The Voice Season 24: Battle Til You Can't

Team Reba brought us Tom Nitti and Dylan Carter singing Til You Can't by Cody Johnson-- Tom impressed the heck out of me in comparison to his one chair turn in the blinds. Dylan had so much hype going in being a four chair turn but it's almost like he plateaued and had that special blind and didn't take it anywhere further. What does impress me about Dylan is his connection to the song and to the music. I could tell Tom was totally feeling that song. Niall said when the two of you harmonized together it was electric. Gwen said Dylan your voice is so beautiful and Tom you kept blowing me away. John said Tom you were hiding behind the guitar a little bit and then you became a revelation. Dylan you were spiritually in tune with what you were singing. Reba said it was magical and their voices complimented each other. Reba chose Tom. 


Monataged: Team Niall-- Olivia Minogue and Laura Williams sang Ghost by Ella Henderson. Niall chose Olivia

Team Gwen brought us Eli Ward and Jason Arcilla singing Make it With You by Bread--  I loved his performance, this was something so relaxed and peaceful. I loved how Niall described Jason's voice. John loved the gentleness of Jason's tone but would go with Eli. Niall said Eli this song really suited your voice, Jason you have an etherealness that's built into you. Gwen chose Jason, she said she would listen to him on a record right now and she chose him because he's more consistent at this point. Eli grew a lot in a short time. 


Team Legend brought us Claudia B and Mara Justine singing Son of a Preacher Man by Dusty Springfield-- Why do I have a feeling there is going to be a steal here? I gotta say Team Legend is pretty stacked. Reba said you are 21 and 25; y'all are so talented. Claudia vocal and stage presence, unbelievable. Mara your attitude, you got into, and when you did, I did. Reba would pick Claudia. Niall, Mara I remember you superstar, Claudia you were able to maintain control and be yourself, it was flawless. I would lean towards Mara. Gwen said Claudia you have a strong identity through your voice, Mara there is star quality in your walk, it was animated and flawless. Gwen would go with Mara. John said you delivered and I was proud to be your coach. Claudia your voice has a lot of clarity and Mara yours has more rock and edge. John chose Mara and Niall stole Claudia.
