The Voice Season 28: Week 3 of the Blinds and I Hear a Symphony

Night 5

**FOUR CHAIR TURN**
Dustin Dale Gaspard sang Bring it on Home to Me by Sam Cooke-- Dustin can really sing and his identity is one of a kind. I've legit never heard someone like him. I love the song choice and the soul he put into the song. Niall said that was absolutely incredible, please pick me. Reba said you're unusual and refreshing and I'd love to have you on my team. Michael said thanks for crushing it. Snoop said they saved the best for last. He said he has family in Louisiana. 
Dustin chose Niall

Kanard Thomas sang Whip Appeal by Babyface-- Love this song, I think he picked a good one for himself. Yes!!! Snoop and Niall turned. He definitely brought the soul. Niall said great audition, I have no one like you on my team. Reba said I loved your song and you have a great voice. Michael said I need a ticket to the cruise ship you're on, that was sexy. Snoop said I could tell that you were a performer and you sang that song like it was yours. 

Kanard chose Snoop

Shan Scott sand Wish I Knew You-- I did enjoy the richness of her voice but I think what threw me off was that I was not familiar with the song. Reba mentioned this as well but obviously turned at the last minute. The song was about to be over. Reba said your voice is like wrapped in a fur coat.  

Reba chose Shan

Carly Harvey sang It Hurt So Bad by Susan Tedeschi-- Hmm I liked her but there was something about the performance that was a little rough to me. Reba and Michael turned near the end. Niall said the power you have I couldn't help you navigate. Reba said we can have fun, and Carly said we're matching with the turquoise and she said I know girl. Michael said I don't know if you noticed but I have some turquoise in my watch. 
Carly chose Michael

Colin Bracewell sang More Than a Woman-- The song was a little old fashioned. I wish he had done something a little more contemporary. Maybe Ed Sheeran? He got no turns. 

Vinya Chabra sang Ironic by Alanis Morrisette-- Loved her voice, I don't think the song did her justice but I like her and I think she could potentially do very well on this job. Reba turned, followed by Michael, and Snoop. Reba was impressed with her and said that they would have a lot of fun together. Michael harmonized with her. Snoop said I'm rocking out, I'm from an era when rock, rap, and alternative were meshed together. He said you pack a powerful punch at your age. You have superstar qualities. Feels like you need to be on my team. 
Vinya chose Reba

Lightning Round:
Conrad Khalil sang Caught Up by Usher and Reba was the only one who turned for him. 

Liam Von Elbe sang Slow Dancing in a Burning Room by John Mayer-- Loved his voice, the tone, the sound, the sensuality. Gorgeous audition. Song choice was spot on. Niall and Snoop turned. Snoop said the sound of your voice was mesmerizing, you're the whole package. You're what we need on the show and our team. Niall said he could put on his headphones and listen to him and go to sleep, I've been waiting for you dude. 
Liam chose Niall 

Lauren Anderson sang Midnight Train to Memphis by Chris Stapleton-- I loved Lauren's vocals. You can hear that she is a seasoned artist. This song was great for her. I will love seeing her versatility. Snoop was the only one who turned and he said I deserve you and you deserve me. Michael said I wanna hear the song choices you come up with together, and he said Are You Gonna Go My Way! 

Snoop chose Lauren

Ava Nat sang I Love You I'm Sorry by Gracie Abrams-- Her voice is full of feeling but so strong, like such a gentle strength. Everyone except Michael turned and he said he wants to steal her. Snoop said she performed like she was on Broadway. He said it would be an honor to be your coach. Niall said it sounds like you were reading out of your journal. He talked about the emotional connection she had to the lyrics. 

Ava chose Niall

**FOUR CHAIR TURN**
Teo Ramdel sang Historia de un Amor by Luis Miguel-- Teo has a great voice, I was surprised. He has a seasoned voice. He's also a performer. Reba said your singing was sensual, sexy, I was very moved, and I have no idea what you said. Michael spoke to him in Spanish, and said we listen to Luis Miguel everyday in my house. Snoop said Happy Birthday to him in Spanish. Snoop said you're not a singer, but an entertainer. Niall said you don't have to understand Spanish to hear a voice like that and the emotion you have with it. 
Teo chose Michael 

Night 6

**FOUR CHAIR TURN**
Trinity sang Don't Let Go by En Vogue-- Love her song choice, En Vogue is one of my faves. I think she h has real star quality, and I am interested in seeing what she does in the coming rounds. Reba said you're a powerhouse, and I couldn't hit my button fast enough. Michael said, like Reba said, our dance cards are almost full. But I need you on my team. Snoop said, you held it down, come be with me on my team. Niall said you're a superstar on the show, please pick me. 
Trinity chose Michael 

Letter to Elise sang Take On Me-- Amazing duo, their voices blend well and they fill in each other's gaps. The song choice was masterful. Snoop and Reba turned. 

