I lost Stephanie tonight but replaced her with Tish. I am just leaving my top 8 the way I placed them to start with:
Britton 30
Drew 30
Justin 29
Johnny 21
Terrence 21
Jackie F 21
Brynn 9
Tish 1
That means I have no one from Team Blake.
I lost Livia. Played along on the Voice App WITHOUT CABLE OR SATELLITE (my wife thinks I’ve lost my mind). It was surprisingly close between her and Terrence and then 70% of America said they would steal her. She absolutely could not have picked a worse coach. Especially given the fact that her coach was the only one who had a steal left. It didn’t help Livia’s chance for a lifeline when Kelly stole Kaleb on Monday.
We West Coasters, like me, are crying foul on the day counts. The most possible days we can accumulate as of Tuesday night is 29. Let’s see if we show 30 come Wednesday morning and you Mid or East Coasters still show 30. Here is my Top-8. I have 2 each per team:
Brynn 29
Justin 29
Drew 29
Christiana 22
Terrence 21
Gary 15
Spensha 14
Pryor 12
Here is the current iTunes Top-200 link:

Let’s post our point totals in the morning. Misplayed my hand. Took Pryor off my team, then put him back on. Decided too late on Spensha. If Dallas was still on Blake’s team, I would have opted for her instead of Spensha. He could still get Dallas back in the KOs. Each coach will get 1 steal plus 1 save of a team member. This is in lieu of a coach comeback artist.
I also have two from each coach. I have 841,500 points. I do play along on the app while watching the show.
Brynn, Justin and Kyla 30
Jaclyn 29
Reid, Christiana and Jackie F. 23
Terrence 22
My team did very well in this round!
832,000 points. My day counts on my artists now match musicmom and musicmerrit with 30, 23, and 22.
Our teams overlap, yet different enough to make our Top-8 battle interesting. Musicmom has Britton. Musicmerit has Reid. I have Spensha, Pryor, and Gary, but not Jackie F. and Kyla. Edit: I let Gary and Jaclyn go (kept Johnny, 23 days.) The one I wish I had from the start (and kept) was Britton.
I hope others not playing on the Voice App still post their Top-8 and Top-3, when the time comes.
Since I have no one from Blake’s team, I am hoping he ends up stealing one of mine. Oh well, couldn’t think of anyone I really wanted to eliminate.
I actually thought Livia won that battle with Terrence. He is great, but I thought she outshone him last night.
717,500 points.
I just watched the show on Hulu on my headphones. I completely agree that Livia was better. Terrence took a big step backwards from his Blind audition, imo. He was actually pretty shaky in parts. Such a shame that Livia went home way earlier than she should have. Would not be a bit surprised if there’s a new twist next season where the coach can use their save in the Battles. If there was to be a coach comeback, she would be it!
If I could start my team over, I would choose Jorge over Johnny. I think he is the better choice overall. I would also have found a spot for Wilkes, Jackie F. and, as already mentioned, Britton. I think all 4 of these artists are in the Top-12.
Ya’ll still listening to music and enjoying The Voice!
PS Hello to all my “oldtimers” friends!
Xiggi, Knock me over with a feather why don’t you? What a most pleasant surprise. I know I speak for many by saying it is so great to hear from you. I was just thinking about you within the past couple of days when it was announced that your favorite winner of all time, Cassadee Pope was going to be a guest mentor for Team Kelly! (For those of you who don’t know Xiggi, he did not like her very much.)
@xiggi, are you “taking your coat off and staying awhile,” or is this a quick drive by? I hope life is going well for you in any case.
I fired up my old computer at my parents’ house, and the login was still on! Things could not go any better in real life, but not much time to voice my public opinion about Cassadee Pope, my favorite cruise ship artist. 
Glad life is treating you well, xiggi. Hope you have time to weigh in on this season’s crop of crooners— good, bad, or indifferent!
This is for xiggi:
The Knockouts start Monday 4/2 for 2 weeks and 3 total episodes. If you recall, this is where 2 artists from one team perform a song of their choosing. While one performs the other sits and watches. In addition to the normal one steal each coach receives in this round, each coach also gets a save. If the save is used by a coach on their own team member, that artist is not eliminated BUT, if another artist presses their steal button, that saved artist can opt to stay with their current coach OR change coaches. Because of this new twist, only 8 performers will be going home during the Knockout segment.
This season has alot of artists with big, rangy voices. Might be the best season ever for this type of artist. On the other end of the spectrum, Country artists are in rather short supply. At the moment, Blake is without a true Country singer while the other coaches all have at least one. Overall, a nice eclectic mix of talent. Very strong top to bottom, imo, of at least the top-24 or so.
Hey Xiggi! Great to hear from you. How is married life treating you? I think of you every time one of the contestants does a strange kick, remembering how you hated that. (Me, too.)
Yes, it’s nice to read you are doing great! I always worry when people haven’t been heard from in a long time, because sometimes the reason is sad. Very glad to hear that life has been good to you! 
The Leaked Knockout between Jackie F. And Mia Boostrom is up on nbc.com. If Adam thought Mia would be fodder for Jackie F., she definitely wasn’t (imo). I don’t necessarily see Adam saving Mia but I will be very surprised if she isn’t stolen. She’s been flying under my radar up until now but not any longer. Both Mia and Miya, one-chair turners in the Blinds, are on the rise and this could really shake things up if both are still hanging around in the Knockouts and in the Playoffs.
Wow. They were both great! At this point, some very talented folks will be going home since there is a limited number of saves and steals.
@xiggi, so glad you popped in. Enjoying this season for sure! Hope Mia hangs around for a while. Britton is so dang cute.
Here are some of the matchups and song choices for the Knockouts, night 1 of 3. It is an incomplete listing of those competing on tonight’s show. Kyla (Team Blake), Johnny (Team Alicia) and Kaleb (Team Kelly), were not paired up yet at the time of this posting. Next week there will be a Knockout on Monday with another recap show on Tuesday. Don’t forget: besides the usual 1 steal, there is 1 save that each coach can use to save one of their own in any given matchup during these Knockout rounds.
