Taylor Brashears, "Long Time Gone": Taylor Brashears has long been one of the stars on Team Blake, let alone one of the biggest, best singers on season seven of The Voice, so why was her performance so flat? Taylor opened up the live rounds of The Voice, so perhaps we can chalk this one up to nerves - but her signature sass and personality really felt lacking on this Dixie Chicks classic.
Blend her total nose sound with her hand movements, and Mia was less like any pop diva and more like Jenny Slate's Mona Lisa from Parks and Recreation. Instead, the lack of ability for Mia to pull back her nasal tone of her volume was demonstrated loud and clear. For the final female on Team Adam, it would have been easy to give her, like, another Christina Aguilera song and let her shine. The question was: could she turn it down for a Lana Del Rey song? The answer was. Mia Pfirrman, "Young and Beautiful": For a lot of singers, belting out a diva anthem would be a true struggle - but for Mia Pfirrman, the issue is the exact opposite. The nice thing about The Voice is the show can depict how much a singer grows, and it's nice to see Jessie come into her own. Instead of the ethereal, EDM-fueled Goulding thing, Jessie felt more like a breathy artist with her own signature sound and her own way of moving about the stage and commanding the stage. However, this performance of Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero" helped to bring out the deeper artistry in Jessie's vocals and performance capabilities. Jessie Pitts, "Holding Out for a Hero": Previously, Jessie Pitts felt a bit like an Ellie Goulding rip off, and it didn't help that she performed one of Goulding's signature spacey hits in the Battle Rounds. The Voice just loves him too much and we all just love is voice. Taylor is such a natural singer and performer, that he's a sure thing for the top 12, barring some crazy turn of events.

Like his knockout rounds performance, Taylor's song choice wasn't the best to show off his full range, but he was able to show off that he could pull off the cool, indie leaning pop rock star out there, thanks to this Clean Bandit cut. Taylor Phelan, "Cool Kids": The Voice seems really easy for Taylor Phelan, who hasn't necessarily grown throughout the competition - but that's because he started so strong already. The crowd went wild and the votes for this guy should follow. Much like Sam Smith, Damien was about to pull out a wide range of emotions and love in "I'm Not The Only One," and his passion just pulled you in. As Pharrell pointed out, Damien moved between his head voice and his chest voice with no notice, pulling off beautiful ranges and gospel-inspired runs like it was nothing. Starting off with a guitar in her hand and on top of a stool, Reagan eventually turned this song into a truly emotional, emotive performance and one of the best of the night.ĭamien, "I'm Not The Only One": It's both so easy and so difficult to tackle a Sam Smith song, and it really felt like only Damien was the one who could've done it tonight, and he tackled "I'm Not The Only One" with ease. With that vocal blend and personality, Colbie Callait's "Try" was a perfect fit, and Reagan gave a fittingly subdued performance. There's a cool sense of confidence to this girl, who can blend the very different world of R&B and indie rock so seamlessly. Reagan James, "Try": Reagan James is one of the more impressive contestants on this season of The Voice, even if it weren't for her shocking young age (she's 15, by the way). That being given, let's take a look at the best, worst and purely mediocre performances from the first of The Voice's live shows: Some gigs were simply forgettable but luckily for The Voice's credibility, nobody was straight up bad. 10), Adam Levine and Blake Shelton's teams took the stage in hopes to make the coveted top 12.Īfter a performance of " Animals" from Levine's Maroon 5, the show opened with a so-so performance from Taylor Brashears and everything was more or less uphill from here.
We've been through blind auditions, battle rounds and the knockouts, and here it is. If there's one good thing to be said about the format of The Voice, it's that it changes pace incredibly frequently.
