The Voice Season 16: Night Two of The Blinds Are Closer to Fine

Dominic Haynes sang River by Leon Bridges-- Dominic is special!  His voice was so magical, it's almost like the music took hold of him. Adam turned immediately and then John who Adam blocked. Blake turned at the end. Adam said I think you might be my favorite singer in all 16 seasons of the show. Your voice is raw. Blake said every muscle in your body is creating that sound, you can separate yourself from anyone on the radio and everyone on this show. Kelly said he was very Ray LaMontagne. Adam jumped back in and said he knew after 4 seconds that he was hearing something special.
Dominic chose Adam

Savannah Brister sang Don't You Worry Bout a Thing by Stevie Wonder-- John is totally right, it is crazy to me that Savannah is only 17. She is mature beyond her years and makes decisive choices when she sings. John turned quickly, he loved the energy and loved the performance. He liked the musical choices she made with the song. Kelly said I would love you to come to my team Savannah.
Savannah chose John

The Bundys sang Closer to Fine by The Indigo Girls-- It's a Voice first, a trio! Kelly and Blake are the only ones that turn. Kelly says one of her fave things about singing is singing harmonies. Blake is excited at the prospect of being the first coach for a trio on the show. He basically begs them to choose him.
The Bundys chose Kelly

Klea Olson sang No Roots by Alice Merton-- Her voice reminds me a little bit of Florence Welch from Florence and the Machine, a little Shakira too. She has a good range with her voice, but I don't know that this song was right for her. John said everyone was close in turning but you just weren't all the way there. Adam said if she came back she would do well. No one turned but she got chosen for the comeback stage.

Hannah Kay sang Coal Miner's Daughter by Loretta Lynn-- Hannah is authentic country. Blake said you can be that genuine country singer. Kelly loves her authentic country style. Hannah admits to singing Since You Been Gone forever in her bedroom but then she says that she has had a crush on Blake forever.
Hannah chose Blake

Julian King sang All Time Low by Jon Bellion-- Julian is interesting, and there is no doubt I want to hear more from him. I want to see his song choices going forward. I actually liked his version of the song more than the original. Adam turned and John blocked him, but John was the only other coach who turned so he automatically landed Julian.
John chose Julian

My predictions---

Domenic will go far in this, and Hannah could be a surprise in this competition.
