TEAM BLAKE

James David Carter vs. Griffin

James is singing “If You’ve Got a Friend”. Blake told James to find a place to hit a big high note somewhere in the song. If he doesn’t, Blake worries people will forget that he’s a great singer. Blake is sure Griffin will hit a high note leaving James bringing a knife to a gun fight. Griffin chose to sing “As Long as You Love Me” by Justin Bieber because it’s a “Poppy song” and he wants to put his own twist on it.

Coaches Comments: Pharrell who was Griffin’s former coach, said he doesn’t know what Blake’s going to do. Gwen said she had goosebumps from James, and Griffin’s voice was “super-powerful”. But, James was “believable” and Griffin is still trying to find his voice. Adam said the problem for him is that they were so surprised by Griffin’s last performance, and this song was “super-safe”. Coach Blake said he was surprised at Griffin’s song choice, but it was the first time he was wrong. Blake chose James and said Griffin did a good job, but not the job he did in the battle rounds.
