‘The Voice UK’ review: Are Lara Lee, Howard Rose, Sasha Simone, Daniel Duke on Team Tom Jones?
“The Voice UK” concluded its weekend of Knockout Rounds with the various members of Team Tom Jones performing their hearts out, and trying to make it through to the live rounds. Tom’s proven to be a good mentor over the years, and it’s with that in mind that making it to the finals with him may be even more important than with some other choices.
With all of this being said, we would probably say that his choices for his team are probably the most questionable ones that we’ve seen throughout the entire weekend. If we were naming some of our own personal favorites at the moment, we would say Howard Rose, Sharon Murphy, and Daniel Duke all deserved to make it through.
Howard Rose – Well, one out of three is okay, we guess. Howard just has something very interesting about his personality and his vocal style. There is a ton of competition for his sort of singer this year, but he still stands out with a unique style.
Lara Lee – She is definitely a great singer, but to us, this is mostly a matter of personal preference more than anything else. She really didn’t do much wrong, and we understand why exactly Tom picked her.
Sasha Simone – She wasn’t a personal favorite, and we’ve felt there are some control issues here and there. Can some of these be corrected? We definitely think that they can, but Tom has some work to do with her. She’s almost a diamond in the rough, and if he does bring the best out of her, she could surprise.

So that’s three of us for a Sasha/Howard/Daniel line up. ?
Oh well, reading Daniel’s twitter, it sounds like he’s doing exciting things — recording. I guess it is up to the individual to make the utmost of their time on the show, no matter how far they get in the process.

I personally would have put Sasha through – then Daniel – not too sure who my third would have been – probably Howard

Thanks for blogging!
Sasha (raw emotion) and Howard (sheer energy and excitement) would have been on my team, right from the Blinds. But I would have preferred Daniel in place of Lara, not that she did anything wrong but Daniel is more distinctive and I just like him — genuine nice guy

I completely agree, Sal. Daniel is unique and distinctive and has a really special artistic style. I find Lara to blend in with thousands of other Lara-types, and I will never buy her music….well, because I’ve already forgotten her and she’s still on the show. In terms of strength, I would have put Howard first, then Daniel, and then Sasha in that order. Oh, well, I am not a Sir….
