Seal has cemented his position as chief overlord of The Voice Australia judging panel with his second consecutive singer-grooming success story after leading Melbourne teenager Harrison Craig to victory. The baby faced croon dawg was announced the winner at the Grand Finale episode last night [re-live every moment in our comprehensive Live Blog here], edging out runner up Luke Kennedy representing Team Ricky.
Seal was also the mentor behind title-clincher of the inaugural season of The Voice Australia, Karise Eden, who has made nary a peep in the Australian pop music landscape following the initial post-Voice hype phase. Can Harrison make a dent in the charts and keep the publicity juggernaut rolling now that the show has wrapped? I’m predicting there’ll be a degree of ongoing success in the over 60s demographic.
