The Voice Season 14: Team Kelly and Team Adam Perform and Who Are the Top 12?

Team Kelly:

Caleb Lee sang Die a Happy Man by Thomas Rhett-- Kelly called Caleb the best country singer on the show. 

Alexa Capelli sang Stop and Stare by One Republic-- Both Kelly and Alexa are emotional by the end of the song. Kelly says she is so proud and calls Alexa captivating. 

D.R. King sang All On My Mind by Anderson East-- D.R. put a lot into that performance, he definitely has a strong voice and wants to be there. Kelly calls D.R. so talented and it's refreshing. 

Dylan Hartigan sang Mary Jane's Last Dance-- Interesting song choice from Dylan, I was somehow less than convinced with this performance. I think I would have preferred something more contemporary from him. Kelly says that Dylan is so good looking that people seem to forget just how talented he is. 

Tish Haynes Keys sang At Last by Etta James-- Tish is old school, her performance is so soulful and genuine. She must move forward in my opinion. She looks gorgeous too. Kelly says Tish is so gifted, and she's such a phenomenal singer. 

Team Adam:

Reid Umstattd sang Long Cool Woman by the Hollies-- I loved Reid's performance, this was so raw and authentic. The more I see him, the more I feel he deserves to move forward. Adam said no one has done anything like that and that energy felt so real. 

Jackie Verna sang Once by Maren Morris-- I like Jackie a lot but that performance was a little boring for me. Adam said he is beaming with pride, you're beastly. 

Drew Cole sang Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones-- This is the best I have heard Drew in forever. I loved this. Adam said he loved Drew's arrangement on that song. 

Mia Boostrom sang Either Way by Chris Stapleton-- Hmm, Mia sounded a little off tonight. Not sure, I just wasn't feeling this. Adam said that Mia has beat the odds over and over again. 

Rayshun LaMarr sang I'm Goin' Down by Mary J. Blige-- Oh wow! I'm loving Rayshun, he is in it to win. His emotion when he sings always blows me away. He puts so much in to every performance. Adam said, you just won the week.

The Voice Season 14: 24 People Perform in 2 Hours..... Say What!?!?

Team Kelly:

Alexa Capelli sang It Hurt So Bad by Susan Tedeschi-- Tough song to sing and Alexa did well. Her higher register was on point. 

Caleb Lee sang You Don't Even Know Who I Am by Patty Loveless-- To me, Caleb is already a star. 

Tish Hayness Keys sang Nothing Left For You by Sam Smith-- Tish's voice was so soulful, this performance was no exception. 

Brynn Cartelli sang Unstoppable by Sia-- This definitely had some pitch issues, ouch. She's talented, but this wasn't her night. 

Dylan Hartigan sang Come Pick Me Up by Ryan Adams-- It was different, I liked his tone, the song was a little bit sleepy for me. 

D.R. King sang Home by Marc Broussard-- I like D.R. so much but this song may have not been the best choice for him. 

Team Kelly Prediction-- Alexa, Tish, and Caleb or D.R. move on. 

Dylan and Brynn are definitely out in my book

Team Adam:

Drew Cole sang Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson-- Did not like the song for him or the vocal, this was a miss for me. 

Mia Boostrom sang Baby I Love You by Aretha Franklin-- Coaches were standing for that one, her vocal was good but I didn't love the song. 

Jackie Verna sang Tim McGraw by Taylor Swift-- I liked this performance by Jackie, not the most exciting song, but what I did like is how she made it her own and proved what she would be like as a country artist. 

Rayshun LaMarr sang Overjoyed by Stevie Wonder-- Wow, I loved this, Rayshun is so joyous when he sings. This was great. 

Sharane Calister sang Never Enough by Loren Allred-- I liked this performance, I remember liking past performances more, but she might squeeze through. 

Reid Umstattd sang I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by U2-- I thought this was a great performance, strong song choice and strong vocal by Reid. 

Team Adam Prediction-- Jackie, Rayshun, and Sharane are moving forward

Drew, Mia, and Reid will go home

Team Blake: 

Austin Giorgio sang Ain't That a Kick in the Head-- That was just so effortless, LOVED it. 

Pryor Baird sang I Was Wrong by Chris Stapleton-- Pryor just sounds so different than anyone else, that's what makes him stand out, this was a great vocal. 

