How to Vote on The Voice 16: Everything You
Need to KnowIt
says previously recorded as the show comes on so apparently
it's not live tonight.  The show has never done
beatles song before and only 4 artists move on tomorrow
night.  Next week is the finale!  Voting is open
now!We go
to the coaches for comments.  Blake has 5 of the top 8,
Carson asks him what the secret is to keep his team intact.
 Blake says he was lucky to get the right team in
blinds and keep his teams in the cross battles.  Kelly
told Rod he has no pressure, she told him to go for the
message.  John wants Maelyn and Shawn to sing something
that connects to people.  They are both incredible, and
they will give emotionally compelling performances.
 Adam tells us that The Beatles are the best band ever.
 He loves listening to them.

Up first Andrew Sevener Team
Blake "Long haired country boy"The
rehearsal doesn't sound that great.  Blake says
people love to hear him whale.  Andrew tells us the
audience doesn't know Texas country music, but it's
special to him.  The song is dedicated to a friend who
passed away the few days before the battle round.  He
is the only one chair turn left.Smoke
billows up as he starts to sing.  It's Andrew wearing
a cowboy hat with his guitar standing at the mic stand.
 There's a full band backing him.  He is doing a
respectable job on this song, but I don't like it.
 He starts to move around the stage and interact with
the audience.  He adds a here we go yall before a
violin solo.  It's a rocking performance of this
country song.  That was a good performance, very strong
at the end.   The whole thing:  how much energy he
had, the smoke, the band was well done.  Kelly &
Blake on their feet, and the audience loved it.  Kelly
felt like she was at his concert, she could tell what his
record would sound like.  Cool rocked out version.
 John said he owned the song and the stage.  Adam
tells him it was his best performance.  Blake just says
Wow he doesn't know where that came from.  But it's
good that that just happend at this moment.  He
represents what country fans love- he's
authentic.
First
duetKim
Cherry Team Blake and Shawn Sounds Team Legend "Eleanor
Rigby"They
talk about a bit the song Kim said it can make you feel and
dark and cold.  The back up singers are carrying
umbrellas.  Shawn and Kim are standing by a phone booth
on the stage.  Dark lighting on the stage, and smoke
billowing on the floor of the stage.  Shawn starts off
he sounds like his usual smoky self..  Kim is straining
a bit to sing this.  Shawn adding in a ton of runs…
not loving that.  Kim adding some growling to her
voice..  This arrangement is horrible, sorry but I
don't like it.  This is kind of boring not doing
much.  Got a little sleepy there.
After
the break Gyth, and the Maelyn/Rod duet.
Team
Blake Gyth Rigdon "God Bless the USA"Um,
pandering anyone?  Blake says it's the perfect song
for this moment and for Gyth who's an all-American type of
guy.  Very patriotic, he gives a shout out to all the
military.  Gyth gives a shout out to his Dad.
 Blake says it's going to be a big moment.
 He's wearing a white jacket and has a flag scarf
wrapped around the mic, no guitar tonight.  He's
going for the full patriotic, God/Jesus song vote.
 There are some acoustic guitars and a piano but no
other music.  The girls are screaming as he gets to the
chorus.   This is one of my favorite songs, but I
don't like Gyth so that makes this hard.  He's
doing a respectable job, the twang is a little much for me.
 Not as strong as we've heard from him before but
probably enough to get tons of votes from the demo though.
Oh bring on white-clothed gospel choir.    Blake
on his feet audience cheering.  Kelly says you can't
critique the song, it was not her favorite vocal from him.
 Loves the song choice.  John says good song
choice on the day of the British invasion, he agrees it
wasn't his greatest but he loved the power and emotion.
 Blake refutes the others and says it was far and away
his best vocal performance, welcome to the finale.
 (Yep, and he didn't need to sing that
song).
Coming
up Kim with her solo and Maelyn/Rod duetThe
four finalists will each debut an original single next
week.
