FloorWax Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I do think she had a better song choice in her audition than in her battle, but the latter had to be a compromise between her and Elizabeth’s styles. I have a feeling her KO’s going to give her much more room to shine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to keep it simple. I hear, and I either like, or don’t like. This isn’t a favorite song of mine, but her main target audience is familiar with it, so it’s probably not a bad play, and she can clearly outsing the original artist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m just not as attached to the original as other people idk Yeah, I don't think anyone else in the competition could have tackled the song the way she did. Very few have her range, obviously there's the whistle and high belts and headvoice, but her low register sounds just as good imo. She has one of the most well rounded voices in the competition.

Add me please, I'm excited to see what she performs next. High expectations making people disappointed once again, even though she was great and the clear winner, lmao. We have seen that multiple times before Added. Glad to know that I'm not the only one who sees Kaylee as the clear winner in that battle. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to know that I'm not the only one who sees Kaylee as the clear winner in that battle. It’s pretty overwhelming in favor of Kaylee on all social platforms and YouTube, so of course you’re not the only one. Even on Facebook, where Elizabeth gets a decent reception, it’s still probably something like 80-20 in favor of Kaylee. In some places, you have to search hard to find folks who preferred Elizabeth in the battle. Edited October 29, 2023 by TeamAudra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxwell Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Add me! Without a doubt the best battle of the season so far. I keep replaying it, so GOOD. Kaylee is the best vocalist of the season, both of her performances have been stellar! Her vocal control and range is INSANE. She is unmatched. I am in denial of the PO result, I have to see it for myself to believe it. There is just no way..... Edited October 29, 2023 by Maxwell 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamAudra Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Here’s proof they didn’t need to autotune her audition. She sang the entire 3+ minute version of “Golden Slumbers.” This is from a performance at a festival yesterday. There are actually three songs in this post: “Trust In You” - Lauren Daigle “Love In The Dark” - Adele “Golden Slumbers” - The Beatles https://facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02L1wTTBCQUdrTEhsuUBgQpZeoRiAr3bj52JsTrrg2kZzs8Scj1rWwhqNkEr9aYmmnl&id=1154413369 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

istersay Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 from tvline Team Legend: Kaylee Shimizu (Grade: A) defeated Elizabeth Evans (Grade: A) on “traitor” — Elizabeth stolen by Reba | Tackling Olivia Rodrigo, Kaylee and Elizabeth were incredibly well-matched in terms of vocal firepower. (Hear for yourself below.) What’s more, every time I felt like the ear-bending oddities of Elizabeth’s voice gave her the edge, Kaylee would chime in, taking a whole different but no less compelling approach to her delivery. And they were characters on that stage — individual and intriguing characters. Were I in John’s shoes, knowing that Voice viewers don’t always respond to the unusual, I’d have given the win to Kaylee, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
season1 Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Finally finished watching Kaylee's battle on TV. She's even more impressive on the big screen. Her voice has so much depth and fullness, even on the high notes. She doesn't sound shrill like some singers do when belting. They showed some of her boxing videos; maybe they'll show her wrestling in the KOs. Congratulations to Kaylee for winning her battle. Looking forward to Kaylee's KO performance. Bonus points for Kaylee with Sanrio/Hello Kitty obsession. (I may or may have some Hello Kitty stuff including a stuffed toy. ) Edited October 31, 2023 by season1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamAudra Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 So much is made of her ability to reach ridiculous high notes, that I think her lower register is underrated. Listen to the texture in her voice on “Killing Me Softly.” I prefer this approach, with a mixture of occasional highs (she’s not going high on this song, just in general) as opposed to singing an entire song in her upper register. She can do both, but it’s just a personal preference. There are other examples, but this is a song everyone is familiar with. It’s one of the best covers of the song I’ve ever heard. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CqZzU9poo-4/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== I don’t know what this song is, but she’s almost entirely in her lower register, and it sounds so good. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CqPlooKqx9C/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right…if she could figure out a way to showcase both her upper and lower register, because they are equally impressive. The lower register brings out her tone more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looking forward to Kaylee's performance this week. I hope she closes the episode again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
