The season 22 finale of The Voice began tonight, with five contestants left to compete for America‘s votes. Everyone from Bodie and Morgan Myles to Brayden Lape and Bryce Leatherwood to Omar Jose Cardona got their moment in the spotlight, however, who truly stood out?
We’ll say Morgan did the most work on the first performance. During her performance of “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” she wore herself out with all of the dancing and spinning she did. That’s not a tune anyone should have much success singing, but she nailed it.
Even though Bodie has the attitude and swagger down, she has staked a legitimate claim to the title in the most recent episodes. She is at a disadvantage because she is not on Blake Shelton’s squad; he has a much better track record of winning this competition.
For the majority of the evening, we felt like we were seeing a battle between Bodie’s creativity and Morgan’s commanding vocals. No doubt Brayden and Bryce will each garner a sizeable following base, but their respective performances lacked a certain something. Rather than stepping out and doing his own thing, Omar seemed to be attempting an impersonation in his first number.
Despite our interpretation of the evening…
It seems like Bryce, Morgan, and Bodie are all in a three-horse race. For the season as a whole, we’d give the nod to Bodie, but tonight, Morgan did the best job and laid it all out there. It takes a lot for us to get this pumped up about a country singer, but it was impossible to ignore the obvious effort she put into every aspect of her performance.
The Voice Season 22 Finale Part 1 Recap
Part 1 of The Voice Season 22 finale aired on Monday night. Last week’s elimination of Team Gwen Stefani left Team Blake Shelton’s Bryce Leatherwood, Bodie, and Brayden Lape, Team Camila Cabello’s Morgan Myles, and Team John Legend’s Omar Jose Cardona vying for the winner’s trophy.
The top five competitors performed both slow and fast covers to win over the audience and the judges. Here’s a rundown of how things have progressed up to this point in the performances.
Team Blake
To kick off the event, Bodie performed a cover of Harry Styles‘ “Late Night Talking.” His goal as a producer was to get the crowd up and to dance. The performance began slowly and sensuously before the singer picked up the tempo for a disco take on the song.
Camila praised Bodie’s talent as an artist and “producer genius,” and Gwen noted that Bodie “has it all.” Blake remarked that Bodie seemed to be “natural” in any situation. Brayden sang Tim McGraw’s “Humble and Kind” after reading a letter to his backers.
Gwen claimed to be his biggest fan (even though she didn’t turn for him in the Blinds, something Brayden pointed out). After Brayden’s performance, Blake leaped to his feet to applaud his progress.
Before performing a performance of “Don’t Close Your Eyes” by Keith Whitley, Bryce wrote a heartfelt letter to Georgia, his home state. Even if Bryce doesn’t end up winning The Voice, Gwen assured him that he has “just earned a career.” He “ignited a fire in country fans everywhere,” Blake said.
Team Camila
Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler was Morgan’s opening selection. According to Camila, Morgan had a very soulful sound during rehearsal. Her voice was harsh, but her enthusiasm got all the coaches on their feet. Gwen said that Morgan’s voice suited the song perfectly.
However, John remarked how much he enjoyed the “crackle” in Morgan’s voice. Camila claimed that Morgan brought her to the verge of tears.
Team Legend
Omar wrote a heartfelt letter to his family, in which he expressed his gratitude for his parents and siblings. The first song he ever sang was “The Way You Make Me Feel” by Michael Jackson. As Camila praised Omar’s dance skills, John beamed with satisfaction for his teammate.
John remarked that he would have thought Omar was lip-syncing if he hadn’t seen him perform live and heard him singing and dancing without losing his voice. John thought Omar was being brave by ending the show with “Somebody to Love” by Queen. To go along with his singing, he broke out some serious theatricals, which kept the audience and coaches on their toes.
Camila expressed her gratitude to the universe for providing Omar with the opportunity to share his remarkable gifts. Omar proved to America that he is The Voice, John chimed in.
