It's Time for the Knockouts on The Voice: Season 9

Team Adam: Andi & Alex sang Stupid Boy by Keith Urban versus Blaine Mitchell sang Hold Back the River by James Bay-- I loved Blaine's performance, there was something so ethereal about it. I felt so much from his vocal and the performance was just genuine. I think this beats Andi & Alex by a mile. I like these two ladies, but Blaine is in another class. I think that the girls needed a more powerful song to beat Blaine. Blake said, I screwed up by letting you go Blaine. He commented on the twins voices but said that they needed a more dynamic song. Pharrell said there is so much more than we ever thought with you Blaine. Gwen thought Blaine's performance was incredible. Adam said the ladies shined on their own, and with Blaine he said his power is amazing.
My choice: Blaine
Adam's choice: Blaine

Team Gwen: Braiden Sunshine sang Feeling Good by Michael Buble versus Ellie Lawrence sang Cool for the Summer by Demi Lovato-- Braiden's voice is so pure, I swear he has perfect pitch. To be 15 and to be able to sound like this, musical prodigy! Wow!   Ellie's voice cracked a couple times, it slurred a little, and I felt like it was too gravelly. Adam said Braiden has grown incredibly, he commended Ellie for keeping it together, but he said this is Braiden's. Pharrell said who would have thought a 15 year old guy could take on a song like that; Ellie I thought you fought up there. Gwen said Ellie was a little off tonight, and she was so proud of Braiden and his choice of song and knowing who he is.
My choice: Braiden
Gwen's choice: Braiden

Team Blake: Barrett Baber sang Colder Weather by The Zac Brown Band versus Blind Joe Mama'a Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson-- Both of these guys are clearly pros. I think tonight Barrett beat Joe, his performance was slightly stronger than Joe's performance tonight. Pharrell said Joe took the song to different heights; he said Barrett you take people on an excursion every time you sing. Gwen said Joe's voice is so powerful but with Barrett, you naturally know who you are. Adam said Barrett is already established and so authentic, but he is also a fan of Joe's. Blake said that they have both overcome so much in their lives, and it makes him want to be a better man. Blake said he finds Barrett a little bit more polished.
My choice: Barrett
Blake's choice: Barrett

Team Pharrell: Madi Davis sang A Case of You by Joni Mitchell versus Amy Vachal sang A Sunday Kind of Love by Etta James--Amy's voice is absolutely hypnotic. I loved everything about her performance, and I definitely saw the influence Rihanna played in it. I didn't love Madi's performance for some reason, odd song choice. Adam said he turned into a huge Madi fan, he said Amy, one of my biggest regrets was not being able to turn for you. Blake said Amy, the notes you sing blow me away, and Madi you snuck up on me today. Pharrell said Madi there is something magical about where you take the song, and Amy is special.
My choice: Amy
Pharrell's choice: Madi
Someone steal Amy! Please! Adam and Blake are trying to get in on the steal for Amy. Adam said, I know your moves before you even make them baby! Blake then said are you really gonna choose Sinead O'Connor down there, he might have time for you after he is done with his Blue Man Group audition.
Amy chose Adam

Team Blake: Chance Pena sang Demons by Imagine Dragons versus Ivonne Acero sang Part of Me by Katy Perry-- I think Ivonne wins because she chose the better song. It really allowed her vocals to fly. Being that he is 15, Chance did really well, I think with that song, it was hard to hear his voice. Gwen said she wanted to get on stage and sing harmonies with Ivonne. Adam wanted Chance to have more of an emotional breakthrough and thought that the song was wrong. He said Ivonne has had an unbelievable amount of growth and loved her today. Blake said he got the two best steals in these two.
My choice: Ivonne
Blake's choice: Ivonne

Team Blake: Jordan Smith sang Set Fire to the Rain by Adele versus Viktor Kiraly sang If I Ain't Got You by Alicia Keys-- Oh my Lord! Jordan literally made me smile and cry at the same time. I loved Viktor too! Can both win? I didn't see any problems with either performance. Viktor's voice was powerful. Blake said Viktor I wasn't expecting that from you. Blake said Jordan that was one of the best vocals I have heard. Pharrell said Viktor was like a tiger and took it to the next level, and Jordan sang eloquently and effortlessly. Gwen said Viktor you are incredibly talented, and Jordan you're a freak of nature, I don't know how you are able to do what you do. Adam said Viktor struggled in practice but he came through today and did not get rattled. Adam said Jordan, we refer to you affectionately as the unicorn, no one has affected me like you have.
My choice: Both!
Adam's choice: Jordan
Someone steal Viktor please!
Jordan is backstage cheering as Viktor is stolen by Gwen!

