Taylor Brashears sings 'Long Time Gone' (VIDEO)
Taylor Brashears sang 'Long Time Gone' on The Voice 2014 Season 7 Live Playoffs #1 on November 10, 2014.
So Taylor hits the stage, and I just love how classic and old-fashioned her voice sounds. I've compared her to Loretta Lynn in the past, and I feel the comparison is apt, and now just because Lynn herself seems to recognize it as well. Taylor isn't the best singer on Blake's team (in fact, I think she might actually be the weakest), but this performance had tons of character and personality to it. I thoroughly enjoyed this. She nailed the fiddle opening too.
Pharrell loves Taylor, saying it doesn't matter what year or era her songs are from, she manages to keep her music fresh and interesting. Gwen is shocked at how comfortable Taylor looks up there. She then notes the huge tattoo on Taylor's thigh, which was visible when she flipped her skirt up, which I didn't catch at all. She shows the tattoo (there are apparently two of them), and one is a pinup model and I couldn't make out the other. But they both look like they belong on the side of a World War II fighter jet. Adam says he's a fan of Taylor and always has been, while Blake talks about how happy he is with what Taylor did up there. He should be. That was a really fun, sassy performance.
But what do you think of Taylor Brashears?