Kyla Jade sang How Great Thou Art-- That started out really amazing and it went down a bit, but she may still move on. 

Gary Edwards sang Finesse by Bruno Mars-- I wasn't a huge fan of the arrangement on this, but I like Gary. 

Spensha Baker sang I Still Believe in You by Vince Gill-- Moments of brilliance but pitch issues at point. 

WILKES sang Brother by NEEDTOBREATHE-- An indie artist at heart. Love what he stands for but will it take him through.

Team Blake Prediction: Austin, Pryor, and Spensha or Kyla are moving forward....

Gary, and Wilkes are going home

Team Alicia:

Johnny Bliss sang America America by Luis Miguel-- This was a little out there for me, but I like him in this competition. 

Kelsea Johnson sang You Know I'm No Good by Amy Winehouse-- I loved Kelsea, I think she is going to be a force in this competition. 

Terrence Cunningham sang How Come U Don't Call Me by Prince-- One of my absolute faves in this whole thing. Amazing song choice and unreal vocal, "Prince-like". 

Jackie Foster sang Never Tear Us Apart by INXS-- What a performance!!! That may have been THE performance of the night. Her vocals were smoking. 

Christiana Danielle sang Hey Ya by Outkast-- That was crazy creative. I loved that too! I think Alicia has the best overall team. 

Britton Buchanan sang Some Kind of Wonderful by Grand Funk Railroad-- At first, I wasn't crazy about this, but the more he got into the performance, the more I could see him emotionally buying in. I loved this too. 

Team Alicia Prediction: Jackie, Terrence, and Christiana or Britton are moving forward

Sadly Johnny and Kelsea are going home

 .........................

Brynn, Sharane, Kyla and Britton advanced to the Top 12

The Voice Season 14: I'm Fallin' for the last of the Knockouts

Team Alicia: Britton Buchanan sang New York State of Mind by Billy Joel vs. Dallas Caroline sang sang Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts-- Britton showed more here. Dallas has a sweet voice but still seems like she has some developing to do in terms of experience on stage and vocally. Adam said he'd have to go with Britton because he wanted him on his team. Alicia felt both of them conquered something new. Alicia chose Britton because she said he seems to just keep evolving.
Alicia chose Britton

Team Kelly: D.R. King sang I Know I'm Losing You by The Temptations vs. Tish Haynes Keys sang Lady Marmalade by Patti La Belle-- I thought both of them did great. This was the perfect song for Tish. There is something really special about D.R. Adam said D.R., what you did was amazing, taking that song and making it your own, and then Tish came out and I miss you so much Tish. Blake  said D.R., we always look forward to you coming out, and Tish you came out and just blew us away.
Kelly chose D.R., and Kelly saved Tish but Adam wanted to steal her back.... Tish chose to stay with Kelly

Team Blake: Dylan Hartigan sang You Are the Best Thing by Ray LaMontagne vs. Wilkes sang The Climb by Miley Cyrus-- I actually did not love that performance from Dylan, although, at the same time, I think he is very talented. He's actually one of my favorites in the competition. Wilkes was awesome, loved his range, loved that he sang Miley. Kelly said she commends both of them. Alicia said Dylan is so smooth. Adam said Wilkes is crazy with his range and tones. Blake said both of them did what they could do.
Blake chose Wilkes, and Kelly stole Dylan

Team Adam: Gary Edwards sang Many Rivers to Cross by Jimmy Cliff and Rayshun LeMarr sand Fallin' by Alicia Keys-- Gary really took us to church, loved his song choice, so inspired. Rayshun chose a tough song, and he really made it his own. His vocals were super on point. Kelly loved Gary's song choice and performances. Blake said Rayshun, you're so full of everything. Alicia loved both guys. Adam said Rayshun, you hit those notes that you thought you couldn't, no one else on the team has your fire. Adam said Rayshun is swinging for beyond the fences.
Adam chose Rayshun and Blake stole Gary

Team Kelly: Alexa Cappeli sang Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John vs. Jorge Eduardo sang Adorn by Miguel-- So I didn't like how Alexa scooped up into the notes, especially when she was singing "Road".  Jorge definitely had the crowd on his side. Blake loves how the crowd reacts to Jorge, and he thinks Alexa is one of the best singers in the competition.
Kelly chose Alexa

