Leif is a male given name of Scandinavian origin. It is derived from the Old Norse name Leifr (nominative case), meaning "heir", "descendant", "beloved", "lucky".
Across the Nordic countries, the most commonly occurring spelling of the name is Leif, however, there are some well-established regional variants:
In Norway, about 17,000 men have Leif as their first (or only) name. In Sweden, 70,000 men have the name Leif, about 60% of them as a first name. As of 2008, about 18,000 Danish men have Leif as their first name. In Finland, as of 2012, 4,628 men have Leif as a first name. In U.S, as of 2015, 6,415 men have Leif as a first name.
Although common in the Nordic countries, the name Leif has declined in use since the 1950s. Because of this, the name has become associated with an older generation throughout the region.
Because the Scandinavian languages differ in their pronunciation of the digraphs ⟨ei⟩ and ⟨ej⟩, the name Leif may be either pronounced approximately like the English word "life", or as an approximate rhyme for "safe". In Denmark, much of Norway, and the southern and western regions of the Faroe Islands the name is pronounced more like "life", while in Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Western Norway it is an approximate rhyme with "safe". The only exception to this pattern is in the northern and eastern regions of the Faroe Islands where it is an approximate rhyme with the English word "coif". In no region is the name pronounced like the most commonly heard English pronunciation, "leaf", as that would be a homophone of the unrelated female name Liv/Lif.
The Voice may refer to:
The Voice is a reality television singing competition franchise. It is based on the reality singing competition The Voice of Holland, which was originally created by Dutch television producer John de Mol. Many other countries have adapted the format and began airing their own versions since 2011. It has become a rival to the Idols franchise and The X Factor.
John de Mol, creator of Big Brother, first created The Voice concept with Dutch singer Roel van Velzen. The show distinguishes itself as different from The X Factor and Idols as The Voice primarily focuses on singing ability and prowess of an artist alone.
On September 17, 2010, The Voice of Holland began to air on RTL 4 with Angela Groothuizen, Roel van Velzen, Nick & Simon, and Jeroen van der Boom as the mentor-judges (dubbed as "coaches") of the show. The show proved to be an instant success in the Netherlands.
The format was later sold to different countries.
Contestants are aspiring singers drawn from public auditions. The show's format features four stages of competition. The first is the blind auditions, in which the four coaches, all noteworthy recording artists, listen to the contestants in chairs facing away from the stage so as to avoid seeing them. If a coach likes what they hear from that contestant, they press a button to rotate their chairs to signify that they are interested in working with that contestant. If more than one coach presses their button, the contestant chooses the coach he or she wants to work with. The blind auditions end when each coach has a set number of contestants to work with. Coaches will dedicate themselves to developing their singers mentally, musically and in some cases physically, giving them advice, and sharing the secrets of their success.
The first season of the Australian reality talent show The Voice Kids began on 22 June 2014 on Nine Network. The show was hosted by Darren McMullen and The Voice season 1 quarter-finalist Prinnie Stevens served as the backstage correspondent. The winner received a music and education scholarship worth $50,000 and a record deal with Universal Music. Former Spice Girls member Mel B, Delta Goodrem, The Madden Brothers were the coaches.
Each team of singers were mentored and developed by their coach. In the second stage, coaches had three of their team members battle against each other by singing the same song, with the coach choosing which one team member to advance. The third stage featured the remaining five artists from each team competing against each other in the Sing-offs, with the coach eliminating three artists from their team to form the team's final two. The remaining six artists then competed against each other in the Grand Finale, which the television audience helps to decide the winner of the The Voice Kids.

Verse 1:
A thought in my head, I think
Of something to do
Expressions tell everything
I see one on you
Chorus:
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, my love she comes in colors
You can tell her from the clothes she wears
Verse 2:
When I was invisible
I needed no light
You saw right through me, you said
Was I out of sight?
[repeat chorus]
[repeat chorus]
[repeat chorus]
Verse 3:
When I was in England town
The rain fell right down
I looked for you everywhere
'Til I'm not around
[repeat chorus]
