A YEAR ago she was living in a women's refuge. Today she is the toast of the nation as the inaugural winner of The Voice.
And with $100,000 cash in her bank account Karise Eden can finally put down a deposit on a home of her own; with a new car in the driveway and a recording contract in the mailbox.
The 19-year-old from the NSW central coast who was mentored by English singer Seal, erupted into squeals of joy when the announcement was made last night.
Earlier they performed Many Rivers To Cross as a duet which drew the audience and the other judges to their feet. The lyrics were particularly touching for Eden who has credited not only The Voice but Seal whom she calls "the perfect coach'' with returning her self-esteem.
"Many rivers to cross,'' she sang. "And it's only my will that keeps me alive. I've been licked, washed up for years; And I merely survive because of my pride.''
It brought Seal to his knees as he held her hand and sang; a rare smile beaming down on him from Eden.
As a ward of the state Eden, in her short life, has lived in 20 refuges. Her interest in singing was sparked by a foster family who owned a music store. They introduced her to musical styles from the likes of Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse and Bon Jovi. Amazingly, her first singing lesson was when she sat down in a studio with Seal only a matter of weeks ago.
While i am happy she won , im not sure if she is commerical enough.. I do think we may see more (Long term) of sarah! She had a perfect pop presents
She always topped iTunes right after every show she sang.. Peopleactually love her music and buy them not just because she has an amazing voice..
I think if she gets to do some right material she will have an enormous future.. not only in AUs.. She wouls be a lot more potential if she writes her songs tho
And for Sarah.. I think we have enough around.. She is not that special .. She is not even that amazingly pretty.. I think we need a Karise more imo tho
I have posted a thread about her before but no one really cared.. and now she really wins this <3 She is really an 'Amy+Adele'...