Up
next Team Blake again Kim Cherry "Together
Again"Blake's
not surprised she stepped up to the plate and won the
Twitter save.  She found a song that will show she is a
singer first. She's a strong woman, and this song is for
her Mom who she lost last year on Mother's Day.
 Blake expects to see her in the finale because you
will see a special side to her.  Kim is showing her
talent by starting at the piano, she's wearing a bright
orange jacket.  A little talking about mostly singing.
 She doesn't move from the pinao surprisingly, the
dancers are a little distracting.  Oh now she goes away
from the piano and she's dancing with the other dancers
while she's singing.  She knows how to perform for
sure.  This isn't the tender performance I was
expecting, but she is hitting some big notes and avoiding
rapping completely. I thought it was okay.   Audience
loved it.  Kelly thanks for her singing, she would be
so good on Broadway she has a huge voice.  John thinks
it's super cool she's wearing orange mentions her many
talents (sax, piano, rap).  Blake says let there never
be a question ever again that Kim Cherry is not a great
singer.  She couldn't have done better.
Um,
Adam has given no comments tonight.  He's not having
to do anything but sit there.
UP coming Maelyn/Rod and ANOTHER Team Blake
solo.

Duet Rod Stokes Team Kelly and
Maelyn Jarmom Team Legend "Yesterday"It's
an honor to sing Beatles.  They give some comments on
the song and they are excited to sing with each
other.There
is Maelyn and there is everyone else in this show.
 She's already so good, and he's sounding good too.
Better than the last duet for sure.  This is an
interesting arrangement, they are both bringing their own
spins and changing the melody a bit.  Maelyn especially
sounds beautiful but this is a good duet.  It's a
slow song but it's supposed to be so it works.
 Tender ending.  4 coach standing oviation they
deserved that.  It was so good.  Best performance
of the night BY FAR.
Back
to back performances by Carter and duet by Dexter &
Gyth

Carter
Lloyd Horne is up next Team Blake "Take me to
church"Video
of his Grandma giving him encouragement.  This is going
to be horrible I think based on rehearsals.  Blake says
the song is a monster and breathing is an issue.  Blake
tells him to mop the floor.  This is absolutely
terrible I mean really bad.  The key is too low or
something and he is flat.  The candles behind him will
not save him.  The effects are cool but this is not,
I'm sorry I'm trying to be nice but it's really hard
because this is just not good at all.  Thank goodness
that is finally over.  Not even Blake is standing for
that Carter looks like he knows it wasn't good.
 Kelly throws shade and says it's a cool genre, but
the song was pitchy, says don't get down on himself.
 John also says he couldn't find the key at the
beginning, it's okay he's a great singer.  Blake
tells him none of us ever want that to happen but he did
recover and he has a fanbase.
Up
next Kelly's last artist Rod Stokes "Go Rest High on
that Mountain"Rod
is the only Team Kelly artist, she thinks that he stands out
as a vocalist and a human.   Um, another pandering song
yeah this will get voted through.  He sang it at his
grandparents' funeral.  He's crying about his Mama.
 Rod is standing at the mic with his guitar, WGWG
singing about God, except he can actually sing.  He
does sound a little nervous tonight, he did on the Beatles
song too.  This isn't my favorite from him but should
be enough to get America votes I would think.  The pink
things hanging from the ceiling are weird.  He never
gets as into it as I expected but solid performance.
 Kelly on her feet.  Rod's Mom wiping tears.
 John tells him it was lovely, not technically his
best, but very strong emotionally.  Wow we hear from
Adam, he says it would a good thing for him to do this song,
a different look into who he is as a singer.  He loves
him, huge fan.  Blake loved how he connected he was to
the song, and the emotion can invade what happens
technically but emotion wins every time.. Kelly thinks they
are in sync, he has a natural ability to move
people.
