I just got a tweet “likes” from Shana and DR. Re. Shana, I basically said that she lost by a “hair follicle” to Christiana, my “#1 seed in the tournament” and why didn’t anyone steal her? DR liked a very generic tweet I posted, Have never had an artist like my tweet to/of them before. Neither was on my team so unable to tweet them on the Voice App EXCEPT during their performance.
musicmerit, You have Reid and Davison on your team last time I looked. Just saw their battle on nbc.com. Reid KILLED it! I think he wins their battle tonight…
I do! I am going to have trouble cutting my team to 8 if they all keep winning! But maybe Davison will be let go so one less decision to make.
Here are tonight’s pairings (again) and, now, song choices (in no particular order):
Kelly
Amber v. Jorge, Starving by Hailee
Jamella v. Teana, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow by Carole King
Alicia
Johnny v. Megan, Versace on the Floor by Bruno Mars
Jordan v. Kelsea, Don’t Let Go by En Vogue
Blake
Bransen v. Jaron, Head Over Boots by Jon Pardi
Adam
Davison v. Reid, Love on the Brain by Rihanna
They are up on iTunes if you want to hear the teasers.
Just watched the NBC.com clips. I did not even recognize Kelsea’s voice from that full, rich, and round Blind audition of hers. Is she sick or does she have laryngitis? Johnny Bliss got montaged… are you kidding me??? Similar to Emily Luther getting montaged last season in her battle— I think.
They talked about Kelsea’s voice being overworked. Apparently she is not used to singing for hours and not getting enough rest. I can’t see it getting any easier for her.
Sorry to see Davison go home so soon. He deserved to go to the Knockouts, as did Shana on Monday.
Only had one artist on my team competing Tuesday (Johnny) who is moving on. Battles are half over yet I still have 9 competing next week. Terrence and Livia, Spensha and Dallas, going head-to-head. Here is a recap of the coach steals (given 2) in the Battle Round:
Adam: stole Jackie F. and Jordyn— No steals remaining (in this round)
Blake: stole Dylan— 1 steal remaining
Kelly: stole Tish— 1 steal remaining
Alicia: Both steals remaining
I think the loser on Blake’s team between Spensha and Dallas gets stolen by Alicia. Even if Dallas loses, which is very likely, I think Alicia steals her because Kelly already has THE top Country artist on her team with Justin. EDIT: But, then I think Blake either steals her back in the Knockouts OR gets Jackie Verna. Some way or another he gets a female Country artist. I am hoping Livia also gets stolen if (more like when) she loses to Terrence. Here is my current team (name and days, but not in ranking order):
Brynn 23
Justin 23
Christiana 16 (My #1 seed)
Johnny 16
Terrence 15
Gary 9
Jaclyn 8
Livia 8
Drew 23
Dallas 8
Spensha 5
Pryor 5
544,000 points
Here is the link to the current iTunes Top-200 rankings:

I have 562,000 points. Many of mine already battled. Here they are, also in no particular order.
Kyla and Brynn 23
Reid, Christiana and Jackie F. 16
Terrence and Alexa 15
Hannah 8
Justin 23
Jaclyn 22
Sharane 8
Tish 1
Remaining Monday 3/26 and Tuesday 3/27 Battles. Not sure who is battling on each day:
Adam
Drew v. Miya (Miya gets stolen by Kelly?)
Gary v. Angel
Genesis v. Mia
Stephanie v. Jackie V.
Blake
Austin v. Brett
Wilkes v. Jordan
Pryor v. Kaleb
Spensha v. Dallas (loser gets stolen by Alicia?)
Alicia
Terrence v. Livia
Britton v. Jaclyn (loser gets stolen by Blake?)
Kelly
Alexa v. Hannah (Rumor: Hannah already left show. Alexa moves to KO Round)
Justin v. Molly
First name listed is who I think will win, except in the battles between Britton v. Jaclyn and Spensha v. Dallas, which are more of a toss up, imo. Regrettably, I think Livia will NOT make it to KO Round, even though she is in on my team but moved to my bottom 4. I am so disappointed that Jaclyn chose Alicia as her coach. If it turns out that she keeps Britton, then her whole fondness of these Indie artists is a bunch of BS!
