The Voice Season 28: The Playoffs Open with Teams Michael and Reba

Team Reba: Aaron Nichols sang Beer Never Broke My Heart by Luke Combs-- I could see him on the stage and hear him on the radio right now. This song was so perfect for him. 




Team Michael: Jazz McKenzie sang Don't Stop Believing by Journey-- The coaches were all loving this and I was not a fan. She sounded off in my opinion. Voice did not come through as well as I think they thought it did. I'd send her packing. 




Team Reba: Ryan Mitchell sang Undressed by Sombr-- I dig that he chose Sombr but I think he should have done Back to Friends. He has the store power to move forward but I don't think Reba will choose him outright. He could get voted through by the public. Reba loved what he brought and said she is so proud of him. 




Team Michael: Trinity sang Barracuda by Heart-- Love how she is always bringing a different side or piece of herself. This was risky-- I hope it pays off for her in the best way cause I am a big fan. She has an amazing voice, the last 30 seconds was, wow! Snoop said she just moved up in my book. 




Team Reba: Aubrey Nicole sang Black Velvet by Alannah Myles-- Aubrey has grown in each round. She's a start in my opinion. I loved the sultriness and smokiness in her voice; it reminded me a little bit of Leann Rimes. Reba said, wow! Niall said no doubt you deserve a place in the finale; you showed us another side of you that we haven't seen before. There's something special about you. Reba called her the perfect package. 




Team Michael: Rob Cole sang I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack-- Loved how Rob made the song his own because it's so well known. Reba said he touched her and he took a sweet song and made it better. Snoop said I'm sweet on you, you have superstar potential. 




Team Reba: Peyton Kyle sang Hold Back the River by James Bay-- I loved his confidence and how as he sang he walked up the stage closer. What a phenomenal vocal. Snoop said the way you took your time and worked it. I'd listen to your music. Reba said you give a lot in rehearsals, but you give even more when you get on the stage. 




Team Michael: Max Chambers sang A Change is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke-- I loved it and it was definitely an inspired performance. I wanted a little more. I think I wanted to hear more passion when he says the "back down to my knees". Snoop said, that's the winner of The Voice. 




Michael chose Jazz, she's probably the only person on his team that I would not have picked. So I am really confused, but it was his choice. I would have chosen in order-- Trinity, Rob, Max, Jazz. 

Reba chose Aubrey, anyone she chose would have been a good choice. In order I would have picked Peyton, Aubrey or Aaron, and Ryan.

The Voice Season 28: The Battles Come to a Close and the Knockouts Begin

Team Snoop: Ralph Edwards vs. Jerrell Melton sang Lose Control by Teddy Swims-- I have a feeling Snoop is going to choose Ralph; however, I would choose Jerrell. I liked how polished his runs were in this performance. Niall loved the song choice. Reba said powerful and smooth like butter. She loved the harmonies, she said it would be a hard decision but she would go with Jerrell. Michael compared Jerrell to Sam Cooke but said Ralph will go far on the show. Snoop said Jerrell went out of the box.   
Snoop chose Ralph, just like I suspected 


Team Reba: Shan Scott vs. Peyton Kyle sang Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House-- I have been a huge Peyton fan since the blinds. I love what he did here. Shan, I didn't really pay attention to, but I loved her here. I would still go with Peyton. He just impressed the heck out of me. I also loved this acoustic version. Snoop couldn't choose. Michael would lean more Peyton and Niall would lean more Shan. Reba said she loves the break in Peyton's voice. 
Reba chose Peyton


Lightning Round: 
Team Michael: Teo Ramdel vs. Elias Gomez sang Die with a Smile by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars 
Michael chose Teo 

Team Niall: Dek of Hearts vs. Jack Austin sang I Will Wait by Mumford & Sons-- I love both artists. I think I would lean with Jack just because I love his theater influence and I am excited to see how he grows. Reba said Dek of Hearts you guys are great, I love the harmonies, Jack, you're cute as a button. I'd pick all four of you. Michael said Jack you fit in perfectly with Dek of Hearts. Snoop liked how Jack was dancing up there. He said they were all just having fun up there and he's glad that he doesn't have to choose. 
Niall chose Dek of Hearts and Michael stole Jack



The Knockouts:

Mega Mentor: Joe Walsh 

Team Reba: Aubrey Nicole sang I'm Gonna Love You Through It by Martina McBride and Leyton Robinson sang I Could Use a Love Song by Maren Morris --  Aubrey sounded beautiful! I love Leyton but I think she sounded a little shouty in this performance. Reba said Leyton took great direction from Joe. Reba said Aubrey your performance reminded me of how life goes on. I'm leaning towards Aubrey, and Reba chose Aubrey. 


