Tess Boyer - The Voice 2014 - Human - Video

Tess Boyer sang "Human" on The Voice 2014 Season 6 Playoffs for Team Shakira.

Preparation

Tess recounts her up-and-down journey through the competition, from Team Usher to Team Blake to Team Shakira. Blake notes that he and Usher basically handed Shakira one of the best voices in the competition. In fact, between Blake's comments and Usher's, it's rare for any coaches to be this high about an act they didn't keep. Tess reveals she's chosen "Human" by Christina Perri, and talks about some of the difficulties of being a pageant girl, and how people have certain preconceptions. She sounds a bit shaky in rehearsal, actually, but it evens out nicely in the live performance. The chorus allows her vocals to soar, although she gets a little hoarse in her upper register. But I think that crying sound adds a lot to the performance, in terms of communicating the rawness and emotion of it all.
