The Voice contestants interview.. Apparently they ain't happy with the producers
Q) Josiah, what exactly are you learning these days from Usher as your mentor, about singing and the music business?
Josiah Hawley: Usher's teaching me all about how to connect to a lyric. For the most part I normally do originals. I'm a song writer and so I'm not learning how to connect to a lyric that's not my own but still to get inside someone else's head and to make it my own.
Q) And what are you anticipating most as the competition continues at this point?
Josiah Hawley: My goal is to continue to grow as much as I can as an artist, and to continue to show America and show the world more who I am as an artist.
Q) Are you still living in California and do you plan on staying there for a while?
Josiah Hawley: I really enjoy living in Los Angeles so I, yes I think I'm going to stay here for a bit.
Q) Josiah, could you tell us if you'll be making your guitar on stage again in the near future?
Josiah Hawley: With this next performance I will be playing guitar.
Q) Caroline, can you talk about why you chose to go with Adam over Usher?
Caroline Glaser: I just realized that when all the judges were talking that Adam was a little more passionate about me over Usher.
Q) Josiah, after what happened with Jeff in rehearsal, did you feel you had a definite advantage going into the battle? Like how do you see it now?
Josiah; I don't feel I had a definite advantage. I think any time there's a big critique, if someone can apply the critique to their performance there can be a huge growth. So it wasn't settling necessarily to have him called out and me not necessarily be called out, it just made me more focused, yes.
Q) Warren, given Adam's comment that, "There's more diversity in your voice," how do you plan to use that going forward?
Warren Stone: To have him say that to me is a huge complement. But that's who I want to be as an artist. I love country music but I also love all music. I just think that I can use that to my advantage and be a very diverse country singer.
Q) Caroline, can you tell us a little bit about how you think that you improved as a singer and as a performer from the time we saw you at your blind audition to the time we saw you at the battle round?
Caroline Glaser: Yes, well I'm not used to performing so I hide behind my guitar. I think they test me a lot going into the battles to be confident and that performance element of the show.
Q) Audrey, we didn't get to see a lot of your battle. Can you tell us a little bit about what happened and a little bit about why you think you were selected to go on?
Audrey Karrasch: My performance was really nerve-racking. It was a really hard song choice. I think that Usher was really ambitious when choosing that song. It was definitely a challenge. I couldn't have been paired with someone better though. Jamila has such a great attitude and she's extremely talented and such a powerful voice. But that battle was such a challenge. I'm not upset that I was montaged. The only thing I do wish was that people could have seen more of Jamila's performance because my first episode was aired and I know that she had been montaged before in the past. And she has such a great voice, so I wish that she had more time to be featured. It wasn't the best performance but I'm still happy to be here.
Q) Warren, with the battles, a lot of the singers are singing songs out of their comfort zone. Obviously you and Michael Austin are country singers, but do you feel that gave you both an advantage being country or would you rather have had something from a different genre to showcase your abilities more?
Warren Stone: It was a fun song and I live that song every day. I don't know if I would have picked the song I wouldn't have picked it, but I gave it 110%. And I'm still here. But Mike is a great guy and a really good friend now. We really had a good time whenever we did it. I mean every practice that we had was just a blast. So I don't think I had an advantage by no means, but you know, I gave it everything and still here.
Q) And do you think that your friendship with Michael Austin maybe made it more difficult?
Warren Stone: We both said that, before the battle, that we were going into this as friends and we were going to treat it just like we were doing a concert together. And you know that's, I think that's what showed on stage last night was that we were just having a good time.
Q) Danielle and Caroline, Blake commented on how the young singers sometimes have a difficult time trying to be confident on stage. So once you two were on stage we didn't really see that hesitation that he mentioned. Was it something he spoke with you about that kind of calmed your nerves, or was it just rehearsing it, how did you overcome that Danielle?
Danielle Bradbery: I think rehearsing it and going over it a lot helped with the confidence on stage. And yes, just going over it a lot helped a lot.
