Season 6 of The Voice is here! I'm so sorry I'm just now getting around to watching and posting about the first week of auditions. Things have been so crazy and I'm so behind on all of my shows. Hopefully next week, I'll be back on top of things.
So, let's get to the recap of the first episode and find out who the coaches have chosen for their teams.
Team Adam
Christina Grimmie
Usher and Shakira turned around right away, quickly followed by Adam. She immediately was captivating with her voice. It was slightly unique, and she had a lot of power. She had great tone, and great control. She was so amazing, that Blake finally had to turn around as well. Great audition!
Dawn & Hawkes
Interesting, odd couple. They compliment each other very well. I like their individual voices as well as them together. Guess what...they could definitely be the next Alex & Sierra (winners of last season's X Factor). Their style of music is very similar. Dawn looks a lot like Sierra. The main difference is that Alex is a lot cuter (like, a lot) than Hawkes. They only got Adam and Shakira to turn around. I was surprised that Blake didn't turn around.
Team Blake
Jake Worthington
He definitely has improved since last season when he tried out. He's a little on the boring side this time around, but his voice sounded really good. Adam had no business turning around...leave this guy for Blake...he doesn't have anyone yet. Blake turned around soon after Adam, and so did Shakira. Adam fought (I don't know why), and he ultimately chose Blake, which is really the only place he belongs.
Team Shakira
Kristen Merlin
Definitely not your stereotypical country singer. By voice alone she is, but not by looks that's for sure. I don't think she's very original, but she can definitely sing. Adam and Shakira turned right away. Waiting for Blake to turn...and he didn't! Blake said he didn't turn around because she had a killer vibrato and he thought Shakira would be able to help her better with that.
Jeremy Briggs
Good looking guy with a great voice to match. I loved his tone, and his voice was just so solid. He showed he can rock out, but he also had a very smooth delivery with the beginning of the song. His high notes were incredible. I like this guy! He got a turnaround from Blake and Shakira.
Team Usher
T.J. Wilkins
I wasn't so sure that his song choice was going to be a good one, but it obviously got the judges because Adam, Usher and Blake turned immediately. He has a very smooth voice, and he did a great job on "Benny and the Jets". He nailed the high notes.The further he got into the song, the better it got. He had some killer runs.
Biff Gore
Very soulful performance...just how he described himself. It didn't take long for 3 to turn around. Usher was the lone holdout, but he eventually caved in. I really liked what he did with the song. We've heard this song done so many times, and it always sounds the same. He added more soul and just changed up the song enough to make it interesting.
Bria Kelly
With one note, Adam and Blake both turned around! Wow! She has a killer rocker voice, and she is only 17! She is very strong, and she showed some grit later in the song as well. I didn't like the screaming so much, but the rest was good. And it was good enough for a 4-chair turnaround, and a 4-coach standing ovation. Eventually, Usher won her over with his display of his Grammy trophy.
