The teams are set and its time for the Battle Round, but first, find out what Team Cee Los WADE, Cheesa, the Shields Brothers, and Sera Hill and Lee Koch of Team Christina had to say about their debut on NBCs The Voice during the last Blind Auditions including that impromptu duet with Sera and Christina Aguilera!
Heres what the artists had to say during their recent interview.
On singing with Christina Aguilera
Sera Hill: It was unbelievable. Shes my idol, shes an icon, and I wasnt expecting it, but I was just trying not to trip and fall, trying to sing the notes right, and Christina [Aguilera] singing with me was just an added bonus and it wa! s just s o surreal. Very, very surreal. My dreams came true. It was a dream come true; absolutely.
On having a fanbase
Rory (The Shields Brothers): Its incredible. Weve never had such an impact on Twitter. Before this thing we had no Twitter followers and in like an hour we had like thousands compared to what we had.
Tristan (The Shields Brothers): Hold on, its not by comparison. Actually a thousand. Its not like thousands, its actually a thousand. From zero to a thousand is what were saying, but it felt like millions.
I think America really loves rock-and-roll, which is why they loved getting punched in the face with it last night by us. I think that the fanbase is there, they just didnt realize it.
On making it onto a team even if it was at the very end
Sera Hill: I was hoping that Id actually get to audition. I was one of the very last people to go and I was like, Oh, gosh, what if all the teams are full and no one picks me? So the fact that Christina turned around and liked Im Going Down, it was amazing and it just helped me bring back the real soul music that Ive always loved and shes the best role model for that.
Lee Koch: Theres a few days of auditioningwhen were told that were going to be on one of the later days, I think we kind of assume like, Alright, its going to be down to the wire. We dont know how many spots are left there could be one, there could be five but we know naturally theres only going to be a few left, so I think it is a little more nerve-wracking for the people who have to go toward the end, but I mean, thats the only way it can work, so its just how the cards are dealt.
I did get a little nervous when it was coming down to the last few seconds of my song. When [Christina] hit her button I was in shock. I didnt realize I pointed to her until I saw it last night. I thought I kind of just kept playing and didnt even realize she t! urned ar ound. It was a shock, but it was great and Im thrilled to work with Christina. I know its an odd match-up, but I think that makes for more entertaining viewing. She does some bluesy kind of stuff, I do some bluesy kind of stuffI think we can find a middle ground and do some sweet stuff.
On what was going through their minds during their Blind Auditions:
WADE: Well, I tried not to focus on the chairs and play to the audience, but its hard not to. In those first couple of seconds of my performance I was like, Come on, somebody turn around, and then finally, when Cee Lo pressed his button [I breathed an] internal sigh of relief that made things a lot easier.
Tristan (The Shields Brothers): The song was actually a lot harder than it looked because we bumped it up a few keys; actually, probably harder than it sounded because you cant really see it. But when Cee Lo turned around, we were like, Screw it, lets go crazy. Thats when we started to jump around and throw mic stands and stuff like that
Sera Hill: What was going through my mind was, Oh my gosh, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and youve gotta nail it, and I just was trying not to fall in those high heels.
Lee Koch: I tried connecting with my siblings in the audience because they were going nuts through my whole performance, so I didnt really focus on the chairs too much at all.
WADE: I dont know if you noticed in my performance, but when Cee Lo turned around, I almost stopped singing. [I was] like, I made it; done deal.
Cheesa: It was so close to the end of my song I really was preparing my speech to say thank you for listening and Im really glad that Cee Lo turned around at the last second. It was such a blessing.
