Taylor Phelan sings 'Sweater Weather' on The Voice 2014 (VIDEO)

Taylor Phelan sang 'Sweater Weather' on The Voice 2014 Season 7 Blind Auditions on Tuesday, September 23, 2014.

Taylor was once part of a successful indie rock band. However, when his daughter was born, he realized he couldn't be the kind of father he needed to be for his daughter while still being in the band, so he quit. He credits his mother for the quality of life he's enjoyed, since she worked as a single mom to give him a shot at a better life. His father was in and out of jail, and they never really had a relationship, which is why his mother is so proud of him, since he's a great father despite never having had an example of fatherhood himself. Taylor says his goal is to provide a better life for his family, in the same way his mother did for him.

Taylor sings 'Sweater Weather', and this is a very complete performance. Not only is his voice absolutely stellar, he's got some cool movements while performing, as possessed by the rhythm. I loved this to pieces, even though 'Sweater Weather' has never been my favorite song, really. Could Taylor be a real threat in the competition? Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he became a contender for the title.

Watch the audition video below:

ADAM, GWEN, BLAKE and PHARRELL turn their chairs!

-The coaches fall over themselves trying to win Taylor's approval, with Gwen again bringing up having been in a band all her life, while Pharrell gives Taylor a standing O, and Blake and Adam extol the virtues of their mentorship. It's kind of a free-for-all, since Taylor could realistically fit in with any of the four coaches. He makes his decision...

TAYLOR PHELAN chooses PHARRELL WILLIAMS!
