Jessie Pitts sings 'Don't You Worry Child' (VIDEO)
Jessie Pitts sang 'Don't You Worry Child' by Swedish House Mafia on The Voice 2014 Season 7 Top 12 on Monday, November 17, 2014 for Team Blake Shelton.
I hate that I didn't love this, because I love Jessie. But pulling back on the falsetto in the chorus hurt her a bit, since I think those falsetto notes on the word "worry" are crucial to the song. I loved the luminescent white piano, and I loved how Jessie was styled, but man, did I not like the arrangement once the tempo picked up. Jessie sounded great as the song came to an end, but those last couple seconds of the song weren't enough to sell me on the track overall. Ugh, I wanted to love this so much.
Gwen loved it, and said she didn't even know Jessie played piano. She liked hearing it broken down like that, and feels there's nothing she can do wrong at this point. Adam liked the performance, and encourages her to keep exploring "the big part" of her voice. Blake feels it's clear that Jessie deserves to be here, and said if the show was called The Artist, she'd still deserve to be here. He compares her to Miranda Lambert, in her artistry. And he's right about her artistry and talent. But I just wasn't feeling this, unfortunately. I still plan on voting for her though, because I love her and want to see her stick around. I can only hope she gets another chance.
But what do you think of Jessie Pitts?
