Duets - S01E04 - Party Songs.mp4
Plot Summary: "Duets" - Party Songs - June 14, 2012Theme: Party SongsnContestant/Coach: Jason Farol/Kelly Clarkson They watch back last week's performance and see there were flat bits. Kelly coaches him on stage presence and moving to the music. Song: "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" the Rolling StonesPerformance: She has a lot more energy than he does. He sounds okay but he seems nervous and looks to her a lot. It's also not a great duet song. She blows him out of the water with her verse. The band is also pretty overpowering. nJudging: Jennifer thought it was his best performance so far and she notes he's young and has a lot of room to grow. John thougt it was his most effective vocal so far. He was of two minds about the movement with some of it organic and some of it forced. Robin agrees it was his best so far and he thinks his nerves are starting to go away.nContestant/Coach: Bridget Carrington/John Legend John discusses his and Bridget's similar backgrounds in business and he tries to build her confidence. He jokes that he has to figure out how to cry like Jennifer. Song: "Last Dance," Donna SummerPerformance: The beginning eels a little low for Bridget. They play off each other well in the sultry beginning and when the song picks up the tempo they get down very naturally. It's very cute.Judging: Kelly loved the end and thought it was cute and sexy but she wants to see more of her looking out at the audience. Jennifer is surprised that these are turning out to be so great since they were worried about party songs. Robin respects her passion when she performs, he wants to see her have more fun.Contestant/Coach: J. Rome/Jennifer Nettles She wants to hold on to their number ones status. He wants to make everyone dance this week since he made them all cry last week. Song: "PYT," Michael JacksonPerformance: This is a great song for both of their voices. Plus, it's a lot of fun and suits JNet's personality. He may ebe overdoing it with the MJ-style hat and gloves but he can move. It both sounds and looks good and professional, the best performance so far.Judging: Kelly didn't like that it looked like an MJ impersonation. Robin thinks he belongs on the stage and will just be a stepping stone. John says it gets old telling him how great he is every week and just to watch getting too nasal.nContestant/Coach: Olivia Chisholm/Robin Thicke Robin brought his son to the rehearsal and he's adorable. She didn't like watching her teammate Alexis go home last week. He wants her to connect with the lyrics.Song: "Let's Stay Together," Al GreenPerformance: She has a great husky tone and meshes well with his falsetto. It's all very sexy as the stage is flooded with dry ice and they sip faux martinis and Robin goes with the tux and the undone bow tie look. Judging: John likes when she sounds smooth but thinks she needs to show a little more power. Kelly thinks she has amazing breath control and to be careful of pitch issues. Jennifer thought it was great.nContestant/Coach: Jordan Meredith/Kelly Clarkson Kelly forces her to watch herself be amazing last week so she can replicate last week's greatness and attitude. Song: "I Love Rock and Roll," Joan JettPerformance: With cheesy backing dancers faking playing guitar Jordan struts out and starts it off low and funky. Kelly comes out and they amp it up. Jordan even lets out a little Joan-ish howl. Judging: Jennifer felt her nerves in places but thought it was mostly great. Robin thought her sultry, bluesiness last week was more fun and he didn't really feel her as a rocker. John thinks she should just sing barefoot as they all agree that her teetering around on stilettos was probably hampering her. Contestant/Coach Meleana Brown/John Legend: John is excited that they're doing a song by one of the other judges. He thinks it's a risk. She's nervous.Song: "Since U Been Gone," Kelly ClarksonPerformance: They sound great and it's a cute idea for both of them. The chorus harmony is a little rough and the band is too loud but they're having fun. Judging: Kelly loved it and she knows it's a hard song to sing and it was a little pitchy but she loved the surprise. Jennifer loved her attitude and energy and heard a little pitchiness. Robin is swimming in a barrel of emotion he says from John singing the song and he loved that Meleana came out of her shell.Contestant/Coach: John Glosson/Jennifer Nettles Jennifer wants to show he can be fun and be upbeat and not just sing ballads. Song: "Life is a Highway," Rascal FlattsPerformance: He meets his goal and shows he can be cute and fun onstage and of course they sound great together. Judging: Kelly thought it was the perfect song and was glad that she felt him and not just Jennifer. Robin thinks that his voice is so good he doesn't have to try as hard as physically, like he and John don't dance and says not to worry so much about it. John thought he was great and told him not to pull his mic away on the big notes. nRankings:1st J Rome2nd Bridget Carrington3rd John Glosson4th Jordan Meredith5th Jason Farol6th Meleana Brown7th Olivia ChisholmnSing Off Meleana vs. OliviaMeleana sings Whitney Houston's "Saving All My Love For You." It is solid if unspectacular. Olivia sings Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me." She sounds more tremulous but has more energy and spark. It feels like she wants it more.
