Re: [BigBrother_Survivor] 'The Voice' Season 13 Premiere Recap: The Blind Auditions Begin with New Coach Jennifer Hudson

 

I love Jennifer as one of the coaches I think it will be a fun season. Not sure the girls will be able to beat the guys, but I know Miley really wants to win and she already has a couple great singers!

  And now my favorite musical show. I think we are in
for another great season. I know many do not like Miley but
I do and with the addition of Jennifer Hudson? I think the
*boys* are in for a fight. I did not know until last night that Jennifer is
the reigning champ of The Voice UK.
\'The
Voice' Season 13 Premiere Recap: The Blind Auditions
Begin with New Coach Jennifer Hudson

Monday,
September 25, 2017
Sundi Rose
Contributing
Writer, BuddyTV The
Voice returns to launch its 13th
season. Powerhouse vocalist Jennifer Hudson joins show
staples Miley Cyrus, Blake
Shelton and Adam
Levine. Jennifer is the reigning champ of The Voice UK, and she's
in it to win it. The coaches are the most competitive yet,
as talent convenes
from around the country to vie for the title of The
Voice.

 

After a lot of hype for
season 13 and the perfunctory introductions of the judges --
like we don't know
them all by now -- the show jumps right in with
performances. Mixed between
coach shenanigans and good-natured bickering, the singing
starts right
way.



 
Meet the singers of The
Voice season 13:

Chris

Weaver ("Try a Little Tenderness")

Chris
is a worship leader by day
and a drag queen by night. He leads the singing in his
church, but he also
performs as Needra Bell. He has a performance background and
met Jennifer a few years
earlier at a Color
Purple party. Apparently, she threw her shoe at him
then, and that's a really good thing.

This
is an ambitious song, but he
definitely nails it and the coaches are all fighting for a
chance to work with
him.  Result:
Jennifer
Hudson. She throws her shoe at him again during this
performance, so it's
obviously meant to be.

 

 
Mitchell
Lee ("Hold My
Hand")

Mitchell
is a woodworker, ex-dentist and super hunky dreamboat
from Charleston, South Carolina. He lost his mother two
years ago, and her wish
to see him as a performer and artist is what drives him to
pursue a singing
career. He's also very, very handsome, and I'm not
the only one to think so.
J-Hud and Miley agree totally, and I think I see them blush
a
little.

 
Result:
Blake
Shelton . Duh. He's cute and twangy, and he and
Blake are like two
bookends, if one is 20 years younger and more dark and
handsome than the
other. 
 
 
 
Janice
Freeman
("Radioactive Soul")

Janice
is a widow and struggled through cancer
as a single mother. She battled all the grief and pain and,
through it all, met
her new husband of two years. She's definitely a
fighter, and you can tell she
came to be a contender. If her blue lipstick is any
indication, she's not afraid
to make bold choices.

Adam,
who doesn't turn his chair, calls it "swampy
nastiness" and all the coaches agree with a huge
"Yesss" because that's a
compliment.

Result:
Miley. In a surprising twist, Janice and Miley
really connect and the singer chooses her over J-Hud.
Although both Miley and
J-Hud go head to head with each other, they both come
together to rush the stage
and hug the crying Janice.
 


Xaris
("Don't Think Twice, It's
Alright")

Xaris
(pronounced Kar-is) is an old soul in her young 17 years.
Obsessed with folk
music from the '60s and '70s, she collects vinyl
records, the first of which was
a Peter, Paul and Mary album. Xaris plays a handful of
instruments and has the
voice of a much older performer.

Result:
Unfortunately, Xaris
doesn't generate any interest with the coaches, and no
one turns around. All
four have really encouraging things to say about her
individuality and voice,
but she just isn't able to find a home team.

Shi'ann
Jones ("Drown in
My Own Tears")

Shi'ann
is 15 years old and from Bowling Green,
Kentucky. According to Blake, and confirmed by Shi'ann,
the Corvette Musuem is
in Bowling Green and is a pretty cool spot.

