The Voice Season 13: Mercy Me, It's the Knockouts!

Team Blake-- Esera Tuaolo singing Superstar by Leon Russell vs. Adam Cunningham singing Either Way by Chris Stapleton-- Jen said Esera you captured the moment, Adam you captivated me, and that felt like your song. Miley said the simplicity of your performance Adam was beautiful, you made it about your voice. Adam said Adam you won for your fans and Esera you made everyone, a fan or not, tune into you. Both of these artists are so incredible, and both so worthy of moving forward. Jen is right, Adam is absolutely captivating. Esera has that big, beautiful, powerful voice!
Blake chose Esera and Adam stole Adam!

Team Jennifer-- Lucas Holliday singing Tell It Like It Is by Aaron Neville vs. Shi'Ann singing Who's Loving You by Michael Jackson-- Miley said she loves Lucas but Shi'Ann won the knockout. Adam said Lucas is a freak and he only likes freaks. Blake felt Shi'Ann's vocal was very controlled and didn't think Lucas was as much.
Jennifer chose Shi'Ann

Team Adam-- Addison Agen singing Beneath Your Beautiful by Labrinth vs. Dennis Drummond singing All Along the Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix-- I am a fan of Addison's voice, but that song did nothing for her. It just wasn't a great choice. Already Dennis is my choice, he has rasp and authenticity in his voice. He knows who he wants to be as an artist. His guitar playing was great. Blake felt vocally Addison took that. Jennifer said Addison your voice sings that song, and Dennis your presence onstage is amazing. Miley said don't stop singing Addison, and Dennis you're the whole package, sick guitar player. Adam said you play the guitar from the heart Dennis, you're really talented. Addison, when you sing it feels like everything is going to be okay.
Adam chose Addison

Team Miley-- Janice Freeman singing I'm Goin' Down by Mary J. Blige vs. Karli Webster singing Blue Bayou by Linda Ronstadt-- Karli's voice sounded stunning. She has such a beautiful and distinct tone to her voice, and she seemed connected to the song.  Janice sang her heart out on that song. What a raw performance! Adam said I'm in love with both of you, Janice, you tell a story. Blake said you are both at the top of your game in your respective lanes. Jennifer said you both held your own. Miley said she is proud to be their coach.
Miley chose Janice

Team Jennifer: Davon Fleming singing I Can Only Imagine by MercyMe vs. Eric Lyn singing What's Goin' On by Marvin Gaye-- Eric's rendition of the song is jazz perfection, it's very styled from top to bottom. It's pleasing and impressive to listen to. Davon brought me somewhere else, his voice was just heaven sent. Adam said Davon you make me feel bad about myself, and Eric you're like another creature, I feel like you could lift off and fly away. Blake said I felt like I needed to hide my drink cause I was at church, you transformed the room. Jen said I take my hat off to both of you, you're both extremely gifted.
Jennifer chose Davon

Team Miley: Ashland Craft singing Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi vs. Chloe Kohanski singing Landslide by Fleetwood Mac-- Ashland is singing one of my fave ever songs. Of course, she put a feminine spin on it. She made it fierce. Chloe's performance was a little sleepy, but I thought the song choice was powerful. Blake said Ashland that was another pitch perfect performance, and Chloe, you're definitely connected to that song.
Miley chose Ashland and Jennifer and Blake stole Chloe.... Chloe chose Blake

I am looking out for Adam Cunningham, Janice Freeman, Davon Fleming, and Ashland Craft ;-)

The Voice Season 13: The W.O.M.E.N. Dominate Tonight!

Team Adam: Brandon Brown vs. Jon Mero singing I Wish it Would Rain by The Temptations-- This battle felt so throwback to me, it felt like we were stepping back to Motown. Brandon sounded more the part but there is something so undeniable about Jon's experience and vocal skills. Blake said Brandon is a great singer and Jon, you're a once in a lifetime vocalist. Jen said it felt like a true battle. Miley said, Jon, I see the performer in you. Adam said Brandon embodied the song in that era. Jon, you have your own sound and experience under your belt.
Adam chose Jon

Team Blake: Red Marlow vs. Ryan Scripps singing Fishin' in the Dark by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band-- Both of them were fantastic! I think considering that they are opposite each other, they sound so good together. I gravitate to Red because he has a style that makes you sit up and pay attention. Jen liked Ryan's swag but said Red is her kinda guy all day long. Adam said you were both great, I think you guys are equal. Miley said Ryan you're where country music is now and Red you are Nashville.
Blake chose Red

