Team Kelsea:
Iris Herrera sang White Horse by Chris Stapleton-- In my opinion, she's a shoe in for the live shows because to have so much control and such maturity in your voice at her age is incredible. She's honed her skills and practiced her craft. John said her voice was shredding. Adam called her believable.
Jaelen Johnston sang If You're Reading This by Tim McGraw-- Jaelen is literally an artist who I could see in country music right now, he is relevant, and I think he fills somewhat of a void. He's been someone since the beginning that I wanted to see go through to lives. Michael advised Kelsea to put him through if she wants to win. Kelsea said he told a story while staying true to the heart of the lyrics.
Alanna Lynise sang Nobody Gets Me by Sza-- She has grown and come into her own, this is the best I have heard her. John says she is becoming a superstar, and Michael agrees with John and says she should go to the lives.
Tinika Wyatt sang I Can Only Imagine by MercyMe-- Tinika has improved so much since her first audition. I loved this song for her. I will say I wanted a little more dynamics and passion going into the song. I remember Todd Tilghman singing this five years ago and I wanted her to create that angst and drive. Adam said she was ten times better than when she started out. Michael was moved by her performance. John and Kelsey both called it beautiful.
Darius J. sang Hey Ya by Outkast-- I have appreciated Darius's desire to push creative boundaries on this show and to be himself. The authenticity of this performance was wonderful. I don't know how far he would get in lives. Kelsey says she continues to be attracted to his artistry.
Team Adam:
Lucia Flores Wiseman sang In My Life by The Beatles-- What a stunning performance from beginning to end. She deserves to be here and move forward. Kelsey said it was her favorite thing she has seen this season. Michael described her as inevitable and non-negotiable, which I completely agree.
Conor James sang Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan-- Conor is always entertaining but I don't think this song did him any favors. I will say, I can see Conor on Broadway, I think that's where he belongs (pun intended). Adam said he can sing anything.
Kolby Cordell sang Finesse by Bruno Mars-- It was great to have an upbeat performance. Kolby sounded great. I can see him potentially doing well in the live shows with proper song selection. John loved the confidence and swagger. Michael believes Kolby is a contender.
Ethan Eckenroad sang The Night We Met by Lord Huron-- Gorgeous song choice, Ethan was in great voice singing that. He has always been one of my favorites since the beginning. I feel like he just strongly knows who he is as an artist. Adam said he is proud to have Ethan represent his team.
Britton Moore sang Somewhere Only We Know by Keane-- I love Britton and would love to see him in the lives. However, at times, this song seems to be a kiss of death. He sounded great, but the song is a little sleepy. All the coaches loved his performance of the song, they commented on interpretation, fanbase, and John said he sounded like Niall Horan.
Kelsea chose Iris and Alanna
Adam chose Lucia and Kolby
It seems like they both probably needed a third pick-- I would have added Jaelen for Kelsea's team and Britton for Adam's team. Ultimately though, although I was upset, I agree with the choices that they made.
