7 days one of The Voice battle times is over, and it appears like beginner trainer Usher's correct colours are newbie to bleed through.
The R&B vocalist came around as uber-laid back again and borderline cocky-cum-class clown during the blind auditions, wasting a lot of time nodding his head with one leg up on his chair trying to look like Mr. Cool. During the battle rounds last night, though, he started to show a different side of himself: One that's not quite as appealing to us.
'The Voice': Rolling Stone's Total Coverage
In a short however sweet episode, one of three featured battles belonged to Team Ursher, (as he occasionally pronounces his own name). He set Jeff Lewis against Josiah Hawley, two good-looking, self-confident guys. Baby-faced Lewis, who sang one of Usher's songs throughout the blind auditions, is an artist seeking for a 2nd chance after being decreased from his Interscope Records deal; while Hawley is a chiseled-jaw model who sang a Maroon 5 track. In a nutshell, neither of them lacks self-confidence, leaving a lot of ego – including Usher's – to press in to one testing room.
Through the get-go, Jeff seemed to rub his coach the wrong way by wearing a perpetual smirk while rehearsing "Roxanne" by the Police. When Jeff cracked a smile and laughed after flubbing a line, Usher had had enough, sternly asking, "Is this funny to you? You gotta take this serious." And he wasn't joking. He appeared genuinely pissed that this guy wasn't laser-focused and in awe of being in his mere existence.
That will disdain looked to carry over onto the stage, as Usher gave some serious stink-eye as Jeff smiled his way through the song. It was an easy win for Josiah, who had a decent voice to go along with his Abercrombie & Fitch-like sex appeal – and the loss for Jeff rapidly wiped the smirk right off his face for the 1st time. Mess with the bull, you get the boot.
Within an additional slight outburst, though not as obvious, Usher got a little huffy when he had to go head-to-head with Adam Levine for a grab.
To get some stupid reason, Blake Shelton paired two of his cutest contestants together – 18-year-old singer/songwriter Caroline Glaser and doe-eyed 16-year-old country girl Danielle Bradbery. The two girls don't have as much experience as some of the other contestants in the competition, but you'd never ever understand it.
Shakira called their duet of Corinne Bailey Rae's "Put Your Records On" as "refreshing as tangerine ice cream" while Adam lamented that he couldn't believe he didn't turn his chair for Caroline's "ethereal and magical voice" during the shades.
However as soon as Blake crowned Danielle the victor, Adam obtained a chance to right his incorrect by pushing his button to steal. Simply thing is, Usher beat him by a millisecond. So, when host Carson Daly asked Adam to plead his case first, Usher wasn't having it. "I hit my button first!" he protested while jumping out of his seat. In a desperate attempt to come out on top, Usher then stole Adam's "I'll set myself on fire if I don't have you" line, which fell level.
In the finish, Adam indeed got the leg up as Caroline chose to be on his crew. Backstage, Usher bristled by her as he stormed off to his room to drown himself in a pint of ice cream. (OK, we adorned that part. But you never understand.)
Additional artists creating the cut were individual dad and firefighter Warren Stone for Team Adam, country singer Grace Askew for Team Blake, North Carolina model Audrey Karrasch for Team Usher and Nashville artist Tawnya Reynolds regarding Crew Shakira.
Following full week, as the battle rounds keep on, we'll view just how this whole new Attitude Usher shows up. Possibly he was just getting a bad day?
