The Voice Season 23: My My My The Finale

Team Blake: Grace West sang The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia by Reba McEntire-- Blake thought it was incredible. I think she is a great singer but I would have chosen something a little more uptempo, I also did not feel that did anything to showcase her vocals. She played it too safe. 

Team Kelly: D Smooth sang My My My by Johnny Gill-- Loved this performance, this is what I imagine him singing, this is totally his vibe every day. I did not want the performance to end. The coaches are on their feet. Chance said that was one of my fave performances this season. Kelly said you are already a star, you performed like this was your audience. I agree, he has such star quality. 

Team Chance: Sorelle sang A Million Reasons by Lady Gaga-- This has been their best performance to date. What a great arrangement and I loved how they built the dynamics throughout the song. Niall said girl that was so beautiful, it was nice to see you all stripped back like that. Chance said I am incredibly proud of you guys and your harmonies were so tight, it was nice to hear you all individually. 

Team Blake: Noivas sang Cold by Chris Stapleton-- I thought it started out a little rough but I thought by the end that he completely brought it. All the emotion and all the feeling was there. Kelly said what a smart song choice for you, it was a little country and a little bit of rock and roll. Blake said your personality and the way you make people feel is country, you killed it dude, congratulations. 

Team Niall: Gina Miles sang Style by Taylor Swift-- I liked this conceptually, it was really cool. I thought there were some hiccups but overall great performance. Chance thought it was an amazing performance, you have a distinct tone in your voice, and you are your own artist. Niall said you are a superstar. This was the perfect song for you, and I can't wait to see what kind of album you make. 

Team Blake: Grace West sang She's Got You by Patsy Cline-- I can tell Blake is really excited about this performance. She has a great voice, I like that she modernized this a little bit because Patsy Cline can come off as very old fashioned. Niall said Grace you saved your best two performances for tonight. He said the jump from the top of your range to the bottom was impressive. Blake said everyone sounds really good, that was unbelievable Grace. 

Team Blake: Noivas sang Fly Away by Lenny Kravitz-- It was certainly an uptempo performance. I felt like vocally he lost control at times but it was such a strong and powerful performance that I almost feel like you can excuse that. Chance said I knew you were gonna turn up,  and you deserve to win the show. Blake said we finally started this finally, you killed it, congratulations. 

Team Kelly: D Smooth sang What You Won't Do For Love by Bobby Caldwell-- D Smooth has put together these two awesome performances. I loved this song for him. I really hope we see him in music going forward.  Kelly loved his dynamics, you are so smooth man. You are so creative, you're a producer, a writer, all these things. 

Team Chance: Sorelle sang Ain't No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell-- Wow, that was an amazing performance. It just made me smile and it made me feel everything. Blake said you guys sound like a record when you get up here. He said to have all three of you singing in the pocket like that is a phenomenon. Chance said choreography on point, voices on point, it was pitch perfect, Blake is so salty right now.  

Team Niall: Gina Miles sang Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinead O'Connor-- That was a stunning performance, she really is putting up a fight. She could be the dark horse in this. Niall said that was absolutely incredible. I won't be forgetting that one any time soon. 

**I'll post videos when they upload 

This could be anyone's night to win. 

The Voice Season 23: The Lives Finally Begin

Team Niall: Ryley Tate Wilson sang Vienna by Billy Joel-- I am a huge Ryley Tate fan but this song choice was old and dated on him. I wanted to hear something newer, contemporary. I hope this isn't his only song. 

Team Chance: Ray Uriel sang Can You Stand the Rain by New Edition-- I am obsessed with his song choice, after all these years, this song still feels relevant. I wanted his outfit to be different for this song. I thought he gave a good performance, but he left me wanting more. I didn't feel satisfied. Blake said you're so cool on stage, killer job. 

Team Kelly: Holly Brand sang Rumor Has It by Reba McEntire-- Great song choice for Holly. She sounded beautiful and she showed her range through that song. Chance said she killed the whole performance. Kelly said she has no doubt Reba would be so proud. 

Team Blake: Noivas sang Skyfall by Adele-- Wow, that performance was a testimony. It was so powerful. The coaches are on their feet. Noivas was really overcome with emotion. Blake said every time he does something he does it different, he does it in the moment. 

Team Niall: Gina Miles sang All I Want by Kodaline-- I wanted to love this performance but this song choice fell short for me as well. Niall saw her confidence. 

