Chicago on the Floor! THE VOICE Season 13 Blind Auditions Week 3 Recap

The Blind Auditions for season 13 of “The Voice” continued for a third week with the majority of the artists coming from Chicago! Coach Miley Cyrus announced that she would be trying to make ‘Voice history by competing with the first all-female team.

Some of the artists who amazed and wowed from Monday’s Blind Auditions included Jon Mero with “Versace on the Floor” tune, Ignatious Carmouch who is the first ‘Voice Snapchat winner, and Whitney Fenimore who caught the attention of Adam while singing a Drake song in a similar style as the late Christina Grimmie who was a past contestant.

CHLOE KOHANSKI (3-chair-turn) TEAM MILEY
Chloe works at a coffee shop and was in a band. The Voice Blind Audition is the first time she’s performed solo. Chloe got the attention of the coaches with “The Chain” by Fleetwood Mac

Chair Turns: Miley, Jennifer, Blake.

Blake loved her “lower registery” and her rock-n-roll sound. “Your vibe is so forward that it just made me want to be your friend,” said Jennifer. She also added “sass is sass.. If we put that sass together, we could do a lot of things.” Miley said she aspired to be like Stevie Nicks. Jennifer dropped the fact that she won an Oscar to try to win Chloe over from Miley. Blake told Chloe “I think you can be in the finale.” Miley came back with she’s going to win this time.

Chole picked Miley, she said, because she’s “obessed” with Miley.

OLIVIA KAY
Olivia is an impressive 13-year-old singer who started singing when she was seven. Olivia recorded a cover of Adele’s song “Rolling in the Deep” that went viral on YouTube. She met Blake previously.

The coaches were surprised when they turned and saw how young Olivia is. Adam told her, when he was young, his voice wasn’t what it was going to be yet and encourgaed her to continue to develop her voice. Blake said she needs to learn how to control that “shredding” part of her voice and gave her a year. Olivia asked Blake to sign a photo (which he did) of her and him together when she was 10 years old.

Chair Turns: Adam, Blake

Blake actually knew that Dennis sang “The Black Crows” song. Adam told him because Dennis was singing the song his way, “it was really cool…clearly, I am the one for you,” Adam said. Blake encouraged them to find the right songs, and “let’s win this thing.”

Dennis chose Blake based on his “gut”. He said with the country music and the stories, it’s what he values and could learn a lot.

Ignatious is the first ‘Voice Snapchat winner to go straight to the Blind Auditions. He sang “Latch” with a soul/R&B flavor.

Chair Turns: Jennifer, Blake

Jennifer said it felt like he was singing to her heart and it feels like he’s playing a saxophone with words. He said he plays the sax. Blake said when he sings “full voice” it’s incredible. But, when he switches, it’s like a record. Blake said it would be an incredible journey if Ignatious went from Snapchat to “The Voice” finale.

Ignatious chose Jennifer. She said he has such a beautiful register and range. Ignatious said he exceeded expectations.

REBECCA BRUNNER (1-chair-turn) TEAM BLAKE
Rebecca is from a small town called Mason. But now lives in Chicago.

Chair Turn: Blake

Brandon, who’s 19-years-old, sang “Georgia on My Mind” by Ray Charles. Brandon is from the Bronx, New York.

Chair Turns: Adam, Blake, Jennifer

Jennifer asked “is your voice really that deep?” He said “yeah”. Adam said “it’s a lost art to sing a song like that. There’s something really old school with how you delivered that song.” And didn’t really think of Ray Charles. But thought of Brandon. Blake said he heard some Willie Nelson. Jennifer said she won her last season (in the U.K.) and none of the coaches there won last season (Alicia Keys won “The Voice” season 12) Adam said if you want to win “The Voice” U.K. then go there and maybe Jennifer can help him. “But this is a different thing.” Adam reminded Brandon that he turned his chair first.

Brandon chose Adam because he said he thinks Adam will push him out of his comfort zone and help him discover things about himself.

NATHAN GRAHAM
Nathan is 27-years-old from Chicago. He said he wants that Country root to come out in his voice in his Blind Audition. Nathan sang while playing guitar.

Adam said he appreicates the graveliness of his voice. But, the moment that overtook his voice. Miley said she couldn’t hear him sing enough. His voice was drowned-out by his sound.

Miley said it made sense that Meagan made the song feel retro from looking at her retro style. “Your voice is amazing” and said she’s an entertainer as well as an artist, Miley added. Blake said he likes that she took that song and changed it up and she needed to be on J Hud’s Team. Jennifer said it shows how great of a singer she is and that she’s powerful.

Jennifer said she felt an old-school soul sound from Meagan.

JON MERO (3-chair-turn) TEAM BLAKE

Chair Turn: Adam, Jennifer, Blake

Adam said “it would be an honor to work with you” and honestly sees “the Voice” as a step in his career. Jennifer said she loves to see when people “own their moment”. Blake was surprised Jon isn’t a trained dancer. Blake called him an “incredible singer”. Miley said she was last because she wanted to make sure she listened to him and wants to work with people that inspire her. Jon’s mom came out onto the stage and he got emotional as he talked of her encouragement.

Jon chose Adam. Miley and Jennifer were shocked! Adam said Jon is potentially the winner and is so charasmatic and talented. Jon said Adam represents the genre of music he most closely resembles.
