Battle three of The Voice this weekend
Up first on Sunday night’s show Patrick Loewen (33) Galway and Waterford lad Nicky Wicks (24). When Patrick heard he was singing with Nicky he was a little crushed. ‘he is the guy you want to sit with on the bus’ Nicky is definitely a force to be reckoned with, a quirky personality and during his blind audition he rocked the house turning all four chairs. Coach Bressie has given them Higher Ground to sing.
The next battle is between student lawyer Lola Arisekola (20) from Laois and junior doctor Emmett Daly (26) from Limerick. Both acts really impressed our coaches in the blinds both securing a 4 coach turn. With the soul pop combo that both of them bring to the competition Una is sure this is going to be a great battle, she has given them Stole the Show by Kygo.
Rachel has put Sara Moore (34) with Caoimhe McCarthy (19) because they are really good singers, and with so many good female vocalists in the competition Rachel is hoping they will show what sets them apart from the others. Singing Rihanna’s Unfaithful, Rachel encourages to go and cheat on their boyfriend!!!
It’s the turn of team Kian next, and he has paired Sligo lass Kelesa Mulcahy (33) with Clare native Clodagh Lawlor (22), Kelesa has known Kian since childhood and Clodagh is a huge Westlife fan they will be singing Kian feels Kelesa is over performing a little it could fall fault…
It’s the turn of Team Rachel again with Frenchman Loic Bontemps who is studying in Dublin and Mayo native Erin Rice. Erin has an old school vibe and Loic is a suave Frenchman, who will Rachel choose?
Una’s next battle paring involves two of her young female singers – 19 year old Fiona Garvey from Skerries and 25 year old Tara Brown from Laois. Una is worried because they are both holding back… can they pull it off on stage in the Helix? Una is expecting a massive improvement for the performance. She also comes under huge criticism for choosing a HAIM song for the girls…the other 3 coaches feel it was a bad song choice.
Una is really not happy with the other coaches’ comments, telling Kian how to pronounce Haim and he retorts by telling her he only listens to good music and to ‘calm yourself down’
Una I feel like it’s all my fault now
Kian: well it is your fault you picked the song
Una: I am going to stick for the girls you did so well in rehearsal.
Kian: we are not giving out about the girls we are giving out about you
The final battle of the night is on team Bressie who has pitted Mullingar native Michaela Hogg (18) with Waterford lass Moylan Brunnock (20). Moylan has a very quirky style of singing which Bressie loves and Michaela has promised him lifts home…who will he choose?