Team Miley: Addison Agen vs. Karli Webster singing Girls Just Want to Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper-- Genuinely loved the arrangement; Addison is special and Karli has one of those pure voices. Blake said it sounded like two sad ladies that really wanted to have fun. Adam wished he was able to hear them more as individuals and hinted at stealing one of them. Jen said Addison got into a singing pose like she was gonna give her something and Karli has a classic, pure voice.
Miley chose Karli, and Adam and Jennifer Hudson are in it to steal Addison... Addison chose Adam

Team Blake: Anna Catherine DeHart vs. Kristi Hoopes singing Independence Day by Martina McBride-- Blake chose Anna

Team Jennifer: Alexandra Joyce vs. Jeremiah Miller singing One Call Away by Charlie Puth-- Jennifer chose Jeremiah

Team Adam: Emily Luther vs. Gary Carpentier singing Send my Love to Your New Lover by Adele-- Adam chose Emily

Team Jennifer-- Shi'Ann Jones vs. Stephan Marcellus singing Oh Darlin' by The Beatles-- Both are great! Miley is right, Shi'Ann's voice is ageless, she sounds like she has been doing this forever and yet she is only 15. With Stephan, there is so much possibility in terms of what he could do as an artist. Adam said they have unique and powerful qualities. Adam said he would pick Stephan. Blake said I've been doing this show for 100 years, Stephan, your voice cuts through, you have everyone's attention. Shi'Ann you could win this show.
Jen chose Shi'Ann and Miley stole Stephan

Team Adam: Anthony Alexander vs. Michael Kight singing I Feel It Coming by the Weeknd-- Anthony impressed me more because he took some risks. But maybe it was also impressive that Michael was as pitch perfect as he was. Blake thought it fit well for both of them. Anthony you have more range but you had some pitch issues. Michael you were at home on the stage. Jen said I love your voice Anthony. Miley said I didn't see an age difference, I might keep Anthony. Adam said this boils down to who I can see moving forward with tomorrow. Adam said Anthony is the raw singer. I am surprised no one stole Michael.
Adam chose Anthony

Team Miley: Janice Freeman vs. Katrina Ross singing W.O.M.A.N. by Etta James-- Wow, everyone was on their feet and rightfully so. That was a masterclass performance, their voices were incredible. Katrina clearly has no boundaries, her talent is just not measurable. Janice has so much class and control in her voice. Adam said these two women ripped the roof off the house. You're both phenomenal. Blake said Janice your voice is unforgettable, and Katrina if your voice wasn't so good, I'd send you to WWE. Jen said Katrina you made me so proud to be a woman, and Janice you have so much presence.
Miley choce Janice and Jen stole Katrina

Wow so many incredible contestants I'll be keeping up with...... I don't even think I can narrow it down.

The Voice Season 14: Invincible Performers on the Blinds Tonight!

Anthony Alexander sang Redbone by Childish Gambino-- I am so upset Blake didn't push! He deserved 4 chairs. Anthony's voice is so good. His falsetto is so good, and there was a lot of soul and style in his voice. Jenn saw shades of Prince. Miley said that they are not far off from each other. Adam said his vision is so right and he is so sincere. Adam said I want to help you improve your falsetto and I am so passionate about you.
Anthony chose Adam

Sophia Bollman sang Invincible by Kelly Clarkson-- Blake and Miley turned. Interesting! Where was J Hud on this? Blake said you have an incredible pop voice. Miley said there were some moments that weren't as strong but she has definite range. Sophia said Blake would be such a cool dad.
Sophia chose Miley

Karli Webster sang You're So Vain by Carly Simon-- Adam and Miley turned right away. She has a unique sound, and her voice is a little bit old school. I am curious as to what she will sound  like singing a more contemporary song. Adam said the spirit of Carly Simon was in your performance, I believe you could go all the way. Miley said she'd like to take 70s songs and make them current.
Karli chose Miley

Stephan Marcellus sang Take Me to Church by Hozier--This was a hot mess at the beginning, but J Hud turned around and saved the day!
Jenn chose Stephan

Emily Luther sang Summertime by Ella Fitzgerald-- Another should have been 4 chair turn! Where was Miley? She was so authentic and true to who she is. Her voice was so throwback. Adam said he was so mesmerized that he almost forgot to push. Jenn felt like she had a great balance of everything. Blake said he really got into that performance, and he wanted a martini. No one has anyone like you on their team.
Emily chose Adam

Look out for Anthony and Emily, they are gonna be major factors in this competition.
