The Voice: Season 11 The Battles Continue!

Team Adam: Johnny Rez vs. Nolan Neal singing Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel-- I liked both guys, I thought the song limited them a little bit. I almost feel like it was a disservice to how talented they really are. Blake would go with Johnny, and Alicia would go with Nolan. Johnny was more of a surprise to me but both of them are great. Adam said he had to go with who he was more connected with.
Adam chose Nolan

Team Miley: Darby Walker vs. Karlee Metzger singing Brand New Key by Melanie-- I literally feel like that song did NOTHING for either one of them. I didn't like the song choice at all. Adam said it was very Miley. Blake said Darby is so entertaining; Karlee had the edge vocally. Alicia was impressed the whole time. Miley said she couldn't decide.
Miley chose Darby ......... wow, Blake did the right thing! Karlee had the better vocal, and he stole Karlee

Team Blake: Blaine Long vs. Josh Gallagher singing Stranger in my House by Ronnie Milsap-- Josh, in my opinion is definitely the better performer. Alicia said she would go with Blaine because there was something special in his voice. Miley said she would go with Josh. Adam said that Josh reads like a contemporary country singer. Adam would go with Josh because he felt there is more to discover with him despite thinking that Blaine is talented.
Blake chose Josh

Lightning Rounds!

Team Blake: Dana Harper vs. Tarra Layne singing Alive by Sia, Blake chose Dana
Team Alicia: Belle Jewell vs. Halle Tomlinson singing Benny & The Jets by Elton John, Alicia chose Belle
Team Adan: Simone vs. J Soul, Adam chose Simone

Team Alicia: Josh Halverson vs. Kylie Rothfield singing House of the Rising Sun by The Animals-- I loved both of them, I felt like they both stepped up big time. Miley said she would go with Josh.. Adam said this is one of the hardest songs to sing and he loves Josh's vibe, but said he would pick Kylie. Blake joked that Josh should be in a western.
Alicia chose Kylie and Miley stole Josh

Team Blake: Christian Fermin vs. Gabe Broussard singing The Reason by Hoobastank-- It's definitely crazy that Gabe is only 15. Alicia said there was a great richness in Gabe's voice, she liked the rifts in Christian's voice. Miley said it still blows her mind that Gabe is only 15. Blake likes both of them but recognizes he has to make a choice.
Blake chose Gabe

Team Miley: Aaron Gibson vs. Sa'Rayah singing I'll Take Care of You by Bobby Bland-- I feel like this was the best battle of the night. I figured it out! Aaron Gibson sounds like Dave Matthews! They were both beyond amazing and it was out of both of their comfort zones but they conquered this. I loved the chemistry between them. Blake said Sa'Rayah you were born to sing that song, and Aaron every coach loves your voice. Alicia said she is proud both of them are here singing. Miley said Sa'Rayah I feel like I have given you enough to help you move forward, and Aaron you need me to help you spread your wings a little bit more.
Miley chose Aaron and Blake and Alicia want to steal Sa'Rayah-- Sa'Rayah said I love you too Blake after he said it to her. Alicia said two words and Sa'Rayah was in tears. Needless to say, Sa'Rayah chose Alicia

The Voice Season 11: The Blinds Come to a Close

Whitney and Shannon sang Landslide by Fleetwood Mac-- Four chair turn, that was pretty unreal, the harmonies were fierce. Adam said you can't teach harmonizing like that. Blake said the only other time this was successful was on his team with The Swon Brothers. Alicia said the world needs the two of you. Miley tried to sell herself on their matching musical styles. Alicia said the two of them transcend genre.
Whitney and Shannon chose Alicia

Johnny Rez sang Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls-- Adam and Blake waited til the end to turn. Adam said he wanted to help Johnny refine his falsetto. Johnny said he loves country, but he covers Maroon 5 a lot. Blake was calling for and saying Johnny come home.
Johnny chose Adam

Maye Thomas sang Roses by The Chainsmokers-- Interesting, Adam and Miley turned. Blake said this sounds like a Miley thing. Adam said a voice like yours relies on being different. I will be truthful with you as your coach. Miley felt motivated to move with her. I think she definitely has a different style about her, I am just not sure if I was feeling her, she is going to have to convince me in the next round.
Maye chose Miley

Johnny Hayes sang Traveller-- no one turned

Courtney Harrell sang Let it Be by James Bay-- Blake said he has mad respect for her voice. Alicia understands why she put herself aside for so long but understands why. I loved her voice, it was so strong and I can see her true artistry. She mentioned that she believed that Blake truly believes in her.
Courtney chose Blake

Tara Layne went to Team Blake
Charity Bowden went to Team Mylie
J Soul went to Team Adam
Belle Jewel went to Team Alicia

Kylie Rothfield sang Wherever I Go by One Republic-- Blake and Alicia turned at the last minute. I liked this girl, thought that she sounded a little bit different, I definitely listen for that. Adam said he is sorry he didn't turn. Alicia said Kylie had a unique, beautiful voice, and she wanted her to fill her last spot on her team.
Kylie chose Alicia

Natasha Bure sang I Can't Help Falling in Love with You by Elvis Presley-- Candace Cameron of Full House is her mom. Natasha had a unique and breathy voice. I loved what she did with that song. It was original and you can tell Natasha is thoughtful when it comes to music. Surprisingly Adam was the only one to turn. He said that all Natasha needs is some confidence.
Adam chose Natasha

Blaine Long sang Have a Little Faith in Me-- Miley and Blake both turned, followed by Adam. Blaine surprised me, his performance was so strong. Miley loved his simplicity. Blaine said he writes all his own songs, and Blake said he may not be the best singer but he has written some  good songs over the years. Adam said it would be a fairy tale ending for him if he filled the last spot on his team.
Blaine chose Blake

Nicholas Ray sang I've Got the Music in Me-- No one turned.

Ponciano Sedane sang Home by Phillip Phillips-- Adam and Miley both turned. This guy is excellent, and the song clearly means something to him, he is feeling it. Blake said I am sorry my button is deactivated which means you're stuck with one of these two. Adam said you're spectacular and soulful at the root of who you are. Miley said their similarities don't matter at the end of the day because she's there to help him grow.
Ponciano chose Adam

Josette Diaz sang Love Yourself by Justin Bieber-- This young lady was really good. She deserved 4 chairs to be honest but that couldn't happen because Miley was the only person left. Josette got tons of great comments from the all the coaches.
Miley chose Josette
