The Voice Season 15: The Battles... Too Close in Some Cases

Team Blake: Keith Paluso vs. Dave Finley singing I'm A One Woman Man by George Jones-- They are well matched. I honestly cannot choose-- Dave and Keith both brought it! Wow, I loved their range, their sheer talent, the vocals had so much swagger. J. Hud said you took us on a journey and you made it work. Kelly said it felt raw and organic, it's just who you are. Adam said I am not gonna say who won because it goes against the spirit of what that was. Keith the fact that you're not country and Kelly thought you were is a testament to you, and Dave you're a badass. No one could choose!
Blake chose Dave! Keith needs to get saved! Yes! Adam saved Keith!

Team Adam: Emily Hough vs. Reagan Strange singing Photograph by Ed Sheeran-- I would give the edge to Reagan. I just loved her tone and intonation. Blake praised both young ladies. J. Hud said Reagan embraced the moment, and Emily you have such a big voice. You sounded amazing together. Kelly said Reagan's voice is like poetry, and she was captivated by Emily. Adam said I am such a big fan of the both of you and this is going to break my heart.
Adam chose Reagan, he said she has this thing about her, I can't explain it, she's just special.

Team Jennifer: Franc West vs. Matt Johnson singing Too Close by Alex Clare--  I was okay with this, I didn't love the song. Matt was smoother, but Franc definitely had a swagger. Adam said he loved both of them but liked Matt's game face. Blake said he would go with Franc. Jennifer said she loved both of them, they each bring something different. She said something about Franc's swagger and how his voice cuts through her like a knife. I knew she was going to pick him.
Jennifer chose Franc

Team Kelly: Abby Cates vs. Delaney Silvernell singing Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding-- Delaney won this by a mile. Her tone is warm and smooth. By contrast, Abby sounded inexperienced, her phrasing was odd. Adam noted Delaney's experience but said he wouldn't choose between them and J. Hud echoed his sentiment. Blake said he would go with Delaney because you can hear the experience in her voice.
Kelly chose Abby and Adam immediately stole Delaney

Team Adam: Foushee vs. Radha singing Growing Pains by Aleesia Cara-- Adam chose Radha
Team Kelly: Mikele Buck vs. Chevel Shepherd singing You Look So Good In Love by George Strait-- Kelly chose Chevel
Team Jennifer: Audri Bartholomew vs. Makenzie Thomas singing Always Be My Baby by Mariah Carey-- Jennifer chose Makenzie

Team Adam: Jake Wells vs. Natalie Brady singing Closing Time by Semisonic-- OMG! Jake is my absolute fave! I love how he performs, I love his voice. He made Natalie better. Their voices blended so well! Blake said Jake, you were a one chair turn, clearly you got away from us. He said he would maybe go with Natalie. Kelly said Jake you look like Brad Pitt meets Kurt Cobain and you're a good singer. Adam thought the version of the song was so special, it seemed like a finale performance.
Adam said I need to choose who spoke to me the  most.
Adam chose Jake

Team Jennifer: Tyshawn Colquitt vs. Zaxai singing Love Lies by Khalid and Normani-- I love both of these artists, they are both very different, but both true R&B artists. I love how they took this song and had two guys singing it. The dynamics were incredible! I could not see parting with either one of these guys, too close to call for me. Kelly said she would lean towards Zaxai. Blake said you should go with whoever you blocked Kelly to get.
Jennifer chose Tyshawn, and Kelly needs to steal Zaxai! Yes!!! Kelly saved Zaxai!

Who stood out to me tonight? Jake Wells, Zaxai, Delaney, Tyshawn, Keith and Dave! There were so many great performances tonight. Who did you love? Leave some LOVE in the comments. ;-)
