Emily Hough sang Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell-- I was not blown away. I actually thought she was out of tune several times. The coaches liked her though. Adam turned, then Blake, and Jennifer.
It just seemed like despite the coaches thinking that her voice was angelic she probably needs a few more years. That being said, here we are.
Emily chose Adam
Josh Davis sang Too Good at Goodbye by Sam Smith-- Another boring performance for me! I thought the song was wrong for him. Kelly and Jennifer turned. Kelly said she wants a male power voice on her team to hang with the females.
Josh chose Kelly
Lisa Ramey sang Beautiful Trauma by Pink-- Was not good, didn't connect with the song. No one turned. Kelly and Adam didn't think she chose the right song. Blake felt there were pitch issues.
Katrina Cain sang Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac-- I loved how she didn't change the feeling of the song too much. She was definitely the strongest of the night so far. Her voice is pretty. Jennifer and Blake both hit their buttons. Blake liked the mysterious of the version of the song that she did. Jennifer liked her versatility. I was honestly thinking she was going to go with Jennifer.
Katrina chose Blake
Matt Johnson sang Never Too Much by Luther Vandross-- I liked it but I was waiting for him to go to that falsetto note that Luther does and it never happened. I wanted to see more range from him. Matt said he has been auditioning his season one. Jennifer was the only one to turn so she scored Matt.
Jennifer chose Matt
OMG! The Battles are starting tonight?!
Team Kelly: Sandyredd vs. Cody Ray Raymond sang Cry to Me by Solomon Burke-- Thomas Rhett is the advisor, I love him! Oh WOW! I love this performance, the song was perfect for them; they're a good match and compliment each other so well. Cody is much improved from the Blinds and he is better than I thought he would be. Sandy is so strong, she is a force of nature. Without question, both of them are moving on, and someone is getting saved. Adam says he will save whoever doesn't move on cause he's no dummy. Blake said you guys are superheroes individually and avengers together. He called Cody vintage and Sandy like no one in this world. Kelly said Cody is like Chris Stapleton and she said Sandy is one of the best singers she has ever heard in her life.
Kelly chose Cody and Sandy was saved by all three coaches and she chose Jennifer
Team Blake: Michael Lee vs. Joey Green sang A Thing Called Love by Bonnie Raitt-- Keith Urban is Blake's advisor. Michael to me is the more seasoned vocalist, he's stronger, and more skilled. Jennifer thought Michael had more presence and would go with him.
Blake chose Michael
Team Jennifer: Patrique Fortson vs. Colton Smith sang God Gave Me You by Blake Shelton-- I forgot this was a Blake Shelton song. I love how they turned it into a gospel song in a way. Patrique's range is incredible, and Colton has a gorgeous tone to his voice.
Jennifer chose Patrique and Blake saved Colton!
Katrina out of the blinds is going to be good in this competition.
With the battles, Cody impressed me and SandyRedd is continuing to be amazing.
I also cannot deny Michael, there's something special about him.

The Voice Season 15: The Blinds Are Drippin' In Finesse
Caeland Garner sang Dancing in the Moonlight by King Harvest-- This was a toned down performance of Dancing in the Moonlight. I definitely would have liked to see more dynamics. Blake is right when he said your voice sounds like it comes from a different time. He does seem like a 70s throwback artist. Jennifer thought he had a beautiful instrument. Jen and Blake were the only ones to turn. Caeland knows Red Marlowe who was Team Blake not too long ago, so of course.....
Caeland chose Blake
Madison Cain sang You Oughta Know by Alanis Morrissette-- She grew up in a musical family; her dad was the keyboarder for Journey! I love this song choice but this needed to be sung like Kelly said, with some abandon. It needed to be dirtied up a little bit. This song is angry and reckless!
Madison didn't get a chair turn but she did make it to the comeback stage!
Lela sang Miami by Camilla Cabello-- Lela, she is young, it's impressive that she has such a good tone. Being bilingual in music is so essential right now and she did that effortlessly. She definitely has some work to do if she wants to keep up with some of the experienced artists but the has the goods. Kelly and J. Hud turned for her. Jenn asked if she dances and she said she does. Kelly encouraged her to keep singing in Spanish.
Lela chose Jennifer
Cody Ray Raymond sang Born Under a Bad Sign by Albert King-- Okay, so I will say I was not crazy about it. Jennifer liked how soulful he was. Kelly liked his runs and how effortless he sounded. He says his musical taste is Seattle bands from the 90s, and Adam says he regrets not turning. I think he and Adam would have been a great match. Cody also says he is influenced a lot by Boyz II Men.
Cody chose Kelly
Jake Wells sang When the Stars Go Blue by Ryan Adams-- This was my performance of the night! Jake's voice is just pretty! He has vulnerability, emotion when he sings; there is something special about him. He sings gospel music and sings in church with his family. I low key panicked a little bit cause the end of his performance came up and no one was turning, but of course, Adam saved the day and turned. Adam said you're so different and to not reward that is the antithesis of what The Voice is all about. J. Hud talked about the layers in his voice. She said good on Adam for turning around and not missing that, not letting his voice slip through the cracks. I love how humble she is!
Adam chose Jake
Abby Cates sang Scars to Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara-- Abby has a gorgeous tone to her voice, she does sound like Tori Kelly like Kelly said. Kelly was the only one who turned for her. I am actually surprised she was only a one chair turn, she might be a surprise in this competition.
Kelly chose Abby
Funsho sang Finesse by Bruno Mars-- This definitely should have been a 4 chair turn! Blake didn't turn. Adam was first out, then Jenn, and Kelly. Funsho made this song his own which is so hard because Bruno Mars is such a stylized artist, and it is not easy to sing anything he does. I loved his big notes, I loved his falsetto. This was so good! Adam said Bruno is one of the greatest singers, your vocal is so complete, you literally have it all. Adam said I led and they followed. Kelly said I loved that you did such a good job making that song your own. Jenn said your voice did not get lost in the music, that's what made me turn my chair.
Funsho chose Adam because he is a HUGE fan
Funsho is going to go far in this and Jake Wells and Abby Cates are HUGE dark horses in this! <3 nbsp="" p="">