Letter to Elise chose Reba

Camille Tredoux sang Behind Blue Eyes by The Who-- She has a cool sound, her tone is so interesting. Loved the vibe of her song choice. Niall said he loved her Janis Joplin vibe and said he could hear her on the radio now. He loved her song choice. Reba said there was something so soothing about her voice and she had to turn. 
Camille chose Niall

Emmanuel Rey sang Primera Cita by Carin Leon-- Emmanuel is from Inglewood, I definitely felt the vibe of his community in his voice and in his performance. He has a certain swagger that was cool and confident. It takes guts to sing a song totally in Spanish to a mostly American audience. He sounded great. Snoop and Michael turned. Mike said he has been lucky to have the Latin flavor on his team both years and he hopes Emmanuel will continue the tradition. Snoop said he has a mariachi singer on his record label, Julian Torres. Mike mentioned how much he liked him and Snoop said that's why Emmanuel needs to be on his team. 
Emmanuel chose Snoop

Myra Tran sang Symphony-- I actually loved her style. Snoop said the "L" is not a loss it's a lesson. 

Lightning Round: 
Aubrey -- Reba Chose Aubrey

Aaron Nichols sang Cold by Chris Stapleton-- Loved it of course, one of my fave songs and singers. He sounded amazing as the song progressed. Reba, Michael, and Snoop turned. Michael said I said to myself Reba is gonna win The Voice with this dude but I gotta turn around and throw my hat into the ring. Snoop said double A r-o-n, join the Snoop D-O double G team. Snoop said he wants that full representation of music and what it means so he wants Aaron on his team. Niall said he regretted not turning. 
Aaron chose Reba (her team is full)

Jerrell Melton sang Go The Distance-- Not loving the song, a little too cheese for me. However, the instrument is tremendous. Wow! Snoop exclaimed magnifico! Snoop said I heard how big your voice is, you sound like Broadway. 
Snoop chose Jerrell 

Elias Gomez sang Lonely Teardrops by Jackie Wilson-- He has that nostalgic throwback voice. I like him, nice falsetto too. Michael turned quick, Niall thought about it and turned, and Snoop turned as well. Michael introduced Elias to Sofronio and said he has one spot left and wants it to be for him. Snoop said you sang that Jackie Wilson song and I had to turn around and see what you look like cause you sound good. And you sound good, look good, and I'd love to have you on my team. Niall said I feel like you could sing anything. 
Elias chose Michael (his team is full)

Alex Brown sang How Can You Mend a Broken Heart by The Bee Gees-- His voice is dreamy. I love his voice and the song choice. Niall and Snoop turned. He has a gorgeous falsetto. He looks like a star. Snoop said you came on sultry, slick, and in pocket. Niall said you had so much control and power but did it so effortlessly. 
Alex chose Niall (his team is full)

The Voice Season 28: These Blinds are The Joy of My Life

Cori Kennedy sang Why Not Me by The Judds-- She's super talented and even wrote a song about being on The Voice. Reba and Michael turned. Reba said she has such power. Michael was wearing Reba socks. 
Cori chose Reba of course

Revel Day sang Somewhere Only We Know by Keane-- I loved the sound of his voice. There was a real fullness which all the coaches talked about. Michael, Niall, and Reba turned. Snoop said he did not turn because he felt the other coaches would serve him better. 
Revel chose Niall

Natalia Albertini sang Out Here On My Own by Irene Cara-- Her voice is a little shaky. I don't think the song was the best to showcase her voice. Snoop turned right away. Reba turned. Snoop liked how calm Natalia was even after he turned. Reba said your performance and your voice touched me so much.
Natalia chose Snoop 

