Machine Gun Kelly (MJK, as he is now known) is the advisor for Team Gwen.
Team Gwen:
Jose Luis sang No More Drama by Mary J Blige-- Jose was jamming with this song. That was soulful and raw. The coaches were all on their feet. Snoop said you made a Mary J. Blige song your song, I would push to get you to the final two. Reba said your vocals were absolutely incredible, I know people who have been in this business a long time who are not as charismatic as you.
Jake Tankersley sang The Painter by Cody Johnson-- Snoop said I'm a proud uncle. I don't see how Gwen could send you home. Reba loved his range on the song. I agree that it was so heartfelt. Gwen said you brought out the emotion and took my notes. I agree with Reba, he is authentic and sounds so country, the whole package.
Gabrielle Zabosky sang Listen to Your Heart by Roxette-- Michael said you've grown exponentially. Snoop enjoyed her dynamics. Gwen said you've grown so much and I am so proud of you. I agree with Reba, there were times where she looked panicked but then she would find herself. She sounded beautiful though.
Jan Dan sang Dust in the Wind by Kansas-- I think so far Jan Dan and Jose are my faves of the night. I love his voice and his song choices have been so spot on. He is someone who knows who he is as an artist. Gorgeous performance. Reba said I love the way you vocalize. Michael said with all these genres, what else do you have up your sleeve. Snoop loved how he put his spin on it. Gwen said you're just so cool.
Sydney Sterlace sang Betty by Taylor Swift-- Sydney has unreal intuition and musicality as an artist. Michael said I'm blown away by your voice. Reba said I love your range. Snoop said you've always been a favorite of mine. I'm going to come watch you at your shows. Gwen said she can bring it under the pressure.
Gwen chose Jan Dan and Sydney Sterlace to move forward. Everyone on Gwen's team was good, I feel like she could not have gone wrong with any of them, but I like who she chose, and I think I agree with her decision. I am a little sad to see Jose Luis go.
Danny Joseph sang It Hurt so Bad by Susan Tedeschi-- This was amazing! I loved all the emotion and soul and blues he put into this performance.
Lauren Michael Sellers sang Hold On To Me by Lauren Daigle-- Lauren sounds amazing with every song she interprets.
Tate Renner sang In Color by Jamey Johnson-- Tate is a natural storyteller. There was also a little bit of gravel in his voice that I liked.
Michael and Snoop turned for all three and wanted them on their teams. Gwen said she would pick Lauren, but also liked Danny. Reba is proud of all three. She picked Lauren and saved Danny, Snoop wanted to steal Danny.
Team Gwen:
Mor left the competition.
Jan Dan sang Angels Like You by Miley Cyrus-- I had actually never heard this song, it was perfect for him.
Sydney Sterlace sang Bruises by Lewis Capaldi-- Sydney is just mature beyond her years, I love the way she expresses herself and emotes with every song she sings.
Snoop said they both picked the perfect songs for their voices. He said Sydney you could win the show. Reba said she has been a fan of Jan's voice for a long time. She said Sydney I don't believe you are 15 years old. Gwen liked how Jan Dan puts R&B spins on current songs. She said, Sydney you are so gifted and you've grown. Gwen chose Sydney. Jan said, Gwen, I have loved being on your team, Sydney's voice blows my mind. As he was about to walk out, he hugged Gwen and she pushed her button to save!
Somewhat montaged--
Team Snoop:
Georgia Starnes sang Parachute by Chris Stapleton--
Mary McAvoy sang High and Dry by Radiohead--
Aliyah Khaylyn sang Angel by Halle Bailey--
Snoop chose Aliyah, she was the right choice here! She is also someone I believe could win the competition.
Team Snoop:
ChrisDeo sang Beneath Your Beautiful by Labrinth-- ChrisDeo has such a sweet voice. She has grown since the beginning and has so much confidence.
Mikaela Ayira sang Scars to your Beautiful by Alessia Cara-- I love Mikaela's attitude, it really came through in her performance. You could tell she is connected to the message of the song. Also loved her dynamics in the song.
Torre Blake sang Slow Burn by Kacey Musgraves-- At times. Torre was giving me an Alicia Keys vibe. I loved this song for her and the soul that she breathed into it.
