Episode: The Blind Auditions, Part 5 (2x5)
Episode Plot:
"The Voice" - Blind Auditions Part 5 - Feb. 27, 2012Adam, Blake, and Christina need two more singers and Cee Lo needs three.First up is Whitney Myer who plays with her dad and her uncle in a band that does pop-soul-funk. She sings "No One" by Alicia Keys in a kind of rootsy arrangement. She's cute and good. Adam turns first, then Cee Lo, then Blake, then finally Christina. They fight over her. She picks Adam. Next up is David Dunn who has a petroleum engineering degree which he got to work at his dad's oil company. His dad seems a bit skeptical of David's chances. He sings "The Man Who Can't Be Moved." He's fine but it doesn't have a lot of dynamic range to it. And none of the judges is moved. The crowd liked him though. They tell him to keep singing. His dad gives him a big hug and says he won the audience. Next is the rock duo of Rory and Tristan Shields, the Shields Brothers who live on a farm. Their dad is very supportive of them getting on the road and making some money. They want to punch America in the face with rock and roll. They sing "Dancin' With Myself" by Billy Idol. Cee Lo turns first and is the only one who does. All the coaches says they are in the right hands. Next is Cheesa (pronounced Chessa) and she is from Hawaii. Her parents believed in her so much they moved to L.A. and weathered financial storms. She sings "If I Were a Boy" by Beyonce. It starts very low and kinda shaky. It gets better in the higher, belting chorus. It's a little shouty and flat in places though. Cee Lo turns at the very last moment at Adam's urging. Cee Lo was the coach she wanted. Next up is Preston Shannon aka the King of Beale St. a 64-year-old blues musician from Memphis. He's still open to some training.He's adorable, nattily dressed in a suit. He rocks out on "In the Midnight Hour." He's got a classic gruff blues voice and plays well. Blake considers pushing his button but doesn't and neither does anyone else. Adam is mad he didn't press his button. He gets some nice praise from the judges. They feel bad no one picked him. Next is Lex Land an Austin, TX gal who studied classical voice and has switched to jazz gigs for extra income. She teaches at girls rock camp. She is very nervous. She sings "I Can't Make You Love Me." Adam and Cee Lo turn almost simultaneously-- although Cee Lo did go first-- even though the performance is clearly showing her nerves and it gets worse. Blake eventually turns. Christina makes faces at some of the awkwardness of the performance. Cee Lo admits that there were pitch problems and he and Adam agree she got more nervous when they turned around. She picks Blake. Next up is Cameron Novack who considers himself a triple threat since he raps, sings pop and opera. He sings "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette. He's a little awkward and theatrical but the chorus is strong and flamboyant. He drops a little weird clip-clop beatboxing into the bridge. It is not enough to get anyone to turn. He drops a freestyle on them though good-naturedly. Cee Lo says he made a mistake and says he should've picked him. Adam asks if they can break the rules. The crowd chants "cheat,cheat,cheat" and Cee Lo says they can't it ruins the integrity of the show to break the rules. Cameron is angry and bummed.Carson goes on one of his field trips to give an invite to Orlando Napier who is from L.A. He had a misspent youth and did some time in jail. He plays in a band with his dad. He sings "Waiting on the World to Change" accompanying himself on piano. Adam turns almost immediately. He does a sort of bluesy, slow arrangement. The other coaches are unmoved. Adam's team is complete and he's thrilled.Next up is Lee Koch who works at a bakery and loves it. He wants to be a musician who bakes not a baker who pursues music. He sings "Like a Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan. He's fine. Adam likes him. Christina turns at the last minute. She loved his harmonica playing. She promises not to disappoint him even though they're an odd pairing.Next up is Wade an 18-year-old from Alabama who worships soul music. He says he mostly imitated other singers. His mom and grandma are very supportive. He sings "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse in a funky, Memphis-style arrangement. He shows off a good range low to high and doesn't sound imitative at all. Cee Lo presses his button first and is the only one who does. Cee Lo's team is now complete.Next up is Adley Stump a country singer from Oklahoma. She sings "I Don't Even Know His Last Name' by Carrie Underwood. It's okay, shaky on the ends of phrases like she doesn't have the best breath control, there a few clunkers too. Blake and Christina both turn at the end. They fight hard for her and Christina "jokingly" says Blake is not a real vocalist. She picks Blake.Blake's team is now complete so now everyone left needs to court Christina's favor.We see a montage of folks she rejects, deservedly as they all have pitch problems.The final auditioner and therefore one we know Christina picks is named Sera Hill. She's been singing she was six years old. She works at a front desk of a hotel. She sings "I'm Going Down" by Mary J. Blige. All the boys urge Christina to hit her button. She does. And then she grabs a microphone and sings a chorus with her and they trade runs and Sera is overwhelmed but cute and does well. Christina's team is now complete.We get a tease for the coaches prepping their teams for the battle rounds.
