Chris Jamison sings 'Gravity' (VIDEO)

Chris Jamison sang 'Gravity' on The Voice 2014 Season 7 Blind Auditions on Tuesday, September 30, 2014.

Chris is the campus mailman at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio. He’s a triplet to two sisters, and has been singing since hearing Beyonce’s “Listen” on the radio in fourth grade. His mother encouraged him to “do something with that voice,” and he proceeded to pursue musical theater in high school, landing a role as the Pepper Shaker in their production of Beauty and the Beast. While it wasn’t the role he was after, he committed to being the best Pepper Shaker he could be. Yet, the entire time, I found myself trying to remember if there even was a Pepper Shaker in Beauty and the Beast.

Chris sings John Mayer’s “Gravity”, and this is one of the most surprising auditions of the season so far. I never would have expected such a soulful voice to come out of such a shy-looking guy. There isn’t a single note of this that I didn’t love. Seriously. His falsetto is crazy. CRAZY! Blake and Pharrell turn their chairs early on, while Adam turns during the falsetto at the bridge. Gwen, however, doesn’t turn until the last second. But hey, she still turns.

The coaches give him a four chair turn.

Chris lists his influences, including Allen Stone, whom Adam knows personally. Adam says he tried to sign Allen to his label at one point, and uses this as an in-road to sell himself to Chris, saying it’s good to be with a coach who understands his influences. Gwen admits that she held out because she wasn’t sure, but the truth is that she doesn’t have a lot of guys on her team. Pharrell loves how Chris knows when to put the pedal to the metal, comparing him to a race car driver. Meanwhile, Blake feels he can help Chris grow. But so does Adam, saying there’s room for improvement, and noting that he can really help Chris.
