When <strong>The Deadbolt</strong> caught up with Jermaine on Tuesday, a week after winning The Voice, Jermaine admitted to reporters that he already has plans to work with Alicia Keys on his upcoming album and also put in a request to work with OneRepublic singer/producer extraordinaire, Ryan Tedder.</p><p>Although Jermaine Paul is now about to carve out his own name in music after winning The Voice, Paul revealed to <strong>The Deadbolt</strong> that his solo endeavors began much earlier.</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been performing and trying to do my own thing for about a year and a half now, still doing background work and gigs, and things like that. Before I did the background singing, I was trying to be an artist myself but it was with a group and I was the front guy. Coming out of the back is definitely a change and a big differnce.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6390" title="Jermaine Paul on The Voice" src="http://static.thedeadbolt.com/images/2012/05/jermaine-paul-the-voice-1-300x162.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="162" />When Jermaine Paul first stepped on to The Voice stage for his Blind Audition, singing &#8220;Complicated&#8221; by Avril Lavigne, fans got to see the culimination of years of experience as back-up for Alicia Keys. It was Jermaine&#8217;s powerful vocals that first turned the chair of Cee Lo Green and later Blake Shelton, who Paul ultimately chose as his coach.</p><p>As the second season of The Voice progressed, it was clear that Jermaine was a frontrunner to beat.</p><p>So, how does Jermaine Paul feel about his background experience being an asset on The Voice? As Jermaine told <strong>The Deadbolt</strong>, it was an integral part of his musical growth as an artist.</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;Honestly, the background has helped me to harness my energy and hold on to my own true originality, my own feelings, and my own vulnerability. Just being out there, it felt right to get out there and sing. It feels like I belong there and it felt right. I don&#8217;t mind sharing myself with the world.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6391" title="Blake Shelton and Jermaine Paul on The Voice" src="http://static.thedeadbolt.com/images/2012/05/jermaine-paul-the-voice-3-300x162.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="162" />Although many were surprised when Jermaine chose Blake Shelton to be his coach on The Voice, it was arguably the best decision Paul made all season. Given the powerful soul within Jermaine&#8217;s vocals, it&#8217;s interesting that Christina Aguilera didn&#8217;t make a play for Jermaine along with Cee Lo. And since Adam Levine won The Voice last season with Javier Colon, an equally powerful but softer singer, Adam&#8217;s loss this year was another coach&#8217;s gain.</p><p>However, after so many years as a background singer, Jermaine now gives credit to Blake for helping him find his message as a singer.</p><p>More importantly, Paul also gives credit to The Voice for affording him the opportunity to be himself as an artist.</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;Blake Shelton really helped me find out exactly what I wanted to say. This show is so great for a guy like me because I&#8217;ve had to deal with so many different opinions and thoughts on what I should do and how I should sound and what I should wear. This was just 100 percent me. This was me saying this is what I want to do.</p><p>For so long I had folks telling me I should sing this type of song and I would go in to record it and I would hate the song. I would record certain songs and it would make me sick on so many levels. With this show, it gave me the platform to do exactly what I wanted and say exactly what I want to say to the world, my kids, and my wife. It really brought out the realness of this thing called artistry, called singing, and called The Voice.&#8221;</p></blockquote> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thedeadbolt.com/1003026387-beyond-the-voice-with-winner-jermaine-paul.html/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The Bachelorette Goes Let&#8217;s Make a Deal</title><link>http://www.thedeadbolt.com/1003026382-the-bachelorette-goes-lets-make-a-deal.html?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=the-bachelorette-goes-lets-make-a-deal</link> <comments>http://www.thedeadbolt.com/1003026382-the-bachelorette-goes-lets-make-a-deal.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 15 May 2012 19:23:22 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Alison Cox</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Reality]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Bachelor]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Bachelorette]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thedeadbolt.com/?p=6382</guid> <description><![CDATA[The Bachelorette made its Season 8 debut on Monday night with Emily Maynard back to find love all over again after leaving Brad Womack of The Bachelor.

