Memphis Talents Shine on “The Voice”
In the vibrant city of Memphis, excitement is in the air as two local artists, Jamison Puckett and Jeremy Beloate, take their shot at stardom on this season of “The Voice”. With their sights set on the coveted title of champion, both have already experienced the emotional rollercoaster that comes with being on the show.
A Jarring Experience
After finishing their blind auditions, emotions ran high for both young artists. Jamison Puckett articulated his feelings wonderfully, describing the atmosphere on stage as “a wild experience; it’s a bit of a void.” He shared, “You walk up there and it feels huge and really quiet so it’s a bit jarring.” It’s intriguing to think about what goes through a performer’s mind in such a high-pressure environment.
When Jamison came on stage, he felt the familiar jitters and nerves creeping in. “As soon as I sang that first note, I felt those jitters, and I felt those nerves,” he recalled. “All I thought for myself was you’re doing this; there’s no turning around, you have to make this happen.” Jamison’s determination and spirit come through loud and clear, illustrating the passionate heart that drives him toward his artistic dreams.
Jeremy’s Remarkable Moment
On the other hand, Jeremy Beloate had an electrifying moment during his audition, receiving a four-chair turn from the judges. “You know I prayed for the four chairs, and I prayed that it would go well,” he said. It’s inspiring to know the power of hope and prayer can fuel ambition, especially in this intense environment. “Like honestly, I had no idea what would happen,” Beloate admitted, reflecting on the uncertainty of the moment.
What makes Jeremy’s journey even more poignant is his personal story. He opened up about his loss, sharing, “I lost my dad and two brothers to addiction.” He uses his experiences as fuel for his music and sees it as a way to honor his family. “I use everything that I’ve gone through, and honestly, music has been an outlet for me.” It’s clear that both Jamison and Jeremy are not just chasing dreams for themselves; they’re also carrying the memories and legacies of their loved ones with them on stage.
A Shared Journey
In a fantastic twist of fate, both Memphians have the same coach this season – the talented crooner Michael Bublé. With his guidance, the two artists will undoubtedly bring their own unique flavors to the competition. The grit and grind that come from Memphis seem to already be ingrained in their approaches to upcoming battles.
Jamison leaned into the grit and grind mindset, saying, “I think I’m going to come in with confidence. All I can do is learn from this experience.” He emphasizes the importance of growth, hoping to hatch a strategy that will help him shine even brighter in the weeks to come. It’s this kind of attitude that makes watching artists grow and succeed so exciting!
