The Voice Season 26-- Team Reba and Team Snoop: The Road to the Playoffs

Team Reba: Adam Bohanan sang Think I'm In Love With You by Chris Stapleton-- Adam has been one of my favorites since the beginning. He doesn't sing one wrong note. Gwen calls him really really good. Michael said he wants to drink whiskey with him. Snoop likes how he has no fear. Reba believes he is someone who will get better and better. 

Team Snoop: Christina Eagle sang Fancy by Reba McEntire-- This was a bit of an odd song choice for Christina, unsure how she connected to this song. Reba called her performance incredible. Michael said there are so many reasons to love you. Snoop complimented her confidence.  

Team Reba: Edward Preble sang All of Me by Frank Sinatra-- I love this song for him. This performance made me smile from start to finish. Michael said you're everything I love about music and this business. Snoop liked how he stepped up his game on his showmanship. Reba said you fascinate me and people will fall in love with you the way I have. 

Team Snoop: Aliyah Khaylyn sang I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston--Michael said you paid tribute to Whitney and made it yours. Reba said I love your voice, you're so good. Gwen said this is your lane, congratulations. Snoop said I saw greatness, you stood in your power. 

Team Reba: Katie O sang Hang Tight Honey by Lainey Wilson-- You can tell Katie O took the notes from Lainey Wilson. She had energy and connected with the song. I am liking her as the country representative a little more than Christina. Michael said you are good and kind and sweet. Gwen said you have so much skill at such a young age, I am so happy for you. Reba said have you had a good time doing The Voice? You're fun, you're a breath of fresh air. 

Team Snoop: Austyns Stancil sang Adore by Prince-- Oh my gosh, he is so so good! He said he wanted to do Prince justice and he did. The coaches are all on their feet. Gwen said you're so talented, wow, no one can do that. I am jealous but proud of you. Michael said I am pushing my steal button, I love you man. That was awesome. Snoop said, proud of you nephew, I know it's your voice when you sing that, you can make records. 

Team Reba: Lauren Michael Sellers sang I Am Not Okay-- I thought this was a great song for Lauren, I did not like it as much as some of her other performances, and it seems as though Reba is set on moving her to the live shows. Snoop said you just keep growing, you've become a real superstar. Gwen said it felt like you wrote this song and this was your story. Reba said you deliver a message so well. You're a treasure. 

Team Snoop: Mikaela Ayira sang Love by Keyshia Cole-- Wow! She is amazing! I cannot even believe her voice at her age. That performance was just flawless and inspired. Reba said that was gorgeous. Gwen said Snoop helped you find your lane, you really shined tonight. Michael said to watch your growth, you were perfect.  Snoop said you need to be making real records. 

Team Reba: Danny Joseph sang I Heard it Through the Grapevine by Marvin Gaye-- He has just incredible musicality. I agree with Lainey, you can tell that he has played tons of shows and deserves to be here. Almost all the coaches were on their feet. Gwen said she's a fan. Snoop said you deserve to move forward. Michael said you've earned your place man. Reba said you've earned your place on the show and I was really proud of you tonight. 

Team Snoop: Jeremy Beloate sang The Impossible Dream-- His voice is incredible, he belongs on Broadway right now. What a stunning performance, he had me in tears. Michael said you are a bad man. Gwen said you are such an amazing singer. Reba said I have not been that touched listening to anyone until you. I could see you on Broadway and I wanna come see you when you're there. Snoop said I am thankful to have you on my team. 

Reba chose Adam and Danny to move forward. 

I think I would have picked Edward and Danny, but I do like Adam. 

Snoop chose Jeremy and Christina to move forward. 

I would have chose Jeremy and either Austyns, Aliyah, or Mikaela. I just honestly did not think it was Christina's night. I am a huge fan of hers too. 

The Voice Season 26: One Last Time or Win the Knockout

Team Gwen:

Felsmere sang Son of a Preacher Man by Dusty Springfield-- I loved Felsmere's performance, that song was soulful and perfect for her. 

Gabrielle Zabosky sang Used to be Young by Miley Cyrus-- This performance was so heartfelt. I felt that Gabrielle personally connected to the song. She talked about her story and how she and her family went through some tough times. 

Kaye Sibal sang One Last Time by Ariana Grande-- I actually loved this performance on her. What a great song choice and so convincing. 

Michael said Kaye what an amazing song. He loved Gabrielle's vocal and would choose her.  Snoop liked how Felsmere interpretted the song, and said Gabrielle gave him chills. He said Kay was heartwarming. 

Team Reba: 

Katie O sang Turn on the Radio by Reba-- and moved on! Frankie Torres and Kendall Eugene became cannon fodder which was sad because both of them were great singers. 

Team Buble: 

Edward Preble sang Send in the Clowns by Frank Sinatra-- What a talent! Oh my goodness, he's the real deal. 