Straight
ahead Gyth/Dexter duet and Maelyn solo

Duet Gyth Rigdon and Dexter
Roberts both Team Blake "Hey Jude"They
both tell us what they like about the song, it's the
meaning of hope.  They are both wearing black jackets
and it's just the two of them on the stage.  The
camera angle is weird.  This is really boring, just
them both standing at the mic.  Oh I spoke too soon the
stage opens and they are both walking and singing now.
 And now white clothed back up singers, this is an okay
performance but so far most of these have been pretty
boring.  This one is too.
Maelyn
is up next followed by Andrew/Carter duetMaelyn
Jarmon Team Legend "Stay"Maelyn
was the only artist to get a top 10 in Itunes last week.
 Maelyn thinks the song is a big risk, she is tearing
up talking about her parents and what making the finale
would mean.  John says Maelyn is a real artist who
understands how to really arrange songs, and applies her own
vision to the song.  She is looking beautiful in a red
dress, dark staging.  Something about the way she sings
and interprets a song just kills me.  She sounds a
little more forced tonight then usual, but the
interpretation is beautiful..  A little screechy too
but she also has some really powerful moments..  She
has so much control and really acted out that song with her
voice.  There's Maelyn and there's everybody else
she is just so far out of everyone else's league.  4
coach standing ovation.  Adam says she was amazing, she
would win The Voice.  She embodies what the show is
about, she's the best singer we have right now.
 Blake says it's hard to find new great things to say
about her, her control, her poise, she's spot on every
time.  Kelly loved the lack of control on purpose she
played characters, it was her favorite performance.
 John said she took risks, and she nailed it.
Duet:
 Carter Lloyd Horne and Andrew Sevener Team Blake
"Help"Comments
about the song and what it means to them, they are trying to
be corny but it's not working.  Ooo neon stage floor
for this one, what is Carter wearing?  This is actually
better then some of the others tonight, Andrew in particular
sounds really good.  The staging was good, the
performance was pretty good too.  It's just hard to
hear all these country dudes singing the icons.
Coming
up Dexter and Shawn Sounds closes the nightDexter
Roberts Team Blake "Here without
You"He
picked an unexpected song choice.  He wanted to show
everyone that he can be different, he wanted to take a
chance.   A few months ago he was driving a rock truck
and now he's here.  He wants a big family someday.
 Rehearsals sound good.  Blake says good
connections and good vocals he thinks Dexter will be in the
finale.  (Wouldn't it be a kick if it's all Team
Blake in the finale?)  Dark lighting again, he is
standing at the mic with his guitar.  This is really
good, he is showing all the good parts of his voice, it's
on the pitch.  The arrangement is boring but this will
be popular with the audience.  He's hit some big
notes and also shown his tender side..  Very good
performance.  One of the best of the night, he might
pull an upset.  Kelly loves his voice, she thought it
was smart to step outside of the country genre.  Blake
thinks it was a good choice as well, his voice is one of his
favorites.  It cuts through so good.
Shawn
Sounds closes the show when we come back…Shawn
Sounds Team Legend "A Song for You"He is
singing this for his students.  Oh this is a good song.
 With him being the last R&B soul singer on the
show he decided to take on the challenge.  John says
he's a force to be reckoned with.  This was a good
song choice for him, he sounds really good.  The
staging is a keyboard on the floor and he's wearing a cool
hat.  His lower range is so good, he is overdoing the
runs abit but this is still good.  He has a mellow
R&B voice that can also wail.  John is on his feet.
 He never really gets as it into as I expected but
definitely one of the best tonight.  Also 4 coach
standing O as he hits a huge high note at the end.
 Adam thanks Shawn for putting on a singing clinic for
everybody here tonight, it was the craziest performance of
the night.  Heartfelt.  Kelly says Maelyn is so
great, and he heard that and came out and just sang his tail
off.  John says now that Shawn gave the best two
performances of the show.  Why do they keep bringing
Maelyn up in Shawn's comments?  WTH?  He says he
is lucky to have them both.
