Ryan Sill sings 'Miss Independent' (VIDEO)

Ryan Sill sang 'Miss Independent' on The Voice 2014 Season 7 Knockout Round on Monday, November 3, 2014 for Team Gwen Stefani against Beth Spangler.

Ryan is singing "Miss Independent" by Ne-Yo, and he feels he needs to take it to an entirely new level to be as good of a performer as Taylor Swift. She says that his cute boy charisma is his secret weapon, and he can be a real force to be reckoned with if he nails the big note towards the end. Ryan sounds really good here, even though I'm not sure this is a great song for a battle. Upbeat songs tend to lose if the opponent chooses a ballad. It doesn't always happen, but I get the feeling it happens more than some people realize.

Ryan sounds incredibly smooth here. His face is utterly lifeless though, like he's concentrating on not messing up. He's pacing around the stage and doing these overly rehearsed poses, and it all just feels a little stiff. Still, that vocal though. This is easily the best Ryan has sounded so far, in my opinion.