J Paul sang Kiss from a Rose by Seal-- J Paul did his own interpretation of the song and I felt like it was beautiful. 

Shye sang The One That Got Away by Katy Perry-- She has a beautiful voice, like Tracy Chapman. 

Snoop said Shye so much believability in your performance. J Paul, you made that song your own. Edward I felt like I closed my eyes and Frank Sinatra was on stage. Reba said Edward you've fascinated me since the beginning, you're a mature voice. Gwen felt J Paul won the knockout. Shye rich, tender, special voice, no one will sound like you. J Paul you have no boundaries, that song was your truth. Edward we stand on the shoulders of our heroes. You're a good soul. It's a pleasure to have beautiful talent here. Michael chose Shye! And Reba stole Edward! 

The Voice Season 26: I Lose Control with these Battles

Team Reba: Adam Bohanan vs. Kevin James Graham singing I Lose Control by Teddy Swims-- These two guys were one chair turns for Reba. It's pretty amazing how great they are. Adam has a powerful voice, and I loved the way Kevin made this his own song. Gwen likes both of them but thinks Adam won the battle. Michael would choose Kevin but thinks Reba should go with Adam. Snoop won't choose. Reba chose Adam. 

Team Snoop: ChrisDeo and MisterMoon sang Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow by Carole King-- I need to be honest, I was not crazy about either, but I'd go with ChrisDeo. Gwen and Reba agreed with choosing ChrisDeo, and so that's who Snoop choose as well. 

Team Michael: Edward Preble vs. Mark Shiiba sang What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong-- I think Edward and Mark are both great choices. They are both trying to do something that is different. Edward is a lover of standards and wants to carry forward that genre. Mark is a character singer, I've never heard anyone like him, and sometimes I dig it, and sometimes it's a bit much. Reba said she would go with Mark. Snoop said Mark would be a challenging pick. Gwen said she is mesmerized by Edward. Michael picked Edward. I am surprised no one stole Mark. 

Montaged Battles... 

Team Buble: Torion Sellers vs. Jeremy Beloate singing Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars. Michael chose Jeremy. 

Team Snoop: Suede Lacy vs. Torre Blake singing What I'd Do for Love by Bobby Caldwell. Snoop chose Torre 

Team Gwen: Frankie Torres vs. Gabrielle Zabosky singing Never Tear Us Apart by INXS-- This is one of my favorite performances this season thus far. I love this song, and both ladies sounded amazing. There is no competition where both of these ladies don't move forward. Gabrielle is a powerful singer, but Frankie is also impactful and held her own. The arrangement was gorgeous and showed off both of them. Michael called Frankie brave. Gabrielle said you gave Frankie that space between the notes. Snoop liked how they did not try to outdo each other. Reba loved Frankie's tone and Gabrielle's high notes and would go with Gabrielle. Gwen chose Gabrielle and at the last minute Reba stole Frankie.

Georgia Starnes sang Too Good at Goodbye by Sam Smith-- Georgia has a unique sound, I don't expect that voice out of that body. She is a four chair turn. Michael complimented her control and her tone. Snoop loved her stage presence. She ended up picking Team Snoop. 

Edward Preble sang Luck be a Lady by Frank Sinatra-- One of my absolute faves so far. Edward is a true talent and we need people like him and Michael to ensure that this genre of music lives on. Snoop turned almost immediately. I love how his musical taste is so eclectic. Michael spoke about how much he loves jazz as a genre and works hard to protect it which is why he took so long to turn. Edward chose Michael. 

Creigh Reipe sang Beautiful Things by Benson Boone-- Did not love this. Reba and Gwen turned and he picked Reba. 

Adam Bohanan sang Home and he was a one chair turn with only Reba turning. 

Jeremy Beloate sang Heartbreak Anniversary by Giveon-- This performance was amazing. I loved Jeremy's vocal. He is someone I could see making it on Broadway. Michael said you could do, pop, R&B, crooner, or theater. You can do it all, and I can learn something from you. This was a well deserved four chair turn. Snoop talked about how some of his best records were written in pain. He said that is when we are at our most expressive. Jeremy chose Michael.

Jaylen Dunham sang Listen from Dreamgirls-- This kid is really talented and as Michael said, he will be formidable in 3, 5, and 10 years. He is only 14! No one turned, but Gwen decided to use her replay on him. I would like to see if she is able to grow him. 

Mistermoon sang Deeper Well by Kacey Musgraves-- hmmm interesting but not great. Reba and Snoop turned and after saying that they wanted Reba to turn, they picked Snoop. 

Frankie Torres sang Magic Man by Heart-- The coaches really liked this girl. I did too. I just didn't like the song. She is a rocker though through and through and I will look forward to seeing what songs she and her coach come up with. This was another four chair turn. Michael turned first.
