Excerpt Of The Voice Melissa
Disclaimer: I don't own “The Voice” whatsoever which belongs to NBC America and John De Mol productions though I do own Melissa Hale from Charmed
who is Piper Halliwell’s future daughter and my original fan fiction character.
Authors Notes: This Is an excerpt from “The Voice” showcasing a what if scenario of one of Mel’s performances from the season one show if she ever
appeared on that which I set two years earlier than it originally came out in coinciding when “The Charmed Ones” were magic free after “The
Ultimate Battle”. This’s not related to any of the performance’s which happened on their but done just for my amusement centred round, the live
shows.
The title card and guitar strum sounded out as the reality tv show “The Voice USA” came back onscreen after its annual advertisement break with host Carson Daly on stage talking.
“Welcome back ladies and gentlemen." "Now it’s the turn of Melissa Hale from San Francisco California and her mentor and coach Adam Levine.”
A bell rang out as the five foot six inch emerald-green eyed and auburn red-haired Melissa Hale emerged smiling against a red background with her five foot eleven inch brown hair hazel eye coloured coach Adam standing opposite against her split with a black line going down the middle.
The scene changed to one of the shows photo style looking rehearsal studio’s which had a “Team Adam” placard situated on the far back-end wall in the middle of the room. A black, grand piano placed on the left hand side yellow stars littered all around and the two people sitting down on the brown wooden step leading up to the top part of the floor talking.
“Okay so the competitions really heating up now Melissa,” Adam spoke to her which she nodded replying “Yep,” “& everyone’s out there trying to beat the other one, and score votes from the members of the public which we want to get lots of,” The man continued spouting.
“Of course,” Mel waggled again stating.
“’Cause I don't just think you're a one trick pony you know." "You’re here to stay." "Not just because you're the first real over thirty five women on here who looks, sings and plays like she’s in her twenties but the fact your multi-talented also which the public like and we want to grab." "So I was thinking since you did “Mr Rock & Roll” by Amy Macdonald last week on guitar we should strip you back right down to basics this
week and just have you on stage by yourself playing piano singing a sultry ballad with nothing else added making it sound like you're in a recording studio writing a song so everyone out there knows the real Melissa Hale and ,that a thirty nine year-old woman can do well out there in the music industry just as younger people do.”
“Absolutely,” The woman giggled opposite saying.
“So if you're up for that then we can get started okay,” Adam commented.
“I'm totally up for that yeah,” Mel replied “Bring it on.”
“Yay! That’s my lady,” The Maroon 5 frontman smiled happily high fiving Melissa who done that back also before shifting to Adam sitting on his own saying.
“I want America to see that a person doesn't have to be eighteen years old to have a good voice, and sing because it doesn't matter whether you’re thirty five or over if you have a dream you should definitely go for it.”
Mel sits by the piano with Adam & his advisor Amy Lee from Evanescence later on standing next door adjacent.
“Okay so what song have you picked to sing this week Melissa?” The woman asked.
“Well I was thinking of doing Bette Midler’s “The Rose” maybe.”
“Good choice,” Amy uttered back.
“If Adam thinks that’s alright of course,” The long auburn haired woman proclaimed.
“Oh yeah absolutely,” The man smiled. “See that’s what I love about this girl you know she knows exactly what songs suit her best and what ones don’t putting her own spin on them making them totally different from the original.”
“And if she pulls it off the way you suggest,” The brown-haired woman added. “Then she could very well become a frontrunner in this competition,”
“Oh no mistakes their yep,” Adam finalized saying. “So”
Mel sang a little loudly whilst thumbing the proper keys on the piano so as Adam & Amy listened, on.
She stopped abruptly when she knew she was going wrong and surmised. “Hmm I was a little too loud there.”
“Just a tad yeah,” Amy surmised. “You want to tone it down slightly you know so you really get the song across to the audience and people watching on TV.”
“Exactly yes just do what you normally do singing ballads.” The five foot eleven inch man opposite remarked. “Which we know you can, sing.”
“Yeah,” Mel smiled admitting.
“So let’s go over that again and.”
