Part 2 – Live Blog and Videos 04/01/2019 by Dana Meyers

The
Voice season 16 Battle Rounds continue tonight. The
coaches will prepare their teams to do battle with the help
of celebrity advisors. Adam
Levine will work with pop hit maker Charlie
Puth, iconic country duo Brooks
and Dunn will join forces with Blake
Shelton, Kelly
Clarkson has invited tour mate Kelsea
Ballerini to help out, and R&B producer/artist
Khalid
will lend a hand to new kid on the block, John
Legend. Carson
Daly serves as host.

Team mates are paired up to perform duets.
Afterward, the singers' respective coaches choose a winner
who will move on to the next round. The loser is eliminated
UNLESS they are stolen by a fellow coach. Each coach gets 2
steals.The
coaches are ready for the continuation of the battle rounds.
 Superstar advisors:  Charlie Puth, Kelsea
Ballerini, Brooks & Dunn, and Khalid are back in the
house.   It's the most intense battles yet! It all
starts now!The
guys are making fun of Adam's bright orange pants.
 (They are pretty weird).  Ronald McDonald called
he wants his pants back Blake says.  Haha!Up
first, Team Adam

Karly
Moreno vs Celia Babini Friends by Anne-Marie and
MarshmelloKarly
says it's a whole another level to get to work with Adam
and Charlie.  Adam says they have opposite voices.
 Karly lives in CA and grew up with rock band Mom.
  Celia's parents are both in arts, and she's in
High School in New York.  Adam picked the song for the
power for Celia and the grace for Karly.  Celia has an
indy voice Charlie says.  He says Karly sounds like
Ellie Goulding.  Adam and Charlie suggest that they
meld into each other.  Karly is nervous going against a
four-chair turn in Celia.  Celia says Karly's voice
is like honey and sunshine.  Celia is
practicing at stage rehearsals in what looks like a
sparkly bathrobe.  Adam tells them everyone is going to
love the performance.  Team hug!  This is not
going to be easy for Adam.Celia
is wearing the same bathrobe looking thing for the battles
and Karly has a black hat on.   They start facing each
other in unison.  Karly's voice is up first.
 They are both comfortable up them and they both have
distinct voices.  Honestly, this is a little boring,
it's not doing much for either of them.  Celia has a
deeper indy voice, and Karly has a more angelic, yet
distinct tone.  Celia wails a bit, and then Karly hits
some bigger notes.  They end facing each other.
 No real break out moments for either, I would go with
Karly cause I prefer her voice more but Adam will probably
pick Celia.  Blake
says they are very different, Celia sounded too much like
Florence and the Machine.  Karly displayed holy
crapiness because Blake didn't expect her to step up like
that.  Kelly says Celia has an urban tone to her
Florence, and Karly has a chill vibe.  John tells them
they are both different, and they executed it with skill.
  Now on to Adam.  Adam thinks they are both
world-class, but Karly shocked him in ways he wasn't
expecting.  Celia is shining and sparkly all the time.
The
winner of this battle is Celia!  (Called it,
knew he wouldn't give up a four-chair turn).   Karly
appreciates Adam for taking the time to work with her and
he's made her feel good about herself.  As Karly is
leaving the stage thinking she's eliminated.  Blake
hits his button.  We
have a steal!  Blake says Karly has something
about her voice that he really liked, it's warm and
there's no one like her in the competition.  Karly
Moreno is now Team Blake!
Adam
tells Blake he's awesome.  Adam is so happy that
Karly got saved.Short
commercial break and we're back to the battles!Let's
check in with Team Legend..

Julian
King vs. Denton Arnell Grenade by Bruno
MarsHe
was in China performing at hotels.  Just got back to
the States, John used his block to keep Adam from getting
him.  Denton is the contestant who proposed to his
girlfriend after he made a team.  Julian respects
Khalid so much.  Dang, they have to sing a Bruno song.
 John thinks they both have the versatility for this
song.  Khalid likes Julian's tone, it's the money.
 He likes Denton's personality, and he was connected
to his voice.  Khalid is looking for more emotion, and
John wants to see the passion and longing.  Make them
feel the pain.  Denton is singing the song for his
fiance.  Khalid says it will come down to who invokes
the most emotion.  Julian is tender and vulnerable, but
Denton has more raw power, and for John it will come down to
comparing the two styles.Get
the voice app and see the battle after the break!They
are standing at the mics with low lights.  This
stylistically is not what I was expecting.  Denton
starts with the first solo and then Julian gets his chance.
 Denton puts more runs as he moves around the stage.
 Julian is using literal gestures in some place.
 Runs by both now.  This is pretty even, but it
never really get any energy.  They are trying to outrun
each other at the end.  John's on his feet.  I
can't pick a winner that was pretty even.  Adam
says it was really hard because they were even, and Denton
was just slightly more consistent.  Blake mentions
there was one moment that separated them and it was the run
that Julian did.  Kelly discusses Julian's run, and
says Denton can sing just as well.  John is proud of
them, because they made him look cool.  He liked the
runs together.  He believes they both belong on the
show… the
winner of this battle is Julian!  He made that
decision for his range and the interesting tone of his
voice.  (Not surprised given the other coaches
comments).  Denton thanks John for the opportunity and
the most amazing experience of his life.  Denton
Arnell is eliminated.  John thinks Julian's
voice is exciting.
Stay
tuned to see if Denton gets picked for the Comeback
Stage!Let's
check in with Team Kelly and Kelsea Ballerini…

