Team Blake: Chris Kroeze sang Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd-- I loved this performance! This is the song that I have been wanting him to do all season and he did not disappoint. The coaches were all on their feet and I think each of them brought up his rad guitar playing skills.
Team Kelly: Chevel Shepherd sang It's A Little Too Late by Tanya Tucker-- Adam said he has always thought that she has a special and classic voice.
Team Blake: Kirk Jay sang Defenseless-- J Hud said you belong in this industry. I want to buy every album. Blake said Kirk I love you dude. The most important thing I heard from Jennifer is that you made her a country fan. Kirk is the real deal. I totally agree, he has a special voice.
Team Jennifer: Kennedy Holmes sang Love is Free-- The song was really cool, it seemed a little old for someone so young, but she sounded great. Kelly said she loved the 90s vibe. J Hud liked that she came into her own as an artist.
Blake and Kirk sang You Look So Good in Love by George Strait
Jennifer and Kennedy sang Home from The Wiz
Team Blake: Chris sang Human-- Many called it the performance of the night and the perfect song for him. Chris has been the most streamed artist numerous times this season on the voice and performances like that prove why.
Kelly and Chevel sang Rockin with the Rhythm of the Rain by the Judds
Blake and Chris sang Two More Bottles of Wine by Emmylou Harris
Team Blake: Kirk sang I Won't Let Go by Rascal Flatts-- Adam said your voice stands out and that is one of the most valuable things as a singer. Blake said I believe in my heart that you are going to change country music. I personally am obsessed with that song, and love it. It is tough to sing and he navigated it perfectly.
Team Kelly: Chevel sang Broken Hearts-- Adam said he cannot believe how young Chevel is. Kelly was crying because she was so touched by Chevel's performance.
Team Jennifer: Kennedy sang Confident by Demi Lovato-- Jennifer said Kennedy just turned 14, you were a true professional . I thought Beyonce was up there. This was a performance that I like to call an exclamation point performance.
Performances of the night-- Home the duet between Kennedy and J. Hud, Chris Kroeze singing Human, Kirk singing I Won't Let Go by his Idols Rascal Flatts, and Chevel Shepherd singing some Tanya Tucker.
I think Chris is a safe bet to win, but I could honestly see any of the country artists taking this. I think Kennedy finishes in 4th place.

The Voice Season 15: The Top 8 Are a Vision
Team Kelly: Sarah Grace sang Sign of the Times by Harry Styles-- Not my favorite song but well thought out. It was a solid vocal, I don't think it was her best performance, so whether or not she will make it to the finals is based on how things go for the remainder of the night. Kelly emphasized how young Sarah is.
Duet with Reagan and Kennedy
Team Jennifer: MaKenzie Thomas sang Vision of Love by Mariah Carey-- Kelly said I cannot stand it, you are so good. She said this show is called The Voice and that performance is what this is all about. Blake said that is one of the best performances I have ever seen. J Hud said you are a coach's dream. MaKenzie has been by far the most consistent contestant this season. If there is such thing as a shoe in for the Finale, it must be her. The vocals are in a different class than everyone else.
Duet with Chevel and Kirk
Team Kelly: Kymberli Joye sang Never Alone by Tori Kelly-- Jennifer said I felt like I was at a gospel musical concert. Kelly said I love you, and I think you are so talented. I was inspired by Kymberli's performance. Her vocals were so genuine.
Team Blake: Chris Kroeze sang Can't You See by The Marshall Tucker Band-- Kelly said Chris is a storyteller and so nostalgic. You represent an important part of music which is nostalgia. Blake said thank you for giving the beer drinking, back road driving viewers someone to route for. I notice that they are not going to Adam at all tonight. Chris has been a favorite of mine since the beginning and I do hope that he makes it to the finale because I agree with Kelly in terms of what he represents.
Duet with MaKenzie and Kymberli
Team Jennifer: Kennedy Holmes sang This Is Me from The Greatest Showman-- This song was so appropriate for her. She was shining throughout the performance. Jennifer talked about just how proud she is of Kennedy.
Team Adam: Reagan Strange sang You Are the Reason by Calum Scott-- Blake said I always love your performances. Yours tonight was a breath of fresh air. Adam said she commanded the stage and he said I believe in you. It's been an honor being your coach. It was a nice performance, with that being said, I have questions about why she couldn't sing last week.
