She calls it “iconic.”
Anyway, there are more auditions to be had and more spots on teams to be filled up.
We’re getting down to the wire, people.
Ryleigh’s voice has so much character and emotion to it; she nails the storytelling element here.
There were some sharp notes, but nothing they couldn’t work on together.
John Legend notes similar “execution issues” as to why hedidn’t turn around.
Ryleigh Plank takes the 10th spot onTeam Ariana.
Jershika Maple / 24 / Killeen, Tex.
She thinks song choice will be super important to highlight her particular skill set.
Jershika decides to joinTeam Kelly.
He has a nice pop/R&B voice, but it’s only the cowboy who turns his chair.
Blake’s pretty pumped to have someone who is a real entertainer with lots of stage presence onTeam Blake.
He really is putting together quite the eclectic bunch.
That is really cold,The Voice.
Austin is very obviously and incredibly nervous.
John suggests raising the key in a song like that because his lower register really gave his nerves away.
He thinks with a few adjustments, Austin could be great and encourages him to come back.
KJ Jennings / 21 / Austin, Tex.
John and Blake both turn, but with John’s jazz background, this seems like a no-brainer.
Blake calls out one of KJ’s runs in which she went down because it was so surprising.
He could sense some nerves but can tell KJ will be “killer” once she gets past those.
But mostly, he just enjoyed seeing how much KJ obviously enjoyed being on stage doing what she loves.
Yep, KJ joinsTeam Legend.
I mean, his musical talents are cool, too.
“I’m obsessed,” she tells her.
And that sentiment right there is what wins LiBianca over.
LiBianca goes withTeam Blake, and Ariana is shocked.
“God was speaking through our cowboy,” John Legend says.
This could be a pairing to watch out for.
Unfortunately, it seems he needs some of that on-stage experience.
He’s super nervous and lacks control.
No one pushes their button, but all the coaches give him props for being so brave.
He needs to learn how to control his voice on a stage like this.
John thinks he needs some practice and finesse, and he’ll be on his way.
Sophia, who at times sounds a little like our newest coach, joins Team Ariana.
“Shocking, party of none,” Kelly jokes, pointing out how obvious that outcome was.
Wyatt’s voice is crisp and clear, and it is perfect for this genre.
Ariana and Kelly love what Wyatt’s doing, so both press their buttons.
Blake is a fan of this genre but wanted more personality to come out of Wyatt’s voice.
The women on the panel, however, are into it.
Kelly is excited at the chance to have someone on her team who really stands out.
“No one has this vibe on the show,” she tells Wyatt.
Plus, she thinks they’d sound pretty great dueting in the lives, just FYI.
After the surgery, she was able to start singing again.
It seems like she has a cool tone, but her nerves are really apparent throughout the performance.
She doesn’t get any coaches to push their buttons.
Kelly was worried because there were a lot of pitchy moments.
Brittany Bree / 26 / Monroe, La.
The coaches always talk about dynamics, and this performance HAS IT.
Brittany earns four-chair turns.
“you could go so far,” he says.
He wants her to do it with him.
It doesn’t take too much deliberation this four-chair turn picksTeam Legend.
Throughout the episode, we also got a look at two one-chair turns.
The first is Portuguese singer Sabrina Dias singing “Garota De Ipanema” and landing onTeam Legend.
Xavier Cornell performs a cool, stripped-down version of “Teenage Dream” and earns a spot onTeam Kelly.
Kelly thinks Xavier could be a “dark horse” in the competition.
One more night of Blinds, people!
Get ready to close out these teams.
Ariana and Kelly added some welcome accompaniment, and that song DOES NOT QUIT.
