'The Voice': Team Blake's Ricky Duran and Kat Hammock reveal the number of times they watched themselves on the show!
'The Voice' season 17's finale is right around the corner and this week saw the show rolling with its semifinal round. A wonderful union of harmonies and other splendid performances by the contestants graced the stage as they fought their way to acquire a spot in the finals.
We have been seeing #TeamBlake's Kat Hammock and Ricky Duran growing tremendously throughout this competition. In an interview with MEA WorldWide (MEAWW), the duo was asked if there was a specific performance they can look back on and think about how nervous it made them but later went on to kill it with a brilliant performance.
Kat, who performed her rendition of 'Without You', responded, "I think this performance was the one that I'm the happiest with in a while. I just wasn't nervous at this time around as I normally am and I was really happy to be singing a song that is really special to me. So, I was definitely happy with this one. We're our worst critics for sure and there are little things that we want to pick them apart but I think other than the blinds because I was really proud of myself for just being able to do it this is probably my favorite one."
Ricky, who performed 'Downtown Train', said, "There were so many aspects to this performance because the song means a lot to me and I think this song means a lot to a lot of people. I think it's like a world song and then adding the piano and the guitar and the whole package, I was really nervous, to be honest, and I surprised myself with my performance unravel and I think I'm pretty happy with it. Since I'm very critical, I gotta go back and pick it apart, I'm sure, but I'm happier right now."
Upon being asked if they re-watch every week's performance, Kat told us she doesn't because when she did it made her really sad.
"The last I would say starting like 'Top 13' week on and I haven't watched them back, I'm too nervous," says Kat.
"It's a slippery slope if you start watching your videos and comments and I've already gone down that rabbit hole. But, actually no, I've listened to it a couple of times and I understand things like, maybe I could have done that better and I take some notes. But beyond that, you go crazy if you sit there watching all your videos," says Ricky on re-watching his performances.
Ricky and Will Breman's duet performing 'Your Love' was also an incredible experience to watch as they performed gracefully and we really hope that they start a band. The performance was so good that it blew minds and souls equally.
On being asked about his experience singing with Will, Ricky said, "I like working with him, it was cool, it was awesome and Will brings in a lot of energy and he's a great guitarist also. I think I love his vibe, like you can't really pinpoint his genre which is cool. He's like rock and then he has R&B licks so it was just a lot of fun and I'd love to jam with him sometime!"
'The Voice' airs on Monday and Tuesday on NBC at 8 pm.
