Chris Jamison and Jonathan Wyndham sing 'Young Girls' (VIDEO)

Chris Jamison and Jonathan Wyndham sang 'Young Girls' by Bruno Mars on The Voice 2014 Season 7 Battle Round on Monday, October 13, 2014 for Team Adam Levine. Who won the battle?

Jonathan is speechless upon meeting Stevie Nicks, recalling that he has the vinyl of Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors. Stevie notes that The Voice is a very important show, since it’s very hard to make it in the music business today, although I’m wondering just how true that is, given the amount of different avenues available to artists now that weren’t before (YouTube, crowdfunding, talent shows, etc.). Adam gives the guys “Young Girls” by Bruno Mars, and Chris has a bit of trouble projecting more, while Jonathan is too emotional in his performance style. Stevie relays a piece of advice Michael Jackson gave her, noting that if the boys are prepared, confidence will follow.

In the rehearsal, Adam tells Chris not to bail on some of the high notes he goes for, while Jonathan is so deep into the vocal that he’s practically drowning Chris out with his voice. In rehearsals, it sounds like a bit of a mess, and it has me wondering if Adam didn’t make a big mistake in giving them this song, since it doesn’t seem to inherently match either of their voices. I suppose we’ll find out soon enough. On the way to the battle, the guys meet with Adam one last time, and he gets them running in place to loosen them up. He also reminds them to have fun out there, which I would imagine is much easier said than done, considering the stakes for these two.

Blake praises Chris on his projection, and Jonathan on how his voice just cuts through. Pharrell agrees about Jonathan, but adds that Chris impressively articulated every run. Gwen was also high on the performance, as it becomes obvious that Adam is going to have a really hard time choosing a winner.
