I get the feeling Julien would not have chosen this song for himself.
They both look like they’re having a good time up there. Johnny’s performance has a more effortless quality. Julien is super-growly, like he’s trying too hard to rock hard. Julien realizes that he has to forget about what he learned in theater. Adam gets behind the drums during the final rehearsal to help Johnny stay in the pocket. Johnny gets too excited which leads to timing issues. John tells Julien to stop thinking so hard. Johnny gets to sing another Otis Redding song. A rock scream got the attention of Adam and Blake at the very last minute. Johnny Hayes vs Julien Martinez – Team Adam Levine – Hard to Handle by Otis Redding/Black Crowes – Johnny couldn’t get a button push in season 11 but when he returned for season 12 with “Try A Little Tenderness” the coaches were impressed. “I choose Adam.” She probably realizes that whole “I’ll fix your style” deal was bad stuff. “I like Diners and French fries” Autumn snarks back. Gwen thinks she can help Autumn with style and personality tips. Alicia Chooses Vanessa – Adam and Gwen steal Autumn. Really? They’re going to fight over Autumn? She does have an impressive range, but is otherwise quite ordininary. Adam wants Autumn on his team if she loses. Gwen can’t imagine how Alicia will choose. The arrangement starts off like the Roberta Flack version, and then shifts into a reggae-fied vibe similar to Lauryn Hill s. Alicia advises them both to put their own stamp on the song, but without changing up the classic melody. The experienced Vanessa is already familiar with the song. Alicia thinks Autumn is more pop, Vanessa more soulful.
Vanessa is a full time musician who has traveled the world. Soul Josh is EliminatedĪutumn Turner vs Vanessa Ferguson – Team Alicia Keys – Killing Me Softly with His Song by Roberta Flack/Lauren Hill – Autumn works as a figure skating coach.
Blake thought T Soul did a great job modulating his runs. Adam calls them both “so natural.” Blake was impressed with Josh’s stage presence. “You lit up this place.” Gwen compliments the duo’s stage presence. Alicia felt they both brought the energy, harmonies, joy. It’s a good song choice for both singers. Having said that, Josh is a solid vocalist, but he lacks T’s spark. He’s more than just a standard soul singer. In the final rehearsal, Blake says “lock in the harmonies.” Because it was a bit out of tune. Blake wants T to dial back the runs and not over do it. T notes the long connection between country and soul. Soul sang “Take Me to the River” during his Blind Audition. Soul – Team Blake Shelton – In the Midnight Hour by Wilson Pickett – T. And, DJ Khaled helps Alicia Keys prepare her team.Ĭlick this link for tonight’s The Voice 12 Song Spoilers. Celine Dion teaches Team Gwen Stefani a thing or two about singing.
