Mechelina is the one who delivers the line “Something’s Got a Hold on Me.” Presented in an Engaging Manner When Played
There is no correlation between age and skill, particularly when it comes to musical ability. Performers who are sixty years old or older have the opportunity to compete on The Voice Senior among others who are the same age as them. This, at long last, draws attention to the incredible quality of their voices.

In addition to having the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities and perform in front of an audience of people from all over the world, contestants on Singing Seniors also have the chance to receive personalized vocal instruction from celebrity judges as they progress through the show and compete with one another for the title of winner.

On “The Voice Senior,” we have seen some strong contestants who have put a great number of professionals to disgrace. And unlike many younger singers, these older ones don’t employ “auto-tune” to “correct” their voices when they’re not very good. This is in contrast to many younger artists. The vocal talent that you hear on “The Voice Senior” is unadulterated and unadulteratedly straightforward.

Mechelina, who is 63 years old, is not an exception. When Mechelina went onto the platform of ‘The Voice,’ the majority of younger people would have assumed that she was only a “average” grandma or great-grandmother. She is a grandma and a great-grandmother, but in addition to that, she has a strength that is common among grandmothers: a strong voice.

In the footage that can be seen below, Mechelina is seen standing on stage before the music begins. It’s possible that she is apprehensive, but then again, who wouldn’t be? She takes a few long breaths, shuts her eyes, and then begins to sing a well-known song by Etta James. The audience and the judges are immediately captivated by her performance.

The song “Something’s Got a Hold on Me” has been covered and sampled by a great number of contemporary musicians, but never in this manner. Rich and dazzling, Mechelina’s voice caresses the words with an old-school sound reminiscent of the sixties, which wraps around the audience and leads them on a spiritual journey:

“Let me tell you now that I have never felt like this before. “Something has me by the neck and won’t let go…” “Let me tell you now that I have never felt like this before.”
“Something’s Got a Hold on Me” is a song that was written by Etta James, Leroy Kirkland, and Pearl Woods. It also has elements of blues and gospel music. In the past, James has been quoted as saying, “That song was composed by us, and it was based on a gospel hymn.” It must have been the Lord since the gospel hymn was titled “Something’s Got a Hold on Me.” The song was an instant success, climbing all the way to the top of the Hot R&B Sides list, where it peaked at number four. Additionally, the record was able to register on the Billboard Hot 100 at position number 37.

Therefore, when Mechelina stood on the stage of “The Voice” Senior, she had a lot of expectations to live up to. This was especially true considering that her song choice, along with the fact that people were familiar with Etta Jame’s gospel and blues voice, made it simple for people to compare her to Etta. We believe Mechelina did a terrific job, and we hope that she will return to the competition in the near future to give it another go even if the judges don’t share our opinion. We have a strong desire to hear more of her stunning voice.
