Team Reba: Jacquie Roar sang More Than a Feeling by Boston-- This really showed the range in her voice and the fact that she is a total rocker. Gwen said Jacquie keeps getting better and better. I loved this song for her, very different but then when she started singing, so in her style.
Team Legend: Lila Forde sang The Weight by Bob Dylan-- Didn't love this performance to be honest. Gwen complimented her confidence. John said he loves her individuality and musicality.
Team Niall: Mara Justine sang Turning Tables by Adele-- This is one of my fave Adele songs. I loved how soulful she made this but she also made it her own. John said it was so striking and so beautiful, we saw a different side of your voice today. Niall said Mara I am so proud of you, the growth you have shown is insane. I hope they don't forget this moment because it was so big, you're an incredible singer and an incredible person.
Team Niall: Huntley sang Another Love by Tom Odell-- Didn't love this one either. Gwen said I like how you're so effortless and you feel like you come from a different time.
Team Reba: Ruby Leigh sang Suspicious Minds by Elvis Presley-- One of the better performances of the night. Ruby does have such a maturity for her age, it's hard to believe. This was a good song choice for her. John said you are so remarkable, your voice has so much maturity. Reba said you have amazed me from the first time you got on the stage.
Team Reba: Jacquie Roar sang Knights in White Satin by The Moody Blues-- LOVE! Wow! What an amazing song choice. She killed this as well. Gwen said you must run on a tread mill all day to get that right in terms of the breath. That was beautiful. Reba said you are a force of nature, that was so pretty, it was a wonderful performance.
Team Legend: Lila Forde sang Across the Universe by The Beatles-- I thought this was a beautiful choice for her. Much better than her first round. Niall said you're so impressive and so true to yourself. John called her performance cinematic.
Team Niall: Mara Justine sang Piece of my Heart by Janis Joplin-- I feel like this song is overdone sometimes. I preferred her first performance here. This was good, she didn't sing bad per say, it just wasn't my taste. The coaches thought this was better than her first performance, I disagree.
Team Reba: Ruby Leigh sang Desperado by The Eagles-- Smart song choice, she sounded stunning but didn't overdo it. Wow! Gwen said you just channel so well the intention of the song. Reba said what a great song selection, not many people can do what you do,
Team Niall: Huntley sang Higher by Creed-- Great song choice for him! I thought once again his voice was a little lost in the arrangement but this is such a big song. John said I feel like when I watch you, I am watching someone who is already playing arenas. I am so shocked when you say you can't believe you're here doing this. Niall said that was euphoric.
Team Reba: Ruby Leigh sand Take Me Home by John Denver-- Great fan selection on that song. Ruby sounded great. I love how she was all her own. John said you have been consistent and I loved those high notes today, clear as a bell, so beautiful. Reba said you did a great job, you did everything to perfection.
Team Gwen: BIAS sang God Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts-- BIAS sounded so strong tonight and in touch with the vocal. It was nice to hear him be passionate with the lyrics and tender. Niall thought it was mature and well executed, he felt it was emotional, and he is consistent. Gwen said there is something so authentic about you, your voice is so gorgeous and it's just incredible to get to know you.
Team Reba: Jacquie Roar sang Alive by Sia (Chris Daughtry version)-- Such an awesome choice for her. I literally want her to sing that with Chris Daughtry. John said you knocked that out of the park. Reba said I know your kids are so proud of you, I know I am.
Team Reba: Jordan Rainer sang Ol' Red by Blake Shelton-- Something I really appreciate about Jordan is her performance quality. This was her best performance to date in my opinion. I just loved her performance quality and how she showed so much personality. Gwen said that was crazy, I could never imagine a female doing that song and it was my favorite performance of you. Reba said you did all of America proud tonight. You handled it like a pro.
Team Niall: Huntley sang Way Down We Go by Kaleo-- Such a perfect song for Huntley! John mentioned it, but I was feeling his Thor vibes up there. I feel like Huntley has been to this "painful" place in his life so when he sings these lyrics, he's coming from that place. Loved this. John said I feel like I am really seeing you as an artist up there. Niall said you're incredible dude, we both love classic rock and southern rock. I think this was a perfect song for you to do.
Team Niall: Mara Justine sang Parachute by Chris Stapleton-- This song choice is a little curious for me, but I suppose it was chosen based on the fact that it is soulful and sultry and that is Mara. I liked her interpretation and I hope she sticks around cause she is a talented vocalist. She had that big note! John said you're hitting notes I've never heard before. I think this was your best vocal performance. Niall said that is crazy, it's a different side to you, the confidence is unbelievable.
Team Legend: Mac Royals sang Love TKO by Teddy Pendergrass-- I don't know if I would have chosen that song but he made it sound so good. I think he just has star quality and has earned a spot in the finals. Reba said what a journey, you have just soared. John said he sings like a pro, he sings like a star, he sings like a superstar.
