The Voice Season 24: Team Gwen and Team Reba Give Their All

Team Reba 

Jordan Rainger sang Boondocks by Little Big Town-- Hmm I liked it but I didn't love it. She felt sharp at certain points for me. I liked the song choice but didn't love how she did it from a style standpoint. John said people who should be in the lives are people who have a strong sense of who they are. Reba said she was so proud. 

SUPER SAVE Ms Monet sang Until You Come Back to Me by Aretha Franklin-- Wow! I am so happy Reba invited Ms Monet back. This was my favorite performance. Her vocals were emotional and powerful. Loved it! Niall said you paid homage to Aretha but you also put some Ms Monet on it. Reba said to watch you walk on the stage, I am so proud to know you. 

Jacquie Roar sang The Chain by Fleetwood Mac-- This is one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs and this performance was just incredible. John said it was his favorite Jacquie performance so far, it was tasteful and he loved it. Gwen said you never seem to look nervous. You kept turning up the gears louder and louder. Reba said you went for it, and you nailed it. 

Noah Spencer sang Jolene by Ray LaMontagne-- That was an amazing performance. Niall said you're such a talent and your voice is so unique. Gwen said when you perform you are so available through the songs, you're a really great artist. Reba said you turned it up from zero to ten from rehearsals, congratulations. 

Ruby Leigh sang Long Long Time by Linda Ronstadt-- This was beautiful and I absolutely loved her rendition of this song.  Niall said you are one of one, that is the best version of that song I ever heard.  

Reba chose Jordan, Jacquie, and Ruby to move on to the Live Shows

I would have chosen Jacquie, Ruby, and Noah

Team Gwen

Stee sang Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon-- This wasn't my fave song choice but I think he is a polished and great performer. 

BIAS sang Where I Find God by Larry Fleet-- Wow! This guy is smart and he looks like a star. This was such a good song choice. What an awesome performance. Gwen said your originality is so pure. I am honored and proud to have you on my team. 

Rudi sang My All / Mi Todo by Mariah Carey-- She sounds amazing! I loved this song choice for her and that she did it in English and Spanish. She also looks gorgeous, like a star. Niall thought it was special. John thought her degree of difficulty was high. Gwen said you did a beautiful job and you could do any song. 

Tanner Massey sang Impossible by Shontelle-- This performance was emphatic and passionate. I totally loved everything about this and I think Tanner needs to be in the lives because people are going to love him. Reba said you are cute a button and your performance was really good. Niall said you remind me of me when I was younger and I am a big fan. Gwen said you have grown a lot before my eyes and I am super proud. 

SUPER SAVE Lennon Vanderdoes sang Falling Slowly-- This song was so perfect for Lennon; I don't know if it is enough for him to advance but I love his artistry. Niall said that was such a special moment, you're a proper artist. John said you are very consistent, you come out here and execute every time. Reba said I like to be able to identify the artists I listen to and you have that ability. 

Kara Tenae sang Rain by SWV-- This was a magical performance. I loved everything about it-- the song, the vocals, the dynamics, and the emotion. She was simply amazing. One of my fave performances of the night. Niall said you never over perform, that was my favorite performance of you. John said she sounded magical and looked like a star on stage; he said it made him nostalgic. Gwen said what you do is very hard, and you were in control of your voice. 

Gwen chose BIAS, Kara, and Tanner 

I agree with Gwen's choices although I still feel like Rudi should be in this competition, she was so good. 

The Voice Season 24: Unstoppable Performance in These Three Way Knockouts

Team Legend

Deejay Young singing Breakin' My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes) -- This was a bit of an obscure song choice. 

Lila Forde singing Fire and Rain by James Taylor -- I like this for her, even though it was a little sleepy, it displayed the nuances of her voice so well. 

Stee singing Pretty Wings by Maxwell-- This was such a beautiful performance. He is a singer who knows who he is. This was my fave performance. 

John chose Lila and Gwen stole Stee. 

Montaged: 

Team Gwen

BIAS singing You Should Probably Leave by Chris Stapleton beat Jason Arcilla  and Jenna Marquis 

Team Niall

Claudia B singing Don't Know Why by Nora Jones -- Boring song choice for her, she is super talented but undersold herself on this one. I love her more than the song. 

Huntley singing Dead or Alive by Jon Bon Jovi -- He is a favorite for me in this competition. I can definitely see him winning it all. His voice is just so clutch. 

Noah Spencer singing Where Rainbows Never Die by The Steeldrivers -- I am a huge Noah fan. He is unique, young, and talented. I am not super familiar with this song, I was hoping he'd do something more main stream, but he makes me a believer every time I hear him. 

Niall chose Huntley, saved Claudia B., and Reba stole Noah. John tried to steal Claudia and Noah! Wow this was quite the trio. 

Team Reba

Ms Monet singing Best of my Love-- I loved this performance, Ms Monet has such attitude and personality and really sold the song. She is also such a talented vocalist. 

