Bryana Salaz sings 'Heart Attack' (VIDEO)
Bryana Salaz sang 'Heart Attack' on The Voice 2014 Season 7 Knockout Round on Monday, October 27, 2014 for Team Gwen Stefani against Sugar Joans.
Bryana damn near loses her mind to see Taylor Swift there. After having a gushing session, they work on the song, which is “Heart Attack” by Demi Lovato. Bryana sounds great, but has trouble connecting, since she’s never actually had a boyfriend before. Taylor offers good advice about the shoutiness of the song, suggesting she go up into her falsetto during the chorus to avoid straining. She puts this advice into practice, and it ends up being a lovely, lilting little vocal that makes Bryana a potential threat against a singer the caliber of Sugar.
Speaking of Sugar, she’ll be singing “Love On Top” by Beyonce, saying she loves the old soul quality of it. However, Gwen is a little surprised, since Sugar already did a Beyonce song. But Taylor is all-in on Sugar, calling her an amazing performer. Gwen feels the most important thing here is “uniqueness,” so she wants people to feel that from Sugar, who’s already a great singer. Her growl sounds great on this song, but honestly, I think it’s the wrong song. Her voice sounds strained in places. Hopefully, though, this is worked out by the time the actual knockout duel occurs.

Adam calls it a choice between “ridiculously incredible” and “unbelievably amazing,” and he has no idea what Gwen is going to do. He says “taste-wise,” he has more in common with Sugar, but this is just too close for him to call. Blake essentially says the same thing as Adam, but in the “in-bred way,” prompting Adam to remark that Blake is doing his job for him by insulting himself (I was wondering when we’d get more Blake vs. Adam. I know some people are really sick of it, but I find it charming). Pharrell loved both girls, but notes that if Sugar goes anywhere, he’s going to push his button so hard. Gwen is similarly positive about both girls, swearing to Carson that she honestly has no idea who she’s going to pick.
