On with the show!
Love Me Like You Do
On paper, Love Me Like You Do sounded a perfect fit for Brooke stylistically and strategically, but the key was pitched so low at the beginning that she sounded odd during the verses. Then, when she transitioned to a higher key the switch was jarring. I don't know. I enjoyed her during the Blind Auditions, but this was not her best performance. 5
Love Runs Out
The song choice was a pleasant surprise as I was expecting something overdone or old - still can't get over Natural Woman - but her execution was a bit disappointing. Her vocals became shouty towards the end and her pitch was uneven for the most part. Not sure if it was the tempo, but this didn't work for her. 6
I Feel The Earth Move
I was seriously hoping she'd tackle something more current. This performance, though vocally competent, was too old fashioned sans the awkward dancing. I'm really not sure how people will respond to her performance. 7
Free Bird
Again, another solid performance from Sarah. The power of her voice was evident once again and while I felt like she did try to add a lot more vocal dynamics to the number, everything still sounded a little too loud for my taste. She needed more finesse and nuance to her singing to still be interesting once in a while. 7.5
Make You Feel My Love
Without a doubt, the best song choice for Team Blake. Not only did Make You Feel My Love showcase a different side of Corey's vocals, but he made a palpable and believable connection to the song. The texture in his voice added character to his singing and some his phrasing choices were interesting. Very nice. 8