Team Adam chose Reid Umstattd who sang Let Him Fly by Patty Griffin

Team Alicia: Kelsea Johnson sang Rise Up by Andra Day vs. Sharane Calister sang All I Could Do Was Cry by Etta James-- Wow! Both women were extraordinary. But for me, Sharane wins this hands down. Her voice made me watch and listen just so intently, her emotion absolutely drew me in. Adam said he wishes he could have them both. Kelly said Sharane is one of the most emotional singers on this show. Blake said Sharane, you just have those pipes, WTF! Blake said the way Kelsea's voice breaks up excited him as a listener.
Alicia chose Kelsea and Adam stole Sharane

My prediction:

I think D.R., Dylan, Rayshun, and Sharane are going to go far in this competition.

The Voice Season 14: Oh Sweet Thing, It's the Battle Rounds ;-)

Team Alicia: Jamai vs. Sharane Calister sang Mercy by Shawn Mendes-- To be honest, I was not thrilled with either but, if I had to choose, Jamai had more vocal control to me. Kelly said Sharane you had so much ache in your voice, and I'd lean towards you. Alicia said Jamai you have grown exponentially and Sharane it's like you've liked 11 lives and you're only 24. 

Alicia chose Sharane, and likened her to Beyonce 

Team Kelly: Brynn Cartelli vs. Dylan Hartigan sang Ready for It by Taylor Swift-- I thought that they were both great. Brynn had a lot of power and energy. Dylan brought a lot of personality and swag. Alicia said, I like people that get on the floor Dylan because it shows that you really want it. Adam said, are you really 14 Brynn? You're a star. I'd go with you. Blake said you're both young-- Dylan you have a good voice and Brynn you're a star, but it got pretty loud for Dylan. 

Kelly chose Brynn, and Blake stole Dylan! 

Team Blake: Jesslee vs. Kyla Jade sang One Last Time by Arianna Grande-- I think both ladies did a great job considering this song was so far out of their lane in terms of vocal style. Kelly really got into it, I could tell she was really feeling Kyla. Alicia said both of them shined and reminded Kyla not to shut down on her greatness. I think like Blake said, she is so used to being in the background that she almost isn't used to being in the lead. Blake said Kyla really had to figure out how to not be a background singer. 

Blake chose Kyla

Team Adam: Rayshun LaMarr vs. Tish Haynes Keys sang Sweet Thing by Chaka Kahn-- Wow, I don't dance, at all, ever! These two had me wanting to get up and dance. They were so good, their voices blended well and were so soulful. Kelly and Adam were up out of their seats, now this is a legit battle! Both of them deserve to move on. Adam said you both had a moment and that happened cause you were together. Kelly said Tish you remind me so much of Chaka and Aretha, I'd love both of you on my team. Alicia said you both were amazing. Adam said I love you both equally and both should be in this competition. 

Adam chose Rayshun and Kelly stole Tish

Team Alicia: Christiana Danielle vs. Shana Halligan sang Use Somebody by Kings of Leon-- I actually did not love the way they changed up that song, I wish it would have been more true to the original. Adam said that there is something very unique about Christiana. Alicia loved it and thought that they killed it. Hey, that's all that matters!

Alicia chose Christiana

Team Kelly: D.R. King vs. Jackie Foster sang Sign of the Times by Harry Styles-- Alicia said it was her fave battle so far. Oh wow, I disagree Alicia! I thought the battle from Team Adam was the best one. I will agree this was a close second. Both of them had strong voices. D.R. has an unreal falsetto, it's so clear and Jackie has so much power behind her voice. Adam said that they were astonishing, and Kelly said that she loves them both and couldn't imagine pairing them with anyone else. This was a standing ovation but all 4 coaches. Unsure why Rayshun and Tish wasn't a standing ovation as well. 

Kelly chose D.R., and there was a triple steal for Jackie

Adam said Jackie what you did is definitive. Alicia said Jackie you stood on your own, separate from D.R. Blake said I love Jackie, and reminded her about how he stole Chloe last year. 

