Ethan Butler sings 'Beneath Your Beautiful' (VIDEO)

Ethan Butler sang 'Beneath Your Beautiful' on The Voice 2014 Season 7 Blind Auditions on Tuesday, September 30, 2014.

Ethan only heard gospel music while growing up, since his father was a pastor. However, his focus has been on secular music in recent years, which took his mother a while to get used to. He moved back home with his parents for the time being, but the bonus is that he gets to spend time with his sister, who has cerebral palsy and autism. She inspires him and reminds him that he can do way more than he even imagines. He’s dedicating his performance to her.

Ethan sings a jazzy version of “Beneath Your Beautiful”, and I love his voice. Just a wonderful, silky tone that is among the best of the season so far. That said, I’m not crazy about the song choice or the arrangement. It’s kind of a sleepy, relaxed take that was probably more interesting in theory than it’s been in execution. Still, this is a killer vocal.

The coaches give him a two chair turn.

Adam says it’s impressive for Ethan to play guitar like he did while maintaining such high quality vocals. Despite not turning their chairs, Gwen and Pharrell are happy Ethan decided to audition, since he has a terrific voice. Blake also loved the audition and thinks Ethan should be on his team. However, Ethan wants to know what he needs to work on. Blake feels he needs to work on standing out more, while Adam feels Ethan could stand to lose control more, in a good way.
