Matt McAndrew sings 'A Thousand Years' (VIDEO)

Matt McAndrew sang 'A Thousand Years' on The Voice 2014 Season 7 Blind Auditions on Monday, October 6, 2014.

The Philadelphia native teaches voice and guitar lessons, while also sharing an apartment with his sister and mother. He juggles all his time commitments with gigging around the city. He wants to win The Voice in order to give back to his mother, since he wants to be able to take care of her. He has lots of tattoos and jokes about possibly renting out space on his body if he wins The Voice. I like him already, because the guy has a good heart. Not that this is a rare quality in a lot of auditioners (it’s actually kind of surprising how no one ever seems to be a jerk on this show), but I feel it’s worth noting.

Matt sings “A Thousand Years” and while I didn’t love the audition, I did like it very much. Matt has a wonderful, unique tone to his voice. I’m actually surprised at how quickly he’s able to get the male judges’ chairs turning, as his voice builds to a crescendo along with the song. But when gets to that crescendo, it’s tremendous.

The coaches give him a three chair turn.

Adam loves Matt’s uniqueness, while Gwen compliments his tone. Pharrell and Adam then get into an argument about collaboration, as Pharrell states that if you ask anyone, they’ll tell you that he leaves his ego at the door. However, Blake says he’s a solo artist and doesn’t give a crap about collaboration. He tries to get Matt to come to Team Blake.