Duet with Sarah and Chris
Team Kelly: Chevel Shepherd sang Blue by LeAnn Rimes-- Chevel is another contestant on the show who has a certain nostalgia about her. She did LeAnn's song so perfectly, it's a deceptively hard song to sing and she did it justice. Kelly said you are pure country and you're the kind of country that I love. You are so talented.
Team Blake: Kirk Jay sang I Swear by John Michael Montgomery--J Hud said I am your biggest fan. One of the things I will miss most when this is over is hearing you sing. Adam praised his "identifiability" in terms of the uniqueness of his voice. Blake reiterated how proud he is of Kirk. It's really cool watching Kirk sing every week because you know when he gets up on stage that he is doing something that is different.
My Final Four (in no particular order)--- Kirk, Chris, MaKenzie, and Kymberli

The Voice Season 15: The Top 10 Are What I Like
Team Jennifer: Kennedy Holmes sang Me Too by Meghan Trainor-- All the coaches were on their feet. She was incredible, her vocals were on point; she's the total package. Kelly said the moonwalk was crazy, singing this was a great move for you tonight. Adam said if that's 13, I sucked at being 13. J Hud said you never disappoint.
Team Adam: Reagan Strange sang Cry by Faith Hill-- Reagan is special, that song covers a lot of ground vocally and she sang it so effortlessly. Blake said I wanna cry since you didn't pick me as your coach, I'm still upset about that. That's a hard song to sing. Kelly said what I love about you most is how you express emotion. Adam said she raised the song a half step higher than the original. When you get up there and sing, you command the attention of everyone in the room, I am nothing but proud of you.
Team Kelly: Sarah Grace sang Amazing Grace-- At first I wasn't feeling this version, but I thought she did a great job of keeping with the meaning of the song, but totally flipping it. It was so smoldering and bluesy. Jennifer said this showed your confidence to be able to take something like that and make it your own. Kelly said it is her favorite version of Amazing Grace.
Team Kelly: Kymberli Joye sang Oceans by Hillsong United-- That song was so beautiful. She moved me with that performance. Blake said I feel like that is your most powerful performance so far. You were finally able to reign in everything and give us a controlled, tasteful performance. Jennifer said there is nothing you can't sing. Kelly said your capability to touch other people is insane.
Team Blake: Chris Kroeze sang Callin' Baton Rouge by The Oak Ridge Boys-- I love Chris's authenticity. He performs with such love for what he does. Blake said he is proud of him as a coach and as a fellow country singer and musician.
Team Blake: Dave Fenley sang When You Say Nothing at All by Alison Krauss-- I liked the statement that Blake made when he said Dave has paid his dues. That's very clear. I didn't love this song for him, but Blake said it was different than anything he has done before.
Team Adam: DeAndre Nico sang That's What I Like by Bruno Mars-- To me, this is much more in DeAndre's wheelhouse than anything he has sang in the past. This suited his voice and style so much. J Hud said you sang that song down, you showed a more performance side of yourself. Kelly said I loved how you ended the song, you left them wanting more. Adam said it's so special to be here and experience that, you stepped it up.
Team Kelly: Chevel Shepherd sang You're Looking at Country by Loretta Lynn-- This song was old school but Chevel managed to pull it off. Blake said, Chevel you found a way to make the song even more country than it was originally. J Hud said you're adorable and I love every single thing you say and do. Adam said you're so cute and so talented, I can't stand it. Kelly said I am so blessed that you picked me, I can't wait to hear your record.
Team Blake: Kirk Jay sang Tomorrow by Chris Young-- Great song choice for him! I completely agree with all the coaches comments. This was so unique. J Hud and Blake were on their feet. J Hud said I am your co-coach, this boy needs to make a country album. Adam said I am a big fan of yours as well. It feels like when you perform, something new is happening for country music, I am transfixed by what you do.
Team Jennifer: MaKenzie Thomas sang Because You Loved Me by Celine Dion-- This MaKenzie can sing! Wow, she did Celine proud! I loved this. Jennifer compared her to all the powerful female singers out there.
Tough call on who is going home tomorrow night!
Team Adam: Reagan Strange sang Cry by Faith Hill-- Reagan is special, that song covers a lot of ground vocally and she sang it so effortlessly. Blake said I wanna cry since you didn't pick me as your coach, I'm still upset about that. That's a hard song to sing. Kelly said what I love about you most is how you express emotion.

The Voice Season 15: The Top 11 Bring the Emotion!
