few weeks back something similar happened, again Jacque Lee being one of the victims, when they switched her vote number with the following artist. Now, most of your publishing of the stories, current and most recent, NBC is showing favoritism towards Tessanne. So before any of you decide to pass judgement against a beautiful and talented child, with your bully words and tactics, remember she is a child!
Gee Oniel, I can’t believe you really believe Lady GaGa would do anything to sway the voters. Sounds like to me, you’re the Pot calling the Kettle black! Stop being so immature and a hater. Jacque is a child up against two advantaged adults. It doesn’t matter if Jacquie doesn’t take the title, she’s still a winner!
