The Voice Season 14: I'm Starving for More Battle Rounds

Team Kelly: Amber Sauer vs. Jorge Eduardo sang Starving by Hailee Steinfeld-- I thought this was such a fun battle. I liked both of them, they're multi-talented. I think they'd adapt well which makes for a strong competitor. For me, Amber overshadowed Jorge, to me she was the presence.  Adam said Amber you're a fantastic singer, Jorge, you're so diverse in what you do. I'd go with you Jorge. Blake said Amber you have so much stage presence, you had the most fun, I'd be going with you Amber. Kelly liked how Jorge brought the guitar in, and she loved how Amber sang in Spanish.
Kelly chose Jorge

Team Adam: Davison vs. Reid Umstattd sang Love on the Brain by Rihanna--  I found this to be somewhat of an odd song choice and pairing, these two guys couldn't be more different from each other, and even for Davison this song didn't really suit him. Blake said he would go with Davison. Kelly thought both of them held their own and she didn't know who she would pick.
Adam chose Reid

Montages.....

Team Blake: Bransen Ireland vs. Jaron Strom sang Head Over Boots by Jon Pardi, Blake chose Jaron

Team Kelly: Jamella vs. Teana Boston sang Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow by Carole King, Kelly chose Jamella

Team Alicia: Johnny Bliss vs. Megan Lee sang Versace on the Floor by Bruno Mars, Alicia chose Johnny

Team Alicia: Jordyn Simone vs. Kelsea Johnson sang Don't Let Go by En Vogue-- I thought Kelsea sounded great in rehearsals but when it came to the actual performance night, I felt like her voice was strained and she faltered. Jordyn's voice was strong and soulful. There was a real fullness and roundness to her tone, and it is so hard to believe she is only 17, I'd go with her.  Adam said he'd go with Jordyn. Blake liked that rasp that Kelsea had in her voice. Kelly also said that she would go with Kelsea.
Alicia chose Kelsea, Adam pushed to steal Jordyn right behind was Kelly. Adam argued that he said Jordyn won that battle, and Jordyn chose Adam



Who did I like tonight? If Kelsea's voice heals she'll be a contender and I see Jordyn taking notes from Adam and only growing from here.

The Voice Season 14: Night 2 of the Blinds, and It Don't Need No Doctor!

Davison sang To Love Somebody by The Bee Gees-- All the coaches debated turning but only Adam and Blake did. I agreed with Alicia's comment that he has a storyteller type of voice. Blake said you have a vintage quality to your voice. Adam said before I released my first album I listened to the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, and if that's the kind of record you wanna make, I know who you are. Blake promised that Davison would be the centerpiece of his team.
Davison chose Adam

Jaclyn Lovey sang Can't Help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley-- She may have been the person I have liked the most so far this season. At 16, wow, I loved her interpretation of that song. I loved the liberties she took with that song, her courage to change and add her own nuances. One of my favorites, loved this! Blake and Alicia turned. Blake said as I was listening to you singing, I was picturing myself riding a unicorn and holding a care bear.
Jaclyn chose Alicia

Sophia Dion sang What A Man-- No one turned, there were some pitch issues here. Kelly said she was looking for a little extra. Blake said the lyrics needed to be cleaned up a little.

Molly Stevens sang Heavenly Day by Patti Griffin-- Blake and Kelly turned almost immediately. Kelly said do you want to do soulful country rock? Kelly said I love all genres of music. Adam said Kelly would be a great fit for you, and Blake said how am I not surprised you said that. Truthfully, I felt like I didn't love her as much as they did. I almost felt like her voice was too husky!
Molly chose Kelly.... Blake dodged a bullet

Dylan Hartigan sang Danny's Song by Loggins and Messina-- I liked his voice, but I did NOT like the song choice. He's into folk rock. I have never been a huge fan of that song. His voice seems versatile though and Kelly was the only coach to turn, so we have a match!
Kelly chose Dylan

Pryor Baird sang I Don't Need No Doctor by Ray Charles-- Pryor has so much soul! There is a bluesy feel to his voice and there's this grit and rasp in his vocal. Adam loved the way he sang and played, and believes Pryor would be at home on his team. Blake said you're an incredible vocalist, you have that weathered sound, and I want you on my team. Alicia said you have such power and range.
Pryor chose Blake

 My prediction: I see Jaclyn and Pryor making big strides in this competition and being around for a good while! ;-)
