Damien sings 'It's So Hard To Say Goodbye' on The Voice 2014 (Video)

Damien sang 'It's So Hard To Say Goodbye' on The Voice 2014 Season 7 Blind Auditions on Monday, September 22, 2014.

Damien works for TSA at LAX, and he recalls the shooting at LAX that made national headlines. He recalls watching his partner get shot in the leg, while another co-worker lost his life. He sang at the funeral (and we get a clip, a rather lovely performance of “I Believe I Can Fly”), and he breaks down recalling how hard it was. Well, at the very least, from the brief clip we saw, we know he’s good.

The coaches gave him a four chair turn.

Damien explains that he’s so used to hearing “no” that it simply feels good to see them turn around for him. Pharrell tells him to see this as “four confirmations” of his talent. Adam tells Damien his TSA career is over, since now he’s a professional singer. Gwen pleads her case, and says that she’s been around talented guys all her life, and that they both can learn from each other. Adam, meanwhile, says he loved the emotion Damien expresses, and pleads with him to give a “yes”. Blake compares Damien to Bill Withers, and that’s actually quite a great comparison. “I love you, please pick me,” Blake says, desperate to get the first member of his team set in stone. Pharrell wants to reiterate that Damien really does deserve four chairs.
