No spoilers, but I’m agreeing with the judges’ choices. I was surprised by a save.
One of my favorites really stunk tonight and is going home. Another, who was not really on my radar, was terrible, too, and is also going home. Really want to name names but won’t spoil it.
I lost two tonight. Was more interested in the basketball game though. I picked Nova to win it all from the beginning!
musicmerit, I also had ‘Nova to win!
Lost one—Justin. His song choice was awful but since I have not watched the show on Hulu yet I do not know if Kelly was fully on board with it or not. Justin is a low to mid range singer and when he goes up high he gets very nasally and pitchy. That last note of his wasn’t even a note but a shouting sound, imo! Kaleb clearly outsang him and Justin was so bad I can honestly see why Blake didn’t use a steal on him.
I am hoping Blake might steal Dallas back from Alicia when she loses to Britton. But, Sharane also looms large as a possible steal as well.
Drew had his worst performance so far but glad he is going to stick around and, hopefully, strip it down in his next performance.
America picked Mia over Jackie F. and Jackie V. over Drew on the Voice App during the show tonight.

Jackie F, Christiana, Reid 29
Terrence 28
Kaleb, Mia 1
Just saw the show on Hulu…
Adam let Miya go in the Battles and right after Alicia stole her he said to Alicia “keep her in Rock”. That was great advice. Too bad it wasn’t followed. Thought Miya’s song choice was too Pop-ish. She should have picked a Rock song with more edge to it.

Edit: Oh yes, points. Well musicmerit, you are still leading but only by 500 points! I am at 957,500.
Will post team and points Wednesday AM.
I lost Justin, but he clearly lost last night. And I thought Miya was way off pitch. I’m sort of surprised that Blake saved the crooner, but he is so confident and such an entertainer! I’m just not sure where he fits in today’s music.

I believe the Tuesday Knockout is only 1-hour long. This is what the pairing (only one confirmed at the moment) and song choices are:
Team Alicia
Christiana, Elastic Heart by Sia
Terrence, Tell Me Something Good by Chaka Khan
Note: Is it my imagination or does this have SAVE written all over it???
Team Kelly
Brynn, Here Comes Goodbye by Rascal Flatts
No opponent listed yet
Team Blake
Pryor, Will It Go Round in Circles by Billy Preston
No opponent listed yet
I was going to wait a while to post this, hoping the remaining pairings and song choices would be out. But, if similar to Monday’s Knockout, they weren’t posted until show time.
I’m not loving Terrence anymore. 
I thought Brynn was good tonight.
Watched the Tuesday performances on nbc.com.
Brynn was the standout of the night for me— in every conceivable category. I had no idea she was as good a performer. Her Battle performance looked a little staged. Tonight she looked completely natural. Finals-worthy performance. Breakthrough moment. She could win.
Christiana held her own against Terrence. America had Terrence winning. Glad she showed that she has power to go with her finesse. Terrence relies way too much on his falsetto, IMO. Almost his entire performance tonight was falsetto and a scream of sorts. Then that last “note” at the end? My Bose headphones are still buzzing. Alicia needs to reign him in. It’s looking more and more like his Blind was an exception and not the norm. Would not be surprised if Alicia has to add him when America doesn’t vote him into the top-2 on her team.
I don’t usually make lots of fashion/styling comments, but I love how both Brynn and Christiana look. They each have incredible style sense of their own.
Thought Pryor gave his best performance so far. Have not really liked him up until now. I still think the one to watch on Blake’s team could be Wilkes. We will see next Monday.
Kelly is starting to get on my last nerve. I wish it was about the performers more than the coaches but I know it’s not and never will be.

Let’s post our points and players in the morning.