The Last Week of Battles on The Voice: Season 9

Team Blake: Blaine Mitchell versus Blind Joe singing Old Time Rock and Roll by Bob Seger-- I loved the way their personalities came out in the song. Both of them sounded great, very on point. I liked how Blind Job spoke throughout the performance. I honestly think both of these guys deserve to go forward. I also felt like both of them had a great deal of soul in their voices. Pharrell thought Blaine took it up a notch and he didn't except Joe to be as soulful as he was. Gwen loved how Blaine worked the stage, and she thinks Joe has such a gift. Adam loved how unruly the performance was, he said he loves Joe, but there was something revealing about Blaine. Blake asked Joe if he could borrow his cane to beat Adam, and he thought this was a tie.
My choice: Blaine but steal Joe
Blake's choice: Blind Joe
Someone steal Blaine! YES!!! Adam steals Blaine!

Team Adam: Cassandra Robertson versus Viktor Kiraly singing Nobody Knows by Kevin Sharpe-- I didn't love the song, but I thought these two vocalists did the best that they could with it. They blended well and made it seem easy. Blake said he is impressed with Cassandra, and he said Viktor was even more impressive for sticking with her. Pharrell said Cassandra was effortless and he would give it to her. Gwen thought Viktor had a beautiful voice, and she is blown away by Cassandra. Adam said not only are the technically amazing but they connected emotionally with the song.
My choice: Viktor
Adam's choice: Viktor

Team Gwen: Chase Kerby versus Korin Bukowski singing Samson by Regina Spektor-- Despite the fact that the song was so quiet, both of these singers were really powerful because of the performance and delivery. Adam liked Chase's falsetto and full voice but thought the transition was tough. He said Korin was gifted. Blake seemed to lean towards Chase and how emotional his voice was. Gwen found it intense, awesome, and so good.
My choice: Chase
Gwen's choice: Korin

Team Pharrell: Evan McKeel versus Riley Bieberer singing Higher Ground by Stevie Wonder-- I loved both of them, I thought they both kept making each other raise their game. It was fun to wtch. I definitely give the edge to Evan, he's not just a voice but a performer and a personality. Gwen loved Evan's presence. Adam thought both of them had triumphs but he would go with Evan. Blake loved Evan's performance but thought Riley's voice was more different.
My choice: Evan
Pharrell's choice: Evan
And Riley is stolen by Gwen! Yay!

Team Gwen: Braiden Sunshine versus Lyndsey Elm singing No One is to Blame by Howard Jones-- They were very well matched. I enjoyed both of them. Adam said you really cannot go wrong with either one of these people, no help for you Gwen. Blake said we have only seen the tip of the iceberg with Braiden, flip a coin Gwen. Pharrell said Braiden there is so much more behind you, and Lyndsey you colored the song beautifully. Gwen said Lyndsey your star came out tonight, and Braiden it's incredible to work with someone like you.
My choice: flip a coin, love them both
Gwen's choice: Braiden

Team Adam: Andi & Alex versus Chance Pena singing Wherever You Will Go by The Calling-- I love all of them, all three of them! Chance is a total heartthrob to me, I think he can go deep in this competition. Andi & Alex have something very special about them, the way they sound together is like nothing I've ever heard. Blake said he loves the sound of Chance's voice. Pharrell said when Andi & Alex sing, it is nothing short of magic. Chance you sound unbelievable and your voice lead in this performance. Gwen said you guys are magic, candy in my ears, Chance, I wish I could turn back time, I'd be losing my mind over you. Adam said Andi & Alex are so in sync, and he believes that a group should be born of the three of them.
My choice: Chance........ Andi & Alex
Adam's choice: Andi & Alex
Blake said you proved that you should be on this show, I missed it in the blinds, but I am not missing it here-- Blake stole Chance