Marty O'Reilly sang Trouble by Ray LaMontagne-- He has tons of texture and rasp in his voice. There is also a lot of vibrato. Love the song choice. Niall turned and then Michael and Snoop turned right before the end. Snoop said he could not let Marty's classic sound get away. Niall said his rasp was insane. Michael reminded Marty that he was the last champion.  
Marty chose Michael

**FOUR CHAIR TURN**
Kayleigh Clark sang Stay by Sugarland-- I loved her, she had so much heart in her performance. Reba said she was proud. Michael said he loves country music. Snoop reminded Kayleigh that he turned first and would give her room to grow on his team. Niall said he turned based off the goosebumps, he compared her to Carrie Underwood, and liked how she portrayed the feelings.
Kayleigh chose Niall

Daron Lameek sang All Night Long by Lionel Richie-- Daron has a cool sound, I will be interested to see how he sounds outside of a song like this (Niall said something similar). Reba and Michael turned. Reba said she cannot wait to see what he does next with his voice. Michael said no one wants to go against Reba, she is like the most iconic female artist in American history. 
Daron chose Reba

Rob Cole sang Joy of My Life by Chris Stapleton--  I absolutely LOVED his voice. I think Reba would have been the better coach for him but Michael blocked Reba and they were the only ones who turned. Niall mentioned that he sounded like Gavin DeGraw, I could not agree more. 
Rob is on Team Michael

Justin Jenks sang Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground-- loved his sound so much, no one turned, I hope he comes back.

Aarik Duncan sang Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish-- You can tell that Aarik has so much musicality. His version of this song was so cool. I am so shocked that Michael was the only turn. Last year Michael won on a one chair turn so it's possible.
Michael chose Aarik

**FOUR CHAIR TURN**  
Sadie Dahl sang Colors by Black Pumas-- Loved the tone of her voice. I did not think it was the best song choice. She is 19 though, so she is mature beyond her years. Snoop said I hear a little bit of everything from you. Niall blocked Michael.  Niall said she got better as the performance went on. Reba said you can definitely win this thing, that was mesmerizing. I am proud that you're on The Voice. Michael said I am devastated for myself but happy for you. Snoop said, Sadie, dare to be different, just like you are. 
Sadie chose Snoop and Niall's block was wasted, lol

 Night 4: 

Toni Lorene sang Cuz I Love You by Lizzo-- Her vocals are stylized and earn turns from Reba, Niall, and Snoop. In the end, she can't help but choose "Uncle Snoop". 

Austin Gilbert sang The Kind of Love We Make by Luke Combs-- I enjoyed his voice and his performance. He has an old school country voice. Niall turned and then Michael came in at the very end. Niall said a lot of power behind your voice, this is something we don't have right now. Reba said I will steal you later. Michael said you can't make a wrong choice. 
Austin chose Michael 

Kenny Iko sang Versace on the Floor by Bruno Mars-- Started a little slow, but loved his performance. His falsetto is crazy. It was cool how he made the song his own. Snoop turned quickly. Niall turned shortly after. Kenny told Snoop he loves to sing for the ladies. Snoop said you would fit on my team, I love what you're doing. Niall said I loved your version of the song, you did things that were different from when Bruno did the record. 
Kenny chose S-N-O-O-P

Leyton Robinson sang Weren't for the Wind by Ella Langley-- Leyton has a great voice, definitely turn worthy. She has a strong voice-- fierce for sure. Snoop turned early on and Reba turned at the very end much to Snoop's dismay. Snoop said the way you sound, the way you made me feel, your energy is why I turned. Reba said I have a lot of country singers on my team, but the more I heard you sing, the more I fell in love with your voice. I had to turn. 
Leyton chose Reba 

Liv Ciara sang Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter-- Wow! This was surprising that no one turned. Reba told her to come back. 

**FOUR CHAIR TURN**
Kirbi sang God Only Knows by King + Country-- Best voice and performance of the night, maybe both nights. All the coaches turned. Niall said I was all in from the beginning. Reba asked her what kind of music she likes to sing and she said country blues. Michael said he is also a person of faith like her and said you can transcend genres. I am good coach and I hope you'll consider joining Team Michael. Snoop invited mom out to the stage. Snoop said it is beautiful that you sang a song and chose to stand on your faith. 
Kirbi chose Niall
