The Voice Season 28: The Battles Come to a Close and the Knockouts Begin

Team Snoop: Ralph Edwards vs. Jerrell Melton sang Lose Control by Teddy Swims-- I have a feeling Snoop is going to choose Ralph; however, I would choose Jerrell. I liked how polished his runs were in this performance. Niall loved the song choice. Reba said powerful and smooth like butter. She loved the harmonies, she said it would be a hard decision but she would go with Jerrell. Michael compared Jerrell to Sam Cooke but said Ralph will go far on the show. Snoop said Jerrell went out of the box.   
Snoop chose Ralph, just like I suspected 


Team Reba: Shan Scott vs. Peyton Kyle sang Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House-- I have been a huge Peyton fan since the blinds. I love what he did here. Shan, I didn't really pay attention to, but I loved her here. I would still go with Peyton. He just impressed the heck out of me. I also loved this acoustic version. Snoop couldn't choose. Michael would lean more Peyton and Niall would lean more Shan. Reba said she loves the break in Peyton's voice. 
Reba chose Peyton


Lightning Round: 
Team Michael: Teo Ramdel vs. Elias Gomez sang Die with a Smile by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars 
Michael chose Teo 

Team Niall: Dek of Hearts vs. Jack Austin sang I Will Wait by Mumford & Sons-- I love both artists. I think I would lean with Jack just because I love his theater influence and I am excited to see how he grows. Reba said Dek of Hearts you guys are great, I love the harmonies, Jack, you're cute as a button. I'd pick all four of you. Michael said Jack you fit in perfectly with Dek of Hearts. Snoop liked how Jack was dancing up there. He said they were all just having fun up there and he's glad that he doesn't have to choose. 
Niall chose Dek of Hearts and Michael stole Jack



The Knockouts:

Mega Mentor: Joe Walsh 

Team Reba: Aubrey Nicole sang I'm Gonna Love You Through It by Martina McBride and Leyton Robinson sang I Could Use a Love Song by Maren Morris --  Aubrey sounded beautiful! I love Leyton but I think she sounded a little shouty in this performance. Reba said Leyton took great direction from Joe. Reba said Aubrey your performance reminded me of how life goes on. I'm leaning towards Aubrey, and Reba chose Aubrey. 


Zac Brown is the other Mega Mentor. 

Team Snoop: Ralph Edwards sang Dive by Ed Sheeran and Kenny Iko sang There Goes My Baby by Usher-- I love Kenny's confidence and energy on the stage. He is definitely my type of artist and song choice was perfect for him. Reba was standing up for him! She loved it. I liked Ralph's performance as well but I think ultimately, I felt Kenny's a little more. Niall said Kenny I feel like I'm watching a pop star. Reba said Kenny you took control of the stage, Ralph your voice comes from your toenails. Michael said Kenny you prepare for your performances and come and hang with us. Ralph you sang with ease. Snoop said Kenny you're a superstar, and this is called showbiz. Ralph you showed that there is more to your voice. 
Snoop chose Ralph, wow, I think that was an oversight. 



Team Niall: Sadie Dahl sang Good at Goodbyes by Sam Smith and Ava Nat sang Hopelessly Devoted to You by Olivia Newton John-- I loved both ladies, but I think I agree with Niall, I lean towards Ava and her storytelling abilities. Reba said she can't choose, she'd pick them both. Sadie your vibrato and Ava your beautiful tone. Ava I'd give you the edge today. Snoop said he would lean towards Sadie. Niall said Sadie you straightened out your pitch issues, and Ava you told a beautiful story. Niall said Ava is consistent every time, I feel so confident.
Niall chose Ava
