The journey for Rita Laranjeira on The Voice Portugal 2020 has unfortunately ended at ‘the battles’ stage. But she went with an amazing fight and showed a lot of dignity and class with her performance.

In the ‘Batalhas’ (Battles) phase of The Voice Portugal, Rita, was up against the duo, Miguel & João. Rita gave a charming performance of the Labrinth song, Jealous. The gentle ballad was performed very elegantly with Rita’s clear vocals. The male duo of  Miguel & João sang Luar do Sertão (Hinterlands Moonlight), which is a popular Brazilian song.

After a difficult choice, the mentor, Aurea, decided to put Miguel & João through to the next round.

Rita, who is only 15 years old, can be proud of her performances on The Voice Portugal. Although the journey may have ended, this is only the beginning. Rita has the capability of going far in the music business, not just in Portugal, but internationally.

Rita represented Portugal at the 2018 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with Gosto de Tudo (Já Não Gosto de Nada).

Efi Gjika returns with her brand new uplifting song entitled Take My Hand. It is a contemporary and anthemic pop track that showcases Efi’s increasingly mature and clear vocal talent.

Take My Hand is composed by Devox @VOX Production and Jenny Jonnas.

Efi says there is a strong youth message in the lyrics of Take Your Hand – “This is a strong message that comes from deep within my heart and I hope all of my supporters feel the same way. Bullying is an issue that is spread all around the globe. At some point in our life, we have all been affected by it. It breaks my heart that there are people who would intentionally cause discomfort to other people. It breaks my heart that people become bystanders, out of fear of becoming the victim of bullying.. I am using my voice for all the kids, teenagers, people who can’t speak up. When you feel like no one understands and no one is there for you, I will be there for you. And when you feel like there is no hope for tomorrow and things are never going to change, know that everything will be okay”.

Efi represented Albania at the 2018 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with Barbie and she has since gone on to release several hit songs and music videos such as Stand Up, Happy Birthday, Summer Days and Cool Kids. She has also recorded cool cover versions of Someone You Loved (Lewis Capaldi) and Salt (Ava Max).

You can hear Take My Hand below. The track is available to stream via digital platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, etc.

Daneliya Tuleshova and Ava max

Daneliya Tuleshova once again pulled out all the stops with a visually stunning performance of  “Alive” by Sia in the first show of the final of America’s Got Talent.

State of the art visual effects transformed the AGT stage into an immersive forest environment for Daneliya’s final vote performance.

During the final results show, Daneliya returned to the stage performing a duet with Ava Max ‘Kings and Queens’

Daneliya’s night was to end in disappointment however as voting revealed she had not gained enough votes to finish in the top 5.

Despite this, Daneliya will have gained a large number of fans from her exposure on one of the world’s biggest TV shows and no doubt, has a very promising career ahead of her.
