Can’t Say No on THE VOICE 16 Blind Auditions Week 4 Recap

“The Voice” coaches’ Teams were near full in week 4 of season 16 Blind Auditions. Most of the ruthless fighting amongst the coaches- Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, were over and the mood was a bit more chill as some of the coaches let some good artists slide-by while coach Kelly Clarkson scooped them up. However, she was still on the hunt for a Country male artist. Kelly was still feeling defeated by the male coaches when it came to winning over the male artists.

This episode opened with model/social media Queen and John Legend’s wife Chrissy Teigen chatting with Kelly about Legend singing everywhere and about everything.

The coaches were zoned-in on completing thier Teams of twelve artists each. Adam and Kelly needed three, John only needed one, and Blake Shelton was on the hunt for two more artists.

Her Dad is a photographer and her mom is a fashion designer/creative director for Donna Karen. Due to having models hanging-out at her home made her feel self-conscious growing-up. Celia chose to sing “I Don’t Want To Be You Anymore,” a song about insecurities.

Chair Turns: Blake, Kelly, Adam

John said she has such a power and her range is her story-telling. He compared her to Adele, and Florence, Fiona Apple He said she like no one else in the competition. Blake said her performance was “capivating” and hit his button because she’s a champ, but outside of his area of expertise. Kelly told her she has that song on her list – of a song she’d like her people to do. Adam said it’s his dream for her o win the voice because its time for a different tpe of singer to win. He said she has raw power tht singin has, the wy she sings and clled her “the future.” Blake tried to play on sympathy by making-up a story about his fake cat “Sandy” dying. Adam walked over to Blake and turned Blake’s chair back around. Celcia chose Adam.

Coach – Adam. Adam said Celcia is a “unicorn” tht has and incredible sense of style with her singing and thinkg they “so badly need someone like her on the show.” Celia said she had an obession with Maroon Five and had a connection with Adam.

Cecily got tons of hype from her social media post of her singing her drive-thru order at a McDonalds. She made it on the Today Show and the Steve Harvey show. Cecily is 16-years-old attending the South Carolina Govenors school where only six girls in the state get in a year for voice. She’s thrilled that John Legend is on “The Voice.” Cecily sang “Foolish Games.” Blake was the first, and only coach to turn.

Chair Turn: Blake

Adam thought she was awesome. John said her voice is developed beyond her years and advised her to keep showcasing “that powerful instrument she has.” Kelly called it “a really rad pic” regarding her song choice which she was surprised she knew. Blake told her they have to find the song that they can “blow the roof off this place.” Blake called her voice “pitch perfect” and glad the other coaches missed-out.

KALVIN JARVIS

Kalvin is 29-years-old from Tucson, Arizona where he is an Assistant Manager at an IHOP restaurant where his boss is his mom. She said she wants to see Kalvin pursue his passion. Kalvin, who’s dad is a rapper, said it’s challenging to do music and a full-time job. After they moved to a rough area, his dad got wrapped-up in drugs. Then reunited with the familylater.

But, Adam and Kelly were the first two (and only) coaches to turn.

Chair Turns: Adam, Kelly

John called it an “excellent song choice.” Kelly called his runs so good, and sexy. John said he’s probably too picky on his own songs. Adam called Kalvin “ridiculous” and impressed he sang John Legend’s song in front of him. Blake said when John didn’t hit his button for his own song, that threw him for a loop.

Coach – Adam. Adam said Kalvin is smooth with a great technique but not too clean.

AVA AUGUST

‘Voice host Carson Daly stopped-by backstage to tell Ava that she’s the youngest, at age 13 to ever audition on “The Voice.” She’s the only musical person in her family tree. Ava said it’s a little intimidating that she’s the youngest to be on the show and was hoping to be on Team Kelly because she’s geniune and won with a young artist. Ava sang “House of the Rising Sun” by The Animals.

Chair Turns: None

Kelly couldn’t believe that Ava is 13 and she “just became a teenager” with all that angst. Adam advised her to hone-in on who she wants to be and said there was some “over-styling.” John advised Ava to refine how she uses her instrument more and it will sound more natural.

David said he’s hoping that music will show him some love back. He sang “I Can’t Make You Love Me” by Bonnie Raitt. Kelly was the first and only coach to turn.

Chair Turn: Kelly

John said he may have been “too nitpicky” by not turning around. Kelly said she has sang that song too and knows the gravity and message of the song. The fact that he’s a man and did a different kind of soul than Bonnie Raitt is “smart” and will make David “stand-out in the competition.” Kelly also added that he has a “roundness and a tone” to his voice that you can NOT teach.

Adam told him he has zero Country singers on his team, where Kelly has Country singers on her Team. Kelly begged Andrew to pick her, and males never go on her Team!
