Amanda Lee Peers sings 'Put the Gun Down' (VIDEO)

Amanda Lee Peers sang 'Put the Gun Down' on The Voice 2014 Season 7 Blind Auditions on Tuesday, September 30, 2014.

Amanda’s family is born-again Christian, and she was brought up in the church. However, her upbringing made it difficult for her to come out to her family as gay. Before long, she felt like she was no longer accepted at her church after coming out, and so she left. Unfortunately, she associated music with church, so she gave music up for a while. But she inevitably decided to pick it back up, forming a band that had a pretty good run. She now performs solo, and has done a number of gigs. Her girlfriend, Sandy, encouraged her to try out for The Voice, and the support means everything to Amanda.

Amanda sings “Put the Gun Down” by ZZ Ward, and it’s a really good vocal that’s like a fusion of blues and rock. She’s the kind of vocalist who should appeal to Gwen, but who could also fit in nicely on Blake’s team. I thought this was a really solid vocal, and I feel I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that Amanda is absolutely gorgeous. She looks like a star, even wearing white jeans and plaid.

The coaches gave her a one chair turn.

Gwen loves Amanda, and runs right over to hand her a Team Gwen shirt. Blake flirted with pressing his button, but never did. However, Pharrell openly expresses his regret for not pressing his button, saying that he got so caught up in listening to her sing that he forgot to actually press for her. Adam says he got “Gwen’d”, since Gwen scooped Amanda up almost immediately.
