The Voice Recap: Grace Bello, Austin Montgomery — Blind Auditions

As The Voice’s Blind Auditions neared their conclusion Tuesday evening, Season 22 was beginning to form up, with every of the coaches’ groups having at the very least one standout on its roster. (Suppose Staff John Legend’s Morgan Taylor, Staff Gwen Stefani’s Daysia, Staff Camila Cabello’s Andrew Igbokidi and Staff Blake Shelton’s bodie). Have been any new frontrunners added to the pack on Evening 6? Learn on, and we’ll focus on.

Austin Montgomery (Staff Blake), “I Can’t Assist It (If I’m Nonetheless in Love With You)” — Grade: B | This baby-faced outdated soul could have, as he put it, “accomplished nothing” music-wise earlier than The Voice, however that didn’t cease him from giving such robust Elvis Presley vibes together with his baritone that he earned himself a three-chair flip. Presumably the best coach collection of the season.

Dia Malai (Staff Legend), “Actual Love” — Grade: C | Man, I want this Queens 26-year-old sounded as cool as she appeared. She actually had some robust moments throughout her efficiency, the place you have been like, “Yeah, she’s bought it.” However then the one-chair flip so usually sounded uncertain that you just have been additionally like, “Hmm, does she know what to do with it?”

Benny Weag (Staff Blake), “Shivers” — Grade: C | Perhaps Benny deserved higher than a C — his coach favored his tone and pocket — however we actually heard about 10 seconds of his audition. (Sure, I went again and timed it.) So who can say for certain?

Jillian Jordyn (Staff Gwen), “Points” — Grade: C | Gotta assume that Gwen will come to remorse her early chair flip for this 17-year-old. (Or jettison her within the Battles.) It’s comprehensible, after all, that Jillian would get flustered at seeing Gwen and John’s faces swivel ’spherical. However it’s worrisome her efficiency finally felt extra like she was forcing it on us than giving it to us.

Grace Bello (Staff Camila), “Ghost” — Grade: A | “Haunting” might be the perfect phrase to explain this 21-year-old’s Justin Bieber cowl; it simply occurs to be punny, too. As John famous, the four-chair flip went delicate and nuanced reasonably than massive and bombastic, permitting us to listen to how good she was reasonably than simply how loud she might be.
