Re: [BigBrother_Survivor] 'The Voice' Recap: Blake and Miley Battle to Get Country Singers on Their Teams

 

I would say Ashland was the first stand out in the blinds so far. I expect she'll make it through Knockouts and Battles and I know Blake will try and steal her
the first chance he gets!

  'The
Voice' Recap: Blake and Miley Battle to Get Country
Singers on Their Teams
Tuesday,

It was evident watching the season 13 premiere of The
Voice that this is going to be a great season.
We've moved away from the cutesy-ness of Blake Shelton
and Gwen Stefani , and now it's just all great music, as
he's joined by fellow coaches Miley Cyrus, Adam Levine
and new coach Jennifer Hudson.


Jennifer, previously a winning coach on the UK version of The
Voice, just couldn't help coaching the contestants
even during the audition stage, though it didn't always
win them over. It's not going to help her much during
night two, however, as many of the contestants fit into the
country genre.

Keisha Renee ("I Can't Stop Loving
You")


Keisha, 30, of Inglewood, California, believes that it's
good that the coaches can't see her because she wants to
break the mold of what a country artist should look like.
Gospel music is in her genes, but she's become open to
all genres. Though she previously sang background for Nicki
Minaj, she also loves country music. Previously really heavy
during a high-risk pregnancy with her daughter, she has now
lost the weight.
She definitely tackles the country genre really
well and gets chair turns from all four coaches, as Jennifer
says, "Sing, girl!" She asks what church Keisha
goes to, as she knows she's hearing church in that
voice. She also wonders what her true focus is, wanting to
help her create her own lane. Adam figures he's in
trouble because she's singing something Blake would do
with Jennifer's voice and Miley's style. Miley
explains that Nashville is thriving right now because
they're putting a new face to the music. Blake boasts
that country music is his life, which is probably the reason
she picks him as her coach.Result:
Keisha joins Blake's team

Dylan Gerard ("Say You Won't Let
Go")


This
28-year-old nurse's assistant of Macclenny, Florida,
while he looks very unstated, gives a terrific emotional
performance. Just before the chorus, Adam and Jennifer turn
their chairs, followed by a standing ovation fromAdam, who
explains that he was able to feel something and that's
why he turned around. Jennifer sees potential in him and
thinks he has more than he even realizes he has and does yet
more quick coaching, leading to a performance that Miley
calls "dope." This spells trouble for Adam, but
surprisingly Dylan goes with Adam because he's a fan of
Maroon 5. Result:
Dylan joins Adam's team
Maharasyi
("Tell Me Something Good")


Maharasyi gets subtitles, as she starts by speaking in
Indonesian. Her entire family is from Indonesia, but she was
born in Los Angeles. Shet went to Indonesia to be raised
after her father left the family because her mother was
having a hard time raising a family and working two jobs.
The 27-year-old fell in love with music watching her aunt,
who is "like the Whitney Houston of Indonesia."
Maharasyi recorded there as well but came back to the US to
be with her family. She's looking to be coached by the
talented Miley.

But
she's not like the Indonesian Whitney Houston; she's
more like a soulful Jennifer Hudson, who turns around when
she obviously hears the same quality. Maharasyi then gets
her wish when Miley turns around as well. Adam is happy that
she chose the song as "Chaka Khan is, like, my
crush." Jennifer wonders why she shied away away from
the end note because she thinks she had it. She obliges
Jennifer and hits it. Miley felt her nerves were holding her
back and wants her to believe in herself as much as she
does. Maharasyi switches her plans and goes with Jennifer as
her coach.
Result:
Maharasyi joins Jennifer's team

Marlow
Wells ("Love Me Now")

The
61-year-old Marlow is from Fontana, California, but he is
originally from Detroit. His dad, Carl Jones, sang with the
Love-Tones along with many of the Motown greats such as
Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye. After 30 years of success
at a major insurance company, he missed music and has been
singing full-time the past five years. His wife is working
two jobs for him to realize his dream. Another dream would
be to work with Jennifer.


Despite having that Motown background, he sings this more
recent song and does well, but he's perhaps not singing
in the genre he's more comfortable with. No one turns
around for him. Adam tells him he has a powerful, strong
voice, but he missed some of the original phrasing. Jennifer
explains that his voice just covered so many genres. Miley
thinks she might have turned had she not gotten into her own
head and questioned why the others weren't turning
around.
Result:
No one turns their chairs

Red
Marlow ("Swingin'")


Red Marlow, 40, of Dickson, Tennessee, is bald now but
explains that he used to have so much red hair he could set
stuff on fire. He could be a great one for Miley, as he
says, "I'm country as cornbread, from singing to
skeet shooting, fishing, hunting." He grew up playing
bluegrass and gospel, as his dad's a preacher. He moved
on to singing demos when he first started out in music but
took a step back as a family man and now runs a small
construction business. He's hoping to turn a chair to
know that he is good enough to do this.


Singing up onstage along with his guitar, it's obvious
that he's "country as cornbread." Blake sings
along and finally hits his button, followed by Miley. Adam
loves seeing someone who is more country than Blake. MIley
tells him she's here this season because she wants to
bring a new face to country music. Red explains that
he's actually met Blake before, and he'd just love
to see him get the opportunity that he deserves. Red says he
has to pick Blake.
Result:
Red joins Blake's team

Ashland Craft ("You Are My
Sunshine")

This
21-year-old from Piedmont, South Carolina, has had a steady
gig at what she describes as a "honky tonk." Her
dad is a mechanic and built her a studio. She explains there
aren't a lot of music opportunities where she's
from, so she sees this as her one chance to reach her dream.


She
sings in the style of Chris Stapleton, and she absolutely
kills it with perhaps the most unique performance of the
night. Miley, Adam and Blake turn their chairs, and Miley is
already chomping at the bit to win this performance. She
says she covered that song on her tour and even sang it
dressed as the sun. Adam has been trying to get a country
artist throughout the series but believes she'll
transcend this genre. Blake tells her there hasn't been
a voice like hers on country radio since Gretchen Wilson.
Ashland admits to being torn, then goes with
Miley.

Result:
Ashland joins Miley's team


There definitely seems to be a preponderance of country
singers on this second night of the Blind
Auditions.

Will The
Voice be able to break out of the country genre in the
remainder of the auditions? Or is this setting the tone for
season 13? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section
below.

The
Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC.
