The Voice Season 13: The W.O.M.E.N. Dominate Tonight!

Team Adam: Brandon Brown vs. Jon Mero singing I Wish it Would Rain by The Temptations-- This battle felt so throwback to me, it felt like we were stepping back to Motown. Brandon sounded more the part but there is something so undeniable about Jon's experience and vocal skills. Blake said Brandon is a great singer and Jon, you're a once in a lifetime vocalist. Jen said it felt like a true battle. Miley said, Jon, I see the performer in you. Adam said Brandon embodied the song in that era. Jon, you have your own sound and experience under your belt.
Adam chose Jon

Team Blake: Red Marlow vs. Ryan Scripps singing Fishin' in the Dark by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band-- Both of them were fantastic! I think considering that they are opposite each other, they sound so good together. I gravitate to Red because he has a style that makes you sit up and pay attention. Jen liked Ryan's swag but said Red is her kinda guy all day long. Adam said you were both great, I think you guys are equal. Miley said Ryan you're where country music is now and Red you are Nashville.
Blake chose Red

Team Miley: Addison Agen vs. Karli Webster singing Girls Just Want to Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper-- Genuinely loved the arrangement; Addison is special and Karli has one of those pure voices. Blake said it sounded like two sad ladies that really wanted to have fun. Adam wished he was able to hear them more as individuals and hinted at stealing one of them. Jen said Addison got into a singing pose like she was gonna give her something and Karli has a classic, pure voice.
Miley chose Karli, and Adam and Jennifer Hudson are in it to steal Addison... Addison chose Adam

Team Blake: Anna Catherine DeHart vs. Kristi Hoopes singing Independence Day by Martina McBride-- Blake chose Anna

Team Jennifer: Alexandra Joyce vs. Jeremiah Miller singing One Call Away by Charlie Puth-- Jennifer chose Jeremiah

Team Adam: Emily Luther vs. Gary Carpentier singing Send my Love to Your New Lover by Adele-- Adam chose Emily

Team Jennifer-- Shi'Ann Jones vs. Stephan Marcellus singing Oh Darlin' by The Beatles-- Both are great! Miley is right, Shi'Ann's voice is ageless, she sounds like she has been doing this forever and yet she is only 15. With Stephan, there is so much possibility in terms of what he could do as an artist. Adam said they have unique and powerful qualities. Adam said he would pick Stephan. Blake said I've been doing this show for 100 years, Stephan, your voice cuts through, you have everyone's attention. Shi'Ann you could win this show.
Jen chose Shi'Ann and Miley stole Stephan

Team Adam: Anthony Alexander vs. Michael Kight singing I Feel It Coming by the Weeknd-- Anthony impressed me more because he took some risks. But maybe it was also impressive that Michael was as pitch perfect as he was. Blake thought it fit well for both of them. Anthony you have more range but you had some pitch issues. Michael you were at home on the stage. Jen said I love your voice Anthony. Miley said I didn't see an age difference, I might keep Anthony. Adam said this boils down to who I can see moving forward with tomorrow. Adam said Anthony is the raw singer. I am surprised no one stole Michael.
Adam chose Anthony

Team Miley: Janice Freeman vs. Katrina Ross singing W.O.M.A.N. by Etta James-- Wow, everyone was on their feet and rightfully so. That was a masterclass performance, their voices were incredible. Katrina clearly has no boundaries, her talent is just not measurable. Janice has so much class and control in her voice. Adam said these two women ripped the roof off the house. You're both phenomenal. Blake said Janice your voice is unforgettable, and Katrina if your voice wasn't so good, I'd send you to WWE. Jen said Katrina you made me so proud to be a woman, and Janice you have so much presence.
Miley choce Janice and Jen stole Katrina

Wow so many incredible contestants I'll be keeping up with...... I don't even think I can narrow it down.

The Blinds Continue: Season 13, Teams Almost Full!

Chloe Kohanski sang The Chain by Fleetwood Mac-- I actually loved her song choice and her voice was killer. She has that thick, raspy voice, it sounded so full. Blake and Miley turned, followed by Jen. Blake said you have a rock and roll voice, you sound unique and I'd love to have you on my team so bad. Miley said you really know who you are. Jenn said this is about owning your own voice. The coaches are really going at it for her!
Chloe chose Miley

Olivia Kay sang Ghost by Ella Henderson-- no one turned, her voice

Dennis Drummond sang She Talks to Angels by The Black Crows-- Adam and Blake turned around, Adam said this knit-wit turned around and now it's an old school battle. Blake said I like the fact that different genres are coming to Nashville. He said you have a deep growly rock and roll voice.. Adam said I think we're dynamic enough to work with anybody.
Dennis chose Blake

Ignatious Carmouche sang Latch by Disclosure and Sam Smith-- I am not digging the arrangement of the song but I think Ignatious has a killer voice. He has a strong range. Jen looked like she was about to cry. Ignatious said he was singing to Jen's heart.
Ignatious chose Jennifer

Rebecca Brunner sang Believer by Imagine Dragons-- Liked her voice, but the song seemed wrong all together. Blake turned at the last minute and she is lucky he saw some potential in her despite a poor song choice. Blake chose Rebecca

Brandon Brown sang Georgia on My Mind by Ray Charles-- Wow, everyone except Miley turned. This seemed 4 chair turn worthy to me. Adam thought the song was sung with subtlety, nuance, and soul. Jenn Hudson said she hear Donny Hathaway in his voice. Jenn said Adam lays across the chair and begs and Blake points to himself. Blake thought he sounded like Willie Nelson. I don't see what Blake is saying. I do love what Adam said about him having that nuance and soul in his voice.
Brandon chose Adam

Nathan Grahan-- no one turned

Whitney Fenimore sang Hold On We're Going Home by Drake-- I could see Adam thinking when she was singing because it reminded him of Christina Grimmie. Miley and Adam ended up turning. Miley made her all girl team pitch. Adam said that it made him smile to hear her singing that song like that. Whitney has a unique voice, it will be interesting to see where she takes this. Inspired by Songs About Jane.....
Whitney chose Adam

Ilianna Viramontes sang New Soul by Yael Naim-- Her voice cracked at a few points, but I think she is definitely coachable and has some good quirks in her voice. Miley and Blake turned. Blake said I love your voice, and I see how excited you were to see Miley. I love how you navigated the melody with perfect pitch. Adam actually thinks she will be popular on the show. Miley said if you were trapped in a box, who would you want to be trapped in a box with?
Ilianna chose Miley

Katrina Rose went to Team Miley
Natalie Stovall went to Team Blake
Ryan Scripps went to Team Blake

Meagan McNeal sang I Can't Feel my Face by The Weeknd-- Jenn was the only one who turned. Meagan is from Chicago, this is a perfect match! Meagan is a unique creature, her voice is different, her look is different. I love her vibe and how she just changed up the whole song.

Jon Mero sang Versace on the Floor by Bruno Mars-- 4 chair turn and this was a worthy one too! Wow, I loved his voice and his performance. His personality came through so well. Jenn said I felt like I was at your show. Miley said are you wearing bedazzled denim? I am too! Adam said you remind me of Prince. This is a step on the never ending staircase of your career. Jenn liked to see people own their moment. Blake said if I would have done some of those moves you did, I would have hyper extended my knee. I hit my button because you're an incredible singer.
Jon chose Adam

Who do I think is going far? Jon, Chloe, and Whitney
