Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Week two of the blind auditions on The Voice will feature four more saves, five singers who turned four chairs in the blind auditions and the return of York’s DaNica Shirey to The Voice stage.

In fact, DaNica’s battle round performance of “Halo” with Toia Jones is already being featured on The Voice website. And you can check it out below. It’s darn impressive. Will it result in both singers advancing? We’ll find out Monday or Tuesday night.

Meanwhile, week two of the blinds for Team Adam will feature a duel between two pop singers who turned four chairs during the blinds — Beth Spangler and Mia Pfirrman. Other four-chair turn singers still to be shown in the battle round include Anita Antoinette of Team Gwen, Blessing Offor of Team Pharrell and Damien Lawson of Team Adam.

Here’s a look at all of this week’s matchups. Check back Monday night. I’ll be blogging live as the action is aired.

Brittany Butler vs. Ricky Manning: Ricky Manning, 19, of Cape Coral, Fla., auditioned with “Love Me Again” and turned two chairs. Brittany Butler, 21, of Boston, Mass., auditioned with the 1960s hit “The Girl from Ipanema” and also turned a pair of chairs with her jazzy performance.

Blessing Offor vs. Katriz Trinidad: Blessing Offor, 25, of New York, sat at his keyboard and auditioned with Bill Withers’ “Just the Two of Us.” He turned four chairs. Katriz Trinidad, 15, of San Diego, Calif., turned to an old favorite — Etta James’ “At Last” — for her audition. She turned three chairs, though she indicated in a conference call with the media that Adam Levine’s team might have been full when she auditioned.

DaNica Shirey and Toia Jones: DaNica Shirey, 25, of York, Pa., auditioned with Jessie J’s “Big White Room.” She turned three chairs and became York County’s first-ever contestant on the show. Toia Jones, 29, of Montgomery, Ala., auditioned with Adele’s “One and Only.” She turned two chairs with a powerful performance of the song.

TEAM GWEN

Anita Antoinette vs. Mayra Alvarez: Anita Antoinette, 24, of Boston, Mass., auditioned with Bob Marley’s “Turn Your Lights Down Low.” She turned four chairs and wound up being the only four-chair turn member of Team Gwen.

Jessie Pitts vs. Ryan Sill: Jessie Pitts, 18, of Birmingham, Ala., auditioned with Brandi Carlile’s “The Story,” showing off a beautiful, delicate and distinctive voice that prompted a pair of chair turns.

Bryana Salaz vs. Gianna Salvato: Bryana Salaz, 16, of San Antonio, Texas, auditioned with Ariana Grande’s “Problem,” showing off tons of potential and charisma. She turned three chairs. Gianna Salvato, 18, of Freehold, N.J., auditioned with Pink’s “Glitter in the Air.” We didn’t get to see the audition, but Gwen turned very early and wound up being the only coach to do so.

Damien Lawson vs. Kelli Douglas: Damien, 35, of Monroe, La., auditioned with Boyz II Men’s “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” and displayed one of the best pure voices we heard during week one of Season 7. He turned all four chairs. Kelli Douglas, 31, of Dallas, Texas, auditioned with “Danny’s Song” by Loggins and Messina and turned three chairs.