Team Blake: Dave Fenley sang Use Me by Bill Withers-- Blake said Dave just threw himself into that performance. I like Dave so much and his charisma sold the song for me. I just didn't think it was the right song choice for him.
Team Kelly: Chevel Shepherd sang Space Cowboy by Kacey Musgraves-- I loved this song choice for her. Kelly complimented her vocal tone and her storytelling quality.
Team Adam: Reagan Strange sang Complicated by Avril Lavigne-- Blake said I am such a fan of yours. There is something special about you, a ton of charisma and you sing perfectly. Adam continues to be impressed by her and believes she could win the competition. Reagan is one of my personal favorites. She is so young and her potential is limitless.
Team Kelly: Kymberli Joye sang Break Every Chain by Tasha Cobbs-- Another odd song choice, I didn't love the repetition of the chorus and towards the end it sounded like shouting. Jennifer said it sounded like being at the Voice baptist church.
Team Blake: Kirk Jay sang Body Like a Back Road by Sam Hunt-- I like that this was the song choice because Sam Hunt is contemporary country which is what I could see Kirk doing. Blake said what the hell are you doing up there? You are George Strait fixed with Rascal Flatts. You're one of a kind.
Team Blake: Chris Kroeze sang Long Train Runnin' by The Doobie Brothers-- My hands down fave performance of the night! Chris is truly bringing back this 70's rock style sound. His guitar solo was really strong. Blake called his performance incredible.
Team Kelly: Lynnae Moorer sang Consequences by Camila Cabello-- I think it was so smart to have her doing a current song. Jennifer said you surprise me every time, you look like a star. You continue to raise the bar and you should be proud of yourself. Kelly said you are making each moment count.
Team Jennifer: MaKenzie Thomas sang Emotion by The Bee Gees--Stunning vocal! It was different than the Bee Gees and different than Destiny's Child. I loved this! She needs to make the finals. Jennifer and Kelly were on their feet. Jennifer said you are so skilled.
Team Kelly: Sarah Grace sang The Dog Days Are Over by Florence and the Machine-- Blake said I have been a fan of yours from the beginning. That is my favorite performance of yours so far. I did not realize she was 16. I actually heard her for the first time tonight. Blake was right, this was by far her best performance. Kelly praised her for being a smart singer.
Team Adam: DeAndre Nico sang Cry for You by Jodeci-- Wow! I mean that performance was so him, he is bringing back the classic 90's R&B. Jennifer said you took me back DeAndre. Adam said it was the song everyone wanted him to do but they didn't know that they wanted him to do that. That song does take you back and it was an amazing time in music. DeAndre commands the stage.
Team Jennifer: Kennedy Holmes sang The Greatest Love of All by Whitney Houston-- Blake, Kelly, and Jenn were on their feet. Jennifer said we will vote for you, you were wonderful, we will see your name in lights. She was incredible. She truly channeled Whitney in that performance.
Chevel, Kymberli, and Dave are my bottom three prediction.

The Voice Season 15: You Say it's The Top 13
Team Blake: Chris Kroeze sang Let it Be by The Beatles-- What a great tribute. Chris is dedicating this to a young girl from his hometown who was abducted. Chris is one of my favorites, the tone of his voice is so unique. Hopefully being up first is not going to hurt him.
Team Adam: Tyke James sang Everything I Do I Do it For You by Bryan Adams-- He is creative and original, but I was not crazy about his version of the song. Kelly said this is my favorite thing you have done. You stand apart, you're so creative.
Team Adam: DeAndre Nico sang I Can Only Imagine by MercyMe--- DeAndre is probably the most talented vocalist this season. He needs to be a finalist for sure, and anything less would be unfair. Jennifer said that must be a mighty girlfriend for you to dedicate that to her. I love the spirit you brought to the song. Adam calls his voice identifiable! So true Adam!
Team Kelly: Kymberli Joye sang Diamonds by Rihanna-- Her voice was sharp and affected at points. Her tone overall was warm. I liked this, but didn't love it. Kelly said you sing it different every time.
Team Jennifer: Kennedy Holmes sang Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler-- I think this song is way too old for her. I find her extremely talented for her age, and I hope despite this mistake in singing this, she gets through.
Team Jennifer: SandyRedd sang It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday by Boyz II Men-- I liked the moments when she came away from her low voice. Her voice was emotional and it really soared. This was a great song choice for her. Beautiful! Blake said I love seeing an emotional side. He said the low register of your voice is amazing.
