Re: [BigBrother_Survivor] 'The Voice' Recap: A Familiar Face Returns to the Stage

 

For me Davon was the stand out of the night. Plus Blake said you'll be in the finale! Blake is usually right when he does that. I was a bit surprised he didn't pick Blake or Adam, but Jennifer was the winning coach on The Voice UK so she just may have the winner again!

'The
Voice' Recap: A Familiar Face Returns to the
Stage

October 02, 2017

Night three of the Blind Auditions continues to
stir up the pot on The
Voice season 13. Blake Shelton , Adam Levine , Miley
Cyrus and new coach Jennifer Hudson are battling it out for
their teams. As we saw in the season premiere, the country
genre is prevalent with the contestants. Will Jennifer find
her stride and connect with a similar soulful background? Or
will she fall flat on American soil?


Adam Cunningham ("Midnight
Rider")
Adam,
a 38-year-old Iowa native, is a family man who is no
stranger to the music business. He's even worked in the
same recording studio as coach Blake. "I would love to
be the hero in my family," he says before stepping out
and lighting up the stage with this country rock
ballad.
Blake
is the first to turn around and take to his feet. The last
note finally tips Jennifer over the edge, and she hits her
button. "Let me teach you about soul," Jennifer
pleads, "He can't do that." Blake is not
amused. "Congratulations on winning last season in the
UK. We're in the United States now."
Result:
Team Blake
Hanna Mrozak
("Starving")
Hannah
Mrozak, an 18-year-old aesthetician from Wisconsin, was
influenced by her late brother to audition for the show. His
unfortunate suicide makes for quite the emotional backdrop
for her performance.
Three
coaches immediately turn around. Blake, Adam and Jennifer
all look very impressed, giving a standing ovation. Jennifer
makes good points, stating that it should be an issue that
Adam has no women on his team, and Blake calls her a
"back-up singer." Well, Hannah has a pop sound, so
she chooses the obvious.
Result:
Team Adam
Shilo Gold ("Stay with Me
Baby")
Shilo
Gold is a 26-year-old Bostonian who comes from a long
lineage of musically inclined family members. She states
early on that she would pick Jennifer as her coach. She has
the soul that Jennifer keeps referring to and,
unfortunately, it looks like not one chair will turn for
her.
Wait!
At the very last second, both Jennifer and Miley agree to
hit their buttons at the same time. "If we could
combine our voices together," says Miley, "then it
might be you." She has the range and the rasp. In a
huge turn of events, it may have been that very compliment
that changes Shilo's decision.
Result:
Team Miley
Samantha Rios ("Something's Got a Hold on
Me")
Samantha
Rios is a first generation American after her Latin parents
immigrated to Virginia. She's already achieved one of
the highest honors at the young age of 16, having sung for
former President Obama at the White House. She hits the
stage as a powerhouse, but the coaches are waiting for that
"it" factor. No one turns around, but the coaches
all agree that she has potential. Jennifer takes the time
during a hug to give her notes to learn from and encourages
her to come back again. "I wish I could have picked
her," says Jennifer just a little too
late. 
Result:
No one turns a chair
Noah Mac ("Way Down We
Go")
This
17-year-old has the looks of a boy band member but the
influences of soul, R&B and gospel. His family first
learned of his talents when he volunteered to sing at his
late sister's funeral after losing her fight against
brain cancer.
An
emotional story leads into quite the emotional performance
as Noah commands the stage with a voice beyond his years.
Jennifer turns first, and Blake follows. They lead the
audience in a standing ovation. "Whoa, you're
hot," says Miley. Adam quickly reminds her that
he's underage, and the conversation moves back to the
matter at hand. Jennifer needs her first artist, but Blake
is probably the better and more fitting
choice. 
Result:
Team Blake
Davon Flemming ("Me and Mrs.
Jones")
Davon,
26 years old, has been though a lot growing up in Baltimore,
but he lifts spirits as a worship leader in church. He wants
the coaches to hear his heart on stage. Adam, Miley and
Jennifer immediately hear that heart speaking to them. Blake
is the last to turn around, but he hardly skips a beat.
Jennifer's shoe has come off and flown across the floor
for these vocals. Carson Daly and Davon's mother and
friend are backstage high-fiving their shoes.
"You're
gonna be in the finale," says Blake. His statement is
bold, but Jennifer wins Davon over with a duet. She grabs a
microphone from somewhere (I know not where) and joins him
onstage for a duet of Whitney Houston's I Will Always
Love You. Adam reminds Davon that having a bond is great,
but you need someone who will take you where you need to go.
Everyone's argument is so strong. Who will welcome Davon
onto their team?
Result:
Team Jennifer

