The Voice Season 29: The Knockouts Continue Time After Time

Team Adam: Jared Shoemaker singing Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde by Travis Tritt vs. Jaali Boyd singing Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie-- Both performances were incredibly soulful. I love both of these people. I am so sad that one has to go home. I'd give the edge to Jared. Kelly would choose Jared and John would choose Jaali. Adam said Jaali killed it and maximized the potential; Jared, I get a real sense of who you want to be as an artist. 
Adam chose Jared








Team Legend: Grace Humphries singing I Don't Wanna Wait by Paula Cole vs. KJ Willis singing I'll Make Love to You by Boyz II Men-- There was potential for Grace's performance to be great, but I believe KJ bested her. His performance was genuine and he seemed to really connect to the song. John said KJ's performance was believable. He said it was like a devotional at church but with a song about earthly pleasures.  
John chose KJ





Team Kelly: Jonah Mayor singing You'll Be in My Heart by Phil Collins vs. Mikenley Brown singing Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan-- For me, I felt like Mikenley was too outside the box for me. I would need to go with Jonah if it were me. John said you're both so talented; he thought Mikenley won the knockout. Kelly said Jonah your passion on stage is so committed, you're so special; Mikenley no one is like you. 
Kelly chose Mikenley





All Star Teams: 

Team Legend: Maelyn (Season 16) and Renzo (Season 27)

Team Kelly: Jake Hoot (Season 17) and Girl Named Tom (Season 21)

Team Adam: Jordan Smith (Season 9) and Javier Colon (Season 1) 

Kelly vs. John-- Girl Named Tom singing Dust in the Wind by Kansas vs. Renzo singing Dream On by Aerosmith-- 
Adam said Girl Named Tom, that was mind blowing; Renzo, John blocked me and it broke my heart. Kelly said Renzo, you're incredible, and Girl Named Tom there is nothing like you in my life. John said Girl Named Tom, I measure every group against you, and Renzo I am proud that you are representing Team Legend. Cee Lo said that Girl Named Tom is his resolve and Renzo is his reflection. Renzo represents him whereas Girl Named Tom represents this time in music that is almost extinct, three party harmony, representative of the 60s and Crosby, Stills, and Nash. 
My pick:  Girl Named Tom
Cee Lo chose Girl Named Tom





John vs. Adam-- Maelyn singing Fields of Gold by Sting vs. Jordan Smith singing Chandelier by Sia-- Kelly said you two are masters of being vocalists. John said this show exists for people like you. Adam said Maelyn said you put so much effort into your performances. Adam said when you sing the hairs on my arm stand up. Cee Lo said it's such an honor to be here with both of you. You're both one of one. Thank you both for being spirit animals of us all.  
My pick: Jordan Smith
Cee Lo chose Maelyn





Adam vs. Kelly-- Javier Colon singing Time After Time vs. Jake Hoot singing Desperado-- John said Jake of all the male country artists, you are the best one. Javier, I can see why this song and your gift made Adam believe this show would work; that was beautiful. Adam said, I don't have to know country to know you're the real deal Jake; like a fine wine you have aged well Javier, love you bro so much. Kelly said Javier, you voice is beautifully broken; Jake, you're not just a good singer, you're a good man. Cee Lo, I enjoyed myself. Javier said that was iconic; Jake you killed it. 
My pick: Toss up, but I lean with Javier Colon
Cee Lo chose Jake
