The following post contains videos from tonight’s episode of The Voice 2013 Season 4 Battle Rounds. Don’t want to see them yet then don’t look ahead!!!
*****************************************************************************************
Here we go…
Team Adam: Amber Carrington vs. Sasha Allen
Song: “Try” by Pink
The first battle of the night come from Team Adam. I love this song and it is a battle between the country artist and R&B artist. Adam tells Amber to concern herself with what she does and not what Sasha does. Sasha has such a strong voice and loud and powerful, but Amber is really feeling the lyrics. I think Sasha tries too hard and who thinks Amber reminds you of Michaela Paige from Team Blake last season??? The coaches think Adam has a tough decision, but he picks Amber to move on!!! Despite a no from Adam, both Usher and Shakira hit their steal button and now it is up to Sasha to pick a team! And a commercial break before her pick…and we are back and she goes Team Shakira!
Team Shakira: Garrett Gardner vs. J’Sun
Song: “How You Like Me Now” by The Heavy
Garrett is blown away when he comes in and sees Joel Madden and said he was influenced by him. Garrett needs to not over do it and J’Sun needs to believe he is the man in the song.Will Garrett make it his second time around? J’Sun wasn’t shown much in the Blind Auditions on The Voice 2013 Season 4, but he starts real strong. I am liking his voice, but then Garrett comes in and has that rocker voice that works with this song. They end real strong and this was a tight battle. Shakira picks Garrett for the win and no one steals J’Sun, so he is headed home on The Voice Season 4.
Team Blake: Holly Tucker vs. Michelle Raitzin
Song: “Blown Away” by Carrie Underwood
They were blown away to see Sheryl Crow. Blake said he put them together because of their power and it will be good music and he might doubt his choice later. He thought Holly sounded too sweet for what this song represents. Michelle comes out looking like Wonder Woman, right? Holly just has a weird tone to her voice and it looks like they are both trying too hard at the beginning. There is something about this one that kind of bores me. Anyone else feel that way? Blake wants to keep them both, but Carson Daly won’t let him, so he picks Holly Tucker. No one steals Michelle and she is going home.
Team Usher: Jess Kellner vs. Taylor Beckham
Song: “You Know I’m No Good” by Amy Winehouse
Usher picked them because they have two different tones and wanted to see how they do with this battle. They tell them to get lost in the song and feel the emotions. He stands across the room and wants them to attract him to their singing and he doesn’t move. I am not a fan of Taylor’s voice and am picking Jess more and more as they rehearse. Jess starts strong and has an Amy Winehouse-type voice. Taylor starts and looks super nervous. I think Jess is totally outshining Taylor and this could be an easy decision for Usher? Usher picks Jess Kellner for Team Usher and at the last minute Blake hits his steal button and Taylor Beckham joins Team Blake!
Team Blake: Christian Porter vs. The Swon Brothers
Song: “Won’t Back Down” by Tom Petty
We have our first duo taking on the Battle Rounds on The Voice Season 4. Blake thinks The Swon Brothers are funny and Christian’s version of “Sexy and I Know It” was hilarious and they will mesh together. The Swon Brothers sang a Tom Petty in their Blind Audition, so they feel confident with this song choice. Christian sounds great to start, but I think he does the weird renditions of song and that is what made him so different. The Swon Brothers start and this is the type of song they would sing. They harmonize well, but Christian is trying to stand his ground and is not backing down, but it is all up to Blake. He goes with what he knows again and picks The Swon Brothers and they move on to the Knockout Brothers. Christian doesn’t get stolen and he goes home.
Team Adam: Judith Hill vs. Karina Iglesias
Song: “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World” by James Brown
This is the one we have been seeing all night on The Voice 2013 Season 4, so we should expect big things, right? Judith was huge during the Blind Auditions, so will she take out Karina easily? Judith said this song has no melody and nothing for her to grasp onto, so she needs to work hard on this. Adam is upset he paired them against each other on The Voice Season 4. Work it out Karina, as I think this song is a perfect choice for her. She is killing it, but Judith has such a strong voice…this is a tough one! For this one, whoever Adam does not pick will get stolen by another coach. Adam thinks it is the best battle ever on the show, which he said after his team’s first battle as well tonight. He picks Judith Hill, but Shakira comes in for the steal and adds Karina Iglesias to Team Shakira and she has used both her steals tonight!
That’s it and we will be back tomorrow night with even more battles, so come back for our Live Recap!!!