Presley
Tennant vs Rizzi Myers Whataya Want from Me by Adam
Lambert  Presley
and Rizzi both have big, dynamic voices.  Rizzi loves
Kelsea's songs and positive energy.  Rizzi is a
full-time Mom and songwriter.  She thanks Kelly for
putting her up against a 16 year old super model.
 Haha!  Kelly used her block on Rizzi so she wants
to live up to that.  Presley is a Junior in High School
at a small town, she's a tomboy and started singing around
10.  The first song she ever sang at a competition was
a Kelly Clarkson song.  They got a big Adam Lambert
song, because they can handle it.  Rizzi can run, belt
and bring it down.  Presley has a contained personality
that comes out when she sings.  Kelsea says they have
sass in rehearsals.  Kelly tells them not to
over-dramatize it.  The performance will come down to
who's going to be in the song.  Based on rehearsals
it's going to be good!Commercial…
 Commercial for free pie and now I'm
hungry.Kelly
tells John she messed up as they take the stage.  They
are both dressed in black, and they both sound really good.
 Presley is holding her own against a more experienced
Rizzi.  It starts off a little subdued, but it picks up
quickly.  Tons of energy, and flashing lights.
 They face each other and grasp hands.  As they
move around the stage they both have a chance to shine and
belt.  They are trying not to outdo each other, Rizzi
runs at the end and big note at the very end from both.
 Kelly is on her feet.  That was good, I would
give a slight edge to Rizzi but it was close.
 John
tells them they were both outstanding, their interaction and
vibe.  He loved Rizzi mid-range and her confidence, and
Presley's high notes at the end were more exciting.
 He picks Presley.  Adam is more curious about
Presley's roughness, but he would go with Rizzi because
she's ready to do this right now.  Blake says Rizzi
delivered with power and conviction and Presley hammered it
more home for him he would go with her.  Kelly has no
idea what name she's going to say.  They both have
incredible ranges.  The winner of this battle
is….ANOTHER
COMMERCIAL (way to drag this out TPTB)!The
winner of this battle is… Presley!  (Wow, a
little surprised!)  Kelly says it was really hard but
Presley's growth will be insane.  Rizzi says it was
an honor to have Kelly as a coach.  Rizzi
Myers is eliminated.  (Wow no
steal??)
Will
Rizzi be the next artist to join the comeback
stage?John
says he was close to stealing.  Kelly says Rizzi was
one of her favorites but Presley just shocked her.

Moving
on to Team Blake…Dexter
Roberts vs.  Dalton Dover "Hurricane by Luke
CombsDexter
grew up listening to Brooks & Dunn, they are some of his
idols.  Dexter is from Alabama, true country boy, who
got an illness from a tick.  This is his return to
music.  Dalton comes from a small town, and dropped out
of school in 11th grade when he had a baby.  He wants
to make his kids and his wife proud.  Blake them a
current, popular song so they could show their relevance.
 They have great ranges.  Dexter has a big voice
that pushes.  Dalton is singing harmony, but they need
to hear him more.  The arrangement isn't quite there
yet.  The song needs more balance according to Brooks
& Dunn.  Blake is happy at stage rehearsals.
 Blake thinks they are both current, hard decision for
him coming up.Battle
starts after break…Oh
boy battle of two WGWG's.  Both standing at mic
stands wearing leather jackets and playing acoustic guitar.
 Dexter's voice is stronger, but Dalton has a really
nice tone.  They both are putting the required amount
of twang for a team Blake battle.  Dalton is surprising
here since he had so much trouble in the rehearsal with the
melody.  They both sound strong and have moments to
shine.  They were both good, but I would give it to
Dalton because he is a little different from how he arranges
and the notes he chooses.  Have a feeling Blake will go
with Dexter.  Let's
see what the coaches think.  Kelly thinks it was pretty
even.  She loved Daltons' rasp and Dexter's
straight up country sound.  She gives it to Dexter.
 John says they sounded great together, he liked
Dalton's voice better, but Dexter showed more skill.
 Adam complimented how they put the song together.
 Dalton is slightly less experience, Dexter is
technically more there.  Blake tells them they both did
a great job and it's a literally sucky moment.  He
could hear each of them sing individually.  The
winner of this battle is….. Dexter!  Dalton
thanks Blake for everything he's taught them.  Blake
picked Dexter because he is an energetic, traditional
country singer.  Dalton
Dover is eliminated.  