Result:
Jennifer. She
turns around to grab Shi'ann after the first note. J-Hud
is so committed to
nabbing this singer that she threatens bodily harm to any
other coach willing to
push their button. Only Blake is brave enough to defy her,
but Shi'ann winds up
picking J-Hud in the end, anyway.

 
 

Dave
Crosby ("I
Will Follow You into the Dark")

A
young dad from Seattle, Washington,
Dave is no stranger to a little bit of fame. He, along with
his adorable
4-year-old daughter Claire, has his own YouTube channel.
You'll probably
recognize the duo from their viral video featuring them
singing "You've Got a
Friend in Me." Dave wants to make his daughter proud,
and he thinks The
Voice is just the place to make it happen.

Aside
from "I Will Follow
You into the Dark," he also performs a live rendition
of "You've Got a Friend in
Me" with the cutest contestant ever. Hearts melt and
coaches are
swayed.
 
Result:
Adam, of
course. After his pitch about being a fan of the viral
video, Dave can't say
no.


Odiseas
("Papa's Got a
Brand New Bag")

This is
Odiseas' second time on The
Voice. He first appeared in season 3 when he
was 15 and much more babyfaced in this turn. His family is
from Ghana, Africa,
and they are definitely a supportive bunch. He has his
mother and two brothers
in the wings rooting for him to succeed the whole time.

Result:

It's a bummer, but Odiseas doesn't get picked this
second time either. The
coaches have lots of advice for him, but nobody pushes their
button in time to
save him. There is some regret among them, but he goes home
in the end.


Esera
Tuaolo ("Rise Up")

Originally
from Hawaii, Esera now
lives in Minnesota after an incredibly successful career in
the NFL. He went to
the Superbowl with the Falcons and proudly wears his NFC
championship ring on
the stage. After his football career ended, in his 40s, he
came out to his
family and is now living as an out and proud gay man.

"Rise
Up" seems
like a fitting song for the ex-Falcon. It's a happy
coincidence that it's also
J-Hud's favorite song.

Result:
Blake, if you can believe it. His
unusual voice seems like it might draw him to J-Hud, but the
baller goes with
Blake in the final decision.
 


Brandon
Showell ("There's Nothing Holding Me
Back")

Brandon
is a 7th grade English teacher who got his start on a
cruise ship (much like our very own Jennifer Hudson). He
gigs on the weekend to
be close to his fiance, and they plan to be married after
the
auditions.

Result:
Adam. Adam gloats about this acquisition, and I
can only surmise that Brandon feels some kinship with the
coach over their
shared sense of style. Brandon isn't afraid to rock the
too-short pants/no
socks/loafer combo, and I swear I've seen Adam in a
similar situation from the
knee down.
 


Lucas
Holiday ("This Woman's Work")

Lucas

is a cashier for his local Lansing Michigan Dollar General,
and you will be
fooled by how he looks. Blake compares him to the TV shrink
Frasier, but when he
opens his mouth, he's Frasier no more. A co-worker once
took a video of him
singing a Maxwell song at work; it went viral, and Maxwell
himself invited him
to come sing on stage at a Detroit concert.

Result:
Jennifer,
since she's the only chair to turn during his
performance. It's probably fate
because they seem to hit it off right away. They even sing
an impromptu duet of
"God is Able," and it brings the house
down.
 


Brooke
Simpson ("Stone Cold")

Brooke
is
100% Haliwa-Saponi Indian, and her wish to make her tribe
proud is coming true
here. Her parents, full-time evangelists, stand on the
sidelines and watch as
she sings her heart out. She cites the Spice Girls as an
early influence, but
you can tell she's got eclectic tastes.


This song really showcases her
range, which some of the coaches liken to Jennifer's.
She owns the whole stage,
and the coaches -- all four of them -- are on their feet by
the time she
finishes.
 
Result:
Miley. How
could Brooke have made any other choice? Miley's heart
is pounding, and Brooke
identifies a "similar spirit" in her coach and
mentor.
