The Voice Season 27: The Blinds Are Never Too Much

Skip.... Colby Kordell sang Never Too Much by Luther Vandross-- I kept waiting for him to take this to the next level, but it never happened. Michael and John turned and unsurprisingly he chose John

Skip... Hailey Wright sang Before the Next Teardrop Falls-- Too old fashioned and underwhelming for me. Michael and Kelsea turned and she chose Kelsea. 

Fran Posla sang What the World Needs Now-- I enjoyed her uniqueness, she made cool choices with such a well know and traditional song. Michael said she sounds like Zoey Deschanel, and he mentioned that she was a little off pitch at times; she said she totally felt it and he said you're good. John said she sounds like his friend Corinne Bailey Rae, she enjoys artists like that and she also mentioned Allen Stone. Adam talked about her vibrato. Fran chose Adam. 

Dimitrius Graham sang Get You by Daniel Caesar-- Dimitrius was on American Idol Season 17 and made it to the Top 10. I am glad he came over to The Voice because I love his voice and he is talented. Right away, I love his song choice, it really showcases his vocals. The falsetto is hot. He shares that high school choir saved his life and he can sing classical music as well. Kelsea turned first and Michael turned right before it was over. Michael said what he does is very spiritual and he's a romantic and sexy singer. Kelsea liked how special his voice was, how he started up high and went down low. Dimitrius said Kelsea is beautiful, but he chose Michael. 

Olivia Kuper Harris sang Dream a Little Dream of Me by Doris Day-- She has an interesting sound, Adam turned first, then John, and Kelsea. I agree with Michael, I am not totally sure of her style or what she is trying to do. I wanted more power too. Olivia has been in music for a long time and has recently sang backup vocals for Teddy Swims. She chose John. 

Kaiya Hamilton sang ICU by Coco Jones-- This one here surprised me. I did not expect to her to be as good as she is! I loved the song choice, I loved her soulfulness. Michael and Kelsea turned and Kaiya chose Kelsea. 

Montaged Performances.... 

Aaron Rizzo sang Drop of Jupiter by Train and went to Team Buble

Kameron Jaso sang This Town by Niall Horan and went to Team Buble 

Nell Simmons sang Love Hangover and went to Team Legend

Skip.... Antonio Ramsey sang Every Little Step by Bobby Brown-- I love the song and no one turned, and rightfully so, the performance lacked energy and flair. John used his Coach's Replay however, so he went to Team Legend. 

Skip.... Robert Hunter sang Til You Can't by Cody Johnson-- There were pitch issues and the performance was lackluster at best. Kelsea and Michael turned. Robert chose Kelsea. 

Saved the best for last on this night... 

Lucia Flores Wiseman sang La Llorona by Angela Aguilar-- LOVED this performance. Lucia is so authentic. This was a well deserved four chair turn. The coaches were fighting it out for this one. Kelsea said the song made her teary. John said the song sounded like Amy Winehouse and Janis Joplin but in Spanish. Adam said she sounded different like a Brandi Carisle. Michael made his pitch in Spanish, he said if you don't pick me, I am gonna listen every week and thank you for lifting this whole place up. Lucia chose Adam. 

  

American Idol: The Journey Continues, The Top 14 Take the Stage

Laine Hardy sang That's All Right by Elvis Presley-- Luke liked his delivery and his confidence. Laine has improved so much, especially vocals and stage presence. I love the attitude that he brings to every song. 

Evelyn Cormier sang The Middle by Jimmy Eat World-- Her voice is unique but at some points it sounded like her voice was cracking.

Alyssa Raghu sang She Used to Be Mine by Sara Bareilles-- Lionel applauded the work she has put in and her growth. I have to admit that at first I didn't think I was going to like it. Once she started singing and hit the chorus she sounded strong.

Eddie Island sang Benny and the Jets by Elton John-- Luke said you make us smile, like what the heck is that outfit. Vocally make sure you stay on top of it, but it is so fun watching you. I agree with Luke, he does need to stay on top of his vocals. I understand that he was focused on the performance but the vocals were a little off.

Riley Thompson sang Suds in the Bucket by Sara Evans-- She's a little superstar. Luke loved her choice of song. Katy said she owned the stage.

Wade Cota sang Trouble by Ray LaMontange-- His voice sounded a little bit too gravely tonight. It was kind of weird if I am being honest. His full voice sounded good. The judges were much more excited than I was.

Dimitrius Graham sang Perfect by Ed Sheeran-- Surprisingly impressive! I love his voice, beautiful! The judges are all on their feet and so justified. WOW!

Madison Vandenburg sang Fallin' by Alicia Keys-- Her voice was so exposed during that performance and she sounded amazing. Katy said she carved out her own spot.

Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon sang We All Fall in Love Sometimes by Elton John-- Katy said I am so blessed to have this job and to meet people like you.

Uche sang Finesse by Bruno Mars-- Performance wise it was great but vocal wise, it left a lot to be desired.

Alejandro Aranda sang One Dance by Drake-- Kinda weird that Luke called him a Vegas act. Lionel said he has a lot of versatility. I like him more than I liked that performance but I think he should go through.

Ashley Hess sang Fix You by Coldplay-- Her performance seemed sincere but somehow that song is a bit overdone. Katy compared her to a Diana Krall or Carole King.

Laci Kaye Booth sang I Miss You by Blink 182-- Katy called her performance timeless. Luke liked that she called herself out for the spray tan. I loved how she did this song, it was beautiful, Blink 182 kind of does it as a ballad too, but the way she slowed it down and matched with her beautiful vocals was stunning.

Walker Burroughs sang Climb Every Mountain from The Sound of Music-- That was a great performance, and Luke is right, that is a tough song.

Who is going home? Evelyn, Wade, Ashley, and a toss up between Eddie and Jeremiah
