Team Gwen: Road to the Playoffs

Machine Gun Kelly (MJK, as he is now known) is the advisor for Team Gwen.

Team Gwen:

Jose Luis sang No More Drama by Mary J Blige-- Jose was jamming with this song. That was soulful and raw. The coaches were all on their feet. Snoop said you made a Mary J. Blige song your song, I would push to get you to the final two. Reba said your vocals were absolutely incredible, I know people who have been in this business a long time who are not as charismatic as you.

Jake Tankersley sang The Painter by Cody Johnson-- Snoop said I'm a proud uncle. I don't see how Gwen could send you home. Reba loved his range on the song. I agree that it was so heartfelt. Gwen said you brought out the emotion and took my notes. I agree with Reba, he is authentic and sounds so country, the whole package.

Gabrielle Zabosky sang Listen to Your Heart by Roxette-- Michael said you've grown exponentially. Snoop enjoyed her dynamics. Gwen said you've grown so much and I am so proud of you. I agree with Reba, there were times where she looked panicked but then she would find herself. She sounded beautiful though.

Jan Dan sang Dust in the Wind by Kansas-- I think so far Jan Dan and Jose are my faves of the night. I love his voice and his song choices have been so spot on. He is someone who knows who he is as an artist. Gorgeous performance. Reba said I love the way you vocalize. Michael said with all these genres, what else do you have up your sleeve. Snoop loved how he put his spin on it. Gwen said you're just so cool.

Sydney Sterlace sang Betty by Taylor Swift-- Sydney has unreal intuition and musicality as an artist. Michael said I'm blown away by your voice. Reba said I love your range. Snoop said you've always been a favorite of mine. I'm going to come watch you at your shows. Gwen said she can bring it under the pressure.

Gwen chose Jan Dan and Sydney Sterlace to move forward. Everyone on Gwen's team was good, I feel like she could not have gone wrong with any of them, but I like who she chose, and I think I agree with her decision. I am a little sad to see Jose Luis go.

The Voice Season 26: Three Way Knockouts Stun!

Team Snoop:

Austyns Stancil sang Dance with my Father Again by Luther Vandross-- Heartfelt, real, and raw, Austyns felt every note and lyric. This was truly beautiful.

Christina Eagle sang My Church by Maren Morris-- She is just a spirited performer. I feel like she goes up on stage and leaves it all up there each time.

Jake Tankersley sang Going Going Gone by Luke Combs-- Jake has the ultimate cowboy voice. It is crazy how long he gets and is able to keep so much control in the vocal and the performance.

I loved them all and I do not think I could choose. Reba said Austyns was spirit filled. She liked how Christina had fun and filled the stage. She loved Jake's big, round voice. Michael talked about how great Snoop is at the voice. He said he wanted to be like Jake. He said Christina becomes a superhero on stage. Lastly, he said that He thought Austyns nailed it and would pick him. Snoop chose Austyns, saved Christina, and Gwen stole Jake.

Team Reba:

Adam Bohanan sang Colors by Black Pumas-- Such an underestimated and undervalued artist in this competition. He just literally has tons of soul.

Cassidy Lee sang Love Me Like a Man by Bonnie Raitt-- Love Cassidy's voice as well. She is so bluesy and this song was perfect for her.

Jaukeem Fortson sang God Only Knows by Dolly Parton-- Wow! Oh my gosh, this was so good. I really felt like I was at church. So young and so talented.

Snoop said first time I went to a bar, a club, and church right after. Gwen said wow thank you guys, I don't think I could choose. Snoop would go with Jaukeem, Michael would go with Adam. These three are all amazing in all honesty. They are all winners. Reba chose Adam. Michael stole Jaukeem.

Team Gwen:

Camryn Brooks sang Glitter in the Air by Pink-- This was heartfelt and it felt like a tribute to her mom who has always believed in her.

Deon Jones sang Nutbush City Limits by Tina Turner-- He was a total showman. Vocals weren't perfect, but the performance made up for it, raw emotion, he felt the song.

Jose Luis sang We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love) by Ariana Grande-- Amazing vocals, I'm not even going to lie. I feel like Ari would be proud of this performance. He can sing any notes, anything, and I did feel like he connected with the song this time.

Michael said Deon I could not stop watching you, Jose I would have to choose you, that voice cements you. Snoop said Jose, when you have the mic in your hand you turn into another person. The light is on you and you step right into it. Reba said, Deon you're the ultimate show dog. Gwen said Camryn you've come far. Deon to be able to sing, dance, and control the room is rare. Jose Luis, you're unbelievable, I'm blown away by you, you have an absolute gift. Gwen chose Jose Luis!

Team Buble:

Cameron Wright sang You're All I Need To Get By by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell-- I loved that, what an effortless performance.

Sloane Simon sang Can't Catch Me Now by Olivia Rodrigo-- What a stunning vocalist, she is a star.

Snoop said Cameron you chose a duet and sang it by yourself. Sloane you sounded like you were in a movie. Reba said Sloane your vocal was beautiful. Cameron you had great range. Gwen said Cameron your runs were so tasteful. Sloane, I am team Sloane. Michael said the show is The Voice and he couldn't bear to part with either one of them. He chose Cameron and saved Sloane.