Team Niall: Nini Iris sang No Time to Die by Billie Eilish-- Wow!! That may have been the performance of the night. That was emotional and moving. Gwen said I'm blown away, you're so gifted, and tasteful with the way you build the songs. Niall said your ability to know who you are as an artist, Billie sings that song completely different. He urged America not to get complacent and to vote for Nini.
Team Legend: Lila Forde sang River by Joni Mitchell-- Amazing rendition, she was like Joni, but all her own. Reba said you have the ability to touch hearts so deep and you do that. John said you performance had so much wisdom, heart, integrity, and musicality; stunning.
Who is going home tomorrow?
My predictions-- Mara, Ruby, and Jordan, and I am sad about it.
Team Reba: Jacquie Roar sang Wildflowers and Wild Horses by Lainey Wilson-- Wow! Jacquie looks amazing and sounds great. This is exactly what she should be doing. Niall said that's what comfortable looks like; we're getting to know you more and more. Gwen said you are incredible, you look beautiful tonight; you were tasteful with your dynamics. Reba said way to go, I am so proud of you.
Team Niall: Nini Iris sang Lovesong by The Cure-- Nini looks gorgeous too! She turned the song into an anthem, a declaration, and it was beautiful. John said your voice is so powerful, you have so much star power on stage and you did it again. Niall said the way you know who you are as an artist is impressive, I'm so proud of you.
Team Gwen: Kara Tenae sang Love by Keyshia Cole-- Shout out to the style department; they are making all these gorgeous women look glamorous! I loved Kara's song choice, and you could tell she is genuinely connected to the song. I felt the love. This is a real deal R&B performance. All four coaches were standing at the end. John said you nailed it, that was iconic; I loved it. Gwen said you are poised and confident and you, pure!
Team Gwen: Tanner Massey sang Thanks for the Memories by Fall Out Boy-- In theory I liked this song for him, but I don't know that the song did anything to showcase his voice in a strong way. Reba said I have always wanted you on my team. Gwen said she is so proud of him, you did such a good job.
Team Legend: Lila Forde sang Closer to Fine by The Indigo Girls-- Lila is one of those artists who unequivocally knows who she is. Like there is absolutely no question. The coaches once again all on their feet. Niall said, Lila Forde, I'm your biggest fan without a shadow of the doubt. Chance said in the video that you sing the lyrics as if you lived it and it happened to you. John said you brought us into your world, you're so special, I believe in you.
Team Reba: Ruby Leigh sang You Lie by Reba McEntire-- Ruby is just so young and it's incredible to me that she turns out such mature and poised performances. Niall said Ruby you are insane. Reba said Gwen and I are balling. I am so proud of you.
Team Niall: Huntley sang With a Little Help from my Friends by Joe Cocker-- I liked the song choice, I felt like the arrangement drowned him out at points. Then there were other points where he was really big and I could hear him loud and clear. John said I feel like you're already a pro; your voice is so powerful. Niall said that was in a different league. Reba and the other coaches were on their feet.
Team Legend: Azan sang Ex Factor by Lauryn Hill-- I am a big fan of Azan and a big fan of Lauryn Hill. I was stoked that Miss Hill cleared that song. I wanted to hear more passion from her, like I really wanted her to push the vocal and she was just behind it. Well, once again, the coaches are on their feet. I absolutely LOVE that song. Gwen said I am so addicted to the original and for you to move me that way is a big deal. John said I felt everything, your passion and emotion, your voice is golden because it has so much nuance to it.
Team Reba: Jordan Rainer sang There's a Stranger in my House by Ronnie Milsap-- Loved Chance's comment about how she is so eccentric and her dress doesn't match her voice. Niall said another fantastic performance. Reba said you're a star, you conduct yourself on stage and demand attention.
Team Niall: Mara Justine sang Lose Control by Teddy Swims-- This was one of the most real and confident performances of the night. Mara sounded great, and I had never heard the song before but it was super catchy. Loved it. Another incredible performance as Carson said. Niall said Mara that was insane, best you've done it. The confidence you have gained getting to the lives is everything.
Team Legend: Mac Royals sang I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt-- That was a "star studded" performance. The coaches were on their feet. I felt like he felt that song, there was an emotional awareness. I loved how by the end, he was totally comfortable and made the song his own. However, he also maintained the integrity of the song by keeping the melody intact. John said you are elite talent. This man needs a record deal and this man needs to win The Voice, I am so proud of you.
Team Gwen: BIAS sang God's Gonna Cut You Down by Johnny Cash-- This guy is so original. I love him. He has to be a finalist on this show. That was such an inspired performance. Reba said that's why I wanted you on my team, my gosh you're good. Gwen said it's like a dream that you're on my team, I am so excited. You are the purest person I have ever met.
Who could be going home? My bottom three-- Jordan, Tanner, and Nini... I'd be sorry to see Tanner go, I think he is great, I think it was the wrong sonng choice for him. Azan is on the bubble along with Huntley. These two frontrunners gave lackluster performances. Azan's performance lacked passion and Huntley's voice was drowned out by an over productive arrangement at time.
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.

