Next week during a Battle Round NBC had a clip showing THREE coaches hitting their steal button. That’s a first and should be interesting…
Just saw Blind 6 on Hulu. Anyone notice that Livia got paired up against Terrence next week in the Battle Round? Alicia’s team is so strong. Wondering who steals Livia because she is NOT going home! Getting stolen not such a bad thing. Stolen artists finished 1-2 last season…
Here are next week’s Battle pairings:
Adam
Rayshun v. Tish
Mia v. Genesis
Drew v. Mya
Angel v. Gary
Reid v. Davison
Stephanie v. Jackie V.
Blake
Pryor v. Kaleb
Brett v. Austin
Kyla v. JessLee
Wilkes v. Jordan
Jaron v. Bransen
Spensha v. Dallas
Alicia
Jordyn v. Kelsea
Johnny v. Megan
Christiana v. Shana
Britton v. Jaclyn
Terrence v. Livia
Jamai v. Sharane
Kelly
Dylan v. Brynn
Teana v. Jamella
Justin v. Molly
Alexa v. Hannah
D.R. v. Jackie F.
Jorge v. Amber
I have 4 on my team going head-to-head with fellow teammates of mine in 2 different battles:
Spensha v. Dallas
Terrence v. Livia
That is not ideal, especially in the Battle Round.
I only have one pair pitted against one another: Alexa and Hannah.
Justin and Molly are paired, but I deleted Molly last week and feel sure Justin will win, so I’m glad I deleted her.
I have 226,000 points. I don’t tweet.
musicmom, Smart move dropping Molly who likely will get beat by Justin since Kelly is not going to hand him to Blake. However, there is a good chance that Molly will get stolen, imo, by Blake or Adam. As for my 2 “pitted” pairings: I know Livia will lose to Terrence. He’s a front runner and Alicia already has an Indie Pop singer with Jaclyn. I think Adam or Blake will steal Livia. With my other pairing, I think Spensha wins but I really do not know if Dallas gets stolen. If she does, it would likely be from Kelly who might want to add a female Country artist to go with Justin.
My only pair is also Terrence vs Livia. Like musicmom1215, I would have had Justin v Molly, but I dropped Molly in the great reshuffle. 
There is going to be a TRIPLE-STEAL during the Battle Rounds next week. Does anyone have a prediction they would like to make? Do not recall 3 coaches ever trying to steal a losing artist in the Battle Round before.
It’s very hard for me to predict who the triple-steal might be having only heard them sing once. Last season, I didn’t even remember Chloe from her blind audition, but she obviously was awesome.
I would strictly be guessing on the triple steal. I think the battles that will be the most competitive will be:
Drew v. Mya
Spensha v. Dallas
If (when) Dallas loses, I think she could realistically have the other 3 coaches all want to steal her— or not. Maybe just 1 other. But, what I see as a realistic scenario is, in the Knockout Round, Blake stealing her back!
For me, the most intriguing battle will be:
Terrence v. Livia
Intriguing because I do NOT want to see Livia go home this early. She is a top-10 in my book. Terrence is almost a lock to win, but hoping Livia ends up on Adam’s team. He did a great job with Addison last season. May have been his best coaching job ever.
Reminders:
Battles start tomorrow 3/19. Tape Idol so you don’t miss it but WATCH the battles! It’ll be interesting to see if Hannah is even on the show. Depending on which 2 coach’s teams compete tomorrow, and which of the artists, since the Battle Rounds are Monday and Tuesday— this week and next. Coaches pick the songs. Each coach gets 2 steals in this 4 episode segment. Wednesday next week will be the “Best of the Blinds and Battles” if you need or want a recap. If you are playing along, reduce your team from 12 to 8 by 3/28.
Here’s the remaining schedule for Season 14:
Knockouts start 4/2. There are 4 episodes in total over 2 weeks. Winners of Blinds go head to head, by team, and each artist picks their songs. The loser in each head to head either goes home, gets stolen. or remains— IF their coach uses their 1 save (new twist). If another coach presses their steal button for this saved artist, the artist chooses to stay or go to the new team.
Playoffs begin 4/16 (2-hour show), 4/17, and 4/18. Unlike previous 2 seasons, shows are live (except West Coast?) and America (except West Coast??) chooses top-12 for this season! Don’t forget to reduce your team to 3, from 8, by 4/19, if you are playing along!!
Edit: Your team gets LOCKED on 4/23!
4/23 Top-12 Live Shows
4/30 Top-11
5/7 Top-10
5/14 and 5/15 Top-8 Semifinals. Half go home on 5/15.
5/21 and 5/22. Top-4 Finals. Winner announced on 5/22.
If anyone talks to toledo, tell him/her I miss them this season. (Ditto for bgbg4us, bookworm, bus driver11, and swimcatsmom).
I lost one tonight (Shana) but I replaced her with Brynn. The next time I lose one, I have my eye on Tish!
musicmom, Have not seen the show on Hulu yet but heard Rayshun and Tish’s battle on iTunes. Thought I was listening to their new single on Spotify. Adding her is a smart move because she joins Brynn as Kelly’s top 2 female artists, IMO. Plus, they are totally different!
Its bad enough that The voice and AI are both on at the same time, but both got preempted tonight here by the bad weather and need to give nonstop reports. 
I did not lose anyone tonight so no changes to my team.
I only had 2 from my team competing tonight— Brynn and Christiana— and both got through. Before last season I hated when one of my teammates lost, even if they got stolen. After last season when stolen artists went 1-2, it is now no big deal.
I really enjoyed Jackie and DR’s performance in the Battle Round. Thought DR sounded so much better compared to his Blind audition. Do I think he would have gotten stolen? Probably not, even though he hit a couple really amazingly big notes. I thought Jamai’s performance OVERALL was better and, sadly, he went home. Jackie was great and really deserves to move on.
Missteps by the 2 Voice veterans: I feel Blake wasted a Battle Round save on Dylan. Time will tell. Adam should NOT have paired Rayshun and Tish this early. Weakens his team while strengthening Team Kelly.
Here’s some interesting data from those interactively participating on the Voice App during the show:
“Which team are you rooting for so far”? Answer:
Kelly 44%
Blake 25%
Alicia 19%
Adam 12%.
“What type of artist do you want to see win this season”?
Country 29% (edged R&B slightly)
R&B 29%
Pop 27%
Rock 15%
Here’s the iTunes Top-200 link at this moment:

I had 5 compete and stay. Jackie F. stayed on the triple steal.
That bumped me up to 448,000 points.
For me, 441,000 points. Let’s have 3 categories? Total points— Most correct in top-8– Order of finish in the finals.
Just saw Monday’s show on Hulu. I do miss seeing the shows live because I feel I miss being dialed in to all the timely coaching comments when selecting my team.
Not only does Jackie F. remind me of Emily Luther, they both attended Berklee AND Adam was/is both their coach. If she doesn’t make it to the Live Shows, I’m blaming Adam.
Someone else besides Kyla will emerge from Blake’s team as his #1 seed imo. Personally, I prefer Tish over Kyla. I think Spensha might be his #1 at present. If she wins her battle against Dallas or gets stolen, get ready for her to do well on the iTunes Charts singing Christian/Gospel. Pryor or Wilkes may also emerge.
Looking forward to more battles…
I like Tish a lot more than Kyla.
I only have 329,500 points.
