Team Blake: Keith Paluso vs. Dave Finley singing I'm A One Woman Man by George Jones-- They are well matched. I honestly cannot choose-- Dave and Keith both brought it! Wow, I loved their range, their sheer talent, the vocals had so much swagger. J. Hud said you took us on a journey and you made it work. Kelly said it felt raw and organic, it's just who you are. Adam said I am not gonna say who won because it goes against the spirit of what that was. Keith the fact that you're not country and Kelly thought you were is a testament to you, and Dave you're a badass. No one could choose!
Blake chose Dave! Keith needs to get saved! Yes! Adam saved Keith!
Team Adam: Emily Hough vs. Reagan Strange singing Photograph by Ed Sheeran-- I would give the edge to Reagan. I just loved her tone and intonation. Blake praised both young ladies. J. Hud said Reagan embraced the moment, and Emily you have such a big voice. You sounded amazing together. Kelly said Reagan's voice is like poetry, and she was captivated by Emily. Adam said I am such a big fan of the both of you and this is going to break my heart.
Adam chose Reagan, he said she has this thing about her, I can't explain it, she's just special.
Team Jennifer: Franc West vs. Matt Johnson singing Too Close by Alex Clare-- I was okay with this, I didn't love the song. Matt was smoother, but Franc definitely had a swagger. Adam said he loved both of them but liked Matt's game face. Blake said he would go with Franc. Jennifer said she loved both of them, they each bring something different. She said something about Franc's swagger and how his voice cuts through her like a knife. I knew she was going to pick him.
Jennifer chose Franc
Team Kelly: Abby Cates vs. Delaney Silvernell singing Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding-- Delaney won this by a mile. Her tone is warm and smooth. By contrast, Abby sounded inexperienced, her phrasing was odd. Adam noted Delaney's experience but said he wouldn't choose between them and J. Hud echoed his sentiment. Blake said he would go with Delaney because you can hear the experience in her voice.
Kelly chose Abby and Adam immediately stole Delaney
Team Adam: Foushee vs. Radha singing Growing Pains by Aleesia Cara-- Adam chose Radha
Team Kelly: Mikele Buck vs. Chevel Shepherd singing You Look So Good In Love by George Strait-- Kelly chose Chevel
Team Jennifer: Audri Bartholomew vs. Makenzie Thomas singing Always Be My Baby by Mariah Carey-- Jennifer chose Makenzie
Team Adam: Jake Wells vs. Natalie Brady singing Closing Time by Semisonic-- OMG! Jake is my absolute fave! I love how he performs, I love his voice. He made Natalie better. Their voices blended so well! Blake said Jake, you were a one chair turn, clearly you got away from us. He said he would maybe go with Natalie. Kelly said Jake you look like Brad Pitt meets Kurt Cobain and you're a good singer. Adam thought the version of the song was so special, it seemed like a finale performance.
Adam said I need to choose who spoke to me the most.
Adam chose Jake
Team Jennifer: Tyshawn Colquitt vs. Zaxai singing Love Lies by Khalid and Normani-- I love both of these artists, they are both very different, but both true R&B artists. I love how they took this song and had two guys singing it. The dynamics were incredible! I could not see parting with either one of these guys, too close to call for me. Kelly said she would lean towards Zaxai. Blake said you should go with whoever you blocked Kelly to get.
Jennifer chose Tyshawn, and Kelly needs to steal Zaxai! Yes!!! Kelly saved Zaxai!
Who stood out to me tonight? Jake Wells, Zaxai, Delaney, Tyshawn, Keith and Dave! There were so many great performances tonight. Who did you love? Leave some LOVE in the comments. ;-)

The Voice Season 15: The Blinds Are Drippin' In Finesse
Caeland Garner sang Dancing in the Moonlight by King Harvest-- This was a toned down performance of Dancing in the Moonlight. I definitely would have liked to see more dynamics. Blake is right when he said your voice sounds like it comes from a different time. He does seem like a 70s throwback artist. Jennifer thought he had a beautiful instrument. Jen and Blake were the only ones to turn. Caeland knows Red Marlowe who was Team Blake not too long ago, so of course.....
Caeland chose Blake
Madison Cain sang You Oughta Know by Alanis Morrissette-- She grew up in a musical family; her dad was the keyboarder for Journey! I love this song choice but this needed to be sung like Kelly said, with some abandon. It needed to be dirtied up a little bit. This song is angry and reckless!
Madison didn't get a chair turn but she did make it to the comeback stage!
Lela sang Miami by Camilla Cabello-- Lela, she is young, it's impressive that she has such a good tone. Being bilingual in music is so essential right now and she did that effortlessly. She definitely has some work to do if she wants to keep up with some of the experienced artists but the has the goods. Kelly and J. Hud turned for her. Jenn asked if she dances and she said she does. Kelly encouraged her to keep singing in Spanish.
Lela chose Jennifer
Cody Ray Raymond sang Born Under a Bad Sign by Albert King-- Okay, so I will say I was not crazy about it. Jennifer liked how soulful he was. Kelly liked his runs and how effortless he sounded. He says his musical taste is Seattle bands from the 90s, and Adam says he regrets not turning. I think he and Adam would have been a great match. Cody also says he is influenced a lot by Boyz II Men.
Cody chose Kelly
Jake Wells sang When the Stars Go Blue by Ryan Adams-- This was my performance of the night! Jake's voice is just pretty! He has vulnerability, emotion when he sings; there is something special about him. He sings gospel music and sings in church with his family. I low key panicked a little bit cause the end of his performance came up and no one was turning, but of course, Adam saved the day and turned. Adam said you're so different and to not reward that is the antithesis of what The Voice is all about. J. Hud talked about the layers in his voice. She said good on Adam for turning around and not missing that, not letting his voice slip through the cracks. I love how humble she is!
Adam chose Jake
Abby Cates sang Scars to Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara-- Abby has a gorgeous tone to her voice, she does sound like Tori Kelly like Kelly said. Kelly was the only one who turned for her. I am actually surprised she was only a one chair turn, she might be a surprise in this competition.
Kelly chose Abby
Funsho sang Finesse by Bruno Mars-- This definitely should have been a 4 chair turn! Blake didn't turn. Adam was first out, then Jenn, and Kelly. Funsho made this song his own which is so hard because Bruno Mars is such a stylized artist, and it is not easy to sing anything he does. I loved his big notes, I loved his falsetto. This was so good! Adam said Bruno is one of the greatest singers, your vocal is so complete, you literally have it all. Adam said I led and they followed. Kelly said I loved that you did such a good job making that song your own. Jenn said your voice did not get lost in the music, that's what made me turn my chair.
Funsho chose Adam because he is a HUGE fan
Funsho is going to go far in this and Jake Wells and Abby Cates are HUGE dark horses in this! <3 nbsp="" p="">
