Menlik Zergabachew sings 'Could You Be Loved' (VIDEO)

Menlik Zergabachew sang 'Could You Be Loved' on The Voice 2014 Season 7 Knockout Round on Monday, November 3, 2014 for Team Pharrell Williams against Jean Kelley.

Menlik is singing "Could You Be Loved" by Bob Marley, and he's enthusiastic to finally be singing straight reggae. Pharrell likes Menlik's voice, but thinks he's in his own world and shutting the audience out. Taylor notes that when he closes his eyes, the audience can't see what he's feeling. "A singer sings for himself, but a performer performs for everyone else," Taylor notes, in one of the best pieces of advice I've ever heard on this show. Seriously, I'm sounding like a broken record here, but we need this woman on the show all the time.

Menlik does a hell of a job, delivering what I think is his most vibrant performance yet. He's grooving up there, and it's really infectious. Jean is probably the better singer, but I think there's an argument to be made for putting Menlik through just on the uniqueness he offers. Nobody else in the competition is really doing what he does, and I think he could end up being pretty popular if he makes it to live voting rounds. If nothing else, he's an artist with a clear, defined identity, and that's worth a lot in a competition like this.
