Team Blake: Austin Allsup singing Breakdown by Tom Petty vs. Gabe Broussard singing It Will Rain by Bruno Mars-- All the coaches loved Gabe's control, but couldn't stop complimenting Austin on his grit and just how seasoned and professional he is, like he's been doing this his whole life. I feel like maybe, just maybe Gabe is doing this too soon, he should definitely come back if he's able.
Blake chose Austin
Team Miley: Darby Walker singing Shake It Off by Florence and the Machine vs. Maye Thomas singing Closer by Tegan and Sara-- I love Maye, wow, she impressed me. She is kind of like a Lady Gaga. Her voice is strong. I think I would give this knockout to her. Adam said Maye's performances were so well put together, and Darby you're so cute, sweet, and wonderful. Blake said this is as Miley as it gets. Blake said Maye had the more consistent vocal. Alicia said Darby's organic energy at 17 is awesome, and Maye I was riveted by you the whole time. Miley said Maye watching you is an experience, that was a home run, Darby, you did everything I asked, you nailed it.
Miley stunningly chose Darby
Team Adam: Brendan Fletcher singing Soulshine by The Allman Brothers vs. Nolan Neal singing Love is Your Name by Steven Tyler-- Miley couldn't decide but said she would go to a Nolan concert, and Brendan you're the type of voice I listen to back home. Adam said that both of them were world class performances and neither one of them deserves to go home. I liked both of them as well, and I definitely see how this is a tough decision for Adam.
Adam chose Brendan
Team Alicia: Sa'Rayah singing Ain't Nobody by Chaka Khan vs. Michael Sanchez Just the Two of Us by Bill Withers-- I can tell that Michael's home is the piano and his performance was so good and so natural, I loved it. Sa'Rayah just lit the place up. Adam said with Sa'Rayah the catwalk is the stage, and with Michael you are so much more dope than what you should be. Blake said Michael, I've been a fan of yours for such a long time, and Sa'Rayah, the notes you held out were incredible. Blake and Alicia went with Sa'Rayah and Miley and Adam went with Michael.
Alicia chose Sa'Rayah
Team Blake: Dana Harper singing You Give Me Something by James Morrison vs. Karlee Metzger singing Invincible by Kelly Clarkson-- I loved Dana, and I think she is really different. I loved Karlee too, but I wanted her to hit that huge note, and she messed up a little, it was a little shaky. Adam said you have to see this as a win; Dana, I love you, and I can't wait to see what songs you choose going forward.
Blake chose Dana
Team Miley-- Sophia Urista won over Josette Diaz
Team Miley: Aaron Gibson singing Die a Happy Man by Thomas Rhett vs. Josh Halverson singing Whiskey and You by Chris Stapleton-- Adam said Aaron I dig your voice, and Josh you bring me to another time. Blake said Aaron you have an edgy sounding voice, and Josh you are literally the chillest person I have ever met in my life, but yet you blaze your own path and are one of my favorite artists. Alicia said Aaron thank you for being you, and Josh beat to your own drum. Miley said Aaron you have grown so much, and Josh you believed every word. I loved both of these guys, not one of them deserves to go home. They are unbelievable. I love Aaron's sound, and I love Josh's story, his vibe. Both of them come across as such genuine and authentic artists to me.
Miley chose Aaron and Alicia stole Josh

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 Alicia: Belle Jewell vs. Halle Tomlinson singing Benny & The Jets by Elton John, Alicia chose Belle

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..

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
Adam chose Nolan

The Voice Season 11: The Amazing Blinds Continue
Aaron Gibson sang Losing My Religion by REM-- Miley, Alicia, and Blake turned. Adam held off. Aaron had a really interesting voice. I thought it was a strong song choice for him. Miley sells herself by saying that she and Aaron have a similar tone.
Aaron chose Miley
Simone Gundy sang I Who Have Nothing-- Adam and Miley turned right away. I loved the strength in Simone's voice. She is a little rough around the edges but I feel like she is someone who could definitely improve with some find training. Adam walked over and pressed Alicia and Blake's buttons to make sure that they worked. Miley said she felt like she was at Simone's show.
Simone chose Adam
Samantha Landrum sang Man I Feel Like a Woman by Shania Twain-- I knew no one was going to turn, the vocal was not strong enough.
Josh Gallagher sang Stay a Little Longer by Brothers Osborne-- I liked Josh's voice very much! The song choice was fun and he kept up with it. Blake and Alicia turned. Miley regretted not turning and Adam said he is still recovering from others who sing country going to Blake's team. Alicia said she doesn't feel that music has a genre. Blake said the most fun for him is helping new country artists coming along. Blake said I was born a country artist and I wanna die that way. Alicia said think outside the box and try something different.
Josh chose Blake
Gabriel Violett sang Treat You Better by Shawn Mendes-- Alicia turned and Blake turned at the very end. I didn't love it. His voice didn't seem right for the song.
Gabriel chose Alicia
Michael Sanchez sang Use Me by Bill Withers-- He seemed really into his performance. I liked his energy a lot. The coaches were all shocked that that voice came out of him. Incredible! That was just totally unexpected. He is going to do well.
Alicia chose Michael
Darby Walker sang Stand by Me by Florence and the Machine-- I loved her vocal range. I loved the breath and the rasp in her voice, her high notes are amazing. Miley turned first, and then Alicia, followed by Blake. Darby told Alicia that No One was her song. Alicia said she has a gorgeous tone and her voice is powerful. Blake says he heard the indi-pop and the country aspect of her voice. She says she likes old music and Adam says, Blake is old!
Darby chose Miley
Austin Allsup sang Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones-- This guy has an unreal story. I love his song choice, one of my faves. Blake was the only one turned. Blake remembered him from 11 years ago and where he was. Alicia said your voice is really powerful. Alicia and Adam did a version of that song together and Austin said he had been listening to it.
Christian Fermin and Preston James both went to Team Blake
Khaliya Kimberlie sang Dibs by Kelsea Ballerini -- Blake and Miley both turned at the same time. Khaliya has so many unique things about her personally and it's crazy that she is only 16 and has that kind of voice. Miley talked a mile a minute. Blake tried to relate to the country artist in Khaliya but it wasn't enough for the Miley machine.
Khaliya chose Miley
Cooper Bascom sang I'm Gonna Be 500 Miles by the Proclaimers-- No one turned for Cooper. I felt like this wasn't the right arrangement for this song. Hopefully he will come back.
Halle Tomlinson sang New York State of Mind-- Adam turned almost immediately, followed by Alicia. I love her voice, incredible sound, her tone is sulty, very jazz like. This deserves four chairs. Where were Miley and Blake. Alicia said your voice has a signature to it and she loved how effortless it was. Adam thought she had a gorgeous voice with a lot of potential.
Halle chose Alicia
Nolan Neal sang Tiny Dancer by Elton John-- Blake and Adam both turned and Blake recognized him. Miley turned and last Alicia. He went from no chairs to a 4 chair turn! Wow, I remember Nolan, he's had quite the life so far. This was ten times better than his performance from last year. I loved this! Adam said welcome home and he thinks he is gonna win this season. Miley compared Nolan's voice to her dad's. Alicia said you're a classic all time voice. Blake said you're already an accomplished vocalist and you need to be on a team with people who are accomplished at winning. We can win this.
Nolan chose Adam
Aaron chose Miley