Team Kelly: Chevel Shepherd sang Little White Church by Little Big Town-- Probably the most energetic performance of the night. Chevel was fierce, did not show her young age at all! She was so experienced and so poised on the stage. I hope this young lady gets through. Kelly talked about how awesome she is at 16.
Team Jennifer: MaKenzie Thomas sang I am Changing by Dreamgirls-- Perfect song for her, first night that I really took notice of her and heard her. What a stunning performance! I was surprised that more of a big deal was not made about her performance!
Team Kelly: Sarah Grace sang Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John-- I wanted to hear a more contemporary song from her. I am not sure how many people are going to vote for her or remember this performance. She might be in danger tonight.
Team Blake: Dave Finley sang Hard to Love by Lee Brice-- Not my fave song but Dave is so genuine and authentic. I loved this. Adam said Dave is one of his favorites in the competition. Blake said that what Dave is doing right now is so important.
Team Kelly: Lynnea Moorer sang Wolves by Selena Gomez-- Lynnea is so inspiring, I loved her! Wolves is not a fave song of mine, but I loved the way she sang it. She made it her own and her voice is beautiful.
Team Blake: Kirk Jay sang I'm Already There by Lonestar-- Whether or not Kirk wins this competition, he is going to be a HUGE star! Jennifer said I don't care whose team you are on, you are bad, bad, bad.
Team Adam: Reagan Strange sang You Say by Lauren Daigle-- Adam said Reagan you epitomize what this show stands for. You are a truly amazing artist! Wow, I completely agree, Reagan is well beyond her years. I think she is going to be in the finals too.
Sarah, Kymberli, and Tyke are my bottom three.
Team Adam: Tyke James sang Everything I Do I Do it For You by Bryan Adams-- He is creative and original, but I was not crazy about his version of the song. Kelly said this is my favorite thing you have done. You stand apart, you're so creative.

The Voice: Season 15 My Predictions on Who Will Make it to the Top 12
Team Blake:
Kirk Jay and Funsho were the strongest performances by far! I think Natasia Greycloud and Chris Kroeze will duke it out for the final spot.
Michael Lee and Dave Finely are going home.
Team Kelly:
Zaxai, Chevel, and Kymberli are moving on.
The three other member's of Team Kelly had weak performances in comparison.
Abby and Sarah had pitch issues and Keith chose the wrong song-- it's like he wasn't himself.
Team Adam:
DeAndre is as close to a sure thing in this competition that we can get. Reagan and Kameron are moving on.
Steven, Radha, and Tyke are going home.
Team Jennifer:
SandyRedd and Franc are moving on, Colton and Kennedy are fighting it out for the final spot.
I am going to say Patrique and MaKenzie are going home.

The Voice Season 15: Can You Stand the Rain? The Battles Come to a Close
Team Kelly: Sarah Grace vs. Erika Zade singing No Roots by Alice Merton-- I did not like the song choice at all. Blake said Erika you have a softer voice whereas Sarah has that attack. Kelly said they both have such different approaches.
Kelly chose Sarah Grace
Team Blake: Kayley Hill vs. Kameron Marlowe singing I Only Wanna Be With You by Hootie and the Blowfish-- J. Hud finds Kameron so sincere when he sings. Kelly would have chosen Kayley. Adam said Kayley you're mega talented but Kameron you were free-er. I'd go with Kameron. I actually agree with J. Hud and Adam--- Kayley came across as a little bit superficial to me. Kameron was genuine and he sings with meaning which is somewhat absent from music today.
Team Kelly: Claire DeJean vs. Josh Davis singing All This Love by JP Cooper-- Kelly chose Claire
Team Blake: Caeland Garner vs. Kirk Jay singing Let it Rain by David Niall-- Blake chose Kirk
Team Jennifer: Kennedy Holmes vs. Lela singing Battlefield by Jordin Sparks-- Jennifer chose Kennedy
Team Adam: Deandre Nico vs. Funsho singing Can You Stand the Rain by New Edition-- Cee Lo said that the song should not lose the integrity of the original. OMG! These two took me way back. Best battle EVER! Enough said. I love how they were so passionate and so supportive of each other. Adam said it looks like you became friends, and that makes the best music. You stepped up and we made one of the best battles of the season.
Adam chose Deandre, OMG someone steal Funsho!Yes, Blake saved Funsho!!! :)
Going into the Knockouts my front-runners from tonight are obviously DeAndre and Funsho but I am interested to see how Kameron holds up in this and not really getting to see Kennedy and Kirk who I considered front-runners going into the battles will be interesting.
