The thing about the blinds is that you have to sometimes sit through the fluff in order to get to the good part. I was hoping to see this season nothing but the best to make it more exciting , but I guess you have to have some that are less seasoned in order to have a show. Can you imagine if each judge chose teams of real seasoned vocalists, it would be so amazing. Anyway, so Monday and Tuesday were the last days of the blind auditions before they get to my favorite part the Battle Rounds .
But first lets see who got the remainder spots:
I was late so I came in at the end and saw that Kat Perkins was chosen for Team Adam.
What I did see:
Paula Deanda tried her luck again to be a pop singer. She had already experienced the joy of a record contract. She has heard her songs on the radio.She sunged I love the way by Ariana Grande, got two chairs and chose Team Blake. Her saving grace was the high notes she hit but the overall performance I was not impressed. Verdict: Just because you had a record contract does not mean you can sing. Won’t make it past battle rounds.
Jake Baker had really bad stage fright and had never performed live at all. For this being his first time, I was impressed with his song choice of when I was your man by Bruno Mars. He is a soulful singer and he should do well on Team Usher. Verdict : If he pays attention and focus he could be in the top twelve.
Ria Eaton came out with her choice of Cups by Anna Kendricks. I loved her voice , she has range and her performance was good. Verdict: She is going to have to work for the battle rounds.
Cierra Mickens was one of my favorite because she sung one of the coolest songs Crazy by Gnarls Barkley. She received a two turn but chose Team Shakira. I really hope that she choses the right songs because Verdict: I know she can make top twelve easy but top 5 will be a challenge. I am going to have to see how she does during battle rounds to get me off the fence.
Alaska and Madi came from the same background as Blake early on in his career, actually winning the same competition that he did. Recently dealing with the challenge of staying as a group, The Voice was the deciding factor. Choosing the song Barton Hollow, although I was not familiar, their harmonies were amazing. I think they could sing separately if the chose. Verdict: I think they will make top five.
Ddendyl was a disappointment to me because her back story told of this magnificent range she had but her song choice showed none. She chose a jazzy version of Stand by Me which Team Shakira did not have to battle for because she was the only judge to turn. Verdict: She better show the range if she wants to make it through the battle rounds
Josh Kaufman wowed the judges with a George Michael’s classic, One More Try. I loved it. He got a four chair turn and Team Adam scooped him up. Verdict: Definite top twelve, possible five.
Kaleigh Glanton came out swinging with Have You Seen the Rain, got a four chair turn. I don’t think it was a four chair worthy performance. I think they were impressed by song choice. Verdict: May not make through battle rounds.
Britnee Camelle sung Demi Lovato’s Skyscraper which is a great song. She had the look and the range. Team Usher got her. Verdict: Easy top twelve, possibleTop 5
Lyndsay Bruce sung If He Breaks Your Heart. She was ok. She will definitely need some coaching. Team Shakira got her but she belongs on Team Blake. Verdict: I don’t think she is strong enough to win battle rounds.
So all the teams are full and the battle begins Here are my Top Twelve predictions.
Top Twelve: In No Particular Order:
1. Emily B
2. Dani Moz
3. Delvin Choice
4. Clarissa Serna
5. Sisaundra Lewis
6. Christina Grimmie
7. Brittnee Camelle
8.Joshua Howard
9. Cierra Mickens
10. Josh Kauffman
11.Alaska and Madi