Reba called ChrisDeo so sweet and said she would choose her. Gwen loved Torre as a fan, Mikaela worked the stage, ChrisDeo is a pure real deal artist. Snoop I don't gotta choose. Michael said I love that my girls are gonna watch this show and see strong, powerful women. Snoop said I am so torn, I loved each and every one of you. I wish all three. of you could move forward. I am honored to have been your coach, you have affected me for the rest of my life. Snoop chose Mikaela. ChrisDeo was crying as she thanked Snoop for giving her confidence that she never had before. It was beautiful to see how moved Snoop was.
Team Buble:
Jeremy Belate sang Golden Hour by JVKE-- This was amazing! The high notes were unreal and the way he sang it, it felt like a love letter.
Kiara Vega sang Call Out My Name by The Weeknd-- She made me feel everything in this song. I loved how she grabbed this and felt it.
Sofronio Vasquez sang You Don't Have To Say You Love Me by Dusty Springfield-- Sofronio turned this into a soulful power ballad. This was amazing. The end.
Michael said, I made a big mistake, I never should have put these people together. Snoop said, Sofronio I always love you even though you didn't pick me. Kiara you put a chill down my back. Jeremy you gave the best performance to me. If Buble slip up, I'll steal you. Reba said Sofronio your stage presence is incredible and your voice. Gwen would choose Jeremy, she said she had chills. Michael said, Sofronio, Jennifer threw her shoes at you. Kiara, you remind me of Ariana, you are both small but you both pack a punch. Jeremy you killed it man, I am so proud of you. Michael chose Sofronio and Snoop stole Jeremy.
Felsmere sang Son of a Preacher Man by Dusty Springfield-- I loved Felsmere's performance, that song was soulful and perfect for her.
Gabrielle Zabosky sang Used to be Young by Miley Cyrus-- This performance was so heartfelt. I felt that Gabrielle personally connected to the song. She talked about her story and how she and her family went through some tough times.
Kaye Sibal sang One Last Time by Ariana Grande-- I actually loved this performance on her. What a great song choice and so convincing.
Michael said Kaye what an amazing song. He loved Gabrielle's vocal and would choose her. Snoop liked how Felsmere interpretted the song, and said Gabrielle gave him chills. He said Kay was heartwarming.
Team Reba:
Katie O sang Turn on the Radio by Reba-- and moved on! Frankie Torres and Kendall Eugene became cannon fodder which was sad because both of them were great singers.
Team Buble:
Edward Preble sang Send in the Clowns by Frank Sinatra-- What a talent! Oh my goodness, he's the real deal.
J Paul sang Kiss from a Rose by Seal-- J Paul did his own interpretation of the song and I felt like it was beautiful.
Shye sang The One That Got Away by Katy Perry-- She has a beautiful voice, like Tracy Chapman.
Snoop said Shye so much believability in your performance. J Paul, you made that song your own. Edward I felt like I closed my eyes and Frank Sinatra was on stage. Reba said Edward you've fascinated me since the beginning, you're a mature voice. Gwen felt J Paul won the knockout. Shye rich, tender, special voice, no one will sound like you. J Paul you have no boundaries, that song was your truth. Edward we stand on the shoulders of our heroes. You're a good soul. It's a pleasure to have beautiful talent here. Michael chose Shye! And Reba stole Edward!
Austyns Stancil sang Dance with my Father Again by Luther Vandross-- Heartfelt, real, and raw, Austyns felt every note and lyric. This was truly beautiful.
Christina Eagle sang My Church by Maren Morris-- She is just a spirited performer. I feel like she goes up on stage and leaves it all up there each time.
Jake Tankersley sang Going Going Gone by Luke Combs-- Jake has the ultimate cowboy voice. It is crazy how long he gets and is able to keep so much control in the vocal and the performance.
I loved them all and I do not think I could choose. Reba said Austyns was spirit filled. She liked how Christina had fun and filled the stage. She loved Jake's big, round voice. Michael talked about how great Snoop is at the voice. He said he wanted to be like Jake. He said Christina becomes a superhero on stage. Lastly, he said that He thought Austyns nailed it and would pick him. Snoop chose Austyns, saved Christina, and Gwen stole Jake.
Team Reba:
Adam Bohanan sang Colors by Black Pumas-- Such an underestimated and undervalued artist in this competition. He just literally has tons of soul.
Cassidy Lee sang Love Me Like a Man by Bonnie Raitt-- Love Cassidy's voice as well. She is so bluesy and this song was perfect for her.
Jaukeem Fortson sang God Only Knows by Dolly Parton-- Wow! Oh my gosh, this was so good. I really felt like I was at church. So young and so talented.
