The Voice 7: The Knockouts Part 3

Well, that was fast. Haha. Tonight, The Knockouts are done and a couple of people delivered some interesting performances, and yes, I finally agree with some of the coaches' decisions. Sigh. This season is turning out to be a weak one and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to enjoy the show when the Live Show starts. I hope I'm wrong, but we'll see.

On with the show!

TEAM BLAKE

Allison Bray

Sin Wagon

Not a fan of the song. Her vocals were fine, but I don't the song gave her the opportunity to showcase the full potential of her voice. 

Taylor Brashears

Landslide

Lovely tone. Beautiful phrasing. Overdone song. Good job.

WINNER: Taylor Brashears

TEAM GWEN

Ryan Sill

Miss Independent

There's a natural rhythm to his voice that's quite impressive, and his transitions were seamless. He seemed a little awkward on stage though, but that's something he can fix overtime.

Beth Spangler

Too Little Too Late

She started off pretty strong, but the ending was a rough. Her voice sounded thin and shrill especially when she started hitting the high notes. 

WINNER: Ryan Sill

TEAM PHARRELL

Menlik Zergabachew
Could You Be Loved
Solid. His tone sounded fantastic, the song choice was spot on, and there's a confidence to his delivery that's interesting to watch.

Jean Kelley
Chandelier
While her verses sounded a tad breathy, the overall effect of the performance was terrific. I thought the quieter arrangement worked well in her favor and the build up to the big chorus added a great deal of dynamics.

WINNER: Jean Kelley

TEAM ADAM

Chris Jamison
(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay
He's probably one of the more stand out contestants this season, and while this was a pretty version, the whole performance felt a little underwhelming. Plus, his falsetto was shaky.

Blessing Offor
Your Body Is A Wonderland
Sure, I appreciated the effort to actually make this John Mayer song his own, but he made the ditty sound old school. His voice sounded strong though.

WINNER: Chris Jamison

TEAM BLAKE

Reagan James
Hit 'Em Up Style
She has ton of charisma and stage presence, but her vocals were uneven especially towards the end and I couldn't understand any of her words. Move over, Ariana Grande!

Grant Ganzer
Apologize
Blech.

WINNER: Reagan James

TEAM GWEN

Anita Antoinette
Rude
Her vocals were choppy and I'm not sure if it's her technique or just the song, but there was something wrong with her syncopation, but I digress. At least she was entertaining.

Craig Wayne Boyd
Can't You See
He actually sounded pretty fine, and I can actually see him headlining his own show. Nice.

WINNER: Anita Antoinette

STEAL: Craig Wayne Boyd (Team Blake)

Oh, and whatever Matt McAndrew did to be montaged at this stage of the competition. Was this the first?
