Antoinette goes Marley

JAMAICAN-BORN Anita Antoinette delivered a soulful rendition of Bob Marley’s Redemption Song on Monday’s airing of NBC’s talent competition, The Voice.

Throughout her performance, the Season Seven audience sang along and swayed from side to side. Once again, her performance wowed the judges, who were not hesitant to express their sentiments.

“There is something about your voice that is soothing and relaxing. Great job!” said country and western singer and judge Blake Shelton.

“I’m so proud of you. That song is one of the most important songs ever written. You should be proud you get to be an ambassador to Jamaica,” Adam Levine chimed in.

Even prouder was her coach Gwen Stefanie who said that Antoinette’s performance was authentic and incredible.

Incidentally, Jamaica’s Tessanne Chin — Season Five winner of The Voice — sang the Marley anthem enroute to her victory.

Redemption Song is from Marley’s 1980 album Uprising. The single is considered one of Marley’s greatest works. Rolling Stone placed the song at number 66 among The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2004.

Born in Kingston, Antoinette migrated to Boston at eight. This is her second crack at the competition. She was unable to impress any of the judges in Season Three.
