The Voice: Season 24: The Top 9 Are "Alive"

Team Reba: Ruby Leigh sand Take Me Home by John Denver-- Great fan selection on that song. Ruby sounded great. I love how she was all her own. John said you have been consistent and I loved those high notes today, clear as a bell, so beautiful. Reba said you did a great job, you did everything to perfection. 

Team Gwen: BIAS sang God Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts-- BIAS sounded so strong tonight and in touch with the vocal. It was nice to hear him be passionate with the lyrics and tender. Niall thought it was mature and well executed, he felt it was emotional, and he is consistent. Gwen said there is something so authentic about you, your voice is so gorgeous and it's just incredible to get to know you. 



Team Reba: Jacquie Roar sang Alive by Sia (Chris Daughtry version)-- Such an awesome choice for her. I literally want her to sing that with Chris Daughtry. John said you knocked that out of the park. Reba said I know your kids are so proud of you, I know I am. 



Team Reba: Jordan Rainer sang Ol' Red by Blake Shelton-- Something I really appreciate about Jordan is her performance quality. This was her best performance to date in my opinion. I just loved her performance quality and how she showed so much personality. Gwen said that was crazy, I could never imagine a female doing that song and it was my favorite performance of you. Reba said you did all of America proud tonight. You handled it like a pro. 

Team Niall: Huntley sang Way Down We Go by Kaleo-- Such a perfect song for Huntley! John mentioned it, but I was feeling his Thor vibes up there. I feel like Huntley has been to this "painful" place in his life so when he sings these lyrics, he's coming from that place. Loved this.  John said I feel like I am really seeing you as an artist up there. Niall said you're incredible dude, we both love classic rock and southern rock. I think this was a perfect song for you to do. 



Team Niall: Mara Justine sang Parachute by Chris Stapleton-- This song choice is a little curious for me, but I suppose it was chosen based on the fact that it is soulful and sultry and that is Mara. I liked her interpretation and I hope she sticks around cause she is a talented vocalist. She had that big note! John said you're hitting notes I've never heard before. I think this was your best vocal performance. Niall said that is crazy, it's a different side to you, the confidence is unbelievable. 

Team Legend: Mac Royals sang Love TKO by Teddy Pendergrass-- I don't know if I would have chosen that song but he made it sound so good. I think he just has star quality and has earned a spot in the finals.  Reba said what a journey, you have just soared. John said he sings like a pro, he sings like a star, he sings like a superstar. 



Team Niall: Nini Iris sang No Time to Die by Billie Eilish-- Wow!! That may have been the performance of the night. That was emotional and moving. Gwen said I'm blown away, you're so gifted, and tasteful with the way you build the songs. Niall said your ability to know who you are as an artist, Billie sings that song completely different. He urged America not to get complacent and to vote for Nini. 



Team Legend: Lila Forde sang River by Joni Mitchell-- Amazing rendition, she was like Joni, but all her own. Reba said you have the ability to touch hearts so deep and you do that. John said you performance had so much wisdom, heart, integrity, and musicality; stunning.




Who is going home tomorrow? 

My predictions-- Mara, Ruby, and Jordan, and I am sad about it.