Jackie chose Adam   

So many amazing singers tonight--- BIG voices! Who impressed me? Every battle that had a steal.... these vocalists are contenders-- Brynn, Dylan, Tish, Rayshun, D.R. King, Jackie is a dark horse. 

The Voice Season 14: Night 5 of the Blinds

Stephanie Skipper sang Piece by Piece by Kelly Clarkson-- Wow, Stephanie picked for me what is Kelly Clarkson's most personal song, and she just sang it so beautifully and put her own stamp on it. Kelly said it is so cool that you picked that song. Stephanie and Kelly thanked each other for singing that song. Adam and Blake turned. Blake said I applaud you for doing something scary and for giving us such a passionate performance. Adam said he will help Stephanie to let go and be more creative.
Stephanie chose Adam

Tish Haynes Keys sang Chain of Fools by Aretha Franklin-- Adam and Kelly turned for Tish who took on Aretha flawlessly. She didn't try to impersonate her but she was so soulful. Tish said Kelly you mean so much to my musical career I watched TV when the world met you, but I want to learn, grow, and be different so I choose Adam. She said she chose Adam because he said he is going to take her our of her comfort zone.
Tish chose Adam

Bransen Ireland sang Tulsa Time by Don Williams-- Bransen has an authentic country sound, this is a niche of country we're not hearing a lot right now, so he may do well. I don't love his performance, but I suppose that's something that he could work on. Adam and Blake turned. Adam said you're singing a song that states you won't be on my team. Alicia said Adam turned before Blake. Kelly said you won't have any competition on Adam's team. Despite Alicia and Kelly teaming up to push for Adam, Bransen chose Blake.

Teana Boston sang Unfaithful by Rihanna-- I liked this girl! She needs a little bit of work, but she's a sponge and she is going to absolutely soak up everything Kelly teaches her. Kelly said it's crazy that you're 16, and I am gonna win this show. Alicia said this is a hard song choice, you were brave. Adam said you're gonna be so far ahead of the curve. Blake said we're all going to regret not turning for you, I've been doing this show probably since before you were born.
Kelly chose Teana

Miya Bass sang Issues by Julia Michaels-- WOW! Such a mistake that no one turned other than Adam! She was really good, I loved her take on that song, very soulful with some punch. Adam said I am a huge fan of that song, I think Julia Michaels is a genius. You were amazing, until you got in your head, but you're super dope.
Adam chose Miya

Livia Faith sang Dream a Little Dream of Me-- Hmm, it's interesting to me how the people that Adam doesn't turn for are the ones I am normally least impressed with. I found her voice to be a little too sweet, almost like I wanted her to rough it up a little bit. Kelly and Blake turned. She talked about before going into her audition that she wanted Blake to choose her. At the very end Alicia turned, and she chose Alicia!
Livia chose Alicia

Jordan Kirkdorffer sang In Case You Didn't Know by Brett Young-- This guy is good, strong vocal, good range, and has the swag. Adam turned first and then Blake. Adam cringed when Blake turned. Adam said, do I have a chance? Adam said oh, but it sounds like a small one. He told him there was a lot of dimensions in his voice-- there was country and there was pop as well. Kelly defended Adam. Adam said I didn't need a vote or verification from Blake to turn around.
Jordan chose Blake

Shana Halligan sang Bang Bang by Cher-- Hmm, she reminds me of someone with that voice, I can't think of who.... a little bit of Amy Winehouse. Alicia was the only one who turned..... I think Shana also sounds a little like Florence from Florence and the Machine. Shana, to me, is someone who potentially could be big in this competition, she's kind of like a diamond in the rough, lot of potential with her.
Alicia chose Shana

Gary Edwards sang What's Going On by Marvin Gaye-- Gary sang a song that continues to have such relevance like Adam said. I loved how he made What's Going On his own. His falsetto was awesome. Adam turned almost immediately whereas Blake turned towards the end. Blake said you're in my neck of the woods in Texas. He said if you choose Adam as your coach, maybe you can advise him to put on another shirt.
Gary chose Adam

Hannah Goebel sang If I Ain't Got You by Alicia Keys-- Hannah was amazing from the first note, and she picked such a great song. Everyone turned but Kelly blocked Alicia which was strategic in such a smart way.
Hannah chose Kelly

I'm looking out for Stephanie, Tena, and Miya!
