Whether or not Tessanne Chin wins Season 5 of "The Voice" on Tuesday night, she has clearly won the affections of the Sexiest Man Alive, her coach Adam Levine.
"I am so blown away by what you do," Levine told Chin after she had delivered a killer rendition of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" on the season's final performance show Monday. "I know, in my mind and my heart, that you are the winner of this show."
Chin, whose voice has never once wavered off pitch nor whose onstage charisma failed to glimmer through this season, may well deserve to emerge victorious. On Monday, when the three finalists each performed three songs — a reprise of his or her blind audition song, a coach duet, and a final song chosen to prove Season 5 crown-wearing worthiness — Chin was once again right on point, and Levine was rapturous.
"Everything you do just draws me in," he told the lush-voiced Jamaican singer after she'd performed the song that made him turn his chair for her lo those many months ago, "Try" by Pink. "Your ability is so extraordinary that I really just revel in it all the time." What's more, Levine added, Chin was "one of the most genuine, loving caring people I've ever met."