Few days later Adam listened on smiling and nodding his head as Mel finished up, performing rightly on “The Voice” main stage in front of him. He
whooped and cheered at her afterwards bating “Now that’s what I'm talking about yeah.”
Coming of stage Mel went over where Adam bode. “That was great Melissa." "Let’s hope you recreate it Monday evening.”
“I hope the public enjoy my performance and see the real Melissa Hale underneath and vote for me ‘cause I love been in this competition and don’t want to leave it to end yet,” The woman spoke on stage sitting down whilst filming played out next.
“If Mel pulls of what she just did Monday evening,” Adam exclaimed “Then she'll blow everyone else outta the water.”
The red background which introduced the two people earlier on appeared with just Melissa inside that before cutting back to “The Voice” main stage where the 39-year-old female curly tied up side done hair and black satin lace body three quarter sleeve knee-length dress sat down behind a Yamaha grand piano as the audience and judges looked on whilst the first cords of the familiar song started up as Melissa sung softly into the on board attached microphone.
Some say love, it is a river. That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor. That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger an endless aching need.
I say love it is a flower and you its only seed.
The music had an effect on the crowd and four judges who looked on transfixed as Mel went through the bridge section before sounding the last part
out higher.
When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long.
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong.
Just remember in the winter. Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies, the seed that with the sun's love. In the spring becomes the rose.
Finishing the’ last few cords of she turned round to a standing ovation from the crowd and judges including Mel’s immediate family clapping and cheering at her performance then.
Carson came out from the side lines and pointed his left hand at Melissa who walked up to the man whilst he spoke into his microphone gesturing. “Wow look, at that Melissa a standing ovation from the crowd and judges.”
“I know yeah I can’t believe it. Thank you all so much,” The woman replied attentively.
“Well you had us going there Melissa which’s why that happened,” Carson remarked. “So let’s go over to the judging panel and see what they made of that performance." "Blake?”
The country western singer seated in his chair looked on trying to call up what to say but could only come out with. “Wow. I'm”
“Speechless?” The show host finished what he was going to say.
“Totally yeah,” Blake nodded “I mean there’s not much I can say other than that was amazing you know." "It blew me away just blew me away.”
The crowd behind cheered at his response prompting Carson to, ask Cee-Lo Green for his opinion next.
“I agree with what Blake just said you know it was amazing." "Great performance Melissa you’re best yet and the best of the evening if not the series." "Good song choice Adam.”
He looked down spying on him next to Christina Aquilera.
“That was hers actually,” The man smarted, smiling back.
“Well it was an excellent one I mean striping you back right down to the very basic genius idea." "We all heard the real Melissa Hale on her, own no background music distracting.”
The crowd applaud again as Christina butted in commenting. “Absolutely I mean when I first heard “Bette Midler’s” version I thought wow that was astounding you know timeless classic but what you just did totally blast that out into the twenty first century.”
Mel’s family raged out sportively making the judges turn round seeing who did that.
“And not only made it cool to like older women but the fact I'm now afraid because that, performance has certainly put you out as a frontrunner in this competition.”
Everyone behind her roared a third time as Adam’s student said. “Thank you Christina” to the female, judge.
“Oh and whoever styled you up this evening,” The diva said lastly. “Great, job by the way. You look stunning.”
Melissa thanked her again as Carson pitched in. “Okay then let’s go to Mel’s mentor and coach Adam Levine and see what he made of that performance?”
“Amazing as usual you know.” The man spoke. “I mean I get goose bumps every week watching this woman sing ‘cause Mel can do anything you throw at her as she’s so versatile a true musician at heart which’s what “The Voice’s” all about plus writes her own songs at thirty nine which I totally forget she is sometimes though as Mel looks, plays and sings like she’s in her twenties and I have no grumbles with her whatsoever." "I can’t fault Melissa one bit. She’s a joy to work with.”
The auburn haired woman smiled back at him warmly as Carson replied. “Okay next up then is Curtis Grimes and his mentor and coach Cee-Lo Green.”
The knockout bell rang out again as the brown-haired country western person and 5 times Grammy award-winning singer came up against the red background split down once more by the thin black line before clambering away to their rehearsal studio which sorter looked similar Adam Levine’s.
The End.