Kyla, Brynn 37
Jackie F, Christiana, Reid 30
Terrence 29
Kaleb, Mia 2
Brynn 37
Drew 37
Christiana 30
Johnny 30
Terrence 29
Spensha 22
Pryor 19
Britton 2
1.082,000
At the moment, my top-3 will be Brynn, Terrence, and Christiana however the only one I feel really good about is Brynn. My other 2 considerations for top-3 placement would be Britton and Pryor. Currently, Brynn is the only artist from Tuesday charting on iTunes. I wish Terrence would get more melodic and less artsy. If last night’s performance was so incredible, why hasn’t he cracked the iTunes Top-200 yet?
If we end up having the same top-3, musicmerit. it might come down to which of our 5 dissimilar artists survive the Playoffs. You have 6 maximum day count artists to my 5. Not counting our overlapping artists, you have 3 to my 2. Your team leans female while mine leans male.
Here’s the iTunes Top-200 link showing which artists charted in the Knockouts this week:

Brynn 16
Britton 37
Jackie F 28
Johnny 28
Terrence 28
Drew 37
Tich 8
Dallas 2
I’ve been meaning to mention fashion but kept forgetting. I have noticed how most of the women are wearing high-waisted pants. I like that they are back in style.
musicmom, You have Britton (and Jackie F.as does musicmerit) max days. That could be big if you put Britton in your top-3 and he wins.
Speaking of Jackie F:
It was awful that people were so rude to her on social media. Thought her response to all the criticism was excellent. Do I think strategically she made a mistake by not staying with Adam? Yes I do. Alicia’s team is the strongest and her loyalty will be with Terrence, Christiana, and Britton first and foremost. A similar situation occurred last season, when Jennifer Hudson stole Noah Mac. He didn’t get the same love from her as did the artists she won in the Blinds…
IMO, the bigger strategic misstep goes to Adam. Even though Adam thought Mia may have won the Battle with Jackie F. I feel he should have picked Jackie and saved Mia. Mia would have also had other coaches wanting to steal her but he was the only one who turned for her in the Blinds and he would have reminded her of that. Mia’s loyalty likely would have remained with Adam.
Final Knockout, 3 of 3, tonight. Here are the pairings and song choices that are known at this time:
Team Alicia
Britton, New York State of Mind by Billy Joel
Dallas, TBA
Kelsea, Rise Up by Andra Jay
Sharane, All I Could Do Was Cry by Etta James but also done by Beyoncé
Team Kelly
Alexa, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John
Jorge, TBA
D.R., (I Know) I’m Losing You by The TemptationsP
Tish, Lady Marmalade by Patti LaBelle and others
Team Adam
Gary, Many Rivers To Cross by Jimmy Cliff
Rayshun, Fallin’ by Alicia Keys
Reid, Let Him Fly by Patty Griffin
Jordyn, TBD (This has montage written all over it)
Team Blake
Wilkes, The Climb by Miley Cyrus
Dylan, You Are The Best Thing by Ray LaMontagne
Here is who I believe has steals and saves left:
Adam- 1 steal remaining (saved Drew)
Kelly- 1 steal and 1 save remaining (stole Kaleb)
Blake- 1 steal remaining (saved Austin)
Alicia- No steals or saves remaining (stole Jackie F., saved Christiana)
Should be a great final Knockout!
Tonight has just been okay for me so far. But, maybe I’m missing something! Hoping for a wow moment before the night is over!
Sevmom, I have to agree with you! I have only watched the clips but some of the song choices have been overworked… and then some.
Spoiler alert for West Coaster (like me):
I wish Blake had stolen Dallas but, to be totally blunt, she was a mess tonight. Stealing Gary was akin to the football draft. You need a QB (Country singer) but, instead, you take “best player available” who happens to be a running back (R&B/Soul singer). I think it was the right choice.
Yeah, Dallas had some pitch problems tonight. I thought Tish and D.R. were a screamfest. I liked Wilkes’ version of The Climb and I added him to my team when I lost Dallas. I didn’t think Alexa had that great of a night, but it worked out ok for her. Britton is just cool.