Snoop said first time I went to a bar, a club, and church right after. Gwen said wow thank you guys, I don't think I could choose. Snoop would go with Jaukeem, Michael would go with Adam. These three are all amazing in all honesty. They are all winners. Reba chose Adam. Michael stole Jaukeem.
Team Gwen:
Camryn Brooks sang Glitter in the Air by Pink-- This was heartfelt and it felt like a tribute to her mom who has always believed in her.
Deon Jones sang Nutbush City Limits by Tina Turner-- He was a total showman. Vocals weren't perfect, but the performance made up for it, raw emotion, he felt the song.
Jose Luis sang We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love) by Ariana Grande-- Amazing vocals, I'm not even going to lie. I feel like Ari would be proud of this performance. He can sing any notes, anything, and I did feel like he connected with the song this time.
Michael said Deon I could not stop watching you, Jose I would have to choose you, that voice cements you. Snoop said Jose, when you have the mic in your hand you turn into another person. The light is on you and you step right into it. Reba said, Deon you're the ultimate show dog. Gwen said Camryn you've come far. Deon to be able to sing, dance, and control the room is rare. Jose Luis, you're unbelievable, I'm blown away by you, you have an absolute gift. Gwen chose Jose Luis!
Team Buble:
Cameron Wright sang You're All I Need To Get By by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell-- I loved that, what an effortless performance.
Sloane Simon sang Can't Catch Me Now by Olivia Rodrigo-- What a stunning vocalist, she is a star.
Snoop said Cameron you chose a duet and sang it by yourself. Sloane you sounded like you were in a movie. Reba said Sloane your vocal was beautiful. Cameron you had great range. Gwen said Cameron your runs were so tasteful. Sloane, I am team Sloane. Michael said the show is The Voice and he couldn't bear to part with either one of them. He chose Cameron and saved Sloane.
Team Buble: J Paul vs. Kamila Kiehne singing Toxic by Britney Spears-- Did not love this, the arrangement was a mess, and the song choice did not suit either one of them. Looking back on the blinds, I was more impressed with J Paul so I would choose him going forward. Reba would choose Kamila while Gwen said J Paul is ready now. Snoop didn't choose, but ultimately Michael chose J Paul.
Team Gwen: Camryn Brooks vs. Rowdy Shea singing I Remember Everything by Kacey Musgraves and Zach Bryan-- Didn't love this either! Neither gave a particularly memorable performance. Looking to the blinds once again -- Camryn gave the better performance and Gwen chose her.
Team Reba: Tanner Frick vs. Tate Renner singing Need a Favor by Jelly Roll-- Great song choice, I liked both of these guys. I found myself preferring Tate but ultimately both of them deserve to move forward. Reba chose Tate and Michael stole Tanner.
On a side note, the battles this night have been a disaster overall with the exception of Tanner and Tate. No clue what's going on and the song choices are bizarre.
Team Snoop: Michael Alexandersson vs. Mary McAvoy singing I Only Have Eyes for You by The Flamingos-- This was another mediocre performance for me. Each had bright spots but inconsistent. Beautiful song choice that just needed more practice. Snoop picks Mary and Michael is headed home.
Team Reba: Katie O vs 323 singing Lonesome Loser by Little River Band-- I was not crazy about the song choice. Katie O was clearly a four chair turn for a reason, I felt she came out the stronger artist here. Reba chose Katie O.
Team Buble: Cassidy Lee vs. Cameron Wright singing Hero by Mariah Carey-- This was a great performance for both of them. I found it to be a little bit of an interesting song choice but both of them came out winners. Snoop appreciated both artists and couldn't choose. Reba would choose Cassidy. Gwen said she would choose Cameron. Michael said Cassidy crushed it, but ultimately had to pick Cameron. Reba stole Cassidy.
Picking up from the previous show, Austyns chose Team Snoop after all the coaches tried to steal him.
Team Snoop: Dreion vs. Georgia Starnes singing Perfect Combination by Stacy Lattisaw and Johnny Gill-- They are both amazing! I love the way Dreion puts his own signature and interpretation on everything. He has so much soul. Georgia just kept making me listen to her and pay attention to her. Her runs were stellar. Reba said they were so well matched; I agree, these were two four chair turns. Gwen said Dreion you have literally one of the best voices I have ever heard in my life. If I am going based on The Voice, I would pick Dreion. If I am going on the entire package I would pick Georgia, I don't know where you're going, but you're going somewhere. Michael called Georgia a soulful, beautiful, singer. He said soul has nothing to do with the color of your skin. He said Dreion, I just want to be like you, you have an incredible voice, smooth as silk. Snoop said there is no loser and either one of them could win The Voice.
