After Monday night's episode of "The Voice," the advancing artists Blaine Mitchell and Viktor Kiraly from Team Adam, Blind Joe and Chance Pena from Team Blake, Braiden Sunshine, Korin Bukowski, and Riley Biederer from Team Gwen, and Evan McKeel from Team Pharrell answered some questions in an interview.
Riley, Chance and Blaine; did you feel like an underdog entering a battle against contestants that turned more chairs in the blind auditions?
Riley Bierderer: "I definitely did feel like an underdog going against a four-chair turn, also going against a four-chair turn with the song that we had because I did go against Evan...So it was a little intimidating."
Blaine Mitchell: "Yes, you know from just working with Blake and Blind Joe, we set out to just have a good time with that song. I don't' know if either Joe or myself felt like underdogs, but he's a super talented dude."
Chance Pena: "For me, I turned one chair and they turned four. And they're also two people. So at first when I first heard we were going against each other, I thought it'd be tough. But once I started working with them and got to know them, it just became fun the whole time. The harmonies we would do - it was just amazing."
Riley, what did you think your chances were getting the save after the verdict was announced?
Riley:" I think when I finished the battle I was pretty content with how I did and I accepted it...I didn't expect it, especially because it was such a late steal. I was walking down the stairs. I definitely was caught off guard by it."
Blind Joe, what's it like for you now that you're playing in a situation with professional musicians backing you?
Blind Joe: "Man, it's a thrill. I mean, and you're absolutely right. These guys are the best in the business...It's really amazing. It makes you really feel like a superstar coming from a dude that just gets up on stage and plays guitar and sings songs."
The Voice battles continue and stay tuned for more interviews with the advancing contestants this season.
