Totally agree!!!! And he responded as I thought he would, which was humility!!! Even Kelly at the end, without Blake seeing, said to the camera person, that Blake will be missed!!!! I'm looking forward to other ways we see them do special things FOR Blake b/c it is his last season. AND I can't help it, I hope one of his contestants does win the show for his last time. If not him, than Niall. ( I love the connection they've already made, who would've 4 seen this) Niall has ALSO done well as far!!!! They have similar hearts.

[@Mikki44]

[@tammyboon6259]

Listen I am late to the party of NIALL.. BUT, I JUST LOVE HIM too!!!! ♥️😊 I think he has such a beautiful heart & spirit abt him!!! I was raised on country music but I love & enjoy many genres. I was saddened when Blake announced, this would be his last yr & now his last season. BUT I understood & greatly respect why Blake Shelton has made this yr his last. He will be greatly missed & I will miss him. I've watched from the very beginning. I STILL recall vividly during the 2nd Season, Christina Aguilera referred to Blake's heart!!! Albeit I get tired of the Kelly battle w/ Blake, I know deep down they're like siblings. She admired Blake at just how committed his was 2 the Artists he has worked w/, once they were done the show. I DO think a lot of it has been about Blake's HEART!!! I have the utmost respect, that the main reason is 4 the family guy he has become. Its SO obvious that Gwen's boys love Blake & in reality, I wouldn't b surprised that her youngest is closer 2 Blake than his biological Dad. He was only a baby when they got 2gether & obviously b/c it was during her pregnancy with him, that her husband had an affair. BUT...I just LOVE NIALL'S heart!!! I can see how they're similar!!! AND honestly think he could replace Blake Shelton!!! I love how Blake & Niall connect on the show. U can tell that Niall thinks a lot of him, as he said, he can c why ppl loved working w/ Blake. They're both so genuine, humble & the joy, I think NIALL could become the next, King of the Voice. Blake has won more than an other coach & NOT just w/ country artists!!! As Carson has said, in all 22 Seasons, Blake has NEVER had an Artist from his team NOT in the Finale!!! AND he's won more than any other Coach not just in the U.S. but globally!! But I would've NEVER thot NIALL on paper, would come across the way he does & the connection he already has made with Blake. I laughed in the last ep & I don't think Kelly saw, but Kelly & Blake were the only 2 who turned 4 the last girl. When it came time 2 choose, Niall kept pointing at Blake while smiling at the contestant. She chose Blake. I equally love, how Niall has reacted to the contestants. His enthusiasm is SO genuine!

[@jaelynnelson3455]

put her spin on Harry Styles, and it sounded hokey and tender and pretty dang great. Love the lilt to her voice, that quick vibrato. This kept growing and growing and ended beautifully intimate.

[@alisalavine1052]

So this is my genre. We all tend to have little quirks in our voices and she absolutely fits right in. She needs to slow down her vibrato but everything else is pure Folk gold.

[@robertantonnyc]

@@alisalavine1052 Why should she slow it down? and how?

[@alisalavine1052]

So vibrato has a scale based on how tight the waveform is. The speed. It's been a very long time since I learned about this so I'm explaining in simple terms. The range is from 1-6. The human ear is really drawn to a vibrato speed of 4 to 4.5. This triggers a biochemical response in our brains that we fine pleasurable. Faster vibrato is harder for us to listen too. It is annoying. I hope this makes sense. As to your other question, most vocalists have a natural vibrato speed. My natural speed is probably a 5. So I slow it down to closer to a 4. How I or anyone else does it? I have no idea how to explain it. I just do it. If you're really interested, I can do some research and let you know. Once I started actively slowing down my vibrato it became more normal to use that slower waveform. So much so that it feels off if I slip into the faster one. So now my natural vibrato is a 4 instead of a 5. Hers is more like a 6 and is really irritating. And there's no depth to the waveform. That's common with really fast vibrato. I'm so sorry I can't explain this better! I'm no voice teacher. Just a very experienced and natural vocalist.

[@robertantonnyc]

@@alisalavine1052 I understood. Thanks for taking the time to explain what you know. I totally enjoyed her vibrato. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if she can bring some variation with it.