Kelly chose Sarah Grace

The Voice Season 15: God Bless the Blinds!
One Up sang Could It Be I'm Falling In Love The Spinners-- Adam and Jerome are good together. Adam is definitely the better singer, he's more consistent. Jerome does the highs and lows but he has some pitch issues. Kelly, Jenn, and Blake turn--- all last minute. Kelly is emotional and says love is limitless. Jenn joins them on stage to hug. Blake talks about coaching the Swan Brothers, and Adam endorses Blake.
One Up chose Kelly
Natalie Brady sang Barracuda by Heart--Her voice is killer, she has a genuine rock voice. Adam turned immediately and J. Hud turned towards the end. Adam said you are a phenomenal rock and roll singer, shame on you two for not turning, she is a 4 chair performance. If the Wilson sisters didn't like each other anymore and they needed a singer for Heart they'd call you. J. Hud said your voice is like an oncoming train. Natalie said she has sung on Broadway and she's from Nashville, and has two kids. Blake said shame on Kelly for not turning.
Natalie chose Adam
Hannah Blaylock sang Baby Now That I've Found You by The Foundations -- Wow, she must be nervous because she is super pitchy. No one turned! She was good and she does have tons of potential. Hopefully she will get chosen for the comeback stage.
Mike Parker sang So Sick by Neyo-- I love how Mike persevered, he did not give up in his performance and as a result Jennifer turned at the last minute. She was the only one to turn. Kelly said you have a really great solid voice. Adam said that was one of my favorite moments of today. I have never seen anyone get so excited.
Jennifer chose Mike
Joey Green sang Baba O'Reily by The Who-- Loved his voice and loved his performance. He reminded me of a Billy Joe Armstrong from Green Day. Adam said there was a fearlessness in your voice. Joey said he is a country Americana artist. Blake and Jennifer turned. Blake said I would be honored to be your coach. Jenn said as long as you're passionate about what you're doing that's what matters. I would love to be your coach honey.
Joey chose Blake
Zaxai sang Come and Get Your Love by Redbone-- He has a clear voice, you can hear every word. The other thing I enjoyed about him is that his style is so throwback, he sounds like an old school R&B singer. So good! Kelly said your voice and your runs were so clear and beautiful. Jennifer said you seem like such a performer. He said you guys are my idols and my inspirations. Jennifer and Kelly turned and Jennifer blocked Kelly.
Jennifer chose Zakai
Erika Zade sang New Rules by Dua Lipa-- Not crazy about that performance at all, but I guess Kelly liked it. I just didn't like her rendition of the song, I felt like it was kind of all over the place. Jennifer said she appreciated her attitude but she was waiting for something else.
Kelly chose Erika
Jarred Matthew sang Tired of Being Alone by Al Green-- Jarred works for NASA and he enjoys singing because it makes him happy. His voice is limited, not a lot of range. Blake and Adam turned. I was okay with this, but wasn't feeling it 100%. Adam tells him his falsetto needs work, and he can help him with that.
Jarred chose Adam
Sam Robbins sang Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce-- He did have a beautiful voice! No one turned for him! I think it was too mellow, it didn't go anywhere. However, Sam did make it on Kelsea's comeback stage.
Edited Performances---
Colton Smith sang Alive by Sia-- Jennifer chose Colton
Kaley Hill sang Gold Dust Woman by Fleetwood Mac-- Blake chose Kaley
Finally.....
Kirk Jay sang God Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts-- His voice is so strong and so clear. I was feeling his dynamics! I liked that when he sang, it very much came across that he was going somewhere with it, telling a story. Blake and Adam turned and then Kelly and Jennifer turned at the end. Adam said it sounded like Cee Lo Green singing a country song. Blake said I never thought of that and he went up and hugged Kirk. Adam said if you don't come to my team, I hope you go to Blake's team. Kirk said he is country til the day he dies. Kelly said he also had a Boyz II Men and Brian McKnight vibe. Adam said for the first time, I wanna see you on Blake's team. Blake said I just kissed Adam Levine. Jennifer said go with your heart honey.
Kirk said he definitely picks Blake
Mike Parker strikes me as a hard worker, he could be a dark horse in this competition.
And I loved Zaxai, Joey Green, and Kirk Jay-- they could all go far in this!
