During last night's Live Performances on NBC's The Voice, we watched 12 finalists from each team perform live for America. My favorite performance of the night was definitely Chris Mann's rendition of the classic Simon & Garfunkel tune, "Bridge Over Troubled Water."
I respect his crisp classical vocal technique along with the stylizations that he added to his phrasing. Although he added adlibs and riffs, it was still simple and heartfelt. His power and clarity of tone is just gorgeous. I was carried away by his voice. His performance literally brought tears to my eyes and lifted my spirits up in a way that was inspiring and motivational.
His voice is in my opinion "The Voice" that we are looking for. However, it is clear that he is a very talented balladeer, and I am weary to see how he can fit his powerful voice into an uptempo song.
Best performance of the night.. looking forward to hearing more.
Don't forget to catch the show's first Live Eliminations tonight at 9pm!
Who should stay? Who should go home?
