DISCLAIMER: I don't own NBCTheVoice and I most certainly don't own the people in the show like judges and the host. However I own some original characters that you'll get to know them one by one.
A/N: This chap is a little bit shorter but next chap and the one after that are gonna be worth it!
Thanks for the faves and follows, and a special thank you to CeCe17 for her continued support...
Chap4_Hillbilly Bone?!
Wow! Everyone is talking and seems to be interested in each other. I still haven't talked to Anna yet, I don't want her to know what happened. I mentally kicked myself. I swore to myself every time I think about him, I'd kick myself! Well, here is not a great place to do that. Someone shouts:
_Team Adam, this way!
I make my way to a new room. It's cozy and comfort. I can see instruments everywhere. Adam comes in and as always he makes an entrance. He comes in with a huge grin while opening his arms and shouting:
_What's up Team Adam?!
Everyone's start giggling and laughing quietly. My eyes linger on someone familiar. Oh! It was Lucas. He was Team Adam too?! Yay! He seemed so nice and polite. He notices me and waves at me. I wave back and then turn my attention to Adam again. He sits on the piano chair and waits for the cameras to roll in. Everyone waits for him to talk but he's just waiting for the camera man to give him a sign. He realizes everyone is staring at him and shrugs and says:
_What can I say? I'm too lazy to say a thing twice!
The ice breaks once again. We start sitting on the chairs and cushions. Makeup artists come in to check on us again. Everyone is quiet with the sign of the camera man. I smile and think to myself "Here we go!" Adam starts with some natural things that we know won't be on air like how are you guys doing? Or were you practicing for the battle rounds? Then the important part starts.
_Alright guys, you're all amazing. Congratulations. Things are about to get extremely intense. There are twelve of you, here today, after the battle rounds there will be six left.
Everyone starts looking nervously at each other. I don't know how I look but I'm a little scared too. I don't know who am I gonna end up with. Adam continues:
_And this is crazy but I'm bringing some amazing and very talented advisors to help me out as well. You guys are gonna love them and you definitely know who they are.
Who are his advisors this year? Last year every coach had just one advisor but this year it seems the rules are about to change.
_So all that said, tell you guys who's battling who…
Okay! This is it… I move my hands to my thighs and rub them to make myself more relaxed. I notice Adam is staring at me and I think "Fuck! I'm the first one…" but he calls someone else's name:
_Nicki Delario, what's up?!
She laughs nervously and Adam starts rubbing his hands like he's enjoying the torture he's giving her! He finally points at a guy near me and says:
_Mike Lean!
I can feel he's a little bit nervous but he just shrugs it off. Adam goes on:
_You're gonna be singing in harmony and secretly trying to destroy each other! And you're doing "No Air" by Jordin Sparks featuring Chris Brown.
I see their eyes widen and I figure they love the song. They don't seem like RnB artists but hey, that's what The Voice is about, right?! They start walking to Adam and hug him. They get out of the room and leave Adam and us to be tortured some more. We take a little break but the camera man wastes no time. Adam starts again:
_This is it. It's do or die now. Maybe it is a competition and someone is gonna go home afterwards but I think the more you guys can exude good energy out there and perform your asses off, the better the battle rounds, are gonna be. For this battle, John! Nathan!
The boys seem to be good friends so I guess it sucks for them. I sigh and try to concentrate on Adam's words about what song they're gonna sing:
_You're gonna sing the amazing Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World", it was based on your blind auditions and I believe you both gonna bring it.
They both went for a hug from Adam and just left. I start moving my leg nervously and I feel Adam's eyes on me. Is it my time now? Please! I'm not a patient person. Now, we don't have any pause and Adam starts simply:
_For the next battle, I want Joe and… Star!
Shit! He said my name! I'm looking at a country dude next to Lucas and all I can think is "Are we going country?!" I love country and I think I sing well but it's not my first important genre and the dude looks like Brad Paisley a little bit! My work is cut out for me. Adam claps his hands and we stop staring at each other and focus more on him:
_You're gonna be singing "Just A Kiss" by Lady Antebellum.
I can't believe it, it's one of my favorite songs! Hell yeah, I need to win the battle now!
_It's such a slow romantic country song that suits both of you guys. Joe, you're a country singer and you Star are so smooth that you can totally kill the song. So, see ya later!
I stand up and go to Adam. God, he is the absolute hotness. I smile and hug him and he pulls away too quick. It's a little weird and I just shake the feeling off. Joe and I leave the room and some guy leads us to another room. The lyrics are there, the piano. They give us some time until Adam is done with others. I smile awkwardly at Joe and try to make a conversation with him:
_So… Joe, nice to meet you!
He takes his cowboy hat off and bow a little. The gesture was cute.
_Nice to meet you, mm… Star?!
Here we go again! Just accept the name already!
_Yep! Star it is! It's crazy, I know…
He shakes his head and says:
_It kinda suits you!
I love his southern accent, I've always loved accents. From country southern to British. "Not again" I say as I kick myself mentally.
_Thanks! So Joe, what did you sing in the blind auditions to make Adam Levine turn around?
I stressed Adam Levine cause he isn't the one for country. He laughs as he knows what I'm talking about:
_I know! I sang "Hillbilly Bone" by Blake Shelton!
_What the…?! You sang Blake's hit?!
_I know it was crazy but I love him so much! He said I wasn't cocky enough but Adam thought I sounded cool and that's why he picked me!
_You were lucky as hell, you know!
_Trust me, I do!
We start looking at the lyrics, although I know them already. After two minutes Adam comes in. So he is coaching us as the first duet?! I thought it takes a lot longer cause he had to coach Nicki and Mike, then John and Nathan and then it was our time. Change of schedule maybe?!
_Hey guys, hope you like the pair up.
The pianist and the head of The Voice band comes in. We start singing as the camera starts. Adam points out some pitch notes about Joe's voice and tells me to sing louder. I guess because of practicing "Say It Again" so many times, I'll have a little difficult time to adjust to singing louder but it's not a problem. We schedule for two days later to meet our advisors and then Adam leaves, just like that. No personal talk or not even a warm smile. I get the feeling he's avoiding me but why? Then they want us to express our thoughts about our pair up and what are we gonna do. I just smile and say:
_Well, Joe is a really talented country artist and to sing a country song with him seems a little bit scary but I don't have a problem with singing my heart out for everyone and you know country is about honesty and connecting with the lyrics so much like you're telling a story and let's just say I'm good at it!
I laugh a little and they take another one:
_I know I need to work on the song hard because it has a lot of emotions involved in it and it's actually one of my favorite songs by Lady Antebellum so I guess I just have to bring it! I wanna stay. I'm not ready to go home at all…
Hope you liked it!
