Keith Urban say that she sounded like she'd "swallowed Janis Joplin" and Joel Madden to describe her voice as being "from outer space".
Dynamite
Karise Eden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gotta give you time just to say goodbye
To let go, let it go
You're dancing with her but we're eye to eye
Why can't I be on the other side
But I know, my day will come
So can you tell me why
If the fuse is lit
Why you wanna make home of me
What's it gonna take, take, take
I don't wanna wait, wait, wait
Just explode into my life like dynamite
What's it gonna take, take, take
I don't wanna wait, wait, wait
Just explode into my life like dynamite
Like dynamite
It's all the distray
Really how you feel
Am I just another heart you can steal
If a soul is not enough
So can you tell me why
If the fuse is lit
And the sparks are lighted
Why you wanna make home of me
What's it gonna take, take, take
I don't wanna wait, wait, wait
Just explode into my life like dynamite
What's it gonna take, take, take
I don't wanna wait, wait, wait
Just explode into my life like dynamite
Like dynamite
I'm alone, as like you
For all this time
If I'm no good
Why am I falling anymore
I'm not gonna be a fool no more
What's it gonna take, take, take
I don't wanna wait, wait, wait
Just explode into my life like dynamite
What's it gonna take, take, take
I don't wanna wait, wait, wait
Just explode into my life like dynamite

She's the Queen! This type of music doesn't do her justice - too mainstream for this unique voice!

ewa henner
She is extraordinary - moves me more than any other singer around today ! Gutsy, heart-ripping,vulnerable yet so powerful - she roars from her vulnerability ! So uplifting and heart-opening! Oh I hope she is well so that she can come back to be seen and heard again.

KArise, if you want an advice, get a new producer, NOW! your voice is way more powerful than this kind of commercial bullshit that they are making you do. Dont let yourself go deep into this way. The only thing you need is a good songwriter and a guitar. Nothing more.

+rbs3d I just heard the original audition and this is shite, the original is dynamite!! Having said that, this is good, but if I hear great first then good is useless to my expectation and I switch off!!

I am agree with you. Her voice and style is not for sing this sh***. We already have a lot of this kind of "music". She is soul. Please someone rescue her.
Ian Makus
She has a natural Blues voice. That's where she stands head and shoulders above!
Fiddler on the Roof
Late to the party but I absolutely agree - they turned a really great voice to comply with todays commercial autotuned bullshit. Loved her first performance on the blind auditions and she should have stood true to herself. Absolutely stunning performance as blind audition on the Voice.

Isso sim é cantar. Mereceu ter ganhado o The Voice.