Tamar Davis sang Chain of Fools by Aretha Franklin-- Wow this girl was in the first version of Destiny's Child, and she has sung for Prince and knows Tyler Perry! What?! She has a fierce and strong voice. Christina turned right away, and although this is practically a lock Blake turned at the end just to make it interesting. Christina will help her to step out of the background and...
Tamar chose Christina
Jessica Crosby sang Viva La Vida by Coldplay-- I liked this performance, and the creativity in the arrangement, but there were some breath and pitch issues. Everyone turned except Blake, and in the end although Jessica talked about listening to Maroon 5, she went with someone else.
Jessica chose Pharrell
Justin Whisnant sang Ain't Worth the Whiskey by Cole Swindell-- Adam turned immediately.... besides being extremely good looking Justin has a great voice. Blake finally turned and Adam is so irritated, I can tell. This guy is authentic country. Blake said he has style, and Adam said unlike you. Adam said I thought you were ridiculously good, and I wanted to turn around and let you know that. I care about great talent and that's what you are. Adam was like..... this is Blake, I don't know where you're from in Oklahoma..... Justin.... that's okay, I still choose you Blake!
Justin chose Blake
Jackie Lipson X's and O's by Elle King-- No one turned but Christina told her to come back and try a different song.
Daniel Passino sang Marvin Gaye by Charlie Puth-- Daniel has a smooth and jazzy voice, his voice lends itself well to this song. Christina turned right away and liked what she was hearing. Blake made it in under the radar. Blake said I am a fan, I love your falsetto, and I am a fan of New Boston where you're from.
Daniel chose Christina
Owen Danoff sang Don't Think Twice It's All Right by Bob Dylan-- Adam, Christina, and Pharrell all turned at the beginning. He has an old school voice. He's so unique, I could see him going far in this competition. Blake joins them at the end to complete the 4 chair turn. Christina said it seems like you feel music with your heart. Adam said what I love is what you love. Blake said to give them being partners a chance. And Pharrell told him to feel his decision.
Owen chose Adam
Maya Smith sang Do Right Woman, Do Right Man by Aretha Franklin-- Her voice was thick, and beautiful. Christina and Pharrell turned, she gave it a good fight saying that she can only imagine all the song she can give her to sing.
Maya chose Pharrell
Nolan Neal sang Drive by Incubus-- Nolan has a heck of a story, and all the coaches admitted that they were crazy for not turning around. This guy must come back and sing Aerosmith.
Brittney Lawrence sang Warrior by Demi Lovato-- Christina turned right away, and Blake waited til the last minute to push.. I actually liked how understated and controlled the whole performance was. Adam said Blake has been doing this sneaky thing and waiting to push his button, and I just thought you should know because it's important you have a coach who is forthcoming. Christina loved the contrast of loud and soft and the control in her voice. Surprisingly...
Brittney chose Blake
Lightning Rounds!
Teresa Guidry sang Girl Crush by Little Big Town and chose Blake
Chelsea Gann sang Wild Angels by Martina McBride and chose Team Christina
Lily Green sang Songbird by Fleetwood Mac and chose Team Adam
Matt Tedder sang I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man by Muddy Waters-- Adam was the only turn which I am amazed about because Matt to me is an old soul with crazy good musical talent. Adam said he is a tremendous slide guitar player with a soulful voice. Adam added that he is overjoyed to have him on his team. Pharrell said he felt like Matt comes from a completely different era.
Adam chose Matt
Joe Maye sang I Put a Spell on You by Screamin Jay Hawkins-- Christina turned and then Blake once again came in at the end. Blake said you sang that song like you were pissed. Joe sang Word Up! last season and no one turned. This was redemption for him, and it was a much better song choice. He has lots of soul in his voice, he will need to work on controlling it. Christina made her argument and then Blake said pick someone who can win, pick me. Christina then decided to get up on stage and sing Joe's blind audition song as a duet.
Joe chose Christina
