Beth Spangler sings 'Best Thing I Never Had' (VIDEO)

Beth Spangler sang 'Best Thing I Never Had' on The Voice 2014 Season 7 Blind Auditions on Monday, October 6, 2014.

Beth works in a hospital with pediatrics from 0-18 years of age, but she wants to focus on music. She’s been singing her whole life, but there aren’t a whole lot of opportunities in her small town of Aiken, SC. She drivers three hours to Atlanta to seek opportunities and book gigs, and while everyone expects her to sing country, she sings plenty of other genres. She gets teary-eyed talking about her father, who lost his leg in a motorcycle accident. Her father says she doesn’t need to be a star for him, but he wants her to be one for her. He says he’ll never quit loving her, and it’s a pretty touching little moment. I like Beth already, and I swear it’s not just because she’s absolutely gorgeous (although it might have a little something to do with it).

Beth sings “Best I Never Had”, and I’m wondering if she had trouble hearing herself at the start of the song, since she had her hand pressed to her ear throughout the entire first verse. But once the chorus hits, the vocal grows in confidence and power. It was a wonderful performance, and it earns the last four-chair turn of the Blind Auditions. Pharrell even stands up!

The coaches gave her a four chair turn.

Pharrell says he almost didn’t turn because he has a lot of soulful singers, but he turned because he wants her in particular. Adam says he’s made his name by not fitting in, and what he loves about Beth is that she doesn’t necessarily fit into one category. Gwen, meanwhile, walks up to Beth and tells her that they have a lot in common as girls. She even offers to hook her up with clothes, which Adam declares “Shameless!” Blake pleads with Beth to join Team Blake, promising her that it’s the right decision. But Pharrell, who’s never stopped staring at her nor taken his seat, says Beth needs someone who’s going to stay standing up for her. He accuses the other coaches of talking the talk, while he actually walks the walk. Dude, Pharrell is such a freakin’ charmer. I love this guy. That said, I don’t expect her to pick him, although I’m not sure why other than a vague hunch I have that she won’t.
