The Voice Season 27: Some of these choices are "impossible" in the Knockout round

Team Legend: BD:ii sang Back at One by Brian McKnight vs. Kolby Cordell sang Lately by Stevie Wonder-- I love Kolby but I don't think this song helped his case, he was way too pitchy. BD, although not as good as he normally is, beat Kolby in my opinion. I don't think he had the right song either, Back at One didn't fit him. John liked Kolby's soulful, raspy voice (similar to his), and had concerns about BD's song choice but felt it turned out well. John chose BD and Michael and Adam attempted a steal for Kolby. Kolby chose Adam. 

Team Adam: Grace Miller Moody sang Dreams by Fleetwood Mac vs. Lucia Flores Wiseman sang Slow it Down by Benson Boone-- Okay, so unpopular opinion probably, but I liked Grace better than Lucia. I found her performance more relatable. Lucia displays great artistry but I don't hear her words as well. I agree with the comparisons to Amy Winehouse. Of course, Adam chose Lucia. 

Team Kelsea: Tinika Wyatt sang Best of my Love by The Emotions vs. Dan Kiernan sang Impossible by Shontelle-- Tinika was a given, but Dan was a surprise. I found myself moved by his performance of Impossible. This one was a too close to call for me. Kelsea said she feels a connection to Dan but that as a coach, Tinika is a joy. Kelsea chose Tinika. 




Team Buble: Barry Jean Fontenot sang Haven't Met You Yet by Michael Buble vs. Simone Marijic sang She Used to Be Mine by Sara Bareilles--  I have to go with Barry here, I think he is an unrealized talent. When he finally does realize it, look out. Simone is great as well, but I don't think this was the greatest song choice for her, and so.... Michael chose Barry Jean. 

Team Adam: Ethan Eckenroad sang I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty vs. Trevon Dawson sang Red Dirt Road by Brooks and Dunn-- I enjoy both of these artists but I didn't think the song choice highlighted Ethan's voice in the way it needed to be. Trevon, I feel like, is probably the best country artist in the competition this year. Unfortunately though, justice won't be done to see him perform again. Adam picked Ethan and Trevon was sent packing. 

Team Kelsea: Iris Herrera sang Jolene vs. Angie Rey sang Dirt Cheap by Cody Johnson-- I love Iris's tone, she's incredible, a little diamond in the rough. Oh wow, I love how rich Angie's voice is. John found Iris compelling and Angie centered and spiritual. Adam said Angie has experienced the most growth, they all wanted Iris from the beginning. Kelsea chose Iris and Michael stole Angie. This was the perfect solution.

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.