Rachele Nguyen singing Die from a Broken Heart by Maddie & Tae-- She's experienced so much growth but the other two outshined her. 

Ruby Leigh singing Blue by Leann Rimes-- This performance was original country. There is something about Ruby that makes you feel like you're in a time capsule. 

Reba chose Ruby

Team Gwen 

Kara Tenae singing Leave Get Out by Jojo-- Loved her performance, she's the real deal from a soul perspective. 

Kristen Brown singing This One's for the Girls by Martina McBride-- Oh wow, this was good, she impressed me. 

CORii singing Ain't It Fun by Paramore-- Fun performance, I enjoy watching CORii perform. 

Gwen chose Kara and John stole Kristen 

Tuesday Episode

Team Legend

Brandon Montel singing Nobody Gets Me by SZA-- Brandon did have great presence, he was very connected to the song. 

Taylor Deneen singing Sweet Thing by Rufus and Chaka Kahn-- One of my fave songs. Wow, the coaches were all on their feet for Taylor. She was so good, in such good voice tonight. Loved her. She and Mac should move on is my opinion here. 

Mac Royals singing Lost Without You by Robin Thicke-- Mac was so good, that was so flipping impressive, the vocals, the look everything. I loved this, he is a star. 

John chose Mac and saved Taylor 

Montaged Team Reba: Reba chose Jordan Rainer over Caitlin Quisenberry and Elizabeth Evans

Team Niall

Alexa Wildish singing Believe by Cher-- I love how she put her own interpretation of the song. It reinvented the lyrics for me. 

Julia Roome singing Unstoppable by Sia-- Wow! At 13, this young lady is impressive. Her vocal for this was sick!!! 

Lennon Vanderdoes singing I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz-- Lennon has such a unique tone. You have to really use your breath well for this song and he absolutely did. 

Niall chose Alexa

The Voice Season 24: I Need a Favor-- Check out these battles.....

Team Gwen brought us BIAS and Jacquie Roar singing Need a Favor by Jelly Roll-- L O V E the song choice. They both brought it. BIAS stepped up big time, I had counted him out after his blind. Jacquie I expected it from. John said you both were singing; BIAS I couldn't take my eyes off you, I felt the star power, I'd choose you. Reba said Jacquie, your vocal is up there, BIAS you were bouncing around. Reba would go with Jacquie. Niall said Jacquie your voice was crazy and BIAS you were so fun to watch. Niall would go with BIAS. Gwen said BIAS I did not expect all that based on your blind audition, Jacquie your voice is incredible. Gwen chose BIAS. Reba stole Jacquie. 

Team Reba brought us Alison Albrecht and Angelina Nazarian singing You Say by Lauren Daigle-- Didn't love this; there were some awkward parts. Niall and Gwen were leaning towards Alison. John said he loved the song choice. Reba said she found the practice performance meaningful and said they reverted here somewhat. Reba chose Alison as the winner of the battle. 

Team Niall brought us Julia Roome and Olivia Eden singing Kiss Me by Sixpence None the Richer-- I did not love this performance, thus far I have not been impressed with Team Niall. Reba was inspired by their confidence. Gwen loved Julia's lower tone; Olivia your tone is rare and sounds so original. Niall said there is so many years ahead for both of you. He chose Julia. 

Team Legend brought us Stee and Willie Gomez singing Tacones Rojas by John Legend and Sebastian Yatra-- Loved the vibe of this performance. I am not a John Legend fan but this was tight, well executed, and strong vocals. I loved them both and they're multitalented. Reba loved it, she loved Stee's stage presence, and she said Willie can sing in two languages. Reba picked Willie. Niall said that's what it looks like when two four chair turns go head to head. Niall loved Stee's unique tone, and sees Willie as the whole package. Gwen said Stee, your voice is perfect, and Willie your voice and the dancing all at the same time. John said it's rare that I am so stumped, I'm still undecided. Stee your vocal was perfect, and Willie you executed the performance perfectly, it was airy and powerful at the same time like Gwen said. John picked Stee. I thought someone would pick Willie. 

Team Gwen brought Kristen Brown and Juliette Ojeda us singing That's the Way It Is by Celine Dion-- I would lean towards Juliette but I loved this performance in general. Niall said Juliette your tone is so pure; Kristen you have so many sides to your voice, dynamics. Reba said your voices blended so well, great harmonies. She couldn't pick one. Gwen said you both have a future in music. John leaned towards Kristen and Gwen chose Kristen. 

Team Reba brought us CORii and Ms Monet sang New Attitude by Anita Baker-- They kept raising the bar. That was so awesome. Niall said CORii, why did I not turn? This was different level; Ms Monet, wow! John said that was so great. CORii you were finding your footing at the beginning, once you found your way, your voice was magnificent. Ms Monet, you were consistently amazing. Reba said you could go on tour as a duet right now. CORii you really stepped up and Ms Monet, the way you conduct yourself, you're so professional. Niall and Gwen are going to steal CORii! CORii picked Gwen!
