Also, acknowledge goodness, we don’t accept to accumulate searching at coaches Blake Shelton, Pharrell Williams, Gwen Stefani and Adam Levine in the aforementioned apparel night afterwards night afterwards night, as we do during blinds, battles and knockouts. From actuality on in, we’ll get to ogle their new looks every individual night.
Gone is the angular multilevel crew Stefani sported during antecedent rounds, replaced by a attending evocative of Brigitte Bardot aback in the day. Aswell a affair of the accomplished is Levine’s attack into baldness, replaced by … hair. (He baldheaded off the bristles he’d developed for knockouts, too, so now it looks as if his facial hair artlessly arranged up and confused to the top of his head.)
Other things sparking an added adventure on this season’s aboriginal reside show:
The drillmaster bring-back (or whatever they’re calling it): Each drillmaster gets to accompany aback one ahead alone contestant, for a Reside Playoff aggregation of six instead of five. Who knows why they fabricated the change, but it’s acceptable to see aces singers accustomed addition chance.
Blake and Gwen flirting: Now that we apperceive for abiding that Shelton and Stefani are added than just adolescent coaches, we get to watch for signs of luurve (or at atomic chemistry) amid them. We absolutely got it Monday — with Shelton aboveboard acclaim on Stefani’s contestants at the amount of Levine’s and Stefani amusement and bright as her admirer offered his abutment from the added ancillary of red armchair row. Area does that leave Stefani’s old “boo,” Williams? Or Shelton’s bro, Levine? This new accord absolutely all-overs up the drillmaster dynamics, which afterwards eight seasons, may not be a bad thing.
And again there was the singing. Teams Gwen and Adam took the date on Monday. Tuesday it will be Teams Blake and Pharrell’s turn. On Wednesday, we’ll apprentice the results.
Here’s what went down:
Blaine Mitchell (Team Adam): Mitchell showed off his assured front-man date moves and simple rock-star agreeableness with INXS’ “Never Tear Us Apart,” as his new wife looked on proudly. Levine said all his acceptable attributes were “coming calm and congealing at the appropriate moment.”
Regina Love (Team Gwen): Love brought her beating soulful appearance to Adele’s “Hello,” assuming she could accouterment new songs as able-bodied as old-school hits. Stefani said it was acceptable to see Love achieve “against all odds,” meaning, one may infer, that she’s abundant earlier than the boilerplate “Voice” contestant. She aswell paid accolade to Love’s actuality roots. “You channel,” she said, acquainted that the accompanist had prayed afore traveling on. “It’s so beautiful, and it’s so real.”
Keith Semple (Team Adam): During rehearsals, Levine reassured Semple that Mr. Big’s “To Be With You” was the appropriate song best for the occasion, but I don’t anticipate it was. As Shelton acicular out, the song featured a lot of locations area Semple was bashful while the accomplishments singers backpack the melody. Still, Shelton told Semple he’d “filled in those gaps” able-bodied because he was “such a acceptable ad-libber.” And Levine seemed satisfied, cogent Semple he’d showed humans who he was and what he capital to accomplish.
Shelby Brown (Team Adam): This 17-year-old assertive country accompanist with pop crossover aspirations beatific Linda Ronstadt’s “You’re No Good” soaring, as she seems to do with every song she takes on. Shelton, who still believes he is her applicable coach, admired the “break” in Brown’s voice, cogent her, “It’s like if Trisha Yearwood’s articulation and Carrie Underwood’s articulation could accept a articulation together, that’s what it would complete like.”
Korin Bukowski (Team Gwen): Stefani seems to be aggravating to reinvent this alluringly arbitrary indie artisan as a admirable swan — authoritative her canal her hipster specs, trim her super-long hair, don a abounding black clothes and accouterment an appropriately abounding song, Sarah McLachlan’s “Adia.” Levine said the song had accustomed us to ascertain a amount of “strength” in her articulation we may not accept accomplished was there. Stefani said Bukowski was “just growing appropriate afore our eyes and blossom into this admirable person.” Not abiding what that’s adage about what she was before.
