How to Vote on The Voice 16: Everything You
Need to Know
Tonight
the cross battles continue!The
remaining artists will face off: Blake has one steal,
Kelly & John each have a save. Voting is open
right now because the 16 contestants who will be competing
are already known.
Team
Adam down to 3 contestants picks first and he picks LB.
Adam challenges Kelly. OOO Kelly picks Jej, good
luck LB.LB
Crew (Team Adam) vs. Jej Vinson (Team
Kelly)
Quick
recaps of their journeys before the battle begins.
LB
starts by singing "Wade in the Water." He's really
tearing up the stage, he has a backup gospel choir.
Audience loves it. That was really good, a
little overdone but very well sung.
Jej
is up next with his smooth style. "Versace on the
Floor" He's crooning to Kelly in his trademark
style, she's dancing. Jej was a little boring after
the energy LB brought. This too was a good performance
from Jej, but a little overwhelming.
Adam
loved LB's composure, his depth, going forward, he's
blown away. Kelly tells Jej his runs are incredibly powerful
and seamless. She's so impressed. John tells
them both they are fantastic four-chair turns. His
preference was just slightly LB due to confidence and
command of the stage. Blake did not expect that level
of greatness from LB, he would give it to LB as well.
I think the audience will probably vote for Jej, due
to team KC but we'll see tomorrow!
Adam
has to pick AGAIN, and he picks Kalvin. He challenges
John Legend. (Weird that they are putting all Team up
early?) John picks Julian. Oh, this could be
good.
Kalvin Jarvis (Team Adam)
vs Julian King (Team Legend) Kalvin
is up first with New Rules. This is pretty good, he
sounds a little nervous. He has such a smooth R&B
voice, this isn't energetic but it's very passionate.
He breaks into runs, and then talks through the
rhythmic part of the song. Kind of a weird ending but
solid performance.
Team
Legend's challenger after the break!Julian
takes the stage singing Hello. Oh, an Adele song is
risky. This could be really good, or really bad.
He starts off with runs and singing in Spanish, he has
too much vibrato for my taste. Back to English for the
chorus, very strong belting, still hard to do an Adele song.
He hits some big falsetto notes, and then falls a little
flat. He's overdoing the runs a bit, and is going
off pitch. Brings it home at the end, but the middle
of that was a mess.
Adam
tells Kalvin he went to frontrunner status, he was unreal.
He has poise, turned it on its end, brand new.
John says he's happy to have Julian on his team, he
made outstanding choices. Kelly thinks there are great
singers in this building. It will come down to song
interpretation and selection, Kalvin won that a bit.
Blake thought Julian went for more then Kalvin did, he
swung for the fence. But Kalvin took that. (I
agree with the coaches Kalvin won that, Julian was a
mess).
It's
Blake's turn to choose an artist. Blake chooses
Carter Lloyd Horne and challenges John Legend. (Adam was
actually begging Blake not to pick him this time.
haha). John picks Jacob Maxwell.Carter
Lloyd Horne (Team Blake) vs. Jacob Maxwell (Team
Legend)Battle
after the break!Carter
is singing "Way Down We Go" His beginning is very
quiet and sounds off-key, might just be the volume.
This is a weird song. He has a smoky tone to his
voice, very comfortable and confident on stage. The
ladies will like this performance. He does an
interesting trill at the end of some of his words.
That was pretty decent.
Jacob
is up now with "You're Still the One."
Horrible, horrible song choice. Really boring, but he
has a good voice. Zzzzzzz this song isn't
going anywhere. He hits some big notes, but is it
enough to save this overall? He should not have tried
to sing Shania, it wasn't that good. I give this one
to Carter, personally but John is standing so maybe it's
just me.
Blake
says there is something vintage about them both. Blake
gives the audience his go back and watch Carter in the blind
auditions and see how far he's come speech. He's
got a rich, baritone voice that is so unique. John
tells Jacob he has a rich, special tone despite the lack of
fireworks. Kelly thinks they are both mysterious.
They skip Adam's comments.
Straight
ahead, Kelly is in the hot seat!Kelly
decides to hear The Bundy's harmonies. Oh wow, I
feel sorry for whoever has to go against them. She
challenges Blake, calling him Elmer Fudd. Blake picks
Andrew.The
Bundy's (Team Kelly) vs. Andrew Sevener (Team
Blake) Poor
Andrew going up against this. The
Bundy's take the stage singing "The Letter".
Very upbeat, high energy performance. The
harmonies are so good, this is well done. Solid
performance you can tell they sing together a lot.
Nicely done. Audience loved it. Kelly is
on her feet.
Andrew
is singing "Modern Day Bonnie & Clyde".
Traditional country sound, very deep, rich voice.
Demo will eat this up. Audience is on their
feet. He's awkwardly dancing while he sings, totally
comfortable. On pitch, and a lot of energy to this
performance. Big whoo at the end. Blake is on
his feet. I think Andrew will take this, but they are
both deserving.
Kelly
says the sibling harmonies of the Bundy's is just
unbelievable, beautiful. Blake tells Andrew he
strolled around the stage, and burned the place down with
his voice. Adam says Andrew acted like he was three
people up there, it was awesome. No comments from
John.
Up
next John chooses Shawn Sounds and picks on Blake too.
Blake only has two artists left and he picks Karly.