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.
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

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.

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.
Team Reba brought us Al Boogie and Ruby Leigh singing Jolene by Dolly Parton-- I really wish both could move forward, but I have a feeling it's just going to be Ruby. Al was so good though and should be so proud of who he is as an artist which is authentically country. Niall said Al your tone is infectious, Ruby your tone is so beautiful. Gwen said your presence is not that of a teenager Ruby, Al your stage presence is really strong. John said you both were compelling, Al you killed it man. Ruby I love that cry in your voice, you feel so in possession of your identity as an artist. Reba thought the performance showed their personality as artists. Reba chose Ruby.
Team Gwen brought us Joslynn Rose and Rudi singing My Immortal by Evanescence-- Amy Lee is one of my faves so hearing this was amazing. Joslynn was a little pitchy. I appreciated Rudi's soulful understated power. John liked how Josslyn started, and he liked how Rudi came into her own. He chose Rudi. Reba said she loved when Josslyn opened her eyes, she loved Rudi's stage presence and voice. Niall said Rudi's performance was flawless, such an impressive sing. Josslyn the way you started out was brilliant, you're just poised. Gwen said this is a tough song to sing. She appreciated both ladies and said there isn't really a winner. However she picked Rudi.
Team Niall brought us Reid Zingale and Noah Spencer singing Lego House by Ed Sheeran-- Oh my goodness, another song I'm obsessed with. Reid you can tell is a seasoned performer, but for me my pick would be Noah. I am obsessed with his voice, his tone is just so cool. John said he would lean towards Noah. Niall said Reid your tone made me turn. Noah you're a touch closed off but there's something so intriguing, it's like I want to hear more. Niall picked Noah.
Team Legend brought us Azan and Taylor Deneen singing Do It by Chloe x Halle-- Wow!!! For me, Azan won that. She sold the song, I loved her soulfulness. To me, her voice was Beyonce before Beyonce became too big. Reba said their talent is off the charts. Niall said, Taylor you were brilliant, Azan your stage presence was spectacular; I'd lean to Azan. Gwen said Azan you command more attention. I enjoyed every minute, thank you. John said Azan you're so magnetic, and Taylor you came through and were really confident. John chose Taylor. Niall and Reba are trying to steal Azan. Azan chose Niall.
Team Niall brought us Alexa Wildish and LVNDR singing Everything I Wanted by Billie Eilish-- Both ladies were so good, but for me there was something magical about Alexa. Gwen said LVNDR you're so stylized you stand out. Alexa you are so classic and so powerful. John said that was so beautiful, LVNDR you were influenced by Billie, Alexa there was something arresting about your voice. I'd pick Alexa. Reba said LVNDR you have that airy, soft, and tender voice. Alexa I love how you looked at the audience and conveyed how you're feeling. I'd pick Alexa. Niall said neither of you deserve to go home. I'm going with my gut feeling. Niall chose Alexa.