Caroline Glaser: Yes, I agree with Danielle. We worked really hard on that song.
Q) Audrey and Tawnya, I was wondering, having your battle round sort of montaged, do you think that that hurts your chances at all moving forward? I know Audrey spoke a little bit about the montages, but I think we all would have liked to have seen more of the performances in general.
Audrey Karrasch: I mean it's kind of a little bit what I said before. But I mean my feelings aren't hurt. I do wish that Jamila could have been showed more. Her performance wasn't the greatest, but that's the risk that you take going into this competition, you're going to have good performances and bad ones. I won the battle so I'm happy to be here and there's nothing that I would change about it. I have kind of mixed feelings about it right now. all I can say is that I'm just grateful and thankful to be here. But I do wish that people could have seen more of Jamila's performance because she was outstanding.
Tawnya Reynolds: I mean, everybody wants to shine, everybody wants to have their moment. But the amount of exposure that we're getting, even for a few seconds, is priceless. I could not ask for that, I can't tour the country in a month and have the viewers that I had in 5 seconds on this show. So would I have loved to have been shown? Absolutely. But am I upset about it? No way.
Q) Josiah, early in the judging of your competition with Jeff, a couple of comments were made about the song choice that you all sang, Roxanne, being not necessarily a good choice for the two of you. What do you think about song selection? Is that a particular challenge for you? And do you have any special challenges trying to pick the right song for yourself?
Josiah Hawley: Well like I said before, "I don't perform a lot of covers normally. Normally I just perform my own music." So any time I'm going to have to try to step in someone else's skin and perform a cover it brings a challenge, you know? And Roxanne is, it's a classic song. It's a very difficult song.And I'm excited for the challenge and I'm just going to keep trying to pick music that I feel represents me as an artist, or at least represents some of my influences as an artist.
Q) Also, in an earlier interview with one of our other reporters here, you mentioned something about how you had gone into the competition thinking that you were leaning toward Adam, and then you ended up thinking Usher was the coach for you. And I wonder, what was your thought process? What made you change your mind?
Josiah Hawley: Well the show, the producer of the show gave us the advice like, "Have an idea in mind, but at the same time have an open heart and just really listen and take the time to ask questions as to why they turned around." And so I was able to really ask questions. I asked Blake and Usher and Adam, "Why did you turn around? Why would you want me on your team?" And so once they told me I had to go with my gut feeling, and it was that Usher was definitely the person that I wanted to work with.
Q) Audrey, at some point in the future you're going to be competing against each other. How do you all see that competition? Especially because you're not only on the same team, but a male and a female, does that present any special challenges?"
Josiah Hawley: I don't know if it necessarily presents a challenge for the most part. If we had to go up against each other in the next round, we'd each be performing our own song. So I think the goal and the challenge is going to be just performing the song to the best of our ability and making the song our own. And so for me personally, I'm just going to do my best to have it rehearsed, have it ready. And I'm not going to think and worry about whoever I'm up against, how they perform, I'm just going to worry about how I'm going to perform it and make sure I'm doing the best that I can do.
Audrey Karrasch: I completely agree with what Josiah said. And it's not even just for team Usher, I mean even if we were to make it past these next rounds or whatever. We're all competing amongst each other and we all become great friends. So that really is the, I guess the biggest pill to swallow. It's hard, but as Josiah said, "The only thing you can really do and the one thing you have control over is your own performance." So that's the one thing you can really focus on.
Q) Danielle, how are you as talented as you are at such a young age? To what do you attribute your level of skill
Danielle Bradbery: I don't know. I mean I never had singing lessons, I've never had much experience as I have now. And the ability I have now I hope to grow. And I don't know, it just comes out on stage and whatever happens, happens, and I try to do the best I can.

just because is strict doesn't make him a "douche". If it were any other coach you guys would be fine with it. If I were on a talent show I would rather have someone tell me the honest truth over lie to me and watch me fail. Truth hurts