Team Chance: Sorelle sang Fallin' by Alicia Keys-- That was such a cool performance and you could tell that they put so much into that. Kelly said you guys are incredible. Chance said I love that you keep your confidence, the pitch and the choreography were there. 

Team Kelly: D Smooth sang Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran-- I didn't think I was going to like this for him, but I loved it. He made it more soulful, he made it his own. Blake said I don't know how you don't vote that guy into the finale. You were comfortable on stage, cool, and unique. Kelly said I am such a fan and so proud of you, it's straight from the heart. 

Team Blake: Grace West sang Til I Can Make it on My Own by Tammy Wynette-- Niall said one of my favorite voices on this show. I've always been a fan of you. You need to be in the final. Blake said I will be stunned if you don't make it into the finale. You're the real deal.  

The 5 Finalists from Real Time Voting:

The Voice Season 23: Team's Kelly and Niall Fight for a Spot in the Lives

Team Kelly: D Smooth sang Location by Khalid-- That was like old school R&B at its finest. Chance liked how he was doing some improve towards the end. Blake said I am gonna be doing the same thing with my mic that you did there, no one has lived up to their name like you. Niall said I bet you never do that the same. Kelly said he really made the song his own. 

Team Niall: Ross Clayton sang With or Without You by U2-- Ross is one of those throwback artists, that was such a cool performance. I am surprised when Chance says he doesn't know that song. Kelly complimented his range. Blake said it went from good to incredible. Niall said he was proud of him and that he nailed it as usual. 

Team Kelly: Cait Martin sang Alone by Heart-- Wow, she actually pulled that off. I needed that big ending. Niall said song choice phenomenal, pure and clean. Chance thought it was a dope performance. Blake said you were a monster, it sounded like the pitch got off but then you made it back. Kelly said I need to think who you are going up against in the lives. 

Team Niall: Gina Miles sang Wicked Games by Chris Isaak-- What a stunning song choice for her. She sounds absolutely amazing. Chance said I don't know you had so much control of your lower register. Kelly said that was crazy, the control. You're rad. Blake said if you don't put her through, not only are you fired from the show, you're not my son anymore. That was the best thing I have heard on this show in a while. Niall said you absolutely nailed that performance, I still have goosebumps. 

Team Kelly: Neil Salsich sang Have a Little Faith by John Hiatt-- That was a gorgeous performance. I just loved how passionate he was, it's like he was talking to someone and telling a story, took it almost gospel style. Blake said all you do is come out here and be great. Niall said the runs were great and the passion you throw into the performance, magic. Chance said you know I rock with you, dynamic performance, great song choice. Kelly said your purpose and passion is on the stage, it's like home to you. 

Team Niall: Tasha Jessen sang Here by Alessia Cara-- I feel like she is under pitch. I think she got too much in her head during the performance. She is also behind the beat. Chance said it started rocky but then she settled in. Kelly said she felt like the song got away from her a bit, but she is a fan of hers. Niall said it got a little bit away, but you got it back and I am really proud of you. 

Team Kelly: Ali sang Never Alone by Tori Kelly and Kirk Franklin-- That was definitely emotional performance. Niall said you have a soul with storytelling, and I have been a fan since day one. Chance said you impress me every time. Blake said you have such a vision, and it got away from you a little bit, but you've become such a fan favorite. Kelly said you move me. 

Team Niall: Michael B. sang The Joke by Brandi Carlile-- What a solid performance. I could tell that Michael felt every note of that song. Kelly said that was crazy, that was so good.  All that stuff at the end, I didn't need it but you gave it to me anyway. Blake said Michael, that was incredible. I haven't seen anyone throw more of themselves into a performance than you have. Chance said I am always a fan of Michael B. Niall said you connect to this lyric and it's unlike anyone in this competition. 

Team Kelly: Holly Brand sang Bring on the Rain by Jo Dee Messina-- She has a great voice, I don't think that song best showcased her voice, but looking at her body of work, she is so talented. Blake said it's a tough part of the competition, you did a killer job. Niall said it's nice to see that side of you. Chance said you sang that first line and I sat up. Kelly said you bring us to that place. 

Team Niall: Ryley Tate Wilson sang When the Party's Over by Billie Eilish-- I felt he connected so well with the lyrics of the song, he poured everything into that performance. It was truly emotional. Chance said you surprise me every week, greatest show of control out of all the performances. Kelly said I am very very very scared of you, you are so good. Blake said, unbelievable, all the different parts of your voice, you know you gotta put Ryley through. Niall said, 15 years old, Ryley is mature beyond his years, I am so proud of you.
