The Voice Season 14: The Knockouts Bring Me to Life

Not only do the coaches have steals this year but they also have a save where they can save one of their own team members.

Team Blake: Kyla Jade sang You Don't Know Me by Leslie Gore vs. Jaclyn Lovey sang Put Your Records On by Corinne Bailey Rae-- Blake's adviser was his winning team member from last season Chloe Kohanski who I absolutely loved. Overall, Kyla was the winner. I did feel, however, that the performance got away from her at the end, it was a little bit out of control on the vocal. Jaclyn lacks experience but has such a sweet vocal quality, she has natural talent. Alicia said she is so proud of how free Jaclyn is on stage, and she said Kyla, we just died with that.
Blake chose Kyla

Team Kelly: Justin Kilgore sang Shameless by Garth Brooks vs. Kaleb Lee sang Free by Zac Brown Band-- Kelly's adviser is Cassadee Pope who won Season 3 with Blake. Kaleb is my choice here, like Adam said he is pure country and the real deal. Adam also nailed the issue with Justin, he was super passionate but his vocals were not on point tonight. I think he struggled with who he is as an artist. He took it in stride. Blake regrets letting go of Kaleb, he should be! Kaleb is a contender. 
Kelly chose Kaleb

Team Adam: Jackie Foster sang Bring Me to Life by Evanesence vs. Mia Boostrom sang Wade in the Water -- Adam's adviser is Jordan Smith who won Season 9! Jackie is singing one of my favorite songs and Amy Lee is one of my favorite female voices, so I totally loved this. I believe her as an alternative singer. Her vocal, especially at the end, was so strong! Mia was also strong, she took an old school gospel song and really jazzed it up. Blake said, you're two very different artists at the top of your game, Jackie, you're as good as it gets, and Mia, you're the surprise here. Kelly said you couldn't go wrong with either. Alicia said Jackie got stronger and stronger, and Mia it was amazing to hear such a warm voice. Both are awesome, I loved both and agree, he can't go wrong with either.
Adam chose Mia,
and Kelly is trying to steal Jackie back and Adam wants to save her!
Blake then jumped in to steal her as well. Adam said you told me backstage that you want to do rock and roll music and I feel I am the best to help you with that. Blake said I have never kicked you out of the house. Alicia also wants it! Alicia said I turned for you in the blinds and the battles.
Jackie chose Alicia! Wow!

Team Blake: Austin Giorgio sang Almost Like Being in Love by Frank Sinatra vs. Spensha Baker sang Broken Halos by Chris Stapleton-- These two are very different, it's kind of like matching apples and oranges against each other. Austin has so much personality and such a great voice, he sold this performance like no one's business. Spensha has a soulful vibe, she is so talented and I think has a place in country music. Alicia liked how Austin talked to the audience and liked how emotional Spensha got with the performance. Adam sees so much that is undiscovered in both of them. Blake said Austin you have a passion for entertaining and Spensha you have talent for connecting with a song.
Blake chose Spensha and saved Austin, Austin said, you really are what people say you are even behind closed doors.

Team Alicia: Johnny Bliss sang Alive by Sia vs. Miya sang Castle on the Hill by Ed Sheeran-- Alicia's adviser is Chris Blue who won with Team Alicia! I like Miya but she struggled with this song choice. Johnny was striving with this performance becacuse he made it his own. Sia songs are tough to sing and this was perfect. Blake said Miya didn't quite live up to her potential so he'd give it to Johnny. Alicia said Miya, your runs are beautiful, and Johnny you poured everything you had into this, it was pure emotion.
Alicia chose Johnny

Team Adam: Drew Cole Slow Hands by Niall Horan sang vs. Jackie Verna sang American Honey by Lady Antebellum-- What an awesome song choice for Drew, I love this. He executed this perfectly, he dirtied it up a little more than Niall which is perfect since he is a rocker. Jackie was awesome, I loved her song choice. Her power grew as the performance went on. Blake said Drew is more like Adam so he thinks Adam would lean more towards him but then again has a fetish for winning with a country artist and Jackie is a pure country artist. Adam said both were special and he didn't want to lose either one.
Adam chose Jackie, Adam c'mon steal Drew! And yes, Adam saves Drew and Blake is trying to steal him. Adam said don't be seduced by this maniac over here, you're one of my favorites on my team. Drew said, I am a loyal man, I have to pick Adam again.

