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: 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! ;-)
