'The Voice' Finalists: Meet Team Adam and Watch Their Auditions
by Andy NeuenschwanderWith the battle rounds concluded, "The Voice" now has its 24 finalists who will all be going on to the live rounds. Each mentor has whittled their team down to six contestants... but if you don't know who they are, you can watch their auditions here!
Team Adam is built with a few power singers and some more unique voices. Mentor Adam Levine went a little female-heavy during the battle rounds, too, eliminating three of only five men on his team. Okay, maybe the single-named Pip is more of a boy than a man, but you get what I mean.
Who has the best chance of making the top four? The aforementioned Pip has a strong, precise voice, but there isn't a ton of character to it. Still, his unique image might help him with voters. Tony Lucca has already had a little bit of success outside of the competition, and might get some votes from existing fans as well.
Kim Yarbrough seems like she belongs more on Team Christina with her powerful belting style, but here she is. She could be a wild card here, but it depends on what Adam does with her. In all likelihood, she won't be making it to the final.
Same goes for Karla Davis, who didn't make enough of an impression to warrant an airing of her full audition... we got a quick clip as part of a montage, and then we didn't see her again until her batlle. She made an impression there and got the attention of Adam, but probably still won't get too far with her nerves.
Katrina Parker surprisingly won out over Angel Taylor, and could be a surprise. However, there might not be enough about her that's interesting vocally to get her the votes she'll need.
That leaves Mathai, who may be the favorite to represent Team Adam in the final. This is "The Voice," and it's not supposed to be about appearances, but once we start getting into these on-stage performances, they definitely come into play. Mathai is completely comfortable on stage, and has a relaxed and slightly flirty approach to her songs. Plus, she has the sort of unique tone that this show and its fans tend to favor... just look at Dia Frampton.
Check out the auditions of all the contestants on Team Adam below, and be sure to meet Team Blake, Team Christina and Team Cee Lo as well.