The Voice Season 26: The Battles Bring Back the Summer Breeze

Team Reba: Deon Jones vs. Danny Joseph singing It's a Man's Man's World by James Brown-- That was amazing! I love Danny's passion. Deon has this gravel in his voice that is so amazing. Gwen thought this performance looked really well. She said both of them are so gifted. I would not be able to choose, I'd need both of them. Snoop said that song is deep and you both sang it with the same conviction. Reba chose Danny. Gwen stole Deon! Well done! He was so good.

Team Snoop: Brad Sample vs. Jake Tankersley singing Stuck on You by Lionel Ritchie-- Hmm interesting, I did not love this song choice for them. I'll let you be the judge, weigh in in the comments. I actually prefer Brad's voice. Reba said it was the perfect combo because of the differences in your voice. She liked both of them. Michael loved the song choice. He would lean towards Jake. Gwen thought it was a good battle and reminded Jake that she blocked Reba. Snoop picked Jake.

Team Gwen: Cozy Len vs. Felsmere singing Summer Breeze by Seals & Crofts-- Wow! I LOVE how they completely transformed this song and gave it this soulful sound. Both of them sound amazing. Gwen is bringing it this season as a coach. Reba thought it was the perfect duet. Snoop appreciated how Cozy left Felsmere take the lead. He would lean towards Felsmere cause Gwen can coach to who she is. Gwen said she needed to go with who she could take further at this moment. Gwen chose Felsmere.

Team Buble: Shye vs. Jamison Puckett singing Love Yourself by Justin Bieber-- Great song choice for them. I feel like Michael is such a lover of music and artistry. He is great at coaching. They are both so good and they're authentic, each of them is so special and different from what's out there. They are not just singers but artists. Gwen said it was so smooth, I just wanted to hear more. You both are equally gifted. Snoop and Reba could not decide. Michael said I want to thank you both. Michael chose Shye.

Team Reba: Creigh Riepe vs. Lauren Michael Sellers singing You Will Be Found by Sam Smith and Summer Walker-- I absolutely LOVED everything about this. They both deserve to continue. I did not know Creigh had all that. Lauren I knew was amazing. This was like a full take me to church moment. Gwen said she might go with Creigh. Snoop said I felt like I was at a show. I would go with Lauren because of her control. Reba said Lauren is ferocious and Creigh is so alive. Reba chose Lauren.

Team Gwen: Jose Luis vs. Austyns Stancil singing Lay Me Down by Sam Smith-- I thought that they were both great. The arrangement was a little awkward. I think I would go with Austyns if it was me. Jose reminds me of Asher Havon who won last season. Snoop said it felt like you all were together and you allowed each other to have that moment. Michael said you lit this place up. Reba said you will not lose picking either one of them. Gwen chose Jose. Someone is going to steal Austyns, I know it! Reba, Snoop, and Michael all went in to steal Austyns. Snoop said I wanted you the first time and didn't get you, I wanted you the second time, and I'm gonna get you. Michael said you just filled this place up with love. I can help you get to where you want to be.

I am looking forward to see who Austyns is going to choose. So far only one person from my Voice fantasy team has been eliminated and that was Brad.

And now Night 6.....

Katie O sang One Way Ticket by Leann Rimes-- The coaches liked this performance times four, but it wasn't a worthy four chair turn to me. She had pitch issues in several spots. She ended up choosing Team Reba.

Mikaela Ayira sang Human by Christina Perri-- Snoop and Reba turned. I enjoyed Mikaela's voice! I did not think she was only 16. Mature beyond her years, what was interesting was how well she seemed to relate to the song. Reba was impressed by her range. Snoop promised to help her grow. Mikaela chose Snoop.

Cassidy Lee sang You're No Good by Linda Ronstadt-- Cassidy is a returning artist. I actually liked her and I am surprised Michael was the only one who turned for her.

Torion Sellers sang There Goes My Baby by Usher-- I am actually surprised Torion also was only a one chair turn by Michael. I feel like his voice is soulful and warm.

Cozy Len sang I'll Make Love to You by Boyz II Men-- Not really a fan of his vocal. Reba and Gwen turned. The performance was just too old fashioned for me. I feel like I could hear this on Thursday night at a restaurant. Cozy chose Gwen.

Jose Luis sang Traitor by Olivia Rodrigo-- L O V E Jose! He is so good and he's a four chair turn. This performance was awesome, and I loved the song choice by him. This is one of my fave songs. Snoop said your voice is big, like movie big. Michael said I love your voice in Spanish and I never want to leave this show because of people like you. Gwen said you're incredible and you have great dynamics. Reba said you have a powerful voice that I love. Your voice is round, full, and touched my heart. Jose chose Team Gwen. He completed Gwen's Team.

Aleyah Khaylyn sang Love and War by Tamar Braxton-- One of my fave female voices of these auditions. She is amazing and I loved this song choice. She was so in touch with the meaning of the song. Michael, Snoop, and Reba turned. She is someone who should have been a four chair turn and wasn't. Aleyah chose Team Buble. She completed Michael's Team.

Alison Elena sang So Small by Carrie Underwood-- She completed Reba's team!

Suede Lacy sang Redbone by Childish Gambino-- He has a unique tone and voice and he completed Snoop's Team.
