The Voice Recap: Usher’s Suspenseful Final Steal is Cierra Mickens (3/25/14)
Now it can be said: Usher has a penchant for suspense and he did it with such gusto on The Voice’s final battle night. So you can imagine the interspersed emotions that Cierra Mickens (photo in this recap) went through in a span of seconds: from the time Shakira dropped her from the team to the moment Usher pushed his button for a steal. The result was nonetheless dramatic and to a certain extent, very pleasurable to see the Alaskan powerhouse overwhelmed with relief for a chance to move on to the next round. For Usher, his belief in Cierra has...

For the first time in The Voice‘s history, the battle round returns where the survivors of the first round in every team tackle each other the 2nd time around.

The Voice Recap: Sisaundra Lewis Profoundly Impresses Chris Martin (4/1/14)
Last season was all about Tessanne Chin’s out-of-this world vocals. Tonight, Sisaundra Lewis claimed the vacated spot on The Voice and made a believer out of anyone who heard her onslaught to a James Brown classic. Early on, Chris Martin sensed Sisaundra’s brilliance, hailing her as one of the few singers who can empower a song. Sisaundra’s battle with Biff Gore (stolen from Team Usher) was larger than life: she slickly tackled the lower and upper ranges, found her big moments (that long note towards the end was a killer) and bitingly accentuated the ironic truth behind It’s a Man’s,...

The Voice Recap: Dawn & Hawkes Fade in Kat Perkins’ Presence (4/7/14)
The final night of The Voice’s 2nd round of battles was a sad one with the departure of Dawn & Hawkes (photo in this recap) from the competition. I’ve been a big Dawn & Hawkes fan since their blind audition and was hoping that they can finally bring out all their dreamlike singing on the second round of the battles. Unfortunately, they had to go head to head with the equally charming rocker Kat Perkins. From start to finish, Kat was engaged in the song and with the audience while keeping her vocals in check. She surely listened well to mentor...

The Voice is currently in the Playoffs where the mentors make another cut in their teams, reducing each 5-strong group to just three before heading to the live shows. Blake Shelton endured the weight of decision-making ahead of everyone and the result was rather surprising when he decided to keep Audra McLaughlin and Jake Worthington in his team, two country singers that he initially thought would vie for just one spot. Blake’s pre-playoffs team composition was perhaps the strongest he’s had through the years, having assembled one supreme power vocalist (Sisaundra Lewis), three solid runners-up (Audra, Jake and rocker Ryan...
