The Voice Season 27: Last Dance, Last Chance on Knockouts

Team Legend: Nell Simmons sang Sweet Thing by Chaka Kahn vs. Renzo sang Happier Than Ever by Billie Eilish-- Nell was amazing, to me, she is definitely live show worthy and has proven her growth in every round. Renzo is interesting for sure, this song choice was odd, and I think it matched his eccentricity. It's a toss up, but I think I would choose Nell. The coaches had amazing things to say about Nell and Renzo. Kelsea said Nell sounded sexy and strong. Adam called Renzo a unicorn and said he will be shocked if he doesn't make it to the end. John chose Renzo. I am shocked no one stole Nell. 

Team Buble: Adam David sang Unaware by Allen Stone vs. Carlos Santiago sang You Are the Reason by Callum Scott-- I felt like these two were pretty evenly matched, my personal preference is Adam. I think Carlos should be on Broadway, he has a great voice. Michael chose Adam. 

Team Kelsea: Hailey Wright sang I Want to be a Cowboy's Sweetheart by Patsy Montana vs. Jaelen Johnston sang Dial Drunk by Noah Kahan-- These are two that I love in this competition. They are facing off again! I think Jaelen grew since the last round. This was a great song choice. I feel like, on the flipside, Hailey was a little pitchy and didn't grow as much. I'd go with Jaelen. Michael and Adam both felt like Hailey won this, I'm a little shocked! However, it didn't matter, Kelsea chose Jaelen. He's going to be a star in my opinion. 

Team Legend: Jacquelyn George sang Too Little Too Late by Jojo vs. Olivia Kuper Harris sang Last Dance by Donna Summer-- Loved both song choices. I think Olivia is a more polished performer but Jacquelyn improved to me, and she has great range. Olivia's performance was so strong and had lots of attitude and intention. I think I would have to choose Olivia. Adam said Olivia blew away his expectations. Kelsea loved Jacquelyn's song choice and was wowed by Olivia's strong and sexy vocal. John said Olivia's performance was confident and chose Olivia. 

Team Buble: Jadyn Cree sang Keep Holding On by Avril Lavigne vs. Kameron Jaso sang Say You Won't Let Go by James Arthur-- I was not particularly invested in this pairing. I know Michael has really liked/ pushed for Jayden since the beginning. I think ultimately, she gave the strong performance here. Michael chose Jayden.  

Team Adam: Conor James sang Forever Young by Alphaville vs. Darius Jay sang American Boy by Estelle-- This was so underwhelming! I really wanted to LOVE both of these performances. The song choices were bizarre. Michael did not like Conor's song choice. John feels Conor should be in the finale but felt Darius was more compelling today. Adam chose Conor and Kelsea stole Darius.

The Voice Season 27: These Battles Have No Ceilings

Team Kelsea: Iris Herrera vs. Simone Marijic sang Ceilings by Lizzy McAlpine-- I like both of these ladies, I think I'd lean towards Simone. The song was stunning first of all, and complimented them both beautifully. Michael complimented Iris's grit and Simone's lilt. He loved their harmonies. John loved how Simone navigated the song,  and he thought Iris's tone was glorious, he said you carry yourself with the presence of a star, stay that way, because it's compelling. Adam said it's funny I did not turn for either one of you and hearing that performance, I regret it. It is a testament to Kelsea and both of you. He said he'd choose Iris because of tone. Kelsea chose Iris and Michael stole Simone. 

Team Buble: Divighn vs. Dmitrius Graham sang Leave the Door Open by Silk Sonic-- I was expecting not to like this because Bruno Mars is such a voice and performer. I liked both of them though and felt they proved their worth. I could see either one moving forward. John gave the edge and polish too Divighn. Adam felt that it was a dead heat and did not know who to pick. Michael thanked them for tenacity and putting in the work. He said I can see that you guys both want it.  Michael chose Divighn. 

Team Adam: Trevon Dawson vs. Tayler Kae sang I'm With You by Avril Levigne-- Okay, interesting song choice, I did not think I would like it. I also felt it would be way outside of Trevon's wheelhouse as a country singer, but he made it his own and it really highlighted this complimentary part of his voice. Kelsea and Michael said that they would pick Trevon, John said he would pick Tyler. Adam chose Trevon, he was the last artist Adam chose for his team this season and I think having a country artist is appealing to him. 

Team Legend: Jay Ammo vs. Renzo sang Is This Love by Bob Marley-- I actually enjoyed both artists. Jay has great tone, his voice is pleasing to the ear. Renzo has a great energy to his voice. The coaches were mainly choosing Renzo over Jay. I didn't see a clear winner here. It will be interesting to see what happens in the knockouts. Solid song choice, John chose Renzo because he seemed the popular choice here. 

Skip.... Team Buble: Adam David vs. Ricardo Moreno sang Home by Michael Buble--  Michael chose Adam, and this battle did not come together til the end. 

Montaged battles.....

Team Legend: Jacquelyn George vs. Jordan Allen sang Islands in the Stream by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, John chose Jacquelyn

Team Kelsea: Jessica Manalo vs. Dan Kieran sang Good Luck Babe by Chappell Roan, Kelsea chose Dan

Team Kelsea: Paige Mackenzie vs. Robert Hunter sang Lies, Lies, Lies by Morgan Wallen, Kelsea chose Paige

Team Adam: Tinika Wyatt vs. Conor James sang How Deep is Your Love by The Bee Gees-- Loved both of them, I guess I wish that they had a different song, because the potential of these two vocalists is huge. Tinika is experienced and Connor is eager. Kelsea said they sing from joy. John said he is happy that Tinika is here, but he would choose Conor. Adam believes Conor could go all the way. Adam chooses Conor and Kelsea stole Tinika.