Zac Brown is the other Mega Mentor. 

Team Snoop: Ralph Edwards sang Dive by Ed Sheeran and Kenny Iko sang There Goes My Baby by Usher-- I love Kenny's confidence and energy on the stage. He is definitely my type of artist and song choice was perfect for him. Reba was standing up for him! She loved it. I liked Ralph's performance as well but I think ultimately, I felt Kenny's a little more. Niall said Kenny I feel like I'm watching a pop star. Reba said Kenny you took control of the stage, Ralph your voice comes from your toenails. Michael said Kenny you prepare for your performances and come and hang with us. Ralph you sang with ease. Snoop said Kenny you're a superstar, and this is called showbiz. Ralph you showed that there is more to your voice. 
Snoop chose Ralph, wow, I think that was an oversight. 



Team Niall: Sadie Dahl sang Good at Goodbyes by Sam Smith and Ava Nat sang Hopelessly Devoted to You by Olivia Newton John-- I loved both ladies, but I think I agree with Niall, I lean towards Ava and her storytelling abilities. Reba said she can't choose, she'd pick them both. Sadie your vibrato and Ava your beautiful tone. Ava I'd give you the edge today. Snoop said he would lean towards Sadie. Niall said Sadie you straightened out your pitch issues, and Ava you told a beautiful story. Niall said Ava is consistent every time, I feel so confident.
Niall chose Ava 



Loving Aubrey Nicole, Ava Nat, and Peyton Kyle in this episode <3 <3 <3

The Voice Season 28: The Battles Begin with an Exciting Spin

Night 1: 

The new twist: the artists have to pick their own battle partners. 

Snoop's advisor is Lizzo, Reba's is Nick Jonas, Michael's is Kelsea Ballerini, and Niall's is Lewis Capaldi

Team Snoop: Yoshihanna vs. Natalia Albertini sang You Make Me Feel (Like a Natural Woman) by Aretha Franklin-- I did not care for Yoshihanna in the blinds, but she proved her worth here. She sounded strong. Reba said I thought you were Aretha Franklin standing up there Yoshihanna. Michael said he would go with Natalia. Snoop said I can only keep one of you, my heart is broken. 
Snoop chose Yoshihanna and saved Natalia


Team Reba: Aaron Nichols vs. Daron Lameek sang Fooled Around and Fell in Love by Elvin Bishop-- This was an interesting pairing, they could not be more different butt were well matched. Michael said Daron respected the song but took it and made it his. He might choose him. Snoop liked both of them, he said I liked him, but I liked how he sounded too, and I didn't tell you who he is. Niall said Daron was effortless and he leans towards him. 
Reba chose Aaron



Team Michael: Jazz McKenzie vs. Trinity sang Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai-- My preference here was Trinity. I loved how sharp her vocal and performance was. Snoop said this was great showmanship. Niall said you two brought a different league. Reba said if it was a run, you both tied. Everyone vocalized that they would steal. Michael said Trinity love the jazz in your voice, and Jazz your vocal was powerful. 
Michael chose Jazz, Trinity was saved by Michael and stolen by all three coaches.  
Trinity chose to stay on Team Michael



Team Niall: Revel Day vs. Dustin Dale Gaspard sang Too Sweet by Hozier-- I love Dustin! Reba said Dustin you were raw but refined. Michael said, Dustin our hair is so different but our arms are the same. Revel you were so soulful and I'd pick you because of how you managed to sing out of the box. Snoop said Revel, your performance allowed Dustin to show us so many voices. 
Niall chose Dustin 