Kathrina Feigh ("Big White
Room")
All
the way from the Philippines, this 24-year-old is all about
family. Kathrina is putting a musical theatre background on
hold in order to audition for this once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity. Her voice is beautiful, but the performance is
a bit lackluster until it slowly starts to pick up. Possibly
a bad song choice, though.
Jennifer
and Blake decide to go for it and turn around at the last
minute. "It moved me," Jennifer compliments the
performance. Kathrina chimes in that she's seen Jennifer
in The
Color Purple on Broadway. "I played on
Broadway," adds Blake, "in Nashville." Not
quite where this artist is looking to go, Blake.
Result:
Team Jennifer
Jennifer
and Blake continue to add to their teams as the night goes
on. Alexandra
Joyce and Eric
Lyn join Team Jennifer and Team Blake welcomes Anna
Catharine DeHart.
Addison Agen
("Jolene")
Sixteen-year-old
Addison has music in her veins. Her father owns a record
store and her mother is a music therapist. She believes all
the coaches would be great for her and her American folk
genre.
Adam
and Miley turn their chairs after just a few moments of this
soulful and passionate performance. Jennifer is hesitant but
never hits her button. Blake admits that he stepped back in
order for Addison to join Miley's team. This won't
stop Adam from fighting, though. "You were so just full
of life and emotion," he says. "I feel like I can
relate to you in a way that Adam can't," Miley
states. It's a tennis match! Who wins?
Result:
Team Miley
Adam Pearce ("Hot
Blooded")
You
might recognize this face from last season. Disappointed
after no one turned their chairs for him, he's back for
a second chance. "Still on the grind," as he calls
it, Adam has consulted with two vocal coaches and fronted
his band regularly since we last saw him. Adam and Miley
turn around at the same exact time. "His voice is
dope!" yells Miley. "So I've been coaching you
since last season," Adam jokes, since he is the one who
encouraged Adam to work hard and come back. Blake fights for
Miley and makes quite the argument, but in the end the Adams
stick together.
Result:
Team Adam
Myles Frost ("My Cherie
Amour")
Myles
Frost, a teenager from Washington, DC, always had music to
fall back on through tough times growing up. His vocal
performance is strong, but his stage presence is a tad
boring. He dances more in the package than for the coaches.
Even though they can't see him, they must know somehow
because no one turns around. "Go work on your craft and
come back," says Adam. Jennifer points out that Stevie
Wonder is hard to take on. Perhaps, it was the song choice
that did him in. Hopefully, we haven't seen the last of
Myles.
Result:
No one turns a chair
Moriah Formica ("Crazy on
You")
Moriah
is 16 years old but, thanks to her father, a lover of
classic rock. She's even opened for the lead singer of
Stryper, Michael Sweet. She takes to the stage, guitar in
hand, and lights up the room with a fantastic
performance.
Miley
turns around first.  Blake, Adam and Jennifer all hit
their buttons after one incredible note. Everyone is on
their feet. "Like a pint-sized powerhouse," says
Adam. He's right. No one expected these vocals to come
from such a small girl. Each coach states their case. Blake
mentions her talent, Miley relates to her age, Adam loves
that she has an old soul and Jennifer seemed to just enjoy
the performance, period. In the end, I think the "big
sister" advice makes more of an impression.
Result:
Team Miley
It's
been a very well-rounded episode. The artists made their way
out of country, through some soul and finally ended up in
the rock and roll genre. It's expected to find new
talent in the artists that grace the stage each week, yet
the new lineup of coaches brings a
different dynamic to the show with changes made each season.
Jennifer Hudson looks to be slightly distracted by her own
celebrity, but hopefully this will fade as the season
continues.

you have paired them with? Let us know your thoughts in the
