Tessanne Chin

OK, since I don't watch TV and don't keep up on these thing, I am months behind on this. Several years ago I somehow run onto the "Hide Away" video by a Jamaican singer I had never heard of, Tessanne Chin. I was blown away by this women's voice, but did not post the video because I prefer to post live performances, instead of acted videos. Several times I have gone back to see if she had anything new, but obviously have not done this for probably about a year. So yesterday I finally find out that this woman won last year's edition of The Voice. She certainly deserves every honor she gets. Here is the original "Hide Away" video, and her performances of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "Redemption Song" from The Voice.
