The Voice Season 6: Round 2 of the Battles, Part 2 and 3

Part 2:

Team Blake: Sisaundra Lewis vs. Biff Gore sang It's a Man's Man's Man's World by James Brown-- All things considered this was a fairly matched battle. Sisaundra brings the sick vocal and Biff brings the entertainment factor. What it came down to for Blake was those killer vocals.
Blake chose Sisaundra

Team Shakira: Dendyl vs. Deja Hall sang Say Something by a Great Big World and Christina Aguilera-- My favorite in this was Deja; I think she is so talented and poised for someone her age. Adam brought up Deja's rich tone. Blake liked Deja's innocence but admired Ddendyl's artistry. Usher felt like going with Deja was right because she has so much room to grow.
Shakira chose Deja

Team Shakira: Emily B vs Kristen Merlin sang I Can Love You Better by Dixie Chicks-- Kristen Merlin wins the Battle

Team Usher: Stevie Jo vs. Morgan Wallen sang Story of My Life by One Direction-- Usher said, Morgan, I didn't know you had a falsetto, and he said Stevie Jo has this amazing ability to sing tricky melodies. I enjoyed both singers, and I liked how they turned a straight pop song into a ballad.
Usher chose Stevie Jo and Adam stole Morgan


Part 3:

Team Shakira: Clarissa Serna vs Dani Moz sang Perfect by Pink-- Maybe it's cause they were first out of the gate tonight but I wasn't all that impressed with either one. Dani won! Yay!
Shakira chose Dani

Team Adam: Dawn & Hawkes vs. Kat Perkins sang Suddenly I See by K.T. Tunstall-- Blake felt like Dawn & Hawkes were backing Kat up. Usher jumped on the Kat bandwagon as well. Dawn & Hawkes sounded as one and Kat stood out, Shakira said. Adam said Kat is one of the most underrated singers in this competition. I didn't think Kat was all that great, I would have picked Dawn & Hawkes.
Adam chose Kat

Team Usher: Melissa Jimenez vs. Music Box sang Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys-- I thought both artists were quite strong, I preferred Melissa's style a little bit more, so I lean more towards her. Unsure what Shakira was talking about when she was talking about many weak moments in the performance. Adam said they both had good moments but Melissa perhaps had more good moments. Blake said Melissa is a smooth singer, but he is still curious about Music Box and for that reason would go with her. Usher said because he is looking forward to teaching her, he picks Melissa.
Usher chose Melissa

Team Blake: Kaleigh Glanton vs. Ryan Whyte Maloney sang Easy by Rascal Flatts and Natasha Bedingfield-- Usher said he felt the challenge of the song but felt that Kaleigh and Ryan were supportive of one another. Blake was impressed with both of them. He decided he needed to go with overall consistency and chose Ryan. I agree; he's conquered some tough songs. Kaleigh allowed her nerves to get the best of her. She actually sounded better during rehearsals than she did on the stage. I agree with Usher's comment in that Easy is a tough song to sing.
Blake chose Ryan

 Team Adam: Brittnee Camelle vs. Jake Barker sang Climax by Usher-- That was my fave battle of the night. I thought that they took a huge risk singing that song, it's really high, and they both pulled it off. Blake felt like Jake had the edge. Usher said it was one of his most risky songs, and he thought that they both gave great performances. Shakira said Jake embraced the challenge and she would give it to him. Adam said Brittnee had some unbelievable notes in there, and he said Jake sounds like he has been singing his whole life.
Adam chose Jake

Team Usher: Madilyn Paige vs. Bria Kelly sang I'll Stand by You by The Pretenders-- I liked both of them. Seems they can both use some work. Adam said he was left wanting more, and I agree with that. Blake echoed a similar thought. Usher believes they both need a learning experience moving forward.
Usher chose Bria and yes, Blake stole Madilyn

The Voice Season Six: The Battles Continue

Team Shakira: Clarissa Serna vs. Jeremy Briggs sang Cold as Ice by Foreigner-- I actually believe that this song was better suited to Jeremy, and I think out of everyone in this competition so far, he's been robbed more than anyone. The only coach able to see that Jeremy was better was Usher.
Who should win? Jeremy
Shakira chose Clarissa

Team Adam: Caleb Elder vs. Delvin Choice sang The Man by Aloe Blacc-- I actually genuinely liked both of these contestants. I wish both of them could have moved forward. Something that I learned about this song is that it's unusually tough to sing; it's tough to get the rhythm of this song right. Adam did a great job coaching them on it. It seemed unanimous with the judges comments that Delvin would be the one to emerge victorious.
Who should win? Delvin (secretly wish someone would have stolen Caleb)
Adam chose Delvin

Lightning Battle Rounds......

Team Blake – Megan Ruger vs. Ria Eaton – “My Happy Ending” – Avril Lavigne –Megan wins the battle

Team Shakira – Ddendyl vs. Lindsay Pagano – “I Feel the Earth Move” – Carole King – Ddendyl wins the Battle

Team Usher – Brothers Walker vs. Morgan Wallen – “Hey Brother” – Avicii –Morgan wins the battle

Team Usher: Brittnee Camelle vs. Melissa Jimenez sang Give it to Me by Melanie Fiona-- I loved this song choice, suited both women. I like both of them, Usher shouldn't have put them up against each other. What it comes down to is style and voice preference. I prefer the fullness and roundness of Brittnee's tone. Who should win? Brittnee (steal Melissa)
Usher chose Melissa, Adam and Shakira tried to steal Brittnee, Adam won. 

The Voice Blind Auditions Season Six: Night Six ... The Last Night of Blinds

Uneventful final night of blind auditions....

There was a 4 chair turn that shouldn't have been. The last guy was the best, and everyone else was just okay.

**4 Chair Turn** Kaleigh Glanton sang Have You Ever Seen the Rain by Creedence Clearwater Revival-- Completely unsure of why this was a four chair turn. In the end, Kaleigh goes with Team Blake. With a mediocre voice, she made a good choice for coach. I will look to be impressed in the battle rounds.
Kaleigh chose Blake and his team is complete

Brittnee Camelle sang Skyscraper by Demi Lovato--  I actually liked Brittnee. I think she has a strong voice, and I love her upper register. Usher turned pretty quickly, and Shakira pulled an Usher and waited til the last minute to turn. I can't believe Usher called her on it when he does it all the time. He was clearly taken by Brittnee; there was a look in his eye different from that of when he sees and hears other contestants. Blake and Adam encourage her to pick Shakira, and Brit preaches woman power, but in the end picks Usher.
Brittnee chose Usher and his team is complete

Lindsay Bruce sang Even if it Breaks Your Heart by Eli Young Band-- Adam and Shakira both turn for Lindsay but she ends up picking Shakira because she's a country singer, and Miranda Lambert is going to help out team Shakira.
Lindsay chose Shakira and her team is complete.

Caleb Elder sang Groove Me by King Floyd-- They saved the best for last tonight. I love Caleb's quirky nature. This is someone who actually deserved a four chair turn but didn't have the possibility of receiving one since Adam was the only coach with a spot to fill. This was totally Adam's gain because Caleb probably has more potential than any other contestant on this last night of blind auditions.
Adam gained Caleb
