The Voice Season 30: I'm On My Own With Some of My Picks Tonight

The Battles Continue: 

Team Queen: Luke Pope vs. Big Country sang Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton-- That was an even matching! I think they're both worthy of moving on. Kelly thought it was a seamless and cool performance. Adam said I turned for both of you guys but you didn't pick me. He enjoyed the harmonies. Queen thought that they sounded amazing together. Big Country committed to the performance. Luke I am proud of you and that you got to have this moment. Queen chose Big Country. She said he is a presence and a force. 

Team Kelly: Anna McElroy vs. Johnnie Kapua sang Some Things I'll Never Know by Teddy Swims and Maren Morris-- Both amazing artists. Johnnie caught some nerves but recovered well, but sometimes that can cost you.  Queen said Anna you're a beast and Johnnie you got a touch of the nerves and then let the soul come out. Kelly said Johnnie the notes are effortless. Anna I love the rasp in your voice, it's like you've been smoking but you don't. I would love to work with both of you after this. Kelly chose Anna. 

Team Riley: Keiyana Osmond vs. Brendan Coulter sang She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5-- For me, I am leaning with Brendan on this. I loved his falsetto and where he took the song. Adam said it was an honor to have then singing a song he wrote all those years ago. He said you both did great, and it's just a matter of what direction Riley wants to go in. I will love to see him suffer so I am going to leave the decision to him. Wow! Riley chose Keiyana. 

Team Adam: Luke Curran vs. Evan James sang You Look Like I'm Going To Wind Up Missing You by Tucker Wetmore-- Wow! That was actually one of my faves of the night so far. I thought they were so closely matched. I think I lean with Luke. I just enjoy his rasp. Queen said they were locked in, and she loved it. She said she feels both of them can move forward. Riley enjoyed the arrangement. Kelly said-- Evan you have presence and you fill the space, Luke you have rasp and a storyteller vibe. Adam has gone back and forth with who he is going to choose. Adam chose Evan. 

Team Kelly: Nina Howland vs. Hazel Gerson sang Breathe Me by Sia-- I think both of them should go through. Nina is unreal though, her vocals are off the charts good. She must move forward in my opinion. Riley enjoyed both of them but would lean a little with Hazel. Kelly said Hazel you're more outward and you emote, Nina you're more introverted with your emotions and you draw people in. Kelly chose Nina! I got one right!

Team Queen: Chari vs. Marcus Ladden Jr. sang On My Own by Patti LaBelle-- I am going to cry. That performance was so beautiful and it had so much power. I expected Chari to come out with a big voice, but Marcus was a surprise. There was something about his voice that was so nostalgic. I would need to lean with Marcus. He was the most pleasant surprise. Riley said he could not choose. Kelly said Marcus your voice fills the room for sure, Chari you're effortless, wanted you on my team then and now. Adam said what I did. It was expected from Chari but from Marcus-- that was a surprise. Queen thought it was incredible and she was so proud of both of them. Queen chose Chari, but Kelly thankfully saved Marcus. 

The Voice Season 30: I Surrent to Night 4 of the Blinds

Cade Mower sang Something in the Orange by Zach Bryan-- He was a quick four chair turn. His voice and his tone are intriguing. He reminds me a little bit of Morgan Wallen. Adam said I'm proud of you and me for turning around first, barely beat Kelly. Kelly was like "Adam is working hard down there". He said I work hard for the people I love. He brought up unlikely pairings. Queen said speaking of unlikely pairings. Riley said he pictures Cade going out on tour with him and he put his cowboy hat on. Kelly said she knows how to navigate a competition well. 
Cade chose Riley

Bryan Jaymes sang Every Time You Go Away by Paul Young-- I loved his take on this song, he slowed it down and made it really soulful. Queen liked how he made the song his own. Bryan is from New Orleans. Kelly said he has an incredible range. I am so shocked that Kelly did not turn. Adam said he loved how he took the song and turned it into his own thing. He cited Javier Colon on his team season one. Riley said you are going to be successful on this show no matter who you choose. 
Bryan chose Queen

Allie Rae sang Black Velvet by Alannah Myles-- I think Adam is being guarded. He didn't turn. She's 15! Wow! She sounds amazing and so controlled on that vocal. Kelly, Riley, and Queen turned. Kelly loved how the song showed her range. Queen said you didn't reach too far but you reached far enough. Allie cited Chris Stapleton as an influence. Kelly said we're so alike. Riley said he loved how different she is, and used his "First In" on Allie, so she is on Team Riley. 

Connor Closs sang Too Sweet by Hosier-- He was good! I love how I could hear every word of the song. That was so energetic and refreshing. Adam and Riley turned. Connor is from NJ! Queen is bummed that she didn't turn. Riley said that's a tough song and he did it justice. He needs someone with a soul vibe on his team. Adam said enough about them. He said you did such a great job with the chorus of the song. We live in a similar vocal range and I'd love to work with you. 

Serrin Joy sang Be Without You By Mary J Blige-- no one turned, she just sounded out of breath. 

Saade sang Oscar Winning Tears by Raye-- Okay she got three out of four to turn. Adam didn't turn. Kelly said you crushed that. Riley introduced himself and she said I know who you are. 
Saade said she grew up listening to Kelly Clarkson! 

Everett  Bounds sang Drivin' My Life Away by Eddie Rabbitt-- Kelly said she was singing harmony the whole time. Riley was the only one who turned and it made sense. He is the perfect coach for Everett. He has one of those true authentic rock country voices.

Sophia Liano sang I Surrender by Celine Dion-- She chose Team Queen

Anna McElroy sang 80s Mercedes by Maren Morris-- I did not care for that. Kelly, Riley, and Queen all turned. Adam was smart to pass here. Kelly is basically conceding because she thinks Anna is going to choose Riley. Queen said you came on the stage and showed who was boss.  Wow! I seriously thought that she was going to pick Riley! She picked Kelly!  

Julia Clark sang Bellyache by Billie Eilish-- I have to be honest, I didn't like the song at all. I think she has a good voice but the song went nowhere for me. Queen and Adam turned. Queen felt like there was a whole vibe with that song. Julia chose Adam. 

Cal Cook sang The Dress by Dijon-- Adam was the only one who turned here. 

Brett Tomberlin sang Your Man by Josh Turner-- I had a feeling no one was going to turn. 

Chari sang Get Here by Oleta Adams-- She sounded amazing; her voice was so full and round and warm. Riley said that was an amazing performance. You filled the room with your voice, it was flawless. Kelly said what a gift, what have you been doing? Kelly said you are incredible, you're why this show was created, and I can't wait to see what you do on my team. Adam said did you see who won last season? Alexxia Jay and she had an incredible coach, and she said was it you? And he said I am glad you mentioned that. Queen said crown is off to you, thank you for that. Queen said I've never won the voice, but I'd love to be your coach. Riley said I've never won, maybe we could do it together. Chari chose Queen. 

My picks:

Cade Mower

Bryan Jaymes

Connor Closs
