“He does not back down from any song,” noted his coach. Though he was determined to unleash “the beast in me,” he didn’t seem to really connect emotionally with the song, and when he went for what were supposed to be the massive, showoffy notes, it sounded less passionate than just not pretty.Īndrew Sevener (Team Blake), “She Got the Best of Me” - Grade: B- | My favorite of Blake’s country guys sounded in rehearsal like he was gonna slay his Luke Combs cover. Before he went on, I wondered whether, since he strikes me as more popera than pop, the Nick Jonas number that his admirers chose him was a mistake.
