Team Blake: Andrew Sevener sang Long Haired Country Boy by Charlie Daniels-- Kelly said it felt like we were at his concert. John said we really felt your confidence more than ever. Adam said it was his best performance. I agree with all the coaches-- this was by far his best yet. The song fit him well.
Team Blake: Gyth Rigdon sang God Bless the U.S.A. by Lee Greenwood-- Kelly said this was not my fave vocal for you this evening but I can't really critique this because I feel like I'd be going to hell. Perfect song for him but I actually agree with Kelly, it was not his best vocal.
Team Blake: Kim Cherry sang Together Again by Janet Jackson-- Kim was having fun up there and I appreciate that about her. I see her as more of an entertainer than a vocalist. John commented on what she was wearing. Blake said no one has ever questioned whether or not she is a great vocalist.
Team Blake: Carter Lloyd Horne sang Take Me to Church by Hozier-- I didn't love this. Kelly thought it was a little bit pitchy. She complimented his tone though. Blake said it happens to everyone and he has a fan base.
Team Kelly: Rod Stokes sang Go Rest High on That Mountain by Vince Gill-- Rod brought the emotional performance tonight. He is someone that I hope makes it to the finals. Blake loved how connected he was to the song. Kelly loves his ability to connect with people and that he has a natural ability to move people.
Team John: Maelyn Jarmon sang Stay by Rihanna-- This was the best vocal of the night by far. If she is not in the finale then something is wrong. Adam said she is the frontrunner in this competition and there is no one better than her. Blake talked about her control and poise, nothing rattles her and he is ready every time she gets on the stage.
Team Blake: Dexter Roberts sang Here Without You by 3 Doors Down-- I liked his vocal more than the arrangement. His vocal was awesome. He's up there with Gyth in terms of vocals. Kelly liked hos he stepped outside the country genre with that song. Blake said the song was Dexter's idea. He said your voice is one of my fave country voices I have heard.
Team John: Shawn Sounds sang A Song For You by Donny Hathaway-- Adam said thank you for putting on a singing clinic tonight. You execute everything flawlessly. Thank God for you. Kelly said you have sang your tail off this entire season but that was my favorite.
Top 4 -- My Predictions --
Shawn
Maelyn
Rod Or Dexter
Gyth

The Voice Season 16: The Top 13 Get Close to the Finale
Team Blake: Gyth Rigdon sang Nobody But Me by Blake Shelton-- He is the strongest country singer left on Team Blake. He has a charisma, and although I did not necessarily think this was his best performance, he should get through. John said Gyth carries himself with a star presence. Blake agreed and said he owns the stage and is an undiscovered talent.
Team Blake: Kim Cherry sang Whatta Man by Salt N' Pepa-- Actually thought this was a great song choice for Kim. Kelly said she wanted to hear Kim sing more. Blake said it is interesting with someone like Kim to see what the viewers choose for her.
Team Kelly: Jej Vinson sang Close by Nick Jonas-- This was Jej's best performance in several weeks. I loved how he made the song a little bit more personal for him. Adam said he has a very indentifiable tone and that he has always seen him as a winner of The Voice. Kelly said she sees him as sweet and sexy and would be shocked if he was not in the finale.
Team Blake: Andrew Sevener sang She Got the Best of Me by Luke Combs-- I enjoy Andrew's authenticity but from a vocal standpoint, I did not feel it was as strong as it could have been. John felt his energy and passion was strong but it could have used a little more finesse. Blake said Andrew, you're on 10 all the time.
Team Blake: Oliv Blu sang Smooth Operator by Sade-- This has been my favorite performance of the night so far. I thought Oliv sounded amazing. John said you have everything. Sade's songs sound easy to sing but they are not. Blake said Oliv you sounded absolutely incredible. You embraced this moment and how cool it is, you became an artist on that stage tonight.
Team Blake: Dexter Roberts sang Something Like That by Tim McGraw-- I wasn't that impressed with this performance. Maybe all the country artists on Blake's team have cancelled each other out? I actually like Dexter, but this wasn't his best. Kelly loved the song choice. Blake says he thought Dexter did a great job.
Team Legend: Shawn Sounds sang A House is Not a Home by Luther Vandross-- WOW! What a gorgeous performance; I was smiling from start to finish. This was stunning! Adam said Shawn, you're incredible, your best to date, and best of the night. I think you're unbelievable dude. John said it was an incredible performance, you would be great no matter who you chose as your coach, I'm just happy you chose me.
Team Legend: Celia Babini sang Shallow by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper--Started out a little bit weird, but it picked up as she continued singing. I loved it. Adam said he misses Celia and will continue to talk to John about her. John expressed how she was initially concerned with singing this song and he thought she did a great job.
Team Adam: L.B. Crew sang I'll Make Love to You by Boyz II Men-- I have to say, it may not have been a perfect performance but it was a spirited one. Adam said I think you're a true talent. He walks into a room and you just want him to be successful. You always come correct and you do it with all of your being.
Team Adam: Mari sang Foolish by Ashanti-- I absolutely loved this! This was probably my favorite performance of the night. She took this song and did the R&B part of it proud. She stayed true to her roots but she stylized the song in her own way. Adam said this young woman is a super star! You're an artist and it sets you apart from everyone else in this competition. Everyone should be voting for you and you should win this show.
Team Blake: Carter Lloyd Horne sang Let It Go by James Bay-- He is a front-runner on Team Blake. I will be disappointed if he doesn't go through. Blake said some of these fan pick songs make me nervous. You take everything that gets thrown at you and you run at it head on. He said you killed it tonight man.
Team Kelly: Rod Stokes sang When a Man Loves a Woman by Michael Bolton-- This was also a great performance; the fans love Rod. I can totally see him getting through. This was such a strong vocal. Blake said I was thinking dammit, you just keep delivering something more monumental than last time. Kelly said I adore you. You have this God given talent that is so majestic.
Team Legend: Maelyn Jarmon sang The Scientist by Coldplay-- Angelic performance! Maelyn is so gifted. John sang her praises after her performance, and called her the best vocalist in the competition.
The 5 Going Home-- Dexter, Andrew, Celia, Kim, and L.B.