“I just want to make sure that everybody understands that this opportunity, this exposure, this millions of people that’s watching you, whatever happens after this is not based on today, but what you do based off of today.”
Snoop chose Georgia! I am so shocked that no one stole Dreion!! He is so talented.
Monataged:
Team Gwen: Kay Sibal vs. Beya singing Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter-- Gwen chose Kay, Beya is eliminated.
Team Reba: Juakeem Fortson vs. Tsola singing Higher Love by Steve Winwood-- Reba chose Juakeen, Tsola is eliminated.
Team Buble: Sofronio Vasquez vs. Aliyah Khaylyn singing The Power of Love by Celine Dion-- This was amazing, such a difficult song to sing and these two did it pretty seamlessly. Snoop was moved by the performance. He said that they look like they belong together and he is glad he doesn't have to pick. Reba called it the performance of the night and said it gave her chills. Gwen mentioned how hard this song is to sing. Michael said these are the two strongest singers on his team. Michael chose Sofronio and Snoop stole Aliyah at the last minute.
Team Reba: Deon Jones vs. Danny Joseph singing It's a Man's Man's World by James Brown-- That was amazing! I love Danny's passion. Deon has this gravel in his voice that is so amazing. Gwen thought this performance looked really well. She said both of them are so gifted. I would not be able to choose, I'd need both of them. Snoop said that song is deep and you both sang it with the same conviction. Reba chose Danny. Gwen stole Deon! Well done! He was so good.
Team Snoop: Brad Sample vs. Jake Tankersley singing Stuck on You by Lionel Ritchie-- Hmm interesting, I did not love this song choice for them. I'll let you be the judge, weigh in in the comments. I actually prefer Brad's voice. Reba said it was the perfect combo because of the differences in your voice. She liked both of them. Michael loved the song choice. He would lean towards Jake. Gwen thought it was a good battle and reminded Jake that she blocked Reba. Snoop picked Jake.
Team Gwen: Cozy Len vs. Felsmere singing Summer Breeze by Seals & Crofts-- Wow! I LOVE how they completely transformed this song and gave it this soulful sound. Both of them sound amazing. Gwen is bringing it this season as a coach. Reba thought it was the perfect duet. Snoop appreciated how Cozy left Felsmere take the lead. He would lean towards Felsmere cause Gwen can coach to who she is. Gwen said she needed to go with who she could take further at this moment. Gwen chose Felsmere.
Team Buble: Shye vs. Jamison Puckett singing Love Yourself by Justin Bieber-- Great song choice for them. I feel like Michael is such a lover of music and artistry. He is great at coaching. They are both so good and they're authentic, each of them is so special and different from what's out there. They are not just singers but artists. Gwen said it was so smooth, I just wanted to hear more. You both are equally gifted. Snoop and Reba could not decide. Michael said I want to thank you both. Michael chose Shye.
Team Reba: Creigh Riepe vs. Lauren Michael Sellers singing You Will Be Found by Sam Smith and Summer Walker-- I absolutely LOVED everything about this. They both deserve to continue. I did not know Creigh had all that. Lauren I knew was amazing. This was like a full take me to church moment. Gwen said she might go with Creigh. Snoop said I felt like I was at a show. I would go with Lauren because of her control. Reba said Lauren is ferocious and Creigh is so alive. Reba chose Lauren.
Team Gwen: Jose Luis vs. Austyns Stancil singing Lay Me Down by Sam Smith-- I thought that they were both great. The arrangement was a little awkward. I think I would go with Austyns if it was me. Jose reminds me of Asher Havon who won last season. Snoop said it felt like you all were together and you allowed each other to have that moment. Michael said you lit this place up. Reba said you will not lose picking either one of them. Gwen chose Jose. Someone is going to steal Austyns, I know it! Reba, Snoop, and Michael all went in to steal Austyns. Snoop said I wanted you the first time and didn't get you, I wanted you the second time, and I'm gonna get you. Michael said you just filled this place up with love. I can help you get to where you want to be.
I am looking forward to see who Austyns is going to choose. So far only one person from my Voice fantasy team has been eliminated and that was Brad.