Team Snoop: Kanard Thomas vs. Kenny Iko sang All The Things (Your Man Won't Do)-- I think this is my fave performance of the night, so well matched and felt like a duet. Snoop should have saved his save for them!!! All the coaches were on their feet. Niall said it just got a bit warmer in the studio. Kanard there is something nostalgic in your voice.  Kenny your performance value is great. Reba said dope and fire, I don't know who you're gonna choose, Snoop. Snoop said, Kanard you delivered with your upper register, Kenny said you stayed in your lower register and went to the falsetto when you needed to.
Snoop chose Kenny 


Team Michael: Austin Gilbert vs. Rob Cole sang Honeybee by Blake Shelton-- Both of these guys are so good and tie for my fave performance of the night. I love the song, and I loved how both of them made it their own. Snoop said I felt Blake's spirit. He loved Austin's energy, but would choose Rob for vocals. Michael said Austin's voice was sweet, and he loved Rob's performance.
Michael chose Rob, Reba stole Austin


Night 2: 

Team Reba: Ryan Mitchell vs. Letter to Elise sang Don't You Forget About Me by Simple Minds-- That was an awesome battle, loved the song choice and how their voices blended. Snoop said I loved the harmonies, Ryan you're a superstar. Niall said that was unexpected and perfect. Niall said I would lean towards Ryan personally. Michael said Letter to Elise your interpretation was imaginative, and Ryan you keep getting better. You remind me of the lead singer from INXS, you have so much charisma. Reba said if you have more fun it will be more fun for the audience, and you did that. 
Reba chose Ryan


Team Snoop: Toni Lorene vs. Sadie Dahl sang Love On The Brain by Rihanna-- This was a well matched battle. I love both of these ladies. I was not a fan of Toni's in the blinds but she made a believer out of me. Sadie, I have loved since day one, she is greatness. I love how she emotes. Snoop loved both of them and asked why they picked each other.
Snoop chose Toni, and Niall stole Sadie


Team Michael: Lucas Beltran vs. Max Cooper III sang It's a Beautiful Day by Michael Buble-- This is awesome, loved the arrangement. Snoop is standing up! They both have great voices. I hope they both get to move forward. Niall was standing and loved it as well. Reba is smiling from ear to ear. And all the coaches are on their feet. Peruvian Lou and Super Max Cooper, sang with energy and pizzazz. Niall loved the arrangement, Max you impressed me and your vocal range is crazy. Lucas I'd sit down and listen to you in a bar and order a dirty martini. Michael said Lucas, you're 19 years old, and Max you can sing anything. 
Michael chose Max but said he is gonna be there for Lucas 


Team Niall: Kayleigh Clark vs. Camille Tredoux sang Cowboys Cry Too by Kelsea Ballerini and Noah Kahan-- To me I gave Camille the edge going into battles but Kayleigh is a superstar in my opinion. She should be making records right now. Reba loved Camille's voice, it reminded her of Stevie Nicks. She said Kayleigh's voice reminded her of Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood. Michael said the way Camille took on the song is a testament to the artist she is. He would give the edge to Kayleigh. Snoop said Kayleigh sang the song like it was hers. Niall said Camille's tone was perfect, and Kayleigh did sing the song like it was hers.
Niall chose Kayleigh



Team Niall Lightning round Alex Brown vs. Liam Von Elbe sang Linger by The Cranberries-- Niall chose Liam

Team Michael: Marty O'Reilly vs. Carly Harvey sang At This Moment--  Snoop said I need a beer, that was an unexpected duet that I needed. Niall said Marty you did such a good job hanging with Carly. He liked Marty's storyteller voice but said Carly has one of the strongest vocals in the competition. Reba enjoyed both but would choose Marty. 
Michael chose Marty


Team Reba: Aubrey Nicole vs. Cori Kennedy sang Something Bad by Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood-- Wow they were both dynamite. That felt like a duet. Michael said if I could be anyone, I'd be Reba McEntire. He said Cori you crushed and Aubrey that was awesome. Snoop said Reba has a way of seeing talent in people and then showing the other coaches how good they are. Snoop said y'all made something bad something good. He said that's sisterhood and that's love. He leaned with Cori. Niall said that was a real battle, and he would lean with Cori.
Reba chose Cori, saved Aubrey and Snoop came in and tried to steal. Aubrey chose to stay with Reba.