Um, bye Karly.Shawn
Sounds (Team Legend) vs. Karly Moreno (Team
Blake)Shawn
is crooning this song "Lay Me Down" to America. He
hits some deep, low notes and moves into a higher key
effortlessly. Great song choice for him, he's really
getting into it and his energy is making up for the few
missed notes. John is on his feet. Lots of runs,
and he takes off his hat as he finishes the song.
Straight
ahead… Karly…Karly
takes the stage with "Down." She doesn't have
much of a shot. Her voice is so unusual, this song is
a jazzy, subdued performance. She has an angelic yet
dark tone to her voice. It almost sounds like she is
scatting. A very solid jazz performance but has no
shot against Shawn. Weird song choice, team demo is
going to vote for Shawn over this. Blake and Adam are
both on their feet.
John
had no idea that Shawn had a baritone voice like that, it
floored him. Blake thanks Karly for bringing a breath
of fresh air, uniqueness to the show. It was her best
performance. Adam thought it was Karly's best performance
tonight, she was amazing. He loves Shawn too.
Now, Carson decides to go back to getting all 4
coaches and asks Kelly for comments. Kelly says it's
a unique pairing. She loved Shawn's
spirit.
Adam's
last artist is up! Kendra is next. He challenges
Team Legend. Jimmy is picked by Coach John.
These are some weird battle pairings.Kendra
Checketts (Team Adam) vs. Jimmy Mowery (Team
Legend)Up
next!Kendra
takes the stage first with "Cold Water." I love
the tone of her voice, good solid start. She is
killing this, hitting powerful, solid notes. Her voice
is hauntingly beautiful. Moving around the stage, and
not losing a beat. Big, big note hit perfectly, quiet
tender ending. Nice job, three coaches on their feet.
One of the better ones tonight.
Jimmy
is singing "Mercy. " Good song choice let's see what
he does with it. I don't like this guy's voice.
I'm sorry but this is horrible. It's not on
key and it sounds like he's straining his voice.
He does hit some big notes but this just sounds messy
to me. Ewww off key in the chorus too. Gets
better at the end, but overall not very good. I think
Kendra took that. But Adam and John are both on their
feet so maybe it's just me.
Adam
says Kendra has one of the most powerful, and beautiful
voices in this competition. She's amazing to watch.
John tells Jimmy he's proud of him, he made great
choices. Blake brags on Kendra. Kelly thinks
Kendra's tone is super-captivating, and the pain bleeds
through her voice. She was a surprise for Kelly
tonight.
Team
Kelly after the break (only John & Blake have artists
left).Kelly
picks Rebecca Howell, and she challenges John Legend.
John only has one artist left, and that's Beth.
Wow, poor Rebecca.Rebecca
Howell (Team Kelly) vs. Beth Griffith-Manley
(Team Legend)Oh
wow, Rebecca
is singing Shania's "Any Man of Mine." She's
got the energy and even gives a wink as she starts.
It's risky to sing an upbeat song against someone
like Beth. Will the country demo eat this up?
She hits all the big notes but does sound like she is
running out of breath in the lower parts. Long held
notes, Kelly is dancing. An interesting mix of country
twang and belting. Decent performance. But
enough Shania tonight please.
Beth
after the break… (Wow, we are running out of
time)..Beth
is next with "I Put a Spell on You." Um, yeah good
luck Rebecca. Great song choice, it fits her voice
very nicely. She has a strong, lower register and this
song shows that off as well as her richer high notes too.
She's wailing and taking this song to church.
Huge notes at the end, the audience is on their feet
as well as John. Her performance was all in, even how
she acted it out was spot on. Yeah, Beth took that.
Kelly
told Rebecca that she did a killer job, great vibrato.
John says Beth gave everything, raw energy.
Blake tells Rebecca she took that song to the next
level, and Beth was so good. Adam thinks Beth is
incredible and put on a clinic out here today. Rebecca
was the shock of the season for him, she's the strongest
country singer of the season.
Final cross battle of the seasonGyth
Rigdon (Team Blake) vs. Abby Kasch (Team
Kelly)Carson
asks Blake for his thoughts, Blake says this guy is
unbelievable. Kelly says Ms. Kasch is taking names,
and she kills this song.The
last battle after the commercial.Gyth
is singing "Goodbye Time." I'm sure this guy
will get lots of votes from the demographic. Powerful,
emotional performance. I like this better than his
last performance. A little overdone for me, but enough
to get votes. Decent job on a har song. This guy
will probably be in the finale.
Abby
is up with "Cupid's Got a Shotgun" What is with
Team Kelly doing all these upbeat songs? She has a ton
of energy and is rocking the stage. Good song to end
the night on, not sure it's enough to beat Gyth..
Weird song choice but she's doing a good job with it
overall. She performed it well. Kelly on her
feet. Blake loves the song, and he loves that he did
old school country, he's going to be in the finale (yep).
Kelly says Abby's song was in her element,
rock/country. Adam thinks Abby was fantastic, and the
only problem is that Gyth is going to be in the finale.
(haha!) Abby does not look happy that she was
paired against the golden boy. Can't say that I
blame her.
Noteworthy
that Kelly has a save, John has a steal.Oh,
shocker Brynn
Cartelli is performing AGAIN tomorrow night, they
are still pimping that girl having her back so many times
when most winners never get to come back, or maybe
once.Reminder,
voting has been open all night and the show is an hour later
tomorrow. See you then!
