#7 Geoff McBride VS. Sera Hill

Christina chose to pair Geoff McBride and Sera Hill for her teams next battle.  While Geoff is a power vocalist with lots of projection, Sera is more of an emotional artist in that she is able to get the audience to connect to the song when she is singing.  Christina has tasked them with singing Chain of Fools by Aretha Franklin.

Geoff got to work with Lionel Richie to prepare for the battle.  The only major critique Geoff received from both coaches was to make sure he makes the audience feel and believe him.  Sera had the opportunity to work with Jewel in preparation for the battle.  The coaches agree that for Sera to win, she needs to bring more emotion to show heart and sincerity.


Right from the start, both Geoff and Sera sounded awesome together.  As the song went on it became evident that Sera naturally connected to the song and really got into it, whereas it looked like Geoff was having to work harder to connect with the song and the audience.

The decision that Christina had to make was not easy.  Both artists are very strong vocalists and either could do well in the live shows.  When it came down to it Cee Lo and Adam would have chosen Geoff, while Blake would have chosen Sera.  In the end it was Christina's decision and although it was tough, I agree with her decision of who to carry on to the next stage of competition.
