The Voice: Season 9, I'm Loving the Battles!

Team Gwen: Korin Bukowski sang All I Want by Kodaline versus Summer Schappell sang Little White Church by Little Big Town-- Okay, wow, I was so into Summer's performance. I just found it catchy and full of energy. Adam said he would take Summer down to the little white church. Blake said Summer is an entertainer. Pharrell said Korin, it didn't require you to do a lot with your body, and Summer you were like a firecracker on stage.
My choice: Summer
Gwen's choice: Korin

Team Adam: Dustin Christensen sang Free by The Zac Brown Band versus Keith Semple sang I Wanna Know What Love Is by Foreigner-- I like Dustin, I think he is one of those artists that is underrated in this competition, and I felt like I didn't hear him til tonight. He turned out a solid performance and he related to the song. Keith was crazy! I loved his whole performance. Blake thought both guys were great. Pharrell said Dustin is a natural talent, and Keith you were really fighting. Gwen said Dustin's voice is beautiful and soothing, and Keith I love your personality, and your vibe and energy really comes through. Adam said Dustin you are an amazing singer, and Keith you called your spot, this was a ballsy move.
My choice: Wish it could be both, I lean more towards Keith
Adam's choice: Keith

Team Pharrell: Darius Scott sang On Broadway by George Benson versus Morgan Frazier sang Even If It Breaks Your Heart by The Eli Young Band-- The way that Darius's voice navigated this song was crazy. I think it goes to show you what great vocal control he has. Gosh, I think Blake should steal Morgan back, the coaches are all on their feet. Her vocals were ridiculous. Gwen said Darius was odd, amazing, and magic. Blake said everyone is stepping it up, Darius uses his vibrato to change notes, and Morgan you encompassed that song. Adam said he would probably choose Morgan. Pharrell said Darius you shared your ambition with the world, and Morgan you did exactly what I asked you to do.
My choice: Morgan
Pharrell's choice: Darius
Someone steal Morgan! Blake stole Morgan back!

The Last of the Battles on The Voice: Season 9

Team Adam: Amanda Ayala versus Shelby Brown singing Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks-- I think I preferred Amanda's voice to Shelby's, I just found the tone pleasant. Pharrell said Shelby had big unapologetic notes, and he thought Amanda had so much control with her voice. Adam thought Shelby sassed it up and believed in herself.
My choice: Amanda
Adam's choice: Shleby

Team Pharrell: Amy Vachal versus Jubal and Amanda singing To Love Somebody by The Bee Gees-- I would find it tough to make a decision. I think Amanda has such a big strong voice. Gwen thought Jubal and Amanda's voices are so strong, and Amy's voice is so gentle. She thinks Amy on her own is a star. Adam said Amy shined on her own and she was awesome. Blake said Jubal and Amanda were better today than their blind audition. Blake said Amy, I am still heartbroken you didn't choose me, and I don't know how we move forward in this competition without you.
My choice: Amy
Pharrell's choice: Amy

The ones we never got to see:

Team Pharrell: Daria Jazmin versus Darius Scott singing Lean on Me by Bill Withers-- Pharrell chose Darius

Team Blake: Cole Criske versus Nadjah Nicole singing Hit Me Baby One More Time by Britney Spears-- Blake chose Nadjah

Team Gwen: Hannah Ashbrook versus Summer Schappell singing Leave the Pieces by The Wreckers--Gwen chose Summer

Team Blake: Emily Ann Roberts versus Morgan Frazier singing I'm That Kind of Girl by Patty Loveless-- Adam told Blake he was crazy for putting them together. Blake said Emily Ann matured, and he loved the big note Morgan did at the end.
My choice: Morgan
Blake's choice: Emily Ann
YES! And Pharrell uses his last steal for Morgan!

Faves of the night: Amy Vachal and Morgan Frazier

The Last Night of the Blinds: Season 9 The Voice

Dustin Christensen sang Downtown Train by Rod Stewart-- Blake told Dustin that they are the same person. I liked Dustin's voice, there was somewhat of an old school, vintage quality to it. Dustin said that he had to go with his gut and he chose Blake.
Dustin chose Blake

Berdine Joseph sang Hey Mama by Nicki Minaj-- I liked the flavor she added to the song. Berdine has a definite style, I think she could benefit from one on one training from a coach, but I like her. No one turned, so sad.

Dustin Monk sang Bright Lights by Gary Clark Jr.-- It's a Blake and Adam battle. This is another guy I liked. Adam said he liked everything in his voice. Blake said I am a fan of yours. I agree with Gwen, I loved his vibratto and the fact that it is natural is amazing. He sounded good.
Dustin chose Adam

Chase Kerby sang The Scientist by Coldplay-- I cannot believe that Gwen is the only chair who turned for Chase. I thought he had a strong sound and tone. Blake says Chase is with the right person in Gwen. Gwen calls his voice special.

Dawson Daugherty sang Problem by Ariana Grande-- No one turned for Dawson. I liked him, but I didn't think this was the right song choice. Maybe someone should have given him a chance and asked him to sing something else?

Shelby Brown sang Stars by Grace Potter-- I cannot believe that this young woman is 16! She is so amazing, her voice is so mature and experienced. Adam is pitching this last spot on his team to Shelby. Gwen said she sounds like she has so much experience. Blake said he wants to download her version right now. He loved her pitch.
Shelby chose Adam

Amy Vachal sang Dream a Little Dream-- Adam's team is full so all three remaining judges turn. I like Amy, but not as much as the coaches seem to. I hope she proves me wrong. She definitely seems like she would be great with Pharrell or Gwen. I liked her tone, and the fact that this seems effortless to her. Adam says he would have turned if his team wasn't full. Blake thinks she is a superstar and Adam thinks she could win the whole thing.
Amy chose Pharrell

Blaine Mitchell sang Drops of Jupiter by Train-- I wasn't that impressed, but nonetheless, Blake and Gwen turned and....
Blaine chose Blake

Gwen picks up her last artist in Summer Schappell who sang Strawberry Wine by Deanna Carter-- this young woman has a great vibe and comes with some performance quality.

Pharrell picked up his last artist in Sydney Rhame who sang Photograph by Ed Sheeran-- This girl was actually really good. She can clearly sing, and it's too bad that everyone's teams are fill except Pharrell.

My Faves Tonight? Shelby Brown, Sydney Rhame, and Chase Kerby
