Now there is a tactic that we haven’t seen a coach use before. How The voiceThe 20th Season of Blind Hearings came close to its conclusion on Monday night, Blake Shelton jokingly, he suggested to a competitor who auditioned with a Maroon 5 song that he shouldn’t join Team Kelly Clarkson because … well, look where she is. “I’m not saying that [she] caught Adam [Levine] fired, “he smiled, but”he is is gone, and she is sitting there. ”Did the sassy strategy work? Read on and find out as we review the performances of the last four singers to advance to the Battles.
Denisha Dalton (Team Legend), “Pillowtalk” – Note: B- | This self-proclaimed prostitute told us in her pre-interview that she formed not one, but two girl groups as a child, and then lost confidence after moving to Nashville. So she hoped that a turn of the chair “would rekindle Little Denisha.” But even before the chairs started to turn, she seemed to be on fire. In the private parts of her Zayn cover, the way she played the notes and put a touch of tear in her voice really made you lean over. Unfortunately, those pieces were so good that she sounded less impressive when singing. The bigger the song got, the more messy your performance became.
Awari (Team Nick), “Weak” – Note: B | A divorced father of two, this former Air Force boom operator hoped, with his test, to show his children that “Daddy is determined”. And that, he had to have. On his SWV cover, he poured notes that were as sweet as syrup being drizzled over a stack of pancakes and showed an eyebrow-raising reach. I suspected that we were hearing a little lack of training from time to time, but Kelly suggested that in his runs, “he wasn’t trying too hard, he was just too emotional”. So maybe that was it; he was going for feeling instead of precision.
Keegan Ferrell (Team Blake), “She will be loved” – Note: B + | Initially presented as a truly blind audition, this 21-year-old, who was adopted after being left in a market alley in China, filled the room with smoke – only with his insinuating voice. Keegan seemed to struggle a little to achieve the high notes that Adam Levine achieves in the classic Maroon 5, but he definitely has something. Hilariously, when launching Keegan, Blake suggested that Kelly had fired Adam. In fact, since she also had a talk show on the network, NBC really meant “Nothing But Clarkson”, Blake countered. Even funnier, his tactic worked!
Ainae (Team Kelly), “Melhor Parte” – Note: A- | In her segment to meet you, this 21-year-old shared that she was born into a musical family – Mom works in marketing, Dad is an audio engineer, Grandma directs Twins Jazz. And she certainly made them proud. As she sang, I half expected to see light, fluffy clouds coming out of her mouth. His vocals were as light as a ray of sunshine. Once or twice, she may have switched to tar, but overall, impressive. John even compared her voice to Minnie Riperton’s.