Montaged performance: Team Gwen: Jenna Marquis vs. Claire Heilig sang Flowers by Miley Cyrus. Gwen chose Jenna.
Team Legend brought us Elizabeth Evans and Kaylee Shimizu singing Traitor by Olivia Rodrigo-- Woah, that ending was stellar. I mean the whole thing was though. Can I pick both of them? Reba said that was fantastic, Elizabeth when you hit that big note I was in awe, Kaylee your range. Niall said that was the best version of that song I have ever heard. Kaylee your runs are phenomenal. Elizabeth you're just a different beast. Gwen called both of them gifted. John said that was stunning, both of you are interesting and cool. Elizabeth you're quirky but you can also flat out sing. Kaylee you're so polished at such a young age, it's stunning to watch. John picked Kaylee. Reba stole Elizabeth right as she was about the leave the stage.
Jordan Rainger, 33, kicked it off singing Fancy by Reba McEntire-- I loved the flare she brought to the song. She has a unique sound and she is a little bit country rock. 4 chairs. Jordan of course picked Reba!

Joslyn Rose, 16, sang Arcade by Duncan Laurence-- Gwen, Reba, and Niall turned. She is young and she does have a good voice. She has that folksy sound. However she was a little shaky in some places. Gwen always seems to go for the young contestants. John compared her to Billie Eilish. Joslyn picked Gwen.
Score: 5 out of 10
DeeJay Young, 33, sang This Woman's Work by Maxwell-- This is a killer song and he did it justice. John, Gwen, and Reba turned. His phrasing is gorgeous and his falsetto is beautiful. I love how he transitions from falsetto to his full voice. He calls Reba a legend but says "Get Lifted" changed his life. He predictably chose John.
Score: 9 out of 10
Sophia Hoffman, 18, sang Tell Me You Love Me by Demi Lovato-- Love this song, didn't love all the choices she made vocally. She came back from last season. Reba and Niall turned. Reba complimented her power and strength. Sophia chose Niall.

Score: 7 out of 10
Alexa Wildish, 34, sang Songbird by Fleetwood Mac-- Well deserved four chair turn. Her tone is stunning.

Everyone commented on the fact that she is a storyteller when she sings. She chose Niall.
Score: 9 out of 10
Olivia Minogue, 19, sang Lay Me Down by Sam Smith-- I love her song choice. She has a unique tone, it's a little bit odd though. Her lower register just doesn't sit well. John, Niall, and Reba turned, and Olivia being a huge One Direction fan chose Niall.
Score: 5 out of 10
Kristen Brown, 24, sang Blown Away by Carrie Underwood-- Okay, she is no Carrie, but she did hit some of the big notes. I think she is someone who could improve with some coaching. Gwen and Reba turned for her which I expected. Gwen calls Kristen a diamond in the rough. Reba promises to steal her because Kristen chose Gwen.
Score: 8 out of 10
Mara Justine, 21, sang Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John-- Mara was on AGT and American Idol and did pretty well on both shows. Now she has come to The Voice. John, Gwen, Reba, and Niall all turned. She is a pro, and is seasoned as a performer. I don't necessarily love the song for her or this rendition of it. I think she may have changed the melody a little too much. Mara ended up choosing John.