And if Blake should keep Spensha and Alicia steals Dallas, Dallas WILL lose in the KO Round because she is a countrified version of an Indie artist and Alicia is obviously not a big fan of that genre (in letting 3 of them go). I just hope Blake steals Dallas back in the KOs. Or gets Jackie V… Or gets Justin (try not to laugh on that one).
Too late to edit but a much more satisfying scenario with Dallas would be for Alicia to want to keep Dallas after her KO performance but Dallas decides to go with Blake, who wants to steal her.
I think Jackie V. wins her battle against Stephanie. Put it in the wrong order in post #5968.
Confirmed battles and songs performed for Monday 3/26:
Britton v. Jaclyn, Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran, Team Alicia
Drew v. Miya, Knocking On Heaven’s Door by Bob Dylan, Team Adam
Genesis v. Mia, Because of You by Kelly Clarkson, Team Adam
Wilkes v. Jordan, Nobody To Blame by Chris Stapleton, Team Blake
Justin v. Molly, Burning House by Cam, Team Kelly
Pryor v. Kaleb, Don’t Do Me Like That by Tom Petty, Team Blake
Since I am convinced Alicia really does not like “small voice singers”, I am hoping that Blake uses his final steal on Jaclyn. Adam does not have a steal left in the Battle Round to use, or he would also be interested. I really fell in love with her after watching/listening to her YouTube covers.
The Drew v. Miya Battle was incredible— at least in the Sneak Peek on nbc.com.
I can’t give spoilers, but I find myself clapping when I get the outcome I want. Is that weird?
Nice to see some steals.
I won all my battles tonight. =D>
I didn’t lose anyone either. I am going to have trouble deciding who to cut from my team. I have 713,500 points.
I had 4 on my team competing, 3 won and 1 (Jaclyn) was stolen.
I think Genesis relies on her growl too much. Didn’t feel authentic to me (in her Blind or Battle). Mia probably facing Jackie F. next week in the KOs and going home.
Surprised that Adam thinks Pryor will be in the finals. He’s on my team and I’m not even sure he’ll make the Live Shows.
I liked Molly so much more tonight than in her Blind but, unlike Justin, I don’t see her getting much better so Kelly made the right choice. Thought Blake was trying to steal Justin by saying he thought Molly won the battle!
I actually think Miya has a chance of upsetting Kelsie (if that’s who she goes up against) in the KOs, especially if she goes the Rock route as Adam suggested to Alicia.
I’m really starting to appreciate Wilkes. Cool vibe and confidence. He could surprise.
I’m happy for Jaclyn but not ready to put her in my Top-8 until after I hear teammates Spensha and Dallas on Tuesday. I still think Alicia steals the loser of that battle. She is the only coach with a steal left.
Here are the current iTunes duet rankings from Monday’s show:
http://www.popvortex.com/music/charts/itunes-voice-rankings.php
musicmerit, 693,000. Signed, the Tweeter Cheater
582,500 points without really trying. I’m a slacker. ha
Confirmed battle pairings and songs tonight, not necessarily in this order:
Gary v. Angel, When You Believe by Moriah Carey and Whitney Houston (Team Adam)
Alex v, Hannah (or the vocal coach?), Pray by Kesha (Team Kelly)
Austin v. Brett, Me and Mrs. Jones by Billy Paul (Team Blake)
Spensha v. Dallas, I Could Use A Love Song by Maren Morris (Team Blake)
Jackie V. v. Stephanie, These Dreams by Heart, Team Adam)
Terrence v. Livia, Stars by Grace Potter (Team Alicia)
I have 5 team members competing tonight, the last Battle Round of the season. Alicia has the ONLY steal remaining, so that means someone very worthy of sticking around will be going home. Since her coach is Alicia, the only way she would be moving on to the Knockouts is if she beat Terrence… and that isn’t going to happen.
Assuming Spensha wins, and Alicia saves Dallas, and Adam chooses Jackie V., this will be the only season I recall that ever had a Country artist on every team heading into the Knockouts. You could even make a strong argument that Blake, Mr. Country himself, does NOT really have a true Country artist this season— perhaps another first, especially considering all the others do.