Sorry all, I wanted to post videos with this, maybe I will add them tomorrow.

My picks tonight.... Kaleb Lee, Jackie Foster, Austin Giorgio, Spensha Baker, Drew Cole, and Jackie Verna! Strong performances tonight!

The Voice Season 14: The Battles Are So Good.... Just Thinking Out Loud

Team Blake: Kaleb Lee vs. Pryor Baird sang Don't Do Me Like That by Tom Petty-- I thought both of them had such strong and unique tones. I like Kaleb's stage presence more but I like Pryor's voice more. Alicia liked that they both had such vibrant energy and she would go with Kaleb. Adam said he fought for Pryor in the blinds, but wanted to point out Kaleb's subtle talent despite that fact that he would go with Pryor. Blake said thanks for coming to The Voice and letting us experience this.
Blake chose Pryor and Kelly stole Caleb!

Team Adam: Genesis Diaz vs. Mia Boostrom sang Because of You by Kelly Clarkson-- I liked Genesis more, I thought she pushed just a little further than Mia did vocally. Kelly said she's been singing that song a long time, and wrote it at 16. Kelly said Genesis, you're a pistol, but Mia the song is better suited to you. I liked both of you. Adam likes how almost out of control Genesis is, and he thinks both of them are so different.
Adam chose Mia

Team Kelly: Justin Kilgore vs. Molly Stevens sang Burning House by Cam-- I would go with Justin, although I felt like the feeling in this song and performance was so genuine for both of them. Adam said selfishly I would go with you Justin, but Molly, when you sing, people know that it's you. Blake said I turned for both of you, Justin, your presence is wide and deep, and Molly your falsetto, I've never heard anything like that. Kelly said you're both emotional and vulnerable.
Kelly chose Justin

Team Adam: Drew Cole vs. Miya Bass sang Knocking on Heaven's Door by Bob Dylan-- I love the juxtaposition between these two performers. Their differences are so complimentary. It's hard for me to choose. Blake liked how creative Miya was with the melody and he'd probably go for her. Alicia liked their interpretations and how it was totally in Drew's wheelhouse but she felt Miya owned it. Adam said that they are what he loves about music, and he said that they are so natural.
Adam chose Drew and Alicia stole Miya

Team Blake: Jordan Kirkendorffer vs. Wilkes sang Nobody to Blame by Chris Stapleton-- Wow, this was my fave battle of the night. I loved the dynamics in this performance, they were both turned up at different points during this song. Jordan is what country sounds like on the radio right now. Wilkes does such cool things with the melody of the song, he's a true performer. Kelly said if she had a steal, she'd steal whoever did not move on.
Blake chose Wilkes

Team Alicia: Britton Buchanan vs. Jaclyn Lovey sang Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran-- I was indifferent to these two. There were well matched, I think I'd go with Jaclyn if I had to make a choice. Adam said Britton, I wanted you on my team and Blake blocked me. Jaclyn, you're a revelation. Kelly said Jaclyn you're incredible, and I would be stealing you if you were up for grabs. Alicia said Britton you were far better than any rehearsal, and Jaclyn, you had such a sweetness to your voice. At 16, you own who you are. Kelly said Jaclyn looked like Julia Robert's daughter.... hmmm, she actually does.
Alicia chose Britton, Blake stole Jaclyn, he said she is a work horse and friggin awesome! I agree.

Wilkes, Miya, Kaleb, and Pryor are a few people I am going to be watching closely!

