The Voice, Ep. 6.16

The last night of the Playoffs...next up is the live shows.

Team Usher

T.J.
Rufus & Chaka Khan - "Tell Me Something Good"
His voice is so clear and smooth. Not my favorite song choice, but he sounded incredible. It got a little boring towards the end. I wish he would have done something a little more interesting with the song.

Melissa
Beyonce - "Halo"
She has a beautiful voice. Her voice cuts like a knife. She showed a range of high and low, and loud and soft. At the end she did a routine of complete acrobatics! Those notes were all over the place. Maybe a little over the top, but wow, that was quite a feat to tackle.

Stevie Jo
B.B. King - "The Thrill Is Gone"
I wish he would have picked a more modern song. I don't know why all these people think they have to sing such old fashioned stuff. That said, I love Stevie Jo's voice, and I think he sang this song so well. He did make it sound a little more modern. He showed off everything that he is good at. He sounded great. Towards the end, his voice sounded a little bit ragged, like he was sick or something. It sounded pretty forced. Since Adam didn't pick Jake and Morgan last night, Usher better pick Stevie Jo!

Bria
Rolling Stones - "Wild Horses"
She is so talented beyond her years. She knows how to perform a song. I love all the different things she can do with her voice. She can be sweet and soft, and then she belts out this heavy rock with grit and rasp. The pain and feeling she has in her voice sounds like she should be 40 years old. It's ridiculous that she's able to make her voice sound like that at such a young age. Wow. That was so good!

Josh
Bruno Mars - "It Will Rain"
This should be a pretty good song for him. I like the way his voice sounds on this song. It really gives it a different feeling than when Bruno Mars sings it. It seemed to drag a little bit the way he slowed it down, but it was still really good. He had some great, big notes. He nailed them pretty good (better than what it sounded like in the rehearsal). He lost me a little bit when he got down on his knees. When he got down, his notes seemed to miss just a little bit, but on his way back up to his feet, he found the notes again...and discovered some very nice high falsetto notes. Overall, it was pretty good.

Usher's Final 3: Bria, Josh, T.J.
No!!! I really wanted Stevie Jo!
