The Voice Season 13: There's Glitter in the Air for the Knockouts

Team Miley: Brooke Simpson singing Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin vs. Stephan Marcellus singing Impossible by Shontelle-- Miley said Brooke needs to bring the swag and Stephan needs to be confident. I liked both of them, I think they're equally talented. Brooke has the slightly stronger voice, but Stephan is the stronger performer. Miley can't go wrong with whoever she chooses. I almost wish both could move forward. Adam said it's rare that someone who is a 4 chair turn who gets better in the blinds. He also loves what Stephan wear and thinks he has stage presence. Miley said Brooke's voice is powerful, she said Stephan you have had a tough journey on this show, but you can sing.
Miley chose Brooke

Team Blake: Anna Catherine DeHart singing Breathe by Faith Hill vs. Mitchell Lee singing I'll Be by Edwin McCain-- Mitchell has so much confidence onstage, I loved the way he changed up the song, those little nuances were so perfect. I think he also has so much stage presence, impressive! Anna Catherine was actually really good, she definitely pulled off a very vocally tough song. J. Hud loved Anna's ease, and Mitchell you have so much swag. Miley loved how seasoned Mitchell is as a performer, and loves the sound that Anna is bringing to country music. Adam thought Mitchell's performance made up for the pitch issues he had. Blake said, Mitchell the way you worked the crowd. you made me feel "melty", and Anna Catherine you bring something to country music that we need more of.
Blake chose Mitchell

Team Jennifer: Jeremiah Miller singing Sorry by Justin Bieber vs. Noah Mac singing Hold Back the River by James Bay-- I liked Jeremiah's performance, but Noah had this performance. His low notes to full voice sounded "dope" like Miley said. Adam said Noah, what you do is special. Blake said Noah, I feel like a moron, I never should have let you go. Jen said Jeremiah it's tricky when you pick out a Justin Bieber because you should be carving out your own lane. Noah, you're kinda beyond your years.
Jennifer chose Noah

Team Blake: Kathrina Feigh singing Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys vs. Keisha Renae singing I Hope You Dance by Leann Womack--  I thought both ladies were confident and strong. I would lean towards Keisha because she clearly knows who she is and there is a niche for someone like her in country music. I could even see her transcending the country music genre. Jen said, Blake it depends if you wanna dance or be on fire. Blake said, when I dance I actually look like I'm on fire. Adam said Kathrina you're scrappy, definitely a fighter. Blake said Kathrina you're an incredible talent. Keisha you're such a thoughtful performer, you think about every lyric.
Blake chose Keisha

Team Adam: Dylan Gerard vs Jon Mero singing Blame it on the Boogie by The Jackson 5-- Adam chose Jon

Team Miley: Moriah Formica singing Behind These Hazel Eyes by Kelly Clarkson vs. Whitney Fenimore singing Calling All Angels by Train-- Moriah was bad ass singing that Kelly Clarkson song, the high notes at the end were perfectly executed. She has so much maturity for her age. Whitney is a storyteller, she really elevated this song. Adam said you two destroyed this, I refuse to decide. Whitney, your voice was shockingly clear, but Moriah your performance was fierce. Jen said, Moriah, I wouldn't wanna go against you, you're a star, and Whitney,  I didn't want your performance to end.
Miley chose Moriah

Team Adam: Emily Luther singing Glitter in the Air by Pink vs. Adam Pearce singing Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple-- I was digging Adam's performance, he was true to who he is as an artist and it sounded great. I always seem to use the word authentic for rockers, but it was.  Emily is a great singer, but I feel like I don't know her, and Adam hinted at this in his comments. Blake said for him Emily won the knockout. Jen said Adam, your last note, what was that; Emily, your performance was really beautiful. Miley said, Adam, I felt more nerves today, and Emily, you sang incredibly.
Adam chose Emily and Miley stole Adam

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.
