The Voice Season 11: The Last of The Knockouts Stun

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 Miley: Lane Mack vs. Sophia Urista singing Money by Pink Floyd-- Blake felt Lane came out swinging from the beginning and he'd pick her. Alicia liked Sophia's performance quality and as a result, she would pick her. Miley thinks Lane is a beast but Sophia is a performer at heart. I didn't love the performance to be honest so I am unsure who wins this, but I think I would go with Sophia.
Miley chose Sophia

Team Blake: Courtney Harrell vs. Ethan Tucker singing Gravity by John Mayer-- I loved the gravelly sound in Ethan's voice. Courtney had a ton of soul, I loved her and I would pick her. Miley surprisingly said she would pick Ethan. Adam felt they were both very locked in to each other. Blake thinks Ethan's natural sound catches people's attention. He felt like Courtney did a lot of different things and Ethan allowed her to.
Blake chose Courtney

Lightning Rounds:

Team Adam: Ponciano Seoane vs. Elia Esparza singing Tenerife Sea by Ed Sheeran, Adam chose Ponciano

Team Miley: Josette Diaz vs. Charity Bowden singing She's Got You by Patsy Cline, Miley chose Josette

Team Miley: Khaliya Kimberlie vs. Maye Thomas singing For What It's Worth by Stephen Stills, Miley chose Maye

Team Alicia: Dave Moisan vs. Michael Sanchez singing Valerie by Amy Winehouse-- Blake thought Michael's performance was the best of the day and he won that battle because it was a total surprise, his voice sounded so seasoned. Alicia liked Michael beautiful round voice, and Dave I love your falsetto that reminds me of Smokey Robinson. I gotta say, Michael definitely impressed me, and when he was singing I found myself looking up and staring at the TV.
Alicia chose Michael and Adam stole Dave..... Adam said he missed him last time around, but now he is where he belongs.

Keep your eyes on: Courtney Harrell, Josette Diaz, and Michael Sanchez

The Voice: Season 11 The Blinds Continue

Sa'rayah sang Drown in my Own Tears by Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin-- Miley and Alicia turned. What happened to Adam and Blake? Miley made a lackluster pitch for Sa'rayah. Alicia said you blew me all the way back to the galaxy with your voice. Miley said she's not the obvious choice. I loved this girl, to me, this was a 4 chair turn, and I cannot understand why all coaches didn't turn for her. Her voice was so special, and just oozed emotion. She is one to watch.
Sa'rayah chose Miley

Ethan Tucker sang Roxanne by The Police-- Wow, another shocker, Blake and Adam turned, and he ended up choosing Blake! Ethan chose Blake because he felt he would challenge him musically. Blake laughed at Adam saying you said I think we would get along musically, what does that mean? I thought Ethan was okay, he had a rock/ reggae sound that was kind of interesting so it will definitely be cool to see how he develops that.
Ethan chose Blake

Katie Colosimo sang Stone Cold by Demi Lovato-- No one turned for her. Adam said she may have been too emotional. I liked her emotion.

We McDonald sang Feeling Good by Michael Buble-- Miley, Alicia, and Blake turned at the beginning. She has a very deep and soulful voice. Her voice is very rich. Adam joined the party as well. Unbelievable that she is only 17! Blake said he hit his button out of jealousy and he would do anything to be her coach. Her family cheered. Alicia liked how she is so perfectly herself. Adam said he can teach her things and will throw a party for her if she picks him as her coach. Adam said Alicia just dropped the mic on us but I have done things in the past five/ six years to help people win this show.
We chose Alicia

Andrew DeMuro sang Vienna by Billy Joel-- Blake and Adam both turned. Adam said I understand what you're about. Blake likes to lean on his track record. I think I'd love to hear more from Adam and see how he progresses. Finally....
Andrew chose Adam

Billy Gilman sang When We Were Young by Adele-- Adam turned followed by Miley. I love his voice. I remember him as a child! This is crazy, his voice is amazing. I love seeing him mature, Blake and Alicia turned too! 4 chairs, totally deserved. Blake said I know you, now you found your sound and you know where you are supposed to be. Miley said let me take care of you. Billy opened for Miley's dad. Adam said he turned first and now he isn't sitting down til Billy chooses him. Alicia said what she loves most is that he is now the person that he wants to be. Adam believes he can win the whole thing.
Billy chose Adam

Nathalie Vincent sang Hold Back the River by James Bay -- No one turned, Adam went up and hugged her and Miley joined them and they all said she should come back.

Sophia Urista sang Come Together by The Beatles-- I loved all the gravel and growl in her voice. Miley and Alicia both turned. Blake said he was intimidated by her voice. Alicia said let's stay together so we can scare all the men in the world. Alicia heard Janis Joplin and Tie Turner combined and said she'd love to work with her. Miley felt like she was at her show like a rock and roll Dolly Parton.
Sophia chose Miley

Brendan Fletcher sang Jolene by Ray Lamontagne-- Adam and Alicia turned, then Miley. Alicia sees his authenticity, Miley thinks he is rad, and Adam said his voice could be the voice. I like Brendan's sound, it's very blues, folk, and rock. I loved it.
Brendan chose Adam

Dan Shafer sang Marry Me-- I love the sweetness of his voice. He is special! Blake was the only one that turned, he was so smart to turn for Dan! Adam said he was tender and had strong moment. Blake said Adam screwed the pooch. Blake said your voice sounded so young to me. Miley said Dan is an image to never give up on your dreams.
Blake chose Dan

Lauren Diaz sang If I Ain't Got You by Alicia Keys-- Lauren is so beautiful and when she sings, she is full of life. I found her performance so heartfelt and just real. Alicia turned first of course, followed by Miley and Blake. Adam didn't turn. Blake said I am willing to make an ass of myself to prove that I wanna be your coach. Miley said, sing Alicia and go with me, it's just crazy. Blake said I don't accept that you're gonna be on Alicia's team. Alicia started singing If I Ain't Got You. Lauren's boyfriend proposed to her!
Lauren chose Alicia
