Night 2 of The Voice auditions was just as good as last night's post-Superbowl edition.
Hailey & Leland, known as the duo "the Line" went first. They have good voices. All 4 judges turned. Xtina won yet another contestant. She's on a roll.
We got Bronx resident Jamar Rogers' backstory and he's had a rough life but is trying to rise above his past. He has a good voice. Only Cee Lo turned but that was all he wanted as he was a very big fan of Cee Lo's.
Neal Middleton went next. He had a familiar theme on this show where a lot of singers come on here as a last chance or validation of their talent after sacrificing for so many years without breaking through. Unfortunately, that's an all too true reality of trying to make it in music BUT you must, NEVER, NEVER, EVER give up! He had a real cool look and a good voice. No one turned for him which made me sad. I can understand their critique that he sounded like he was turned up to 10 the whole song though. I hope he doesn't stop, he does have talent.
Another singer that had been previewed in commercials was next. Gwen Sebastian did Sugarland's powerful song "Stay". Again, we got another backstory of how much she has sacrificed for her art, even waiting on starting a family. You do what you must to follow your dream. She has a nice voice (although I was expecting more based on what I had heard in the commercials). She is a real sweet girl and her desire is evident so I'm glad that all except Xtina turned for her. Being a country girl, she went with the obvious and Blake won.
50 year old Kim Yarbrough was next. She does not look her age and her mentality definitely feels that age is only a number. I loved her attitude and spirit. She has a very good voice and it was no wonder that Xtina & Adam turned and fought for her. Adam won. Strong win for his team.
Ex-soldier Angie Johnson was next. She did Pat Benatar's "Heartbreaker" which isn't an easy song to do. She was very good and has a great look as well. She has the total package and can go very far in this even if she doesn't win. Surprisingly only Cee Lo turned based on her voice. She's definitely a strong member to his team.
I really liked Lindsey Pavao's voice and vibe, she did a very creative interpretation of the song she chose. All except Adam turned, Xtina won her to her team.
Jermaine Paul was next. I thought he was good. Blake and Cee Lo turned for him, Blake won.
Angel Taylor was last on the show. Her backstory was of a hard life. She sang Adele and showed a good voice. Everyone except Xtina turned for her, Adam won.
