'The Voice' Season 18: Micah Iverson's emotional vocals and Cedrice's sultry performance leave fans awestruck
Team Kelly Clarkson's Micah Iverson took on Elton John's 'Your Song' while Cedrice performed her own rendition of Billie Eilish's 'Everything I Wanted'.
As two fan-favorites in the competition, both Micah and Cedrice were bound to get a lot of votes from their fans. Both are stunningly talented vocalists with their own unique styles, meaning Team Kelly is going to see some tough competition tonight.
Micah instantly proved why he's still in the running to win. Not only did he boldly sing a song that is huge and vocally challenging, but he also did so with absolute ease, playing around with his voice and taking it all through his range.
"Micah Iverson picks a song perfectly fit to his voice. Loved that opening and his setup. He really connects with the piano there at his fingertips. The bgvs tryna take over but his voice is cutting thru. This is anthemic! Nice work #TheVoice," tweeted one fan, while another stated, "@micahciverson definitely got the @GavinDeGraw vibe going on #VoiceLives."
Clarkson marveled at Micah's skill and range and commended him for picking a difficult song and nailing it. But not all viewers agreed.
"Not feeling it all from Micah #VoiceLives #TeamKelly zzzzzz," tweeted one viewer, while another stated, "Micah is not playing the piano. He should just stood up. #VoiceLives." While some viewers are enjoying the at-home version of the live playoffs, it seems many others are upset that the performances are more staged than usual.
For any other singer, Micah's performance would be a tough act to follow, but not for Cedrice, who put her own sultry spin on Billie's song. And fans couldn't be happier with her song choice.
"@cedricemusic singing Billie Eilish's "everything i wanted" really GOT EVERYTHING I WANTED!!!! <3 <3 <3 #TheVoice," tweeted one fan, while another stated "Ooooh YES Cedrice coming in with Billie Eilish!! Her voice is so smooth and effortless. I loved this performance, it’s definitely one of my favorites tonight."
Others were fans of Cedrice's performance in its entirety, as they stated "#VoiceTop17 Cedrice her voice it’s so angelic natural she is a true superstar !!!" And naturally, some were huge fans of her voice, tweeting "Wow Cedrice she's the #1 I love love love her seductive voice you go girl my vote is for Cedrice."
Kelly called Cedrice "crazy cool", stating she is a standalone artiste that does not even need a show to make it as an artiste and predicted she will be a star someday. John Legend also called the singer a "superstar."
Unfortunately, not all fans were in agreement. "Ugh i love cedrice and her voice is gorgeous. was not feeling that song however... still love her though and she's so gorgeous," tweeted one. Another viewer stated, "#VoiceTop17 I just don’t like her! Cedrice I just don’t hear a voice."
