Katie Kaden sang Baby I Love You by Aretha Franklin-- I loved this! She is so different. Kelly talked about how Katie reminded her of the lead female singer from the Alabama Shakes. This is definitely someone in my opinion who should be around for a while in this competition. This was a four chair turn, Blake blocked Kelly. Sadly it did not pay off because Katie chose Team Legend.
I do have to say, I already miss Adam, the show just does not seem the same without him. I obviously love Blake, Gwen, and Kelly. I am still not used to John.
Jake HaldenVang-- Need to say I wasn't a fan. Blake, Gwen, and John turned. Gwen said she and Kelly thought he was a woman at first from his tone. Jake chose Team Gwen.
Jay Miah-- This drag queen from Tampa performed a song from The Greatest Show. I actually enjoyed his performance. He needs some refining. No one turned but Jay should come back!
Brennan Lassiter sang You Are My Sunshine-- This was a four chair turn and this was a performance! Again, this is someone who could make it to the live shows. Brennan is pure vocal talent at its best. She is a well deserved four chair turn. In my opinion, she should have gone with Blake, but she chose Team Kelly.
Rose Short sang Preach by John Legend-- Rose was a pleasant surprise. I'd argue she did John Legend's song better than John Legend did. This was so soulful and strong. Rose is someone I could see in the lives. Rose chose Team Gwen.
Will Breman sang Say You'll Be There by The Spice Girls-- Will has a unique sound, and there's a freedom in his voice that is really cool. To me, he reminds me of certain people--- Michael Buble, a little bit of Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Gavin DeGraw. He will need to be consistent and study hard to stay in this. I was shocked that he chose Team Legend.
Alex Guthrie sang Love and Happiness-- This is a fave R&B jam of mine. Alex has sold beyond his years and time. What's going to be important for him is honing his skills even more, he cannot sound like anyone else. He had soul but he could have dug deeper and dirtied it up a little more. Alex chose Team Kelly, and I do think she will help him do this.
Kat Hammock sang Vienna by Billy Joel-- I'll be honest-- I don't remember this performance, it wasn't memorable for me. I'm surprised the chairs turned. The performance lacked dynamics for me. I hope Blake can bring it out of her. Kat chose Team Blake.
CJ Washington and Timmy Hood both don't turn any chairs unfortunately.
Marina Chello sang Walk Me Home by Pink-- Marina, you can tell, comes with so much experience. She's a great vocalist and has so much confidence. Her run towards the end of the song was strong. Blake said he was drawn to the power in her voice. Kelly liked that she has 80% more to give, and didn't start out with her best song. Marina chose Team Blake-- I think this is going to be a great match up!
Kyndal Inskeep sang Never Been to Spain-- Kyndal was cool, don't know if I would have used a block on her like Gwen did but to each their own. Maybe Gwen liked her that much that she thought it was worth it. One thing I will say, her tone is real cool, what style she wants to pursue will be interesting because she can go in several directions. Kyndal chose Team Gwen.