Night 4 of The Blinds on The Voice Season 9

Darius Scott sang You Make Wanna by Usher-- I think Darius has a good voice, but not a great voice. I liked when he got towards the middle of the song, the vocal embellishments were interesting. Adam turned followed by Gwen and Pharrell. Gwen said she's had the longest career and he should pick her cause she's going to help him.
Darius chose Pharrell

Korin Bukowski sang Cecilia and The Satellite by Andrew McMahon-- Gwen was the only one who turned around. I liked this girl, and I think she is so different that she might do well. The trouble I have with her is that I think, based on that performance, that her voice is just average.
Gwen chose Korin

Krista Hughes sang Angel from Montgomery by -- All four of them turned around and rightfully so, this girl has an amazing voice. I think Blake is right, she could potentially win this thing.  Adam thought she was flawless. Pharrell said he takes his hat off to her. Blake said I take nothing for granted. Blake told her to pick him because he knows and understands who her musical influences are.
Krista chose Blake

Janae Strothers sang Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars-- No one turned. Sad face. Blake said she was having a party on stage, but he felt like she was falling out of the pocket. I agree with Blake.

Chance Pena sang I See Fire by Ed Sheeran-- Adam is the only one who turned. Adam said you guys screwed up so badly. Pharrell said he gave a flawless performance. Gwen said she has no idea why she didn't push. What I liked about Chance is the maturity in his voice and how he sounded so different.
Adam chose Chance

Viktor Kiraly sang What's Going On by Marvin Gaye-- Another four chair turner! This guy impressed me, I was smiling throughout the performance cause he was so good. His dynamics were good, and just when I thought he reached as high as he could in that song, he took it to another level. Adam turned at the beginning and he was trying to keep a poker face, but he said it didn't work because he was so good. Adam told him that he could win this entire thing. Blake asked if he performs a lot, and called him a phenomenal singer and said he could win this thing. He said he may not be the obvious choice and Adam said, certainly not. Pharrell liked his voice paired with his personality. Gwen liked the richness in his voice.
Viktor chose Adam

Julie Broadus sang Brand New Key by Melanie-- No one turned. Blake liked the vintage sound of her voice. Gwen encouraged her to come back and said she would recognize her voice.

Cole Criske sang Dreaming with a Broken Heart by John Mayer-- The fact that he is 16 and sang with that much conviction and sincerity is amazing. He got Gwen, Pharrell, and Blake to turn. Blake said he has recorded with Xena and he's won The Voice four times. Gwen spoke about "Tragic Kingdom" and how tragedy in her life inspired her to write that album. Pharrell said he'd love the opportunity to work with him.
Cole chose Blake

Alex Kandel sang Bright by Echosmith-- I actually really like this girl. She has a lot of personality and it really came out in her vocal and in her performance. Gwen liked the character in her voice. Adam felt like it started out so strong and the vocal only needed small tweaks.
Alex chose Gwen

Celeste Betton sang Love You I Do by Jennifer Hudson-- I liked her, there were some small weird things in there that need to be taken care of but it is nothing Pharrell won't be able to fix. Pharrell said she is great and amazing. He said he pushed his button because of the ambition she had.
Pharrell chose Celeste

Andi & Alex sang Thank You by Dido-- All four chairs turned and all four coaches were on their feet. This interpretation of the song was so inspiring. Adam said you're one of the most perfectly fitting duos I've ever heard. That was astonishing. Blake said, oh my God, that was phenomenal, I'm the only person that has taken a duo to the finale. Gwen said obviously that version came from you guys and it was super creative, we'd be an amazing team. Pharrell said I would consider working with you another lesson.
Andi & Alex picked Adam

Faves of the night: Viktor Kiraly, Cole Criske, Alex Kandel, and Alex & Andi
