The Voice Season 14: I'm Starving for More Battle Rounds

Team Kelly: Amber Sauer vs. Jorge Eduardo sang Starving by Hailee Steinfeld-- I thought this was such a fun battle. I liked both of them, they're multi-talented. I think they'd adapt well which makes for a strong competitor. For me, Amber overshadowed Jorge, to me she was the presence.  Adam said Amber you're a fantastic singer, Jorge, you're so diverse in what you do. I'd go with you Jorge. Blake said Amber you have so much stage presence, you had the most fun, I'd be going with you Amber. Kelly liked how Jorge brought the guitar in, and she loved how Amber sang in Spanish.
Kelly chose Jorge

Team Adam: Davison vs. Reid Umstattd sang Love on the Brain by Rihanna--  I found this to be somewhat of an odd song choice and pairing, these two guys couldn't be more different from each other, and even for Davison this song didn't really suit him. Blake said he would go with Davison. Kelly thought both of them held their own and she didn't know who she would pick.
Adam chose Reid

Montages.....

Team Blake: Bransen Ireland vs. Jaron Strom sang Head Over Boots by Jon Pardi, Blake chose Jaron

Team Kelly: Jamella vs. Teana Boston sang Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow by Carole King, Kelly chose Jamella

Team Alicia: Johnny Bliss vs. Megan Lee sang Versace on the Floor by Bruno Mars, Alicia chose Johnny

Team Alicia: Jordyn Simone vs. Kelsea Johnson sang Don't Let Go by En Vogue-- I thought Kelsea sounded great in rehearsals but when it came to the actual performance night, I felt like her voice was strained and she faltered. Jordyn's voice was strong and soulful. There was a real fullness and roundness to her tone, and it is so hard to believe she is only 17, I'd go with her.  Adam said he'd go with Jordyn. Blake liked that rasp that Kelsea had in her voice. Kelly also said that she would go with Kelsea.
Alicia chose Kelsea, Adam pushed to steal Jordyn right behind was Kelly. Adam argued that he said Jordyn won that battle, and Jordyn chose Adam



Who did I like tonight? If Kelsea's voice heals she'll be a contender and I see Jordyn taking notes from Adam and only growing from here.

The Voice Season 14: The Blinds Conclude and I'm Praying for the Battle Rounds

Genesis Diaz sang Praying by Kesha-- I like her song choice and I actually liked the style choices she made with the song. I did think there was a little bit too much growling. Adam turned at the last minute, bu he was first, Blake actually turned right after the song ended. Adam said do you want to be with a leader or a follower.
Genesis chose Adam

Sharane Calister sang Make it Rain by Ed Sheeran-- Sharane just has a killer range and her vocals are so focused and strong. Alicia turned and kept begging Kelly to turn because she was so good but she was skeptical of turning because she didn't think she had a chance against Alicia. Kelly said, I had to turn at the end because to not turn for talent like yours is disrespectful.
Sharane chose Alicia

Dallas Caroline sang You Are Always on My Mind by Willie Nelson-- I wasn't crazy about Dallas, but evidently the coaches liked her a lot. Not particularly surprising.... that she chose..... Blake. Kelly was hoping that maybe country artists will come out and they will now have to choose her or Adam because Blake's team is full.
Dallas chose Blake

Jackie Verna sang Peter Pan by Kelsea Ballerini-- Jackie was great, I didn't love the song, but she had so much conviction in her performance. Adam turned, and he was so happy she was a great country singer and not on Blake's team. She said I love you Blake and he said, I love you too. Adam was happy that his team is full and she's like Cassidy Pope.
Adam chose Jackie

Amber Sauer sang Shape of You by Ed Sheeran-- O-M-G! I love how she flipped this Ed Sheeran song and I am sure he's loving it too! Her interpretation, the range, the sheer vocal ability. Amber will be a force in this competition. And Kelly wins her!
Kelly chose Amber

Amber, Genesis, and Sharane are my girls! I'll be watching for them.... hopefully in the lives.
