We’re almost done with The Voice auditions for season 13 and here’s how part 5 went down:
Chloe Kohanski (23 – Juliet, Tennessee)
“The Chain” by Fleetwood Mac
Team: Miley
Olivia Kay (13 – Edmond, Oklahoma)
“Ghost” by Ella Henderson
Team: PASSED
Dennis Drummond (27 – Nashville, Tennessee)
“She Talks to Angels” by The Black Crowes [watch the clip below]
Team: Blake
Yael’s Notes: A very special rendition of this song, that’s for sure. That voice was not what I expected to come out of such a tall and lanky body.
Rebecca Brunner (22 – Mason, Michigan)
“Believer” by Imagine Dragons
Team: Blake
Ignatius Carmouche (22 – Opelousas, Louisiana)
“Latch” by Sam Smith
Team: Jennifer
Yael’s Notes: Ignatius won Season 12’s Snapchat Voice competition!
Brandon Brown (19 – Bronx, New York)
“Georgia on My Mind” by Ray Charles
Team: Adam
Nathan Graham (27 – Chicago, Illinois)
“Nobody to Blame” by Chris Stapleton
Team: PASSED
Illiana Viramontes (18 – Brentwood, California)
“New Soul” by Yael Naim
Team: Miley
Yael’s Notes: Not one of my favorite performances of the night, might even say least impressive judge selected performance of the season so far – and not just because I’m not a fan of the song. That said, I think that Miley will be a great mentor and can turn this girl into a “new soul” (get it?)
Whitney Fenimore (28 – Tulsa, Oklahoma)
“Hold on We’re Going Home” by Drake ft. Majid Jordan
Team: Adam
Meagan McNeal (31 – Chicago, Illinois)
“Can’t Feel My Face” by The Weeknd [watch the clip below]
Team: Jennifer
Yael’s Notes: Seriously one of the strongest performances of the night! Can’t wait to see how she does on Team J-Hud.
Jon Mero (31 – Atlanta, Georgia)
“Versace on the Floor” by Bruno Mars
Team: Adam
Team Miley also added, Katrina Rose, 34, who sang Janis Joplin’s “Kozmic Blues.”
Team Blake added Natalie Stovall, 35, who sang The SteelDrivers’ “If It Hadn’t Been for Love,” along with Ryan Scripps, 24, who sang Sam Hunt’s “Body Like a Back Road.”
