The Voice Season 15: The Battles... Too Close in Some Cases

Team Blake: Keith Paluso vs. Dave Finley singing I'm A One Woman Man by George Jones-- They are well matched. I honestly cannot choose-- Dave and Keith both brought it! Wow, I loved their range, their sheer talent, the vocals had so much swagger. J. Hud said you took us on a journey and you made it work. Kelly said it felt raw and organic, it's just who you are. Adam said I am not gonna say who won because it goes against the spirit of what that was. Keith the fact that you're not country and Kelly thought you were is a testament to you, and Dave you're a badass. No one could choose!
Blake chose Dave! Keith needs to get saved! Yes! Adam saved Keith!

Team Adam: Emily Hough vs. Reagan Strange singing Photograph by Ed Sheeran-- I would give the edge to Reagan. I just loved her tone and intonation. Blake praised both young ladies. J. Hud said Reagan embraced the moment, and Emily you have such a big voice. You sounded amazing together. Kelly said Reagan's voice is like poetry, and she was captivated by Emily. Adam said I am such a big fan of the both of you and this is going to break my heart.
Adam chose Reagan, he said she has this thing about her, I can't explain it, she's just special.

Team Jennifer: Franc West vs. Matt Johnson singing Too Close by Alex Clare--  I was okay with this, I didn't love the song. Matt was smoother, but Franc definitely had a swagger. Adam said he loved both of them but liked Matt's game face. Blake said he would go with Franc. Jennifer said she loved both of them, they each bring something different. She said something about Franc's swagger and how his voice cuts through her like a knife. I knew she was going to pick him.
Jennifer chose Franc

Team Kelly: Abby Cates vs. Delaney Silvernell singing Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding-- Delaney won this by a mile. Her tone is warm and smooth. By contrast, Abby sounded inexperienced, her phrasing was odd. Adam noted Delaney's experience but said he wouldn't choose between them and J. Hud echoed his sentiment. Blake said he would go with Delaney because you can hear the experience in her voice.
Kelly chose Abby and Adam immediately stole Delaney

Team Adam: Foushee vs. Radha singing Growing Pains by Aleesia Cara-- Adam chose Radha
Team Kelly: Mikele Buck vs. Chevel Shepherd singing You Look So Good In Love by George Strait-- Kelly chose Chevel
Team Jennifer: Audri Bartholomew vs. Makenzie Thomas singing Always Be My Baby by Mariah Carey-- Jennifer chose Makenzie

Team Adam: Jake Wells vs. Natalie Brady singing Closing Time by Semisonic-- OMG! Jake is my absolute fave! I love how he performs, I love his voice. He made Natalie better. Their voices blended so well! Blake said Jake, you were a one chair turn, clearly you got away from us. He said he would maybe go with Natalie. Kelly said Jake you look like Brad Pitt meets Kurt Cobain and you're a good singer. Adam thought the version of the song was so special, it seemed like a finale performance.
Adam said I need to choose who spoke to me the  most.
Adam chose Jake

Team Jennifer: Tyshawn Colquitt vs. Zaxai singing Love Lies by Khalid and Normani-- I love both of these artists, they are both very different, but both true R&B artists. I love how they took this song and had two guys singing it. The dynamics were incredible! I could not see parting with either one of these guys, too close to call for me. Kelly said she would lean towards Zaxai. Blake said you should go with whoever you blocked Kelly to get.
Jennifer chose Tyshawn, and Kelly needs to steal Zaxai! Yes!!! Kelly saved Zaxai!

Who stood out to me tonight? Jake Wells, Zaxai, Delaney, Tyshawn, Keith and Dave! There were so many great performances tonight. Who did you love? Leave some LOVE in the comments. ;-)

The Voice Season 15: Night 1 of the Blinds Turn Tables on Previous Seasons

Sarah Grace sang Ball and Chain by Janis Joplin-- It is unreal how nuanced her voice is. For 15 years old, she has poise and grit beyond her years. Kelly called her stank face, J. Hud said she had sass, and Blake said she has grit and passion. Blake said I think I would be a great coach for you. I am surprised Adam didn't turn and make this a well deserved 4 chair turn.
Sarah chose Kelly

Tyshawn Colquitt sang Like I Can by Sam Smith-- Blake said you go into that falsetto, hummingbird whistle, and I know I am out of my league here but I want to be your coach. He told J. Hud he wants to bring real R&B back. I didn't think it was necessarily the best song for him but I loved his old school style. Him wanting to bring classic R&B back is so appealing.
Tyshawn chose Jennifer

Tyke James sang Perfect by Ed Sheeran-- Kelly said she wanted his hair. Adam was the only one who turned for him. His voice was very different. With good development, I could see him moving in the competition.
Adam chose Tyke

Ayanna Joni was passed on by the coaches but she is getting another chance on Kelsea's comeback team.

Mercedes Ferreria Dias sang She Used to Be Mine by Sara Bareilles -- Kelly and Blake turned for this comeback artist! She sounded great. Blake said your voice is so personal, I want to help artists like you, you're unique. Kelly said there is this little sad part in your voice, and that's my favorite part. Mercedes said her mom likes Blake, and Adam said, go give her a hug Blake, and he said, I will, after Mercedes picks me.
Mercedes chose Blake

Radha sang Mama Knows Best by Jessie J-- Adam said I am your guy, he blocked J. Hud. He said that when she started that song, it made him sit up in his chair. Blake said you vocally kicked the door down. Adam, Blake, and Jenn turned. My feeling on Radha is she is somewhat loud; I wanted her to have more dynamics. If she can clean that up, she will do well.
Radha chose Adam

Kameron Marlowe sang One Number Away by Luke Combs -- Kelly and Blake turned. Kameron is the country rocker this season. Adam regrets not turning but Kameron reassures Adam that he most likely would not have chosen him. No surprise, he chooses Blake.
Kameron chose Blake

Mikele Buck sang She Used to Be Mine by Brooks & Dunn-- Such a perfect choice of song for him to display his talent. Blake and Kelly turned which I completely expected. Adam advises Kelly on how to get Mikele on her team. She talks about working with Jason Aldean, and stealing Kaleb Lee from Blake's team last season. She says her husband is Blake's manager.
Mikele chose Kelly

Patrique Fortson sang Get Here by Oleta Adams-- Patrique is soulful, this sounds like the classic R&B we used to hear on the radio in the 80's and 90's. Jenn and Adam turned. Poor Adam basically knew he didn't have a chance.
Patrique chose Jennifer

Kennedy Holmes sang Turning Tables by Adele-- Well deserved four chair turn, this young lady has an unforgettable voice. It's not even believable that she is only 13. She sings I am Changing on stage with J Hud. Adam says she could become the biggest thing ever to come from this show. He could very well be right. Blake was in awe of her poise. Kelly was crying. In the end, Kennedy chose J. Hud, no surprise.
Kennedy chose Jennifer

Sarah Grace and Kennedy Holmes are going deep in the competition, and I won't count out dark horse, Mikele Buck
