gender-fluid RAPPER brings HIP HOP to The Voice | Journey

Boy George and Siala both show individuality.... I love how both of them understand each other and work so amazingly!! George did really bring out the best in Siala....

That wasn't an audition. She was a guest performer that lit up that stage!

[@laralvr]

Exactly

[@alvajjoe]

Siala forgetting her lyrics might have been the best thing to ever happen to her. Mentally she knows someone truly believes in her even tho she messed up. Just from her background story she probably hasn't had anything like that. I know what it did for me. I hope Boy George helps her navigate the music industry and makes something of this opportunity.

[@erkaderka3571]

So true. She's always had to hold it together- a mistake in survival mode can't happen. A weight was lifted there. Love her heart✨

[@tekiedodson-rogers6275]

....... well said, Joe! Sounds like you know what you're talking about!! For Siala to be SO young, SO gifted, & SO VULNERABLE, I think her future was set in stone LONG BEFORE SHE COULD EVER HAVE KNOWN OF IT Ths Voice gave her two things required to go " into " MUSIC without the pressure. And what I'm talking about has little to do w/ the Industry, as formitable as it is! I'm sure you know I'm whispering " SELF DESTRUCT ". The advice George gave her is PRICELESS! " if you're not careful, the aggression which comes across in your music WILL IMPLODE ON YOU, & some artists aren't able to get through it."( paraphrased) I feel like she's a star-in-the-making, & if I knew where to tell George that Siala's future success will come to fruition with Him in her corner ! And as brilliantly as her star shined in The Voice, I feel we ain't seen nothing yet ! PS. I've YT searched Siala, & there she was, in the studio recording "EMOTIONAL CRIMINAL" You Go Gifl!

Boy George has surprised me with how wonderful and amazingly good he is with others, both his team and other artists. My teenage years were the 80's! I loved Boy George. I saw him in concert, Eurythmics(?) with Annie Lennox and a slew of others. Yea I'm just a little younger than Boy George but I think that was the best decade ever. I love seeing him like this! I would pick him for sure. Even though Siala didn't win the show she won with coaches. She received the best therapy, help understanding herself, confidence and I hope a life long friendship with Boy George. Her career is going to take off!

He is one of the best coaches of any of The Voices worldwide.

[@mariaeglesias8272]

Dubem Collins Hi to you, "A STAR IS BORN" a star is born, I'm 200% agree with you. For someone that didn't go to school, she's incredible, she got strong faith, out of what she said the hardship and struggles her mum and siblings went through, she's amazing. May God continue to bless her on her journey that the Univers will give her all she deserves to make her family happy. she will stop being a dad to her sisters and living life. Cause, her childhood and teenage life she has lost it from the day she started being a father and defending her mother from a verbal, moral, and physical life. May the Almighty, the Univers, and the most powerful force be with her. She didn't ask for that life, everything happens for a reason, she ran away like many of us did, does, and still doing because of the pressure in different ways. As far as I've understood, she saw and experienced a tougher and dangerous life out there than in her home, so, she had to come back, face, and stand for it by her family's side. She is much, much stronger than she shows us. The power is showing in her voice. She also has great determination, doors will be opening for her. With her faith and strength, she will get through. She has the capability to be successful around the world. I wish that one day I will be at her concert. Lots of love to her. Thanks to all readers, continue taking care & stay safe.
