"The Voice": Ladies' Night

posted in: Music News

The boys have brought an insane amount of energy, passion and skill to this season of The Voice. From Jesse Campbell and Anthony Evans, Jr., to Pip and Tony Lucca, Season 2 has been ripe with talent from a fresh crop of male vocalists.

Last night’s episode, however, was all about the ladies. Sure, there were still some solid performances from the guys (Jonathas and Jermaine Paul both tore it up), but we were extremely impressed by the matchups of Katrina Parker and Angel Taylor on Leona Lewis’ “Bleeding Love” and Erin Willett and Gwen Sebastian on Pat Benatar’s “We Belong.”

The best thing about these battles is how different each singer’s voice was from their competitor’s. When judging time came, Parker’s Adele-like pipes triumphed over Taylor’s pop stylings, while Erin Willett’s deep and powerful belt outshone Sebastian’s country twang. Winner and losers aside, though, we were treated to two fantastic battles from four very talented women, all of whom we’ll expect to hear more from in the future. Check out both battles below and get ready for the final round next week!
