Its back toThe VoiceBattle Rounds. Thats a real lineup there, people. Team Legend: Jared Herzog vs. Will BremanSong:Treat You Better by Shawn MendesIts a soul-pop off! How that doesnt give him a buy into the live rounds, I do not know. Johns advisor, Usher, is into both of the guys voices, but there are lots of notes. Will is already a professional, you see? Gwen calls it crazy energy but it exudes confidence....

Lets take a look at what pairs came through tonight, and who got saved by the button. To their credit, they do manage to put on quite a show. Combined with Kymberli, though, theres just too much going on as they say, threes a crowd. Credit: Trae Patton/NBC Winner: Kymberli JoyeSteal: N/A. Winner: Steve MemmoloSteal: Anthony Arya to Team Jennifer. And since it happens to be one of Adams favorites, thats a bummer for everyone involved....

hey know that I begin every one of my recaps singing This isThe Voice! Its so catchy, how can you not? Anyway, this isThe Voiceand these are the Blind Auditions (not as catchy). THE VOICE — Blind Auditions — Pictured: Khalea Lynee — (Photo by: Justin Lubin/NBC).Justin Lubin/NBC Its harsh but true! Yet, that sincere pitch is not enough. Ricky Braddy, Nashville, Tenn.Song:The Story by Brandi CarlileWHAT IS THIS EPISODE DOING TO ME?...

For better or worse, we’re getting some original singles tonight. (But also that show is a delight and I treasure it.) In case you want to know my emotional state at the moment. Credit: nbc Anyway, I’m totally fine, guys. John couldnt be more pleased with the performance, and applauds CammWesss artistry and passion. He wants Todd to convey that in his performance. Micahs song was produced with the help of Shane McAnally fromSongland....

It all comes down to tonight, people. What a journey its been! Things could get interesting! THE VOICE — “Live Finale Performances” Episode 1720A — Pictured: Rose Short — (Photo by: Trae Patton/NBC).Trae Patton/NBC So, pay attention! Hes a reliable rock stud, what more could you need? Plus, the guy has on a sequin blazer and leather pants he means business. Coach Kelly Clarkson calls it radio-ready, which is a great sign....

Nick Jonas cracks a joke, it immediately backfires. And soThe Voicemarches on. Its the first night of Knockouts the last round ahead of Live Playoffs so the pressure is on. Tyler Golden/NBC There will surely be some great artists up for grabs. Just soak in that joy. Thats a tough sell for a sweet 14-year-old. He doesnt exactly succeed in doing that during his performance, although his vocals are great....

Not surprisingly, the 17th spot goes to Team Nick’s Michael Williams! Whew, that’s a lot of rules. Should we get to the singing? NBC Thunderstorm, unsurprisingly, sounds great on this song, making it extra-moody with his bare-bones acoustic arrangement. And then, guys, the whistling. Thunderstorm has a whistling section and … it is great? His former coachJohn Legendcompares it to how he felt after Thunderstorm performed Blackbird in his audition....

Not only has he won six times, but hes coached 24 people to the finale. Will Blake break his dry spell? Thats the way to kick off an episode. THE VOICE — “Blind Auditions” Episode 1702 — Pictured: Blake Shelton — (Photo by: Trae Patton/NBC).Trae Patton/NBC A cappella, you guys! Its very risky and it totally pays off. Max has multiple chair turns before he even gets to the accompanied section....

Heres a look at how well each of these pairings did against each other. Jej followed that up with a more saccharine, albeit soulful take on Versace on the Floor. Wholl win?L.B. Credit: Trae Patton/NBC Neither are particularly memorable performances, but they are still serviceable showings of their individual styles and range. The other coaches are also split, as Kelly prefers Julians delivery, while Blake favors Kalvins performance. Wholl win?Kalvin has probably eked out the W here....

Of course, that means well be losing half the contestants along the way. Its going to be intense perhaps the Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins duet performance will soften the blow? Or will Dance Monkey by Tones and I help lift your spirits? THE VOICE — “Live Semi Final Results” Episode 1719B — Pictured: (l-r) Will Breman, Marybeth Byrd, Rose Short — (Photo by: Trae Patton/NBC).Trae Patton/NBC Because weve got a performance from her, too....

Lets see who earns seat No. 12 on Blake, John, Gwen, and Kellys teams. Based on song choice alone, 16-year-old Zoe is my favorite contestant. THE VOICE — “Blind Auditions/Battle Rounds” Episode 1707 — Pictured: (l-r) Zoe Upkins, Khalea Lynee — (Photo by: Trae Patton/NBC).Trae Patton/NBC People should be singing Monica and Brandy 90s bops at every turn. And now here he is demonstrating a very cool rasp onThe Voiceand joining Team Blake....

Plus, marvel at John Legend’s perfect pink suit. Well, friends, I hate to tell you but next week isThe Voicefinale. Each artist will be dedicating their song to one of their biggest fans. Don’t you feel better, even for like two minutes? And if all else fails, let John Legend’s gorgeous pink suit bring you bliss. Now, let’s get down to business. Which one of these performances is Top 5 worthy?...

We dont have to wait long to get the answer tolast nights cliffhanger. Lets get right into the new auditions. Injoy Fountain, Wichita, Kan.Song:7 Rings by Ariana GrandeNow, thats how you make an entrance.
