DaNica Shirey sings 'Help Me' (VIDEO)

DaNica Shirey (Team Pharrell Williams) sang 'Help Me' on The Voice 2014 Season 7 Live Playoffs Night 2 on November 11, 2014.

This was a tremendous vocal, although a bit too heavy on the runs towards the end. And the arrangement didn't make DaNica feel current or relevant at all, although I suppose you could make the case that she has a ready-made market in the Adult Contemporary genre. Either way, her tone is outstanding, so I can't fault anyone for voting for her. Hell, I'm probably going to. I've loved DaNica since her blind audition, and while this wasn't the blowaway I was hoping it would be, I still thought DaNica did a great job.

Gwen notes that her sister is here, and that they both love Joni Mitchell, and loved DaNica's take on the Joni Mitchell song. She encourages everyone watching at home to check out Joni Mitchell, since she's a genius. Adam thinks it's amazing how DaNica and Pharrell were able to flip a Joni Mitchell track and make it sound like something out of Chaka Khan's song catalog. Blake, who doesn't know the song and gets ragged on for it, says he loved what DaNica did up there. Pharrell concludes by stating DaNica is a "songbird".

But what do you think of DaNica Shirey?