Although Emily didn&#8217;t find love last season on The Bachelor with Brad Womack, Maynard returned to ABC this week to meet 25 guys in the hope of finding love as The Bachelorette.</p><p>Prior to the The Bachelorette, however, host Chris Harrison revealed that the show would be drastically different than previous season. Boy, was he right.</p><p>Call me crazy, but I don&#8217;t remember The Bachelorette being this foolish. Sure The Bachelorette has always been more reality fantasy than a reflection of real life, but last night&#8217;s premiere was just downright ridiculous. And if the show had any drop of credibility left in its tank, it evaporated before our very eyes on Monday night when Emily Maynard and Chris Harrison took on what appeared to be the roles of Monty Hall and Wayne Brady, the game show hosts of Let&#8217;s Make a Deal.</p><div id="attachment_6384" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6384" title="The Bachelorette on ABC" src="http://static.thedeadbolt.com/images/2012/05/the-bachelorette-1-300x163.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="163" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Photo: ABC</p></div><p>When the 25 guys arrived in Charlotte, North Carolina to meet Emily, The Bachelorette turned into a prime-time game show. I mean, one guy arrived with an ostrich egg, another guy dressed up as an old lady, another arrived on a skateboard, another with a glass slipper, and one guy even touched down in a helicopter. I&#8217;m shocked that Emily got through it with a straight face as the guys tried to leave a lasting first impression.</p><p>And if you&#8217;ve ever seen an episode of Let&#8217;s Make a Deal, last night&#8217;s Bachelorette should have looked familiar since the guys tried to increase their chances of being selected by dressing up and offering items for trade.</p><p>Since when did so many guys need props to be memorable? Then again, if you need a prop to make a romantic deal, maybe The Bachelorette really is the perfect place away from Let&#8217;s Make a Deal.</p><p>But &#8230;</p><p>Just when you thought The Bachelorette couldn&#8217;t be any more embarrassing after &#8220;egg guy,&#8221; &#8220;dress up guy,&#8221; &#8220;Cinderella guy,&#8221; and &#8220;helicopter guy,&#8221; (we&#8217;ll cut skateboarder guy a break), the game show hilarity continued.</p><div id="attachment_6385" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6385" title="The Bachelorette on ABC" src="http://static.thedeadbolt.com/images/2012/05/the-bachelorette-2-300x163.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="163" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Photo: ABC</p></div><p>Soon Emily got to meet &#8220;fitness guy,&#8221; &#8220;wolf guy,&#8221; &#8220;name tag guy,&#8221; &#8220;DJ guy,&#8221; &#8220;bobblehead guy,&#8221; &#8220;Latin guy #1,&#8221; and &#8220;Latin guy #2&#8243; before embracing &#8220;head injury guy,&#8221; &#8220;walk funny guy,&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m insecure guy,&#8221; &#8220;bad hair guy,&#8221; &#8220;I hate this suit guy,&#8221; &#8220;stiff hug guy,&#8221; &#8220;biochemist guy,&#8221; &#8220;guy with kid guy,&#8221; and &#8220;guy with six kids guy.&#8221; And just to make things really awkward, &#8220;race car guy&#8221; was thrown into the mix. Ouch! And to think that fans thought Brad Womack made for a bad season. Double ouch!</p><p>The problem with The Bachelorette is that when a guy walks onto the show with an ostrich egg and another dresses up like an old lady, it&#8217;s a game show. Actually, as much as it felt like Let&#8217;s Make a Deal, it&#8217;s also felt like The Gong Show. But that&#8217;s a separate comparison altogether since Emily gongs out the guys with roses at the end of the show.</p><p>So, now that the show is back for another season, do you want what&#8217;s behind The Bachelorette door #8, or what&#8217;s inside the ostrich egg?</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thedeadbolt.com/1003026382-the-bachelorette-goes-lets-make-a-deal.html/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>America&#8217;s Got Talent: Shanice and Maurice Sing &#8220;You&#8217;ve Got a Friend&#8221;</title><link>http://www.thedeadbolt.com/1003026379-americas-got-talent-shanice-and-maurice-sing-youve-got-a-friend.html?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=americas-got-talent-shanice-and-maurice-sing-youve-got-a-friend</link> <comments>http://www.thedeadbolt.com/1003026379-americas-got-talent-shanice-and-maurice-sing-youve-got-a-friend.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 15 May 2012 15:20:21 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Reg Seeton</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Reality]]></category> <category><![CDATA[America's Got Talent]]></category> <category><![CDATA[NBC]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thedeadbolt.com/?p=6379</guid> <description><![CDATA[For the premiere of America&#8217;s Got Talent, street performers Shanice and her father Maurice blew away the crowd with their duet on &#8220;You&#8217;ve Got a Friend.&#8221; America&#8217;s Got Talent made its Season 7 debut on Monday night with Howard Stern as a new judge alongside Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel. <a href="http://www.thedeadbolt.com/1003026379-americas-got-talent-shanice-and-maurice-sing-youve-got-a-friend.html">read more</a>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6380" title="Shanice and Maurice on America's Got Talent " src="http://static.thedeadbolt.com/images/2012/05/americas-got-talent-shanice-maurice-300x162.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="162" />For the premiere of America&#8217;s Got Talent, street performers Shanice and her father Maurice blew away the crowd with their duet on &#8220;You&#8217;ve Got a Friend.&#8221;</p><p>America&#8217;s Got Talent made its Season 7 debut on Monday night with Howard Stern as a new judge alongside Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel. During the audition process, the America&#8217;s Got Talent judges and live crowd were blown away by the final performance of the show when street performers Shanice and Maurice hit the AGT stage to sing &#8220;You&#8217;ve Got a Friend.&#8221;</p><p>Shanice, along with her father Maurice, gave it her all on America&#8217;s Got Talent to make her dream come true of singing in front of a live audience.
