The Voice, blind auditions week 2

Cafe Society

Continuing from this thread about week 1.

Kelsie May: “You’re Looking at Country” - 3 turns. She was really good, but needs a tad bit of work.
Kimberly Nichole: “Nutbush City Limits” - 2 turns. I think that she should have started out stronger and I’m surprised that she went with Parrell.
Michael Leier: “Last Kiss” - 2 turns. I think his nerves got the better of him, but I still thought he did pretty good.
Hannah Ellis “This One’s For The Girls” 0 turns. I liked her and was surprised that no-one turned.
Travis Ewing: “Say My Name” - 3 turns. Not crazy about his style, but I like his voice.
Montage: Noelle Bybee, “Unbelievers,” Bren’nae DeBarge, “Golden,” and James McNeiece, “Lay Me Down” - I wanted to see the whole performances, darn it.
Sonic: “Money on My Mind” - 2 turns. I’m confused, is she a hedgehog or a fast food restaurant? Anyway, good voice, but that high and low style was a little too weird for my tastes.
Ella Khorov: “I Can’t stand the rain” - 0 turns. I was shocked. I loved her gravely voice.
Jacob Rummell: “Count on Me” - 2 turns. I didn’t think that he had a strong performance myself.
Barry Minniefield: “Me and Mrs. Jones” - 1 turn. I loved it and I’m so glad that Adam turned. The only reason I can think of why the other coaches didn’t turn (Christina’s excuse not withstanding) is that maybe he sounded too lounge-y?
Montage: Nicolette Maré, “Everything Has Changed,” Clinton Washington, “Candle in the Wind,” and Matt Snook, “Red Dirt Road.” - Another set of singers we have no clue about.
India Carney: “New York State of Mind” - 4 turns. I thought that she was good, but she didn’t wow me like she did the coaches.

Well, yet another strong night. I think that this season will be great. Well, as long as the coaches don’t send the strong singers home. They’ve been known to do that from time to time.

Week 3. Do we need a new thread for one episode?

They wrapped up the auditions. Blake was the last to fill his team. He got a really good singer that nobody else could buzz in for. A Texas girl but she did this odd R&B version of The Letter.

Best song of the first nights Battle Rounds was Blake’s Team. Knockin on Heaven’s Door.

You can try making a new thread if you want. After last Monday’s post sank like a stone I didn’t bother posting anything for Tue or Wed. I figured there’s no interest in this season.

Also, I’m on the west coast, so for me tonight’s episode will start in 30 minutes.

Season threads are easier to keep alive. I watch the Voice and comment about songs I really liked or hated. So far its been pretty good. A lot of talent this season.

Done.

Agree 100%.

Posting to this one, too. So there. :wink:

Once again, fairly much agreement.

What an odd song. Nutbush. Sorry, I’m having trouble taking you seriously as a singer.

It was good, though to me it sounded awfully like the original.

Agreed. Blake said she was a hair sharp throughout, so that can make a difference. Otherwise, she was great.

Blah song, blah style, but he was good with it.

Another bizarre song with the huge pitch changes. It did show her ability to hit those notes with the jumps, but it was odd to me. But I liked her anyway.

I liked her a lot, too. The coaches basically said she needs experience. I hope she comes back.

She wowed me.