Score: 4 out of 10
Julia Roome, 13, sang Dream a Little Dream of Me-- Wow, her voice is so mature for her age. She has a classic sound, but it doesn't sound too old fashioned if that even makes sense. Her tone is unique. Niall and Gwen turned. She looked so excited when Niall turned. She could go far if coached and developed in the right way. I am actually surprised that she did not receive more turns. Julia chose Niall.
Score: 8.5 out of 10
Jenna Marquis, 19, sang Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus-- Gwen, Niall, and John turned. I actually admired her choice of song and the way she pursued it and really made it her own.

Jenna chose Gwen.
Score: 9 out of 10
Ephraim Owens, 36, sang Beneath Your Beautiful by Labrinth-- I don't even like that song and he was amazing. His tone is so special. He comes across as passionate, and his full voice is like incredible. Gwen liked his combo of soul and rock. Niall complimented his angst. Reba called him a firecracker, dynamic, and explosive. However-- Ephraim said John is one of his inspirations, so it is no surprise that he chose John.

4 CHAIRS
Score: 10 out of 10
Reid Zingdale, 27, sang July by Noah Cyrus-- Gwen, Niall, and John turned almost immediately. I think he has a cool sound, but I agree with Reba, he needs to enunciate his words a little bit better. The song is cool though and he has a storyteller sound and vibe. Niall said my fans are going to love you. Reid chose Niall.
Score: 8.5 out of 10
Claudia B, 24, sang Human Nature by Michael Jackson-- John, Niall, and Reba turned at the beginning. I love the song choice, and how she kind of gave it a jazz/ pop sound. She does have some soul in her voice too. Claudia went to Berklee and studied jazz. John asked what instrument she played, she said keys. Niall said he could tell she was a musician cause of how she interpreted the song. Claudia mentioned that she waited on Reba in Nashville and that she was very sweet to her, and Reba commented that she liked her vulnerability. Claudia chose John.
Score: 8.25 out of 10
Mac Royals, 30, sang Gravity by John Mayer-- He is the real deal. I loved his rendition of this song, oh my goodness, John Mayer is smiling watching this somewhere. He is soulful, expressive, and just all his own. John comments that he made us forget about the original. Reba stresses that she loves all genres of music. Mac surprises the whole panel by choosing Reba. He said he and his grandmother used to watch her show together.
4 CHAIRS
Score: 10 out of 10

Noah said he is a fan of it. Gwen said America loves your type of voice. Reba loved the gravel in his voice. Noah said he grew up listening to bluegrass and country. Noah chose Niall.
Score: 9 out of 10

Score: 7 out of 10
Alison Albrecht sang Ironic by Alanis Morissette-- Another one chair turn by Reba. I don't find Alison particularly strong. I think she will quickly be pushed out in the next round.

Rudi, 28, sang You Don't Know Me by Leslie Gore-- I actually loved her surprisingly. Her voice was very soulful, she kind of reminded me of a cross between Ariana Grande, J Lo, and JoJo.

Blind Auditions 4:
Laura Williams, 20, sang Fingers Crossed by Lauren Spencer Smith-- Hmm, the coaches obviously loved her. I found her a little bit shouty at times. I do give her props for getting through the song, but there was something about it that I didn't love the way the coaches did. Niall loves her vibe and mentions how difficult the song is to sing. Reba says Laura is a prodigy. Laura chose Niall, obviously because she spoke about how much she loved One Direction.

Score: 8.25 out of 10
Jason Arcilla, 34, sang Dreams by Fleetwood Mac-- To me, this should have been four chairs. He was amazing. I feel like I could feel the emotions he was conveying through this song.