The Voice: Season 14, Kelly Clarkson joins as a Coach, and The Blinds Begin

Britton Buchanan sang Trouble by Ray LaMontagne-- Britton has a mature voice. Alicia turned first, and then Blake who blocked Adam turned. Britton talked about how much he loved when Adam did I love L.A. with Randy Newman and Adam is bummed that he was blocked. Adam thinks he should choose Alicia Keys. Blake admitted he blocked Adam because he wants Britton on his team so much.
Britton chose Alicia

Brynn Cartelli sang Beneath Your Beautiful by Labrinth-- Brynn is from Massachusetts and is only 14. She sounds young but she has a great voice. Kelly and Blake turned, and Kelly tells her she could win with her. Brynn admits she has been a fan of Kelly forever. Adam advocates for Kelly.
Brynn chose Kelly

Rayshun LaMarr sang Don't Stop Believing by Journey-- Wow, he had cancer, and maybe it was his life experiences but Rayshun made me believe in him. I loved this, and it was an unexpected song on him but it was the right song for him. Adam, Alicia, and Blake turned.
Rayshun chose Adam

Kyla Jade sang See Saw by Aretha Franklin-- Kelly and Blake turned. Kyla is a back up singer for J. Hud. Kyla is someone with a definite vocal style, she kind of reminds me of La'Porsha Renae in many ways. Kelly loves her sass and reminds Kyla that she has won a musical competition before. Blake doesn't say much but happens to get Kyla on his team. Kyla tells Kelly that they have Aretha in common but that Wynonna gave her her first big break so she needs to go with Blake.
Kyla chose Blake

Blaise Raccuglia sang Wanted by Hunter Hayes--  I saw where he was going with this and it was good but he didn't have enough vocal dynamics in his voice to warrant a turn.

Kelsea Johnson sang Like I'm Gonna Lose You by Meaghan Trainor-- Adam, Kelly, and Alicia turn. Adam said I am the most experienced coach. Alicia said you have talent, and I am a monster, a beast, I don't stop. Hmm, on this one, I liked her voice, but I'm not sold. I need to hear her again.
Kelsea chose Alicia

Drew Cole sang Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground-- Adam turned almost immediately, he sounds a lot like Adam with the falsetto. Blake turned near the end. Drew said he partially chose that song because of Adam's cover. Blake said that although you might choose Adam, think about choosing me. Adam seems to believe that Drew will be the winner of this whole thing. I am not sure about that, but he could get far with the right song choices.
Drew chose Adam

D.R. King sang Believer by Imagine Dragons-- D.R. was a teacher, but was not happy with that. I agree with Blake's comments; he has a powerful voice. Kelly said D.R. sang a soulful rendition of that song, and made it his own and that's why she loved it. Blake thought his voice was explosive.
D.R. chose Kelly

Caleb Lee sang Never Wanted Nothing More by Kenny Chesney-- I like Caleb, I think he was the first real performer on the stage tonight. I hadn't been moved til now. Blake said your voice is very Texas red dirt country style. He said his voice is very graveley and bluesy--- radio ready. Kelly broke out singing her hit with Jason Aldean, Don't You Wanna Stay. She was convincing!
Caleb said his kids all love Blake, so Caleb chose Blake

Makenzie Thomas sang Redbone by Childish Gambino-- Makenzie is really into singing R&B. Adam and Alicia were both close to turning.

Justin Kilgore sang Tomorrow by Chris Young-- Justin is a country singer, and what do you know, Alicia blocked Blake when he went to turn. This was a 4 chair turn! Blake said I know that's you, I got screwed. Alicia said you move my spirit, I definitely have a vision for you. Kelly said do you know Reba McEntire? My mommy in law is Reba. Adam said he will call anyone he wants him too. Do whatever you want to do because one thing is for sure, you're not choosing Blake, cause he's blocked. Blake blocked is a victory for me. With the exception of Blake Shelton who is disqualified, AMEN, who do you choose said Adam.
Justin chooses Kelly

Big Prediction: Caleb and D.R. are going far in this competition for me.
