Tanner Linford sings 'When You Say Nothing At All' (VIDEO)

Tanner Linford sang 'When You Say Nothing At All' on The Voice 2014 Season 7 Blind Auditions on Tuesday, September 30, 2014.

Tanner is back after failing to get a chair turnaround in Season 6, and a flashback to his audition illustrates why, as his voice wavered on nearly every note. But this was clearly due to nerves. Since last time, he’s been asked to sing at fairs and at his prom, and his classmates loved it. He feels he’s grown since his last audition, as his voice is deeper and he’s a little bit taller. Perhaps this means greater confidence. One can hope, anyway.

Tanner sings “When You Say Nothing At All”, and it’s instantly better than his last audition. He sounds more confident, and he has greater control of his voice. He has some terrific notes here, and his voice is very pure and understated. I like him. Unfortunately, he’s not getting any chairs to turn. His family is pleading with the coaches to turn a chair, but as the song winds down, it becomes apparent that no one will turn, and his parents heave disappointed sighs.

The coaches give him a one chair turn.

Gwen is stunned, since she thought it was a girl singing. She tells Tanner his voice doesn’t match his look, but he was a pleasant surprise. Pharrell agrees, saying he was going to say “she poured her heart into it” before realizing it was a guy. Adam is happy for Tanner, saying he knew he could come back and do this. Blake congratulates Tanner and welcomes him to the team, saying he deserves to be here.
