Hanne Sørvaag chose Barbados-born singer Shontelle, who has two albums to her name and made her mark on the US Billboard charts . Shontelle agreed to join because she loved the U.S. Version of “The Voice” along with her love for Norway, although she had a busy schedule she cleared her time for it. She turned out to be very involved, threatening Yosef and crying during one of Sondre’s duels.
Hanne says it paid off having some American thinking on her team. “ When I had all my 14 participants for the blind audition, so I had a lot of talented singers, but many of them were very unsure of themselves, they were humble and just typically Norwegian.”
It was nice to have Shontelle there to boost up their confidence in an American way. “You are fabulous, wear the crown.” she said. She came and brought it the American style!
First episode will air on the Norwegian channel TV2, tonight at 9pm.