Kaylee Shimizu, 17, sang Golden Slumbers by The Beatles-- I find her song choice a little bit weird. She has an Ariana Grande vibe, clearly she can hit high notes. She does have an impressive range, and there is a wideness in her lower register. John said her voice was dazzling and creative. Gwen liked her slow vibrato. Niall said she is technically gifted. Kaylee chose John.

BIAS, 23, sang God's Country by Blake Shelton-- I can tell BIAS is a big fan of Blake, he did have some definite pitch issues. I am hoping with some good coaching that Gwen or Reba can help him with that. Niall noted that the pitch issues is why he did not turn. BIAS chose Gwen.
Score: 6 out of 10
Rachele Nguyen, 17, sang Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis-- She has a pretty voice and this is a tough song to sing but she is pretty pitchy. The song also felt very fragmented when she was singing it. There were many shining moments. Reba said she turned because she wants to help her blossom. Only Reba turns, and she is on Team Reba.
Score: 7 out of 10
LVNDR, sang Hotline Bling by Drake-- I think she has a cool sound. I am not totally sure of the arrangement but I give her major props for changing it up. John liked her point of view and story to tell. LVNDR said she taught herself guitar. Niall loves her character and called it stunning. Reba said she regrets not turning. LVNDR chose Niall.
Score: 9 out of 10
Jacquie Roar, 37, sang Here for the Party by Gretchen Wilson-- Her performance got better as it went along. She was definitely nervous at first. I love all the grit and growl in her voice, and this song suited her style of rock/ country. All four coaches took a while, but turned. Reba loved her song choice and thought her range was incredible. Niall said that was insane, he wanted to see dynamic and she showed it. Gwen said this is so much pressure, I want you to like me. John said it's obvious you would go with Team Legend, you're going to do so well on this show because your voice is powerful. Jacquie brought her daughter out and they picked Gwen.

Tanner Massey, 19, sang Before You Go by Lewis Capaldi-- He reminds me a little bit of Shawn Mendes. I like his voice, there were some nerves, but he worked them out for sure. I love how he changed up the song towards the end. Reba, Gwen, and Niall turned. Niall said he can work with nerves, and he said he would call Lewis because he would be very happy with that version of his song.

Jarae Womack, 35, sang Back to Black by Amy Winehouse-- Loved her rendition of this song. Amy Winehouse did it with such soul and Jarae did as well. Niall said you completely made the song your own, so believable. Reba said that touched my soul, I love the roundness of your voice; I am blessed to be in your presence. John said that was genre-less. You were speaking honestly through the music, I would love to work with you. Gwen loved the breathiness and rasp, very emotional. Jarae chose John.

Brandon Montel, 29, sang Hard Place by H.E.R.-- Brandon has a cool voice and vibe, reminds me a little bit of the singer Mario. Reba blocked John. John said we've been prevented from working together, if there is a steal opportunity, I will be first in line. Niall said your runs were tasteful and your tone was so good, I've been waiting for you. Reba said Brandon, you're the reason I blocked on John.

Little Montage.....
Both one turn Reba pick ups---
CORii sang Scared to be Lonely and Crystal Nicole sang Only Girl (In the World), which she co-wrote. Kinda weird that they would be montaged.
Elizabeth Evans, 22, sang All I Wanted by Paramore-- She is an interesting character for sure. She is a little bit shouty in spots, there is some shakiness too in her vocals. John and Reba turned, and Elizabeth ending up choosing Team John

Nini Iris, 27, sang I See Red by Everybody Loves an Outlaw-- WOW! One of my fave performances season to date. The coaches are turned quickly, Niall was on his feet. She is fierce and powerful.

Score: 4 out of 10
Kara Tenae, 33, sang Boo'd Up by Ella Mai-- I like her soul but she is almost over enunciating and it sounds weird. Gwen, Reba, and Niall turned. I like when she hit the high note towards the end, but she needs some coaching. Kara chose Gwen.
Score: 6 out of 10
Caleb Sasser, 27, sang Another Sad Love Song by Toni Braxton-- Caleb was surprising because he sustained that higher register throughout the entire song. His range is simply incredible.
