The Best Performances Of All Time On 'the Voice

... Covering Whitney Houston is a bad idea for most singers, but Season 5 winner Tessanne Chin hit it out of the park with her cover of “I Have Nothing.” The 31-year-old recording artist released her debut album in 2014 on Republic Records.

However, Matt Mc Andrew added additional grit and power, hitting all the right notes — even those tricky falsettos in the chorus. Frenchie Davis — “When Love Takes Over”. It’s hard to believe the first season of “The Voice” was all the way back in 2011, but who could forget powerhouse vocalist Frenchie Davis? Her flawless rendition of the David Guetta/Kelly Rowland hit “When Love Takes Over” wowed judges and audiences alike. Matthew Schuler — “Hallelujah”.

... of bullying, jealousy. Wiggins: WNBA's 'harmful' culture of bullying, jealousy. Candice Wiggins, La Jolla Country Day alumni and WNBA Woman of the Year recently described the WNBA as a "very very harmful" culture where she was bullied throughout her 8-year career. Tod Leonard San Diego Union-Tribune. Candice Wiggins had what many would consider a dream career in the WNBA. She was the No. 3 overall draft pick out of Stanford in 2008. She was named the league’s Sixth Woman of the Year as a rookie. She won a championship with the Minnesota Lynx. The success, Wiggins says now, hid a darker reality. “It wasn’t like my dreams came true in the WNBA. It was quite the opposite,” said Wiggins, who is being inducted into the San Diego Hall of Champions’ Bretibard Hall of Fame on Tuesday. For the first time in an extensive interview, Wiggins described what she said was a “very, very harmful” culture in the WNBA — one in which she contends she was bullied throughout her eight-year career. She also described the discouragement she felt being a part of a “survival league” that she said still struggles for attention and legitimacy after ...

How Getting On The Slopes Made For The Best February Vacation Week Ever

And my sons would be the last two to complain about the cold and needing a hot chocolate 10 minutes into standing in our first lift line. But they were still students, still trying to grasp how this all made sense. And when it came time for me to ski with them following their lessons, one run normally would take the bulk of an hour as I skied slowly behind them, ready to pick them up upon falling to the ground, whiny and tired. This year? We’re skiing together. RELATED: Ski resolutions for 2017. While my oldest was prepared to take the next step in his skiing prowess this winter, his natural ability ready to progress further, it was my younger son, 6 years old, who was attempting to play catch-up, without paying attention to honing his own skills. It was only two weeks ago when he began a multiweek program at Blue Hills Ski Area in Milton, and after ...
