Craig Wayne Boyd sings 'Can't You See' (VIDEO)
Craig Wayne Boyd sang 'Can't You See' on The Voice 2014 Season 7 Knockout Round on Monday, November 3, 2014 for Team Gwen Stefani against Anita Antoinette.
Craig feels this will be a special performance since his son will be in the audience. He's singing "Can't You See" by Marshall Tucker Band, since he needs to be able to draw Gwen into his "realm", considering Gwen already has common ground with Anita. Taylor thinks Craig should sing out the chorus to the audience more, and should preach at the audience more. "Be in it! Take us to church!" she tells him. Gwen wants to modernize Craig's look and make him look the way she would want him to look if she were going to makeout with him. Taylor latches onto this and says she wants to see him run through the song again without his jacket. This simple change seems to loosen him up a bit more onstage. Backstage, before the battle, we see Craig's new look, and it's pretty slick. His hair is shorter and he has less of a beard. It's more of a goatee now. It's not miles different from his original look, but it's new. And it works.
Craig delivers a pretty good performance. Actually, looking back, this is probably his best vocal. He outsings Anita on pretty much every level, and nearly outperforms her too. This was a tremendous delivery from Craig, particularly the closing note, complete with dramatic pause. I have no idea who should win this battle, but I have no argument against either artist advancing.