Adam's
next battle of the night is up!Ciera
Dumas vs LB Crew Done for Me by Charlie
PuthCiera
has a presence, she cuts and LB has power.  They
compliment each other.  Ciera was voted most likely to
win The Voice in High School.  She moved to Nashville
and has been pursuing music.  LB is doing this for his
baby brother who was diagnosed with a serious illness last
year.  He was a four-chair turn.  This is an odd
pairing.  Adam gave them a Charlie song to sing in
front of Charlie.  It's a really hard song too.
 Why did Adam give them this hard of a song?  LB
makes a song arrangement suggestion..Commercial…Ciera
opens the battle with an ooo, the lights are dim.
 She's wearing a red sparkly dress.  LB is
wearing a leather jacket.    Sparkles and leather
are the themes tonight.  They are both so different.
 LB is really singing his heart out, but Ciera has such
an interesting voice.  Both are comfortable performers.
 LB goes into falsetto and Ciera has a little grit in
her voice.  Adam's team is good this year..
 This was good.  I think LB will win but it was
close.  Adam
and Kelly are on their feet.  Blake tells Adam this was
a huge mistake like Adam's pants.  Haha!  Blake
says these two artists are great.  They all expected LB
to sing the crap out of that song, Ciera had a stage
presence and confidence, and her voice shreds.  Blake
tells Adam good luck.  Kelly says she expected LB to be
amazing, but Ciera had a passionate, sexy rasp.  John
loves both their energy, they looked and sounded cool.
 LB reminds him of gospel singer so he leans more
towards him..  Adam wanted to trust them and they did a
beautiful job.  My gut still says Adam is picking LB.
 The
winner of this battle is….
LB!  Yep, not surprised four-chair turn.
 Adam says there's just something about LB, his
energy, his voice he had to stay with him.  Ciera tells
Adam it's been incredible coming to this point. Ciera
Dumas is eliminated.  Man, some good peeps
have gone home tonight.
The
ComeBack Stage artist is Ciera!  BeBe says
Ciera deserves a second chance.  Tune in on youtube and
the voice app to see who Ciera will battle.

Checking
in on Team BlakeKim
Cherry vs. Kendra Checketts – Here by Alessia
CaraMakes
no sense that either of them picked Blake as his coach.
 Kim Cherry is a rapper, and it makes her feel strong.
 She was involved in music in High School, it comes
naturally to her.  Kendra's parents got her cardboard
cut out of Blake for Christmas as a joke.  She's a
natural redhead (hair is dyed black).  She's been
really into music since a fourth-grade talent show.
 The song chosen is a good blend of rap, singing, and
pocket.  They have similarities in their voices, Kim is
more percussion and Kendra is more smooth.  They have
individual personalities but similar instincts.  Blake
likes Kim's confidence and fearlessness, and Kendra has
sweetness and powerfulness in her voice.  The stage
rehearsal is good, Blake tells them they are magical
together and he expects a Kelly Clarkson stand up.Coming
up an amazing battle that leads to a double
steal!!They
both start off really good.  Kim has such a strong,
pronunciation and Kendra has a deep, sweet voice.  They
are tearing up the stage.  Kim has such a good sense of
timing, and Kendra's voice is so powerful.  NO
rapping from Kim, instead she belts, and then Kendra belts.
 (No stand up from Kelly yet).  That was really,
really good.  John & Blake on their feet.  I
think Kim took that one.  Kelly
said she loved the sass.  Kendra's voice is more
powerful then she remembered, Kelly says the song is catered
to Kim because she's good at the quickness.  John
says they both executed well, it was flawless.  Adam
tells Kim she has more power volume-wise, they were both
superb.  Blake says imagine me and Brooks & Dunn
trying to coach these two…  You have to be talented
to do that song, you have to have pitch, pocket, and
personality and they both brought passion.  Blake makes
his gut decision… the
winner of this Battle is….
Kim!  (Not surprising).  Blake says there
is something about Kim that is electric but Kendra gives the
performance of a lifetime.  Before Carson even gets it
out of his mouth we have a DOUBLE
STEAL!  Adam and John both hit their buttons.
 Adam tells Kendra he thinks she's the winner.
 She has an effortless consistency and power and he
wants to hear more.  John says his metric is that she
belongs on his team and she would be one of the best singers
on it if she joins them.  Adam adds he thinks she can
go all the way.  Carson asks who does she pick as her
new coach.  Kendra tells them she looks up to them
both, but her new coach is Adam!  Adam
steals Kendra and she is now Team Adam!  Adam
says Kendra is different for him, he thought she won the
battle and he used his last steal.

In two weeks… a twist no one will see
coming!Next

rounds!Quick
