Two-tone-haired beauty Melanie Martinez first captured hearts on Season 5 of the hit singing talent show The Voice with her breathy, provocative vocals covering Britney Spears and The White Stripes and charting on the Top 5 songs on iTunes twice. Not bad for the 18-year-old from Long Island; now that she's burst onto the scene, the eccentric pixie has been following up her musical legacy by writing her own songs and going on tour with her first album. Audiences, by now, are definitely addicted, so here's to looking forward to Martinez's next step. Performing tonight at the Constellation Room.
