That's the best he's heard all night! (referencing a comment Svyatoslav made, but that comment was cut out)<br />Femal Judge #1 (Tamara): You've given so much tonight with your performance, to The Voice, and to each of us, because you cultivate this music inside of you, and so your voice is truly from deep inside. And these sounds fly out and transform into this completely pure, pure stream, that only music can create. Thank you very much!<br />Femal Judge #2 (Karolina): What a soul, …..., we felt it. Thank you for that. Thank you for your heart. Thank you for your Ukrainian soul. Thank you to your family. Please give them greetings and we are glad to have you on our show.<br />Bria: Thank you very much!<br />Serhiy: Now, the time has come for you to choose between two mentors.<br />Svyatoslav: Serhiy, Serhiy. There is no choice here.<br />Serhiy: There is a choice! There is always a choice! If you want to experiment musically, in language, I'm open to experimenting. Choose me. Choose.Me. I'm here! Come to me quickly!<br />Bria: Honestly, I must say, I'm a little disappointed that two of you turned around, because I hoped only one would turn around so that I wouldn't have to choose and it would be easier.<br />(Crowd chanting for Svyatoslav)<br />Bria: I want to thank all four of you for your kind words. I am very thankful. I'm sorry.....but I'm from Lviv, I really love my city, so I must go with Svyatoslav.<br />Svyatoslav: Well done. Thank you. I think we will work well together. You did great. You sang beautifully and picked the right song. Great song choice!<br />Karolina: Well, congratulations. It couldn't have turned out any differently.<br />Serhiy: Yes, it was obvious. I could try, but...<br />Karolina: There was no other choice.<br />Svyatoslav: That's what the competition is for, for you to try.<br />Serhiy: We're all here trying something.<br />Svyatoslav: He who doesn't try doesn't get champagne (this is a Russian saying), right?<br />Serhiy: Where's the champagne???<br />Olya: Thank you for Kvitka Cisyk (famous performer of the song). Thank you for Ivasyuk (author of the song). Thank you for Svyatoslav. Thank you for making those men fight for you. It was fun to watch! Well done!<br />Bria: They waited until the last second! I thought, “Well, ok, now I'm just singing for the nation.” I sang for the nation and bam....<br />Svyatoslav: She had me at the first notes. I didn't push the button sooner, simply because I was listening to the song.<br />Ministry Happens in Ukrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03577335058533614463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361007276123190670.post-13518680945980092002014-11-24T16:02:31.657-06:002014-11-24T16:02:31.657-06:00(during performance)

Come on Svyatoslav (male judge #2)!<br />Krista: They're playing with our nerves on purpose.<br />Dad (Mark): Are they deaf?<br />Olya: They are deaf.<br />Olya: Come on! Push the button. Please, please, please, push it!<br />(after performance)<br />Male Judge #2 (Svyatoslav): Good evening. Where are you from?<br />Bria: Good evening. <br />Svyatoslav: Oh. I can already hear that you aren't from Ukraine.<br />Bria: You can already tell?<br />Svyatoslav: I could hear it right away.<br />Bria: Oh my. I thought I didn't have an accent anymore! I'm actually an American, but I say that I'm from Lviv.<br />Svyatoslav: I don't know who you'll choose, but I have nothing to teach you. I would just be happy to work with you and do something good for you.<br />Bria: Thank you very much.<br />Serhiy: How long have you lived in Ukraine?<br />Bria: More than 15 years already.<br />Serhiy: 15 years? So basically, you're a Ukrainian!<br />Bria: I'm a Ukrainian!<br />Serhiy: Wonderful. I can say that I was impressed with your voice. I understood the depth, I understood that this isn't all you are capable of, you can do more...<br />Unkown interuption: Don't lure her.<br />Serhiy: Luring? I'm not luring, I'm just calling her to me. I will try to get you to remember your place of birth. I would love to have a person on my team who can truly sing well in English, with good pronunciation and who has such a beautiful voice.<br />Svyatoslav: You know, many people sing English beautifully; but few sing Ukrainian like you do.Ministry Happens in Ukrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03577335058533614463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361007276123190670.post-35871965969052657072014-11-24T16:01:24.354-06:002014-11-24T16:01:24.354-06:00Part 1 of the translation from Bria's sister:
...Part 1 of the translation from Bria's sister:<br />Narrator: The first to test fate is this charming young woman.<br />Mom (Rhonda): My name is Rhonda, and I'm a little nervous.<br />Host (Olya): With such a dress, I know Bria must be the one singing.<br />Bria: Yes, I will be singing.<br />-Hi, Ukraine. My name is Bria Blessing.<br />Olya: You have such a nice accent. But, why do you have an accent?<br />Bria: I'm an American. I was born there, but have lived in Ukraine for more than fifteen years.<br />-I moved never having heard of Ukraine, I didn't know where it was. My parents said, “Oh we'll go for a year or two,” but we all just fell in love with Ukraine. <br />Friend (Tolik): She's a person who, if you are near her, you are immediately in an atmosphere of joy and laughter.<br />Friend (Ira): How can you not love Bria? She's impossible to not love.<br />Friend (Dima): She gave me my first guitar pick and was always an inspiration in music for me.<br />Bria: I don't even remember when I began singing and performing on stage. It's just natural for me.<br />Mom: Probably age 3. She started very young at the house. We used to have this old stereo system with big headphones.<br />Bria: I always feel comfortable on stage and fellowshiping with people through singing.<br />-Through the Ukrainian song I'll be singing, through this dress, I want Ukrainians who don't understand what they have, to truly see how beautiful and wonderful this country is. Today, that's all I want.Ministry Happens in Ukrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03577335058533614463noreply@blogger.com
